Evaluating Purely Reproductive Disorders Under The Americans With Disabilities Act, Todd Lebowitz
Evaluating Purely Reproductive Disorders Under The Americans With Disabilities Act, Todd Lebowitz
Michigan Law Review
Approximately 2.8 million American couples suffer from infertility, a condition generally defined by the medical community as the failure to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. During the past thirty years, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for treating infertility have improved drastically, enabling many previously infertile couples to bear children. These techniques, however, involve considerable expense and inconvenience, frequently requiring patients to take time off from work. Disputes with employers may follow, sometimes resulting in the infertile employee's termination. Some terminated employees, claiming that infertility constitutes a disability, then sue their former employers under the Americans with Disabilities Act of …

"Supervisor" Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment Claims, Liability Insurance, And The Trend Towards Negligence, Amanda D. Smith
"Supervisor" Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment Claims, Liability Insurance, And The Trend Towards Negligence, Amanda D. Smith
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
A lack of settled standards for determining liability in supervisor hostile environment sexual harassment lawsuits combined with similar uncertainty in the context of employer liability insurance coverage has resulted in increased litigation in this area. This Note argues that the current predominant standard in the employer liability context, which is based on negligence principle should be rejected in favor of an apparent authority standard, which more appropriately strikes a balance between encouraging employers to identify harassing behaviors and exonerating them from liability when they do so and take appropriate remedial action. It further argues that in order to develop effective …

Affirmative Action Implications For Colleges And Universities Beyond The Scholarship And Student Admissions Areas, Ellen R. Dassance
Affirmative Action Implications For Colleges And Universities Beyond The Scholarship And Student Admissions Areas, Ellen R. Dassance
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
In Podberesky v. Kirwan, the Fourth Circuit held that a University of Maryland scholarship designated for African-American students violated the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. In so holding, the court contributed to the recent tradition of dismantling affirmative action programs in higher education. This Note explores the implications of Podberesky for other university settings, particularly faculty hiring and endowment programs. The first part of the Note's analysis concentrates on ways in which the Podberesky rationale may -be extended to university ,programs other than scholarships and student admissions. The Fourth Circuit's employment of a narrow set of factors in reviewing the scholarship …

The Use Of Self-Regulation To Curb Discrimination And Sexual Harassment In The Legal Profession, Joan Brockman
The Use Of Self-Regulation To Curb Discrimination And Sexual Harassment In The Legal Profession, Joan Brockman
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Many law societies in Canada have responded to studies documenting gender bias and sexual harassment in the legal profession by introducing anti-discrimination rules. The Law Society of British Columbia introduced anti-discrimination rules in 1993. This article discusses the attitudes of a stratified random sample of lawyers (50 women and 50 men) called to the Bar in British Columbia between 1986 and 1990, gathered through in-depth interviews conducted in 1993-94. It addresses the question of whether they think the Law Society's rules prohibiting discrimination and sexual harassment will be effective. The article also raises some questions about the role of self-regulation …

Judicial Deference To Administrative Construction Of Washington's Law Against Discrimination: Griffin V Eller And Marquis V. City Of Spokane, Michael Spiro
Washington Law Review
Washington's Law Against Discrimination is a broad remedial statute, granting both a general civil right to be free from discrimination and prohibiting certain specific "unfair practices." Although no person may be prevented from bringing a cause of action to enforce his or her civil rights, the remedies available for unfair practices are more limited. The Washington State Human Rights Commission ("Commission") recognized this statutory distinction, interpreting the Law Against Discrimination ("Act") to grant independent contractors the right to bring a cause of action for violations of their civil rights and to confine the statute's small employer exemption to its own …

Hopwood V. Texas: The Beginning Of The End For Racial Preference Programs In Higher Education, Jeremy Moeser
Mercer Law Review
In Hopwood v. Texas, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that the University of Texas ("UT") School of Law's admissions program, which gave preference to African-Americans and Mexican-Americans, violated the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. For the 1992 school year, the University of Texas School of Law processed applications by using an applicant's Texas Index ("TI") number, a figure comprised of the applicant's undergraduate grade point average and Law School Admissions Test ("LSAT") score. Based on the TI, the law school distributed applications into three categories of review: presumptive admit, presumptive deny, and discretionary zone. For …
Romer V. Evans And Democracy's Domain, Jane S. Schacter
Romer V. Evans And Democracy's Domain, Jane S. Schacter
Vanderbilt Law Review
As we gather at this Symposium to probe the definition of democracy in the coming century, it seems fitting to note that we are continuing a very old political conversation rather than initiating a new one. The meaning of democracy has long been contested. One of the most vexing aspects of the debate has always centered on whether and how to limit the majority's prerogative to act in ways that disadvantage minorities. Viewed from a different angle, the question is how to configure the relationship between majority preferences and equality norms. It is the basic dilemma of democratic equality: What …
