Gender Neutral Ii, K.K. Duvivier

Continuation of article above including discussions of personal pronouns, use of "they," and sex-neutral terms.
Gender Neutral, K.K. Duvivier
Gender Neutral, K.K. Duvivier
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Regardless of your preference, you should be aware that the use of "he" as a universal gender pronoun now is controversial, and your reader probably will follow only one of two very divergent ideologies. Therefore, fall back on a primary rule of persuasive writing: avoid any words or structures that alienate your rader or distract from your message.

Panic has set in. The deadline for your brief or memo is now measured in hours rather than days. You think, “Maybe the adrenaline will make me more efficient, but if only I had started earlier!” If you often or occasionally find yourself in this predicament, here are three suggestions to help you avoid it in the future.

Cornell Law Faculty Publications
We do not need to worry about the consumers of law reviews because they really do not exist. A few professors who author texts must read some of the articles, but most volumes are purchased to decorate law school library shelves. The only purchasers of law reviews outside of academe are law firms which gladly pay for the volumes even though no one reads them.

Personal Narratives And Racial Distinctiveness In The Legal Academy, Maria O'Brien
Personal Narratives And Racial Distinctiveness In The Legal Academy, Maria O'Brien
Faculty Scholarship
A small group of legal academicians is embroiled in yet another debate that, to the uninitiated at least, appears to have little or nothing to do with "the law." 1 This time the issue is the ideology of legal writing style-that is, does a growing, unique body of legal scholarship that draws on the personal experiences of minority faculty and, arguably, reflects the racial oppression these scholars have suffered, produce "distinct normative insights?" 2 Professor Patricia Williams of the University of Wisconsin clearly believes that it does.
In her new book, The Alchemy of Race and Rights,3 which is …

Be Plain, K.K. Duvivier
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
You are pondering which word to use in a brief. Which should you sue—“supra,” “aforementioned” or “above”? Be cautious of Latin and archaic English words. If you use them, your argument, as well as your reputation may be placed at risk.

Legal Research In A Social Science Setting: The Problem Of Method, T Brettel Dawson
Legal Research In A Social Science Setting: The Problem Of Method, T Brettel Dawson
Dalhousie Law Journal
As part of its ongoing process of curriculum development, the Department of Law at Carleton University decided in 1988 that a compulsory course in legal research methods was long overdue in the B.A. Honours degree in Law. Fortified with interest nurtured by methodological debates in feminist scholarship,' experience devilling' for a barrister pending my call to the bar, and practice from instructing a course in legal research and writing while a graduate student, I set about developing the proposed course. No guidelines existed for such a course, beyond the logic that it should complement the socio-legal or legal studies focus …

White Space, K.K. Duvivier
White Space, K.K. Duvivier
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Assist your reader by providing white space for breaks. Consider the readers' response when confronted with a solid page of print. The same page will be less formidable when broken into three or four paragraphs. Logical break points can always be found, even if the whole page deals with just one idea or subject. Offer your readers "footholds. . .[t]o clamber over the trying cliff-face of prose." Facilitate communication by using shorter sentences and paragraphs.

For years librarians have debated which procedures will most effectively instruct law students in the art of legal research. Ms. Janto and Ms. Harrison-Cox trace the history of these efforts and propose a model program for the teaching of legal research.
Accommodation And Satisfaction: Women And Men Lawyers And The Balance Of Work And Family, David L. Chambers
Accommodation And Satisfaction: Women And Men Lawyers And The Balance Of Work And Family, David L. Chambers
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
This article by Professor Chambers began with data from the periodic surveys of Law School alumni he has conducted. It is adapted from an article Professor Chambers published in the journal Law and Social Inquiry.
Women first entered the legal profession in large numbers in the 1970s. The same movement that brought them into the profession also sought to deliver messages to men that they ought to participate more in the raising of children. How, over the years that have followed, have men and women lawyers responded to the multiple roles of home and work? How satisfied are they with …
Tax Policy And Panda Bears, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey S. Lehman
Tax Policy And Panda Bears, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey S. Lehman
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
In this article, Professors Kahn and Lehman argue that the concept of tax expenditures is flawed as a tool for measuring the propriety of tax provisions. It assumes the existence of one true and correct standard of dederal income taxation that applies to all circumstances. To make that assumption, the proponents of the concept implicitly make a particular moral claim about the relative importance of a wide range of values, including efficiency, consumption/savings neutrality, privacy, distributional equity, administrability, charity, and pragmatism. They then measure a tax provision's "normalcy"exclusively by how it conforms to their Platonic concept of income.
Professors Kahn …

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
The last Scrivener (November issue at page 2257) focused on a leading complaint that four Denver District Court judges identified when I polled them last summer. Recently, I have discussed legal writing problems with a few justices of the Colorado Supreme Court and judges of the Colorado Court of Appeals. This column focuses on some of the concerns voiced by these judges.

Secondary Legal Sources: A Selected Subject Bibliography Of Treatises, Looseleaf Services And Form Books Sixth Edition, Rose Coad, Beth Mcwilliams
Law Library Publications
The sixth edition of this bibliography is a subject arrangement of selected English language treatises, looseleaf services and form books. Most of the works listed were published in this country, and all are in the collection of this law library.
The object in revising this bibliography has been to present to law students of the University of Michigan a reasonably thorough listing of useful and current secondary sources covering domestic and international law. The inclusion of a work in this bibliography does not mean the Law Library is endorsing either the author's sty le or the substance of the work. …

University of Richmond Law Review
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law by President Bush on July 26, 1990, is viewed by many as the most significant civil rights legislation since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a result of census data, national polls, and other studies, there was a recognition that persons with disabilities, as a group, have been relegated to an inferior status in all realms of society. Thus, persons with disabilities have been, and remain, severely disadvantaged in achieving social interactions and vocational, economic and educational goals. The enactment of the ADA seeks to provide persons with disabilities the …

Teaching Writing Through Substance: The Integration Of Legal Writing With All Deliberate Speed, Michelle S. Simon
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The stated pedagogical task of the first year of law school is to teach students to "think like lawyers." Legal writing, which is a traditional first-year course, serves this purpose by helping students develop writing and analytical skills that are essential to their ultimate success as lawyers. The greatest difficulty faced by those who teach legal writing, however, is communicating to students that legal writing is a means towards synthesizing the law and preparing them for the complex legal and human problems of modern law practice. To help overcome this difficulty, Pace Law School has developed a course that fully …
