Are Women Persons?, Drucilla Cornell Jan 1997

Are Women Persons?, Drucilla Cornell

Animal Law Review

The scope of animal rights is much broader than the vast majority of individuals believe. People spend little time considering how our legal system's treatment of animals affects society. Thw law, created to protect beings from harm, has time and again proven itself a stubborn, static creation. Hozever, through the efforts of people who have recognized the law's shortcomings and have sought to correct thm, justice may eventually prevail. Un1fortunately, the best means by which to accomplish justice for animals is not clear, and disagreements inevitably arise. The essays which follow are written by exparts from various interdisciplinaryf ields at …

What Trina Taught Me: Reflections On Mediation, Inequality, Teaching And Life, Carrie Menkel-Meadow Jan 1997

What Trina Taught Me: Reflections On Mediation, Inequality, Teaching And Life, Carrie Menkel-Meadow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Trina Grillo and I trained together as mediators, met together as law teachers, commiserated together as women and civil rights activists, and laughed and cried together as friends. I shall miss her wise counsel, her sensible judgment, her measured indignation, her gentleness and her razor sharp perceptions about the world, across, through and with her gender, race, class, and human identities. I shall miss her words, her presence, her body, her corporeal essence, but she will always be with me and my students in her spirit and through her contributions to our work. In this Essay I want to reflect …

Wards Cove Packing Or Not Wards Cove Packing? That Is Not The Question: Some Thoughts On Impact Analysis Under The Age Discrimination In Employment Act, Mack A. Player

University of Richmond Law Review

Assume two employers, A and B. Each gives a separate objective test to select employees for a particular position. Employer A utilizes a pen-and-paper, multiple choice examination that has questions in three major categories: 1) biology and genetics which includes DNA theory, cloning, etc.; 2) astrophysics, with questions about time, space, light relationships, "black holes," novas, etc. and 3) microprocessor engineering, the internet, silicon chips, and the like.

Foucault In Cyberspace: Surveillance, Sovereignty, And Hardwired Censors, James Boyle Jan 1997

Foucault In Cyberspace: Surveillance, Sovereignty, And Hardwired Censors, James Boyle

Faculty Scholarship

This is an essay about law in cyberspace. I focus on three interdependent phenomena: a set of political and legal assumptions that I call the jurisprudence of digital libertarianism, a separate but related set of beliefs about the state's supposed inability to regulate the Internet, and a preference for technological solutions to hard legal issues on-line. I make the familiar criticism that digital libertarianism is inadequate because of its blindness towards the effects of private power, and the less familiar claim that digital libertarianism is also surprisingly blind to the state's own power in cyberspace. In fact, I argue that …

Reconceptualizing Chevron And Discretion: A Comment On Levin And Rubin, Gary S. Lawson Jan 1997

Reconceptualizing Chevron And Discretion: A Comment On Levin And Rubin, Gary S. Lawson

Faculty Scholarship

Professors Ronald Levin and Edward Rubin want to change the way we think about important administrative law concepts. Ronald Levin's paper, The Anatomy of Chevron: Step Two Reconsidered,1 argues that Chevron's currently ill-defined second step ought to be reconceptualized as an application of arbitrary or capricious review. Edward Rubin's paper, Discretion and Its Discontents,3 is part of his ongoing project to reconceptualize the way we think-and, more importantly, the way we talk-about the modern administrative state. Professor Rubin suggests that the oft-used word "discretion" does not usefully describe the bureaucratic operation of the modern managerial state and that it profitably …


Judicial Plagiarism: It May Be Fair Use But Is It Ethical?, Jaime S. Dursht Dec 1996

Judicial Plagiarism: It May Be Fair Use But Is It Ethical?, Jaime S. Dursht

Cardozo Law Review

Plagiarism is the intentional appropriation of the creative product or scholarship of another without attribution. Judicial plagiarism arises when judges author opinions that employ materials from copyrighted sources such as law journals or books, but neglect to give credit to the author. In opinion writing-a form of writing in which use and citation to authority is customary-the offense of plagiarism lies simply in neglecting to identify the source. In the academic world, plagiarism is considered to be a "capital offense, punishable by academic death for student or faculty," and it is treated no more favorably in professions in which responsible …


A Theory Of Insurance Policy Interpretation, Kenneth S. Abraham Dec 1996

A Theory Of Insurance Policy Interpretation, Kenneth S. Abraham

Michigan Law Review

The first principle of insurance law is captured by the maxim contra proferentem, which directs that ambiguities in a contract be interpreted "against the drafter," who is almost always the insurer. Yet given the modern recognition that language is an inherently imperfect instrument for communicating meaning, insurance policy provisions are in a sense always ambiguous. Moreover, in addition to contra proferentem, policyholders may invoke such allied doctrines as waiver, estoppel, and the rule that the reasonable expectations of the insured should be honored even if those expectations are unambiguously contradicted by fine-print provisions in the policy. Contra proferentem and these …

Hegel’S Slaves, Blackstone’S Objects, And Hohfeld’S Ghosts: A Comment On Thomas Russell’S Imagery Of Slave Auctions, Jeanne L. Schroeder Nov 1996

Hegel’S Slaves, Blackstone’S Objects, And Hohfeld’S Ghosts: A Comment On Thomas Russell’S Imagery Of Slave Auctions, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Cardozo Law Review

Thomas Russell's wonderful paper A New Image of the Slave Auction is an example of how the best empirical work can result in conclusions that are so obviously "right" that they risk being mistaken as obvious. His paper serves as an important warning against a recurring problem in legal, as well as other scholarship: Picture thinking-in the sense of an unconscious (and as a result, unquestioning and uncritical) acceptance of familiar, traditional, comfortable imagery-so often blinds us.

States As International Law-Breakers: Discrimination Against Immigrants And Welfare Reform, Elizabeth Landry Oct 1996

States As International Law-Breakers: Discrimination Against Immigrants And Welfare Reform, Elizabeth Landry

Washington Law Review

As part of the current "devolution revolution," policy makers at the state and federal levels are designing proposals that would permit states to discriminate on the basis of immigration status in determining eligibility for public education, medical care, social services, and cash assistance. This Comment asserts that such proposals violate international human rights norms, by which both federal and state governments are bound. Mbreover, it maintains that legislators must consider international law when crafting proposals that would allow discrimination on the basis of alienage. If they fail to do so, courts are obliged to intervene and ensure that treaty provisions …
