Sex Discrimination In Employment: What Has Title Vii Accomplished For The Female?
Sex Discrimination In Employment: What Has Title Vii Accomplished For The Female?
University of Richmond Law Review
The legislative intent of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act was to eradicate all forms of discriminatory employment practices based upon race, religion, national origin or sex. While the initial success of accomplishing this goal fell short of what was expected, important strides in recent years have reversed earlier disappointments.
Civil Rights-No State Action Necessary To Prohibit Racial Discrimination By "Private" School
Civil Rights-No State Action Necessary To Prohibit Racial Discrimination By "Private" School
University of Richmond Law Review
Until recently, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1982 were virtually useless as instruments with which to combat purely private racial discrimination. Certainly, one of the principal reasons behind this was the Supreme Court's decision in the Civil Rights Cases wherein the Court restrictively applied the thirteenth amendment, under which the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was enacted. However, in 1968, the Supreme Court ruled that the intention of Congress in enacting the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was to prohibit private racial discrimination as well as racial discrimination under color of law, and thereby vastly broadened the scope of the …
Narrowing The Scope Of The Bona Fide Occupational Qualification Exception-Sex Discrimination In Professional Baseball Runs Afoul Of The Law
University of Richmond Law Review
"Should a gentleman offer a lady a Tiparillo?" Such a question, popu- larized in a familiar advertisement only a few years ago, gives one keen insight into the stereotyped roles accepted for men and women during the past decade. In sharp relief today, women's liberation groups would have one believe that a man need not offer a woman anything; if she wants something, it is hers for the taking. Indeed, a recent national convention of hardcore feminists, echoing this aggressive attitude and citing that women compose fifty-three per cent of the nation's population, have warned that they intend to capture …

Civil Rights- Arrest Record As Basis For Job Denial Held Discriminatory
University of Richmond Law Review
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides that it is an unlawful employment practice to discriminate in hiring because of an individual's race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The purpose of this title is to eliminate discrimination in the labor market so as to afford persons with the ability to perform work and earn their livings the opportunity to do so without penalty because of one of these factors.

Law And Sociology: Some Issues For The 70'S, Albert J. Reiss Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The relationship between sociology and the lawhas not been a very stable one. It has barely passed from the stage of flirtation to that of courtship, though the dependence of each upon the other seems obvious enough to some scholars in each discipline. The two communities have long seemed content to live in symbiotic rather than commensal relations. There are a number of reasons why it is difficult to consummate a stable marriage at this time, if not in the long run.
Civil Rights Act And Professionally Developed Ability Tests
Civil Rights Act And Professionally Developed Ability Tests
University of Richmond Law Review
With the shift in America from a mercantile to a highly industrialized society, the right to use his labor and skill has become a person's most valuable asset. The common law did little to preserve this asset, since an employer had the absolute right to discharge his employee at will. While the fifth and fourteenth amendments to the Constitution provided some relief in federal and state discriminatory practices, they offered little hope for those deprived of employment opportunities by the discriminatory acts of private individuals.
