Menstrual Dignity And The Bar Exam, Margaret E. Johnson, Marcy L. Karin, Elizabeth Cooper
Menstrual Dignity And The Bar Exam, Margaret E. Johnson, Marcy L. Karin, Elizabeth Cooper
All Faculty Scholarship
This Article examines the issue of menstruation and the administration of the bar exam. Although such problems are not new, over the summer and fall of 2020, test takers and commentators took to social media to critique state board of law examiners’ (“BOLE”) policies regarding menstruation. These problems persist. Menstruators worry that if they unexpectedly bleed during the exam, they may not have access to appropriately sized and constructed menstrual products or may be prohibited from accessing the bathroom. Personal products that are permitted often must be carried in a clear, plastic bag. Some express privacy concerns that the see-through …
The International Law Of Prolonged Sieges And Blockades: Gaza As A Case Study, Eyal Benvenisti
The International Law Of Prolonged Sieges And Blockades: Gaza As A Case Study, Eyal Benvenisti
International Law Studies
In 2007, after Hamas’ takeover of the Gaza Strip, the area was subjected to an Israeli land siege, complemented in 2009 by a sea blockade. Since then, the already-dire living conditions in the Strip have declined consistently and the area’s dependence on external aid has grown. This essay examines the duties of a military power in imposing what is effectively a years-long confinement of people and outlines a general argument for expanding the obligations of a party that imposes a prolonged siege or blockade. I consider these obligations in light of three potentially relevant legal frameworks: the law of occupation; …

The Vulnerable Sovereign, Ronald A. Brand
The Vulnerable Sovereign, Ronald A. Brand
Articles
The connection between sovereignty and law is fundamental for both domestic (internal sovereignty) and the international (external sovereignty) purposes. As the dominant forms of government have evolved over time, so has the way in which we think about sovereignty. Consideration of the historical evolution of the concept of sovereignty offers insight into how we think of sovereignty today. A term that was born to represent the relationship between the governor and the governed has become a term that is used to represent the relationships between and among states in the global legal order. This article traces the history of the …

The Power Of The Dissent And Writing The Future Of Justice: Maat, Aristotle's Rhetoric, And Justice Ginsburg's Dissent In Kentucky V. King, Livan Davidson
The Power Of The Dissent And Writing The Future Of Justice: Maat, Aristotle's Rhetoric, And Justice Ginsburg's Dissent In Kentucky V. King, Livan Davidson
Intercultural Human Rights Law Review
This article explains why Ginsburg's dissent in King is rhetorically superior to the majority opinion. It evaluates, by way of comparing and contrasting, the persuasiveness of the dissent and majority opinions in King. This article examines the opinion through the lens of Aristotle's rhetorical model and the ancient tenet of Maat. It analyzes Ginsburg and Justice Alito's (Alito) use of rhetorical devices that appeal to persuasion, including logos (appeal to logic), ethos (appeal to credibility), pathos (appeal to emotions), and Maat (rightness in the world). This article concludes that Ginsburg's use of rhetoric has a superior appeal to fairness and …

States And Laws, Jews And Palestinians: Yadgar's Traditionist Alternative. A Reflection On Yadgar, Israel's Jewish Identity Crisis (Cambridge, 2020), James J. Friedberg
Intercultural Human Rights Law Review
This essay reviews Israel's Jewish Identity Crisis: State and Politics in the Middle East, published last year by Yaacov Yadgar (Stanley Lewis Professor of Israel Studies at the University of Oxford School of Global and Area Studies). His book connects Israel's sometimes arcane internal identity debates to core issues in the Israel/Palestine conflict, a connection largely unexamined prior to this book.
