Credit For Motherhood, 2009 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Credit For Motherhood, Melissa Jacoby
Melissa B. Jacoby
This essay builds on prior work exploring the impact of consumer lenders who sell credit products for assisted reproduction and adoption. After reviewing some basic attributes of the parenthood lending market, the essay discusses how not-for-profit lenders promote traditional conceptions of motherhood and the division of carework in ways that credit discrimination laws were not designed to address. The essay also articulates some incentives of for-profit lenders to sell motherhood and potential implications for women who are ambivalent about becoming parents.

The Upside Of Baby Markets, 2009 University of Maryland School of Law
The Upside Of Baby Markets, Martha Ertman
Martha M. Ertman
Few think there is an upside to baby markets. This chapter challenges conventional wisdom by suggesting that marketizing parenthood through the sale of gametes and other reproductive technologies facilitates family formation by single and gay people. After briefly reviewing literature, it defends commercialization of human eggs and sperm and applies those defenses to embryo markets.

Beyond The Binary: What Can Feminists Learn From Intersex And Transgender Jurisprudence?, Marybeth Herald
Marybeth Herald
This panel discussion focuses on recent developments in the intersex and transsexual communities. Recently, both movements have undergone profound changes and each has provided new and unique theoretical and practical perspectives that can potentially benefit other social justice groups. This dialogue describes these developments. It also emphasizes the importance of feminist, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersex activists becoming aware of the goals that they share and areas where their interests may diverge. As each of these movements develops their legal strategies, they need to be conscious of the potentially positive and negative ramifications that their approaches may have on …
Denying Choice Of Forum: An Interference By The Massachusetts Trial Court With Domestic Violence Victims' Rights, 2009 Northeastern University School of Law
Denying Choice Of Forum: An Interference By The Massachusetts Trial Court With Domestic Violence Victims' Rights, Margaret B. Drew, Marilu E. Gresens
Margaret B Drew
The article discusses the due process denials inherent in the Massachusetts scheme designed to defeat the victim's choice of forum for hearing on a civil protection order petition. The scheme would divert many protection orders to family court even though the statute in question permits filing and hearing of the petitions in district, superior and famiy courts. The diversion would be available whenever there is a related case filed in family court at the time that the petition for protection is filed. More alarmingly, the petition could be diverted to family court if a subsequent action was filed in the …
Gay And Lesbian Elders: History, Law, And Identity Politics In The United States, 2009 Temple University School of Law
Gay And Lesbian Elders: History, Law, And Identity Politics In The United States, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
The approximately two million gay and lesbian elders in the United States are an underserved and understudied population. At a time when gay men and lesbians enjoy an unprecedented degree of social acceptance and legal protection, many elders face the daily challenges of aging isolated from family, detached from the larger gay and lesbian community, and ignored by mainstream aging initiatives. Drawing on materials from law, history, and social theory, this book integrates practical proposals for reform with larger issues of sexuality and identity. Beginning with a summary of existing demographic data and offering a historical overview of pre-Stonewall views …

Prólogo Al Libro “Estudios Sobre Responsabilidad Contractual” De Fernando Pantaleón Prieto, Rómulo Morales
Rómulo Martín Morales Hervias
El prólogo que se publica es la versión completa y no la mutilada intencionalmente por quien no admite la discrepancia en temas jurídicos. El libro que se comenta es un buen ejemplo de un inevitable malabarismo doctrinario que consiste en intentar interpretar un código del siglo XIX mediante las doctrinas post modernas del Derecho Civil. Ello es una prueba irrefutable que lo más importante no es tanto arribar al sentido literal de la norma jurídica sino lograr encontrar el sentido de una interpretación actualizada y bien fundamentada.

En el contrato de consumo, el empresario ejerce las libertades de celebrar el contrato y de estipulación mientras que el consumidor solo ejerce la libertad de celebrar el contrato. El Código peruano de Protección y Defensa del Consumidor no lo define adecuadamente.

Régimen De Prisión Preventiva En América Latina: La Pena Anticipada, La Lógica Cautelar Y La Contrarreforma / Pre-Trial Detention Regime In Latin America: The Pre-Trial Punishment, Flight Risk And The Counter Reform, Claudio Fuentes Maureira
Claudio Fuentes Maureira
One of the main reasons that justified the criminal procedure reform in Latin America was the possibility to overcome and changed different practices that were very problematic. One of these complex situations was the excessive use of pre-trial detention in the context of criminal investigations; in particular, the abuse of this institution had a dangerous outcome when it comes to the protection of the human rights of the detainees.
From the mid 90’s onwards, most of the Latin American countries started a reform of their criminal institutions and proceedings. A considerable portion of the legal framework was heavily modified in …
