Improving Substance Abuse Treatment For Women, Brenda V. Smith
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Alcohol and other drug use among women of child-bearing age has increased dramatically, and, as a result, more pregnant women are faced with alcohol and other drug problems. The only known national estimate suggests that 11 percent of pregnant women used illegal drugs during their pregnancy. Although pregnant crack-addicted women have received the most media attention, the problem is no less serious for alcohol and other drugs.
Alcohol and other drug use during pregnancy has negative physical and psychological consequences for both the mother and the child. Alcoholic mothers are at risk of having infants with fetal alcohol syndrome, which …
Proving Discrimination After Price Waterhouse And Wards Cove, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Proving Discrimination After Price Waterhouse And Wards Cove, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION Anyone involved in litigation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 19641 or similar state statutes may wonder what is entailed in proving or disproving discrimination after the United States Supreme Court's October 1988 Term. In fact, in the pending Civil Rights Act of 1990, Congress is considering reversing some of what the Supreme Court did during that Term. One of the issues that the Supreme Court addressed during the 1988 Term involved allocating burdens of proof in two major types of Title VII claims, dis- parate-treatment and disparate-impact. Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, dealt with a disparate-treatment …
Privatization Of Prisons: An Analysis Of The State Action Requirement Of The Fourteenth Amendment And 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Ira Robbins
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Introduction: The privatization of prisons raises important issues with respect to liability in suits brought by inmates. If a private company operates the prison, the state likely will be directly involved in some aspects of prison life, such as using force when necessary or making quasi-judicial decisions, but it may not be directly involved in the day-to-day operation of the institution. This dichotomy of involvement may lead to con- fusion over responsibility and accountability when a violation of rights is alleged to have occurred. When a private party, as opposed to a government employee, is charged with abridging rights guaranteed …

INTRODUCTION: A California employer who does not want to comply with California's mandatory unpaid pregnancy leave statute has reached the United States Supreme Court. The employer seeks to have the statute invalidated, claiming it is preempted by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The employer is arguing that the California pregnancy leave act is fatally underinclusive because it does not provide similar employment protection for workers with short-term disabilities. The district court agreed with the employer; the court of appeals did not.

Applying Restitution To Remedy A Discriminatory Denial Of Partnership, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Applying Restitution To Remedy A Discriminatory Denial Of Partnership, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article suggests that a plaintiff can bring a state cause of action in restitution, liability in unjust enrichment, as an alternative to a federal cause of action in Title VII if the plaintiff was discriminatorily denied partnership by a firm that paid her a salary, but billed her time by the hour to clients. If the firm earned more than it paid in salary and overhead to the plaintiff, that amount would be defendant’s gain, one of the elements of an action in restitution, and the amount to be disgorged should plaintiff prove the other two elements, that the …

INTRODUCTION: Open and competitive examination is generally perceived as the surest method of ensuring that public employees are selected on the basis of their merit and ability. Since the Pendleton Act of 1883, legislation has continually attempted to implement the view that efficient and impartial public sector employment requires that qualifications be demonstrated in an objective examination. But blacks, women and other minorities have been systematically excluded from public employment. This exclusion has resulted not only from bias in the examination, but also from other less visible aspects of the appointment process which supplant strict merit selection.
