Equal Protection For Animals, Pat Andriola 2016 New York University School of Law

Equal Protection For Animals, Pat Andriola

Environmental and Earth Law Journal (EELJ)

This paper presents a simple argument: through a Dworkinian moral reading of the Constitution, nonhuman animals fall under the Supreme Court’s equal protection doctrinal framework for suspect classification. Therefore, nonhuman animals are protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The moral principle underlying equal protection is the ensuring of government’s empathetic and equitable treatment toward not just subgroups of humans (which have been judicially delineated by social constructs of race, gender, sexuality, and other defining characteristics), but toward all sentient beings who may become victim to the “tyranny of the majority.

The United States, China, And Freedom Of Navigation In The South China Sea, James W. Houck, Nicole M. Anderson 2016 Penn State Law

The United States, China, And Freedom Of Navigation In The South China Sea, James W. Houck, Nicole M. Anderson

James Houck

conventions on certain aspects.

Judicial perspectives of certain aspects in relation to the concept of limitation of

liability, like, inter alia, onus of proof, conduct barring limitation and forum

discharge the onus by proving an absence of fault or privity. …
