Civil, Constitutional And Criminal Justice Responses To Female Partner Abuse: Proposals For Reform, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

Female partner abuse -- the battering inflicted by heterosexual men upon their wives, common-law spouses and intimate partners -- is a pervasive phenomenon in North American society. Through a comparative analysis of the responses to female partner abuse in Buffalo (New York), Toronto and London (Ontario) this paper demonstrates that pro-arrest policing policies have a vital role in curbing conjugal violence. Nevertheless, any truly effective response to female partner abuse must link the criminal justice system with other areas of the law as well as community services. With this interdisciplinary approach as a governing paradigm, several reforms are proposed. These …

Recalibrating The Balance: Reflections On Welfare Reform, Jeffrey Lehman, Sheldon Danziger

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

During the 1992 presidential campaign, Candidate Clinton promised, in Putting People First, "to make work pay" and to "end welfare as we know it":

"It's time to honor and reward people who work hard and play by the rules. That means ending welfare as we know it not by punishing the poor or preaching to them, but by empowering Americans to take care of their children and improve their lives. No one who works full-time and has children at home should be poor anymore. No one who can work should beable to stay on welfare forever."

Cultural Differences And Discrimination: Samoans Before A Public Housing Eviction Board, Richard O. Lempert, Karl Monsma

Articles

In Hawaii Samoans are a stigmatized ethnic group. We examine how this group is treated by a public housing eviction board. Statistical analysis suggests Samoans are discriminated against in financial cases. Interviews indicate, however, that Samoans are disadvantaged largely because their excuses are not persuasive and would not be regardless of the ethnicity of the tenants making them. In this sense Samoans are treated "like any other tenant," and illegal discrimination, as defined by the Four- teenth Amendment, has not occurred. But Samoans make unpersuasive excuses more often than other tenants because excuses that are reasonable in the context of …

The Earned Income Tax Credit As A Tax Expenditure: An Alternative To Traditional Welfare Reform, Timothy J. Eifler

University of Richmond Law Review

Welfare has become a common topic of concern recently as President Clinton and his political adversaries begin battle over the second major element of Clinton's agenda for reform. As a necessary corollary to, and a direct complement of the health care proposal, the welfare system presents the next area that requires reform for a truly effective agenda for change.

The National Probate Court Standards: The Role Of The Courts In Guardianship And Conservatorship Proceedings, Paula Hannaford-Agor, Thomas L. Hafemeister

Faculty Publications

In this article, Ms. Hannaford and Professor Hafemeister confront the issue of who will ensure that the needs of the growing elderly population are met. The authors provide a history and overview of guardianship proceedings and also provide, for the first time, a quantitative description of guardianship usage in the United States. The authors assert that guardianships and conservatorships remain effective ways to pro­tect the rights of the incompetent elderly person. Although these remedies create a legal right in the guardian to manage the financial and medical welfare of the elderly client, the authors argue that a lack of procedural …

Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy: Broadening The Scope Of Child Abuse, Michael T. Flannery

University of Richmond Law Review

In July 1989, five-month-old Ryan Stallings spent two weeks in a hospital after suffering abdominal pains. Ryan was subsequently placed in a foster home when police suspected that he ingested antifreeze while in the care of his mother, twenty-four-year-old Patricia Stallings. Police became suspicious of Patricia because Ryan could not walk and thus was unlikely to ingest antifreeze accidentally. Patricia was allowed to visit Ryan once every week while he remained in foster care under the supervision of the Missouri Division of Family Services. Shortly after her visit on August 31, 1989, Ryan was readmitted to the hospital with symptoms …

The Effect Of Transaction Costs On The Market For Babies, Margaret F. Brinig

Journal Articles

Among the more controversial ideas advanced by prominent United States Circuit Court Judge and law professor Richard Posner is his suggestion that a market in babies would rectify many of the problems of the adoption system. His concept has, to say the least, provoked a tremendous reaction in various segments of American society. His critics proclaimed that sales of children would serve to demean the children and their mothers, relegating them to the status of mere commodities. Unscrupulous but wealthy parents might purchase children solely to abuse them. "Baby-selling" became a code word for the foolish extreme to which its …

Are Women Worth As Much As Men?: Employment Inequities, Gender Roles, And Public Policy, Kathryn Branch

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

Gender inequities in employment are apparent in many different contexts and have numerous components. The most quantifiable measure is a comparison between the relative earnings of men and women. A related measure is the distribution by gender across occupational lines and the average relative salaries of jobs that tend to be predominantly occupied by workers of one gender. All available statistics show that men earn significantly more than women. 1 This remains true no matter what year the figures are from, or whether they are weighted according to age, labor force status, or educational attainment. 2 If financial compensation for …

If Anybody Asks You Who I Am: An Outsider's Story Of The Duty To Establish Paternity, Lisa Kelly

Articles

This story is fictional but true. There is no one particular Minerva Copeland, James Walker, or Judge Jennings. Lake Village and Helena also are intended to be fictional places. I chose a format using endnotes instead of footnotes in an effort not to disrupt the flow of the narrative. The endnotes, however, are an integral part of this article and serve to provide the reader with the background necessary to understand the legal and social context in which this piece operates.
