The Paradox Of Family Privacy, David D. Meyer
The Paradox Of Family Privacy, David D. Meyer
Vanderbilt Law Review
When it comes to the nature of the Constitution's protection for freedom of choice in matters relating to family life, there is wide agreement on perhaps only two points: first, that the subject raises "questions of unsurpassed significance in th[e] Court's interpretation of the Constitution,"' and, second, that the Court's halting passes at these questions have left its family privacy doctrine in a state of unsurpassed disarray. The significance of the questions is transparent. A comprehensive account of the subject calls for answers to the most basic and intractable problems of judicial review, answers that might justify the judiciary's role …
The Absolution Of Reynolds: The Constitutionality Of Religious Polygamy, Todd M. Gillett
The Absolution Of Reynolds: The Constitutionality Of Religious Polygamy, Todd M. Gillett
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
The ancient practice of polygamy became prevalent in parts of the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, when the Mormon Church canonized the doctrine of polygamy and encouraged its practice among its members. Today, there are nearly 40, 000 polygamists in the United States, mostly living in Utah. The Supreme Court has ruled on polygamy several times in decisions and dicta, each time finding it to be unconstitutional within the United States. In Reynolds v. United States, a 1878 decision upholding a statute that criminalized polygamy, the Court introduced the belief/action distinction that controls religious First Amendment doctrine today. This …

Parens Patriae And A Modest Proposal For The Twenty-First Century: Legal Philosophy And A New Look At Children's Welfare, Natalie Loder Clark
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This paper will turn to philosophy to seek material for limiting the exercise of parens patriae power. A significant reduction of the government's role will better serve the modern concern for child rearing which is this century's re-definition of best interests.

The Alienation Of Fathers, Linda Kelly
The Alienation Of Fathers, Linda Kelly
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
By evaluating immigration and custody law from a father's perspective and thereby uncovering and addressing the biases held against men, both fathers and mothers will achieve greater recognition. Beyond revealing gender discrimination, such a study also demonstrates the disparate views still harbored toward unmarried parents. Examining custody and immigration law with an emphasis on these issues will hopefully foster a dialogue that brings the law in line with the reality of today's families and promotes each family member's individual potential.
Murder By Child Abuse—Who's Responsible After State V. Jackson? , Christine A. Martin
Murder By Child Abuse—Who's Responsible After State V. Jackson? , Christine A. Martin
Seattle University Law Review
Currently, under Washington law, a passive parent is not legally responsible for the death of his or her child from abuse. State v. Jackson is a horrific illustration of the gaps in Washington's law regarding the issue of who is responsible for the death of a child by abuse. Because passive parents should be held responsible for the death of their child from abuse, and because Washington's current laws are inadequate, Washington's legislature should create a special statute that would hold both abusive and passive parents culpable for the death of a child resulting from abuse.
The Honeymoon Is Definitely Over: The Use Of Civil Rico In Divorce
The Honeymoon Is Definitely Over: The Use Of Civil Rico In Divorce
San Diego Law Review
Within the field of family law, civil RICO is making an appearance in the aftermath of divorce cases. This statute appeals to both litigants and lawyers because of its generous civil provisions.8 Money is the motivating factor behind the use of civil RICO. Therefore, a vengeful ex-spouse, and his9 lawyer, have much to gain from pursuing RICO allegations.
Second-Parent Adoption, Patricia J. Falk
Second-Parent Adoption, Patricia J. Falk
Cleveland State Law Review
My topic for today's presentation is second-parent adoption. I hope to accomplish four things in my discussion. First, I will define second-parent adoption and give some reasons that it is desirable for both parents and children. Second, I will summarize the state of the law in terms of legislative enactments and case law in the United States. Third, I will discuss the role of social science in second-parent adoption cases. Finally, I will discuss some of the implications of recognizing these adoptions.
