A Case Study On Burying Alive Of Two Women In Balochistan, Sohail Ahmed Ansari Advocate
A Case Study On Burying Alive Of Two Women In Balochistan, Sohail Ahmed Ansari Advocate
Sohail Ahmed Ansari Advocate
Violence against women is present in a variety of forms in Pakistan. From domestic abuse & sexual harassment to child marriages and honour killing; a range of anti-women atrocities are carried out. Pakistani women face systematic discrimination from the day they are born. The patriarchal mindset of society refuses to recognize them as human beings deserving of equality, human rights and justice. Unfortunately in some parts of Balochistan a brutal custom of justice prevails; where the women are treated as trading objects. They are being tried without hearing their cause. They are not allowed to plea their case. They are …

The majority of that number were Blacks (33,069 inmates), followed by Whites (17,752 inmates), Hispanics (2,306 inmates) and other ethnic groups.

The Price Of Private Enforcement Under The False Claims Act, David Y. Kwok
The Price Of Private Enforcement Under The False Claims Act, David Y. Kwok
David Y Kwok
Private plaintiffs and their attorneys are motivated at least in part by monetary awards, but what is the appropriate award for litigation? I consider the case of the False Claims Act, through which the U.S. government recovers losses due to fraud by paying a bounty to whistleblowers. These whistleblowers and their attorneys generally receive a minimum 15% bounty in successful cases. Utilizing a data set of over 3000 fraud cases, I present observational evidence that whistleblowers are reluctant to bring cases valued under $440,000 and that they would be more likely to do so given a higher bounty percentage. This …

Racial minorities have achieved unparalleled electoral success in recent years. Simultaneously, they have continued to rank at or near the bottom in terms of health, wealth, income, education, and the effects of the criminal justice system. Social conservatives, including those on the Supreme Court, have latched onto evidence of isolated electoral success as proof of “post-racialism,” while ignoring the evidence of continued disparities for the vast majority of people of color.
This Essay will examine the tension between the Court's conservatives' repeated calls for minorities to achieve their goals through the political process and the Supreme Court's increasingly restrictive "colorblind" …
