Critical Error, Bryan L. Adamson
Critical Error, Bryan L. Adamson
Bryan L Adamson
Critical Error raises a novel double standard: while fact-specific trial court findings of actual malice are reviewed under the “independent judgment” standard (a wholesale re-weighting of the trial court record and decision) on appeal, intentional race discrimination findings are reviewed under the far more deferential Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 52 clear error standard. Both legal concepts are arrived at through assessing state-of-mind determinations; both directly trigger constitutional proscriptions. Only actual malice, however, is classified as a constitutional fact, thus taking it out of the more deferential standard of review. The Supreme Court has failed to clarify this important procedural …

Survey Of The Federal Government On Supervisor Practices In Employment Of People With Disabilities, Susanne M. Bruyere, William Erickson, Richard L. Horne
Susanne Bruyère
In 1999, the Presidential Task Force on the Employment of Adults with Disabilities (PTFEAD) funded Cornell University to conduct a survey of federal sector HR and EEO representatives regarding their experience implementing the employment disability nondiscrimination requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990(ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. One of the recommendations from this research was to conduct a follow-up study of federal agency supervisors and managers about their experience in accommodation and employment of persons with disabilities in the federal sector, and in addition to inquire about their awareness of the series of Executive …

The Unjust Exclusion Of Gay Sperm Donors: Litigation Strategies To End Discrimination In The Gene Pool, Luke A. Boso
The Unjust Exclusion Of Gay Sperm Donors: Litigation Strategies To End Discrimination In The Gene Pool, Luke A. Boso
Luke A. Boso
In May 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a final rule to be published in the Federal Register that would establish eligibility criteria for persons seeking to donate sperm and other human cells and tissues. Concurrently, the FDA issued a draft guidance document that provides recommendations for complying with the requirements, listing men who have had sex with another man in the preceding 5 years (MSMs) as the number one risk factor. The FDA does not, however, make a distinction between MSMs who practice safe sex and those who have unprotected sex, nor does it identify men who …
Reconstructing The Dormant Commerce Clause Doctrine, Brannon P. Denning
Reconstructing The Dormant Commerce Clause Doctrine, Brannon P. Denning
Brannon P. Denning
This article argues that the historic incoherence of the dormant Commerce Clause doctrine reflects the Court's perpetual creation and discarding of decision rules designed to implement a constitutional command that had never been clarified. Drawing on the work of Mitch Berman and Kim Roosevelt, I articulate a constitutional command--prohibition of interstate commerce likely to destabilize political union--derived from the Constitution, then suggest decision rules that would implement that command. While some of my conclusions map onto current doctrine, I recommend that the Court abandon so-called "balancing" since it does not make sense as a decision rule, given the constitutional command …
Widow's Pension And Gender Equality: Runkee V. United Kingdom, Mel Cousins
Widow's Pension And Gender Equality: Runkee V. United Kingdom, Mel Cousins
Mel Cousins
The long litigation saga involving the compatibility of UK legislation on survivors’ benefits appears to have come to a (not particularly glorious) end with the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR) decision in Runkee and White v United Kingdom. This case involved a challenge to the compatibility of national law on the payment of widows’ pensions solely to women, similar to that considered by the House of Lords in Hooper and the ECtHR came to a similar conclusion holding that UK law was not incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.

Mega-Cases, Diversity, And The Elusive Goal Of Workplace Reform, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
Employment discrimination class action suits are part of a new wave of structural reform litigation. Like their predecessors - the school desegregation cases in the 1950s, the housing and voting inequalities cases in the 1960s, prison conditions suits in the 1970s, and environmental lawsuits since then - these are systemic challenges to major institutions affecting large segments of the public. This article explores the effectiveness of various employment discrimination remedies in reforming workplace cultures, promoting corporate accountability, and implementing real diversity.
