Title Vii: Legal Protection Against Sexual Harassment, Kerri Weisel
Title Vii: Legal Protection Against Sexual Harassment, Kerri Weisel
Washington Law Review
This comment will focus on the three major themes raised by these decisions: (1) whether sexual harassment is or can be gender-based; (2) whether or not the supervisor must be treated as the representative of the employer; and (3) whether recognition of a Title VII cause of action will inundate the courts with unfounded claims of harassment. After exploring the approaches and analyses of the various courts, the comment concludes that sexual harassment can constitute a violation of Title VII's prohibition against sex discrimination; and that whether it does or not is basically a question of fact.
The Paradox Of Preferential Treatment—Reverse Discrimination—The Implications Of Lindsay V. City Of Seattle, 86 Wn. 2d 698, 548 P.2d 320, Cert. Denied Sub Nom. Brabant V. City Of Seattle, 97 S. Ct. 237 (1976), Kerry Radcliffe
Washington Law Review
In upholding a municipal affirmative action plan, Lindsay provides a point of departure for an analysis of the reverse discrimination questions inherent in such plans. Following a brief history of the development of preferential employment remedies and an examination of the Lindsay decision, this note will evaluate preferential relief and reverse discrimination within the framework of Lindsay, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and recent court decisions. Applicability of the Lindsay methodology to future reverse discrimination cases will be examined in light of apparent Supreme Court approval of a reverse discrimination cause of action under Title VII. …

Abortion And Constitution: United States And West Germany, Donald P. Kommers
Journal Articles
The US Supreme Court’s 1973 and the German Federal Constitutional Court’s 1975 decisions on abortion provide us with an uncommon opportunity to compare the constitutional law of different nations on the issue. The two courts took opposing stances in their decisions. The US Supreme Court substantially curtailed the power of American states to limit abortion while the German court ruled that an existing statute that permitted abortion within the first three months of pregnancy violated the rights of unborn children. These opinions can be explained by the different political contexts of the two nations and different perceptions on judicial intervention …
