Courts Rule Too Narrowly Regarding The Right To Wear Religious Clothing In Public, Kendyl L. Green Jan 2018

Courts Rule Too Narrowly Regarding The Right To Wear Religious Clothing In Public, Kendyl L. Green

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

For numerous years, state and institutional rules have barred individuals from wearing religious clothing. Specifically, this issue has arisen in the military, the workplace, police departments, prisons, and public schools. Wearing religious clothing, particularly head coverings, is a vital aspect of Judaism, Islam, and Sikhism. The United States Constitution upholds the right to religious liberty in the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Additionally, the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) statutes also protect religious freedom. Below, cases are examined that …

The Making Of A Libertarian, Contrarian, Nonobservant, But Self-Identified Jew, Randy E. Barnett Jan 2015

The Making Of A Libertarian, Contrarian, Nonobservant, But Self-Identified Jew, Randy E. Barnett

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Many academics are unaware that I am Jewish, no doubt due, in part, to my last name as well as to my politics, Yet growing up as a Jew in Polish-Catholic Calumet City, Illinois and as a kid from Calumet City attending Temple in Hammond, Indiana made me quite conscious of the tyranny of the majority. This environment, together with the influence of my father, had a deep affect on my views of liberty, justice, individual rights, and the U.S. Constitution. In this brief essay, prepared for a symposium on “Judaism and Constitutional Law: People of the Book,” held at …


Post-Myriad Genetics Copyright Of Synthetic Biology And Living Media, Michael D. Murray Jan 2014

Post-Myriad Genetics Copyright Of Synthetic Biology And Living Media, Michael D. Murray

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

This Article addresses copyright as a viable form of intellectual property protection for living, organic creations of science and art. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. narrowed patent-eligible protection over living components of humans or other organisms. Synthetic biologists are expected to look with renewed focus on copyright law for the intellectual property protection of biological creations. The contribution of this Article is to reveal that the same issues are raised with regard to the copyrightability of the works of synthetic biology as are raised by pictorial, graphic, and sculptural arts …

Response To Zadoff On Kwall, Roberta Rosenthal Kwall Jan 2013

Response To Zadoff On Kwall, Roberta Rosenthal Kwall

Cardozo Law Review de•novo

In The Cultural Analysis Paradigm: Women and Synagogue Ritual as a Case Study, I demonstrate that a cultural analysis of halakhah views the norms of female ritualistic participation concerning being called to, and reading from the Torah as the result of environment, conditioning, history, and context, rather than as an unalterable mandate. To my knowledge, the idea that halakhah should be understood through a cultural analysis lens has not previously been explored in either the legal or Jewish studies literature. The paradigm developed in the Article was based on an extensive review of the cultural analysis literature and represents …


The Cultural Analysis Paradigm: Women And Synagogue Ritual As A Case Study, Roberta Rosenthal Kwall Dec 2012

The Cultural Analysis Paradigm: Women And Synagogue Ritual As A Case Study, Roberta Rosenthal Kwall

Cardozo Law Review

This Article develops an original cultural analysis paradigm with significant implications for understanding the relationship between law and culture. It also illustrates how this relationship should inform the normative application of areas of law in which tensions exist between modern sensibilities and traditional practices steeped in cultural perspectives from other times. Indeed, the negotiation between preservation and change confronts all ancient cultural traditions in modernity. The specific application invoked in this Article concerns the issue of women being called to read publicly from the Torah, a subject of serious academic debate among observant Jews. The analysis demonstrates that the virtually …

I am pleased to offer you Volume 10 of the Journal of Hate Studies (JHS), which is devoted to the theme “Hate and Political Discourse.” This is, in many ways, a special volume, and 2012-2013 is a special year too.

We mark these special occasions with the present volume and a special symposium held in Washington, DC in September 2012 to accompany this volume.


The Lessons Of Living Gardens And Jewish Process Theology For Authorship And Moral Rights, Roberta R. Kwall Jan 2012

The Lessons Of Living Gardens And Jewish Process Theology For Authorship And Moral Rights, Roberta R. Kwall

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This Article examines the issues of authorship, fixation, and moral rights through the lens of Jewish Process Theology. Jewish Process Theology is an application of Process Thought, which espouses a developmental and fluid perspective with respect to creation and creativity. This discipline offers important insights for how to shape and enforce copyright law. The issue of "change" and authorship is more important now than ever before given how the digital age is revolutionizing the way the world thinks about authorship. By incorrectly maintaining that a living garden is not capable of copyright protection since it is unfixed, changeable, and partially …

Orthodox Jewish Women And Eligibility For The Parsonage Exemption, Jacob Lewin Jan 2010

Orthodox Jewish Women And Eligibility For The Parsonage Exemption, Jacob Lewin

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the eligibility of Orthodox Jewish women for the parsonage exemption under Section 107 of the Internal Revenue Code, arguing that unordained women can qualify if they hold formal theological degrees, despite lacking formal ordination or certification. It critiques Michael Broyde’s proposal that functional roles alone suffice, asserting that requiring formal licensing or certification prevents abuse of the exemption while ensuring its purpose of supporting religious leadership is maintained.


The Federal Arbitration Act After Alafabco: A Case Analysis, Benjamin D. Tievsky Jan 2010

The Federal Arbitration Act After Alafabco: A Case Analysis, Benjamin D. Tievsky

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

In late 2009, a divided Supreme Court of Washington held in Satomi Owners Ass'n v. Satomi, L.L.C. that the arbitration provision in a warranty addendum to a sales contract between a condominium developer and an owners' association was enforceable. Specifically, the court held that the provision was within the reach of the Federal Arbitration Act, and that a Washington state statute preserving the parties' right to litigate with regard to the warranty addendum was therefore preempted. This Note will explore the potential importance of this decision for defining the contours of the applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act (at least …


Front Matter, James Mohr, Joanie Eppinga, Steven Baum Jan 2009

Front Matter, James Mohr, Joanie Eppinga, Steven Baum

Journal of Hate Studies

“I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand.” This quotation from Charles Schultz’s Linus is brought to mind by the current volume of the Journal of Hate Studies. This year’s theme, “The Science of Hate,” has brought forth notions about how, under the auspices of some ideal that is sure to benefit humankind, science is used as a bottom line or a justification for horrendous behavior directed toward individuals or groups of individuals.

Religion And Law Use: Constraints On Local Boards' Decision Making, John R. Nolon, Jessica A. Bacher Oct 2004

Religion And Law Use: Constraints On Local Boards' Decision Making, John R. Nolon, Jessica A. Bacher

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

While local legislatures generally have broad authority to enact land use regulations that serve a public interest, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act as well as constitutional limits found in the First Amendment limit religious land use regulations that seek to restrict religious freedom. This article explores the Second Circuit’s decision in Westchester Day School v. Village of Mamaroneck, and makes suggestions about the future implications of the court’s decision.

The Last Uncomfortable "Religious" Question? Monotheistic Exclusivism And Textual Superiority In Judaism, Christianity, And Islam As Sources Of Hate And Genocide, Steven Leonard Jacobs Jan 2004

The Last Uncomfortable "Religious" Question? Monotheistic Exclusivism And Textual Superiority In Judaism, Christianity, And Islam As Sources Of Hate And Genocide, Steven Leonard Jacobs

Journal of Hate Studies

This paper is a preliminary examination of some of the texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam–Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Qur’an–that appear to affirm such exclusivism, and, at the same time, a reflection upon the meanings and implications of those texts coterminous with their historical realities.
