State-Interest Analysis And The Channelling Function In Family Law, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

I want to develop some themes I advanced in my article entitled State-Interest Analysis in Fourteenth Amendment "Privacy" Law: An Essay on the Constitutionalization of Social issues. In that article I noted that while courts and commentators have lavished effort on the fundamental-rights side of privacy law, they have scanted the state-interest side, thereby producing crucial weaknesses in that law. I felt that state~interest discussions in privacy cases often seemed to me unsatisfying. This is an attempt to see why. A major difficulty is that states tend to advance and courts tend to accept quite narrow specifications of a statute's …

Stories Versus Theories At The Cardozo Evidence Conference: It’S Just Another Metaphor To Me, L. H. Larue

Cardozo Law Review

Cardozo Law School was host to an evidence conference on March 24-26, 1991. The papers have been published, so the conference has been duly memorialized. However, the conference had a "subtext" that differed from the "text," that is, the theme of the conference, judging from the hallway gossip, differed from the officially proclaimed theme; if one reads the published text carefully, one can see the subtext within the text, the unofficial theme alongside the official theme. I asked the editors of this Review to let me record my evaluation of the unofficial theme, so that it may have equal status …

Southwest Diversified, Inc. V. City Of Brisbane: New Opportunities For Municipalities To Avoid Referendum In Land Use Decisions, Cindy Y. Dobler

San Diego Law Review

In Southwest Diversified, Inc. v. City of Brisbane, the California Court if Appeal held that a city ordinance which changed the zoning of originally designated wildlife habitat to another location within the proposed development was an administrative act and therefore not subject to referendum. Although local citizens groups had collected the requisite signatures to put the ordinance on the ballot for repeal by referendum, the appellate court upheld the lower court's decision ordering the city to desist from holding the election on the issue. The appellate court, narrowly focusing on the perceived intent and wording of a habitat conservation plan, …

Equality And Access To Justice In The Work Of Bertha Wilson, Hester Lessard

Dalhousie Law Journal

Increasingly, Canadians have sought to understand themselves as a community through the language of equality rights. There are several practical and theoretical consequences to this choice of language. One of the practical consequences is that a formal commitment to equality raises public consciousness with regard to material and social disparities and to some extent gives those who are excluded or marginalized at least a rhetorical claim to participation and a share in resources. However, another consequence is that while promoting a rhetoric of respect and individual dignity, equality discourse also places a disproportionate amount of power in the hands of …

The Constituents Of Democracy: The Individual In The Work Of Madame Justice Wilson, Danielle Pinard

Dalhousie Law Journal

I shall attempt to share with you the impression I have of Judge Wilson's conception of the individual. I will try to present a general view of what occurred to me as I went through the opinions she wrote while at the Supreme Court of Canada, alone or with the assent of her colleagues, dissenting or in agreement with the majority.' I shall try to put together, as honestly as possible, what she explicitly said on the subject in question.

The Role Of The Judiciary In The Work Of Madame Justice Wilson, Christine Boyle

Dalhousie Law Journal

My topic is the role of the judiciary in the work of Madame Justice Wilson, but I am going to use a particular focus. I started with the famous lecture "Do Women Judges Really Make a Difference" delivered at Osgoode Hall Law School7 and it helped me think of a question. What is it that women judges might make a difference to? One answer is the law, another is judging itself. These themes were very clear in Madame Justice Wilson's lecture. Another answer, however, is the concept of woman. When women judges make a difference to law, part of what …

Bioethics And The Family: The Cautionary View From Family Law, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

For many years, the field of bioethics has been specially concerned with how the authority to make medical decisions should be allocated between doctor and patient. Today the patient's power-indeed, the patient's right-is widely acknowledged, at least in principle. But this development can hardly be the last word in our thinking about how medical decisions should be made. For one thing, sometimes patients cannot speak for themselves. For another, patients· make medical decisions in contexts that significantly include more participants than just the patient and doctor. Now, as this conference demonstrates, bioethics is beginning to ask what role the patient's …

Mediation And Joke Design: Resolving The Incongruities , John M. Cooley

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The purposes of this Article are: (1) to highlight some of these new discoveries; (2) to discuss their implications for mediators generally, particularly toward achieving super-optimum resolutions of conflict; (3) to explore the relationship of these discoveries to the brain's bilateral functions, creativity, and the process of humor and joke design; (4) to suggest techniques, based on joke design, for altering conflict frames of disputants; and (5) to suggest directions for further experimentation and research. Although the interrelationships among the separate topics presented here may not be immediately discernible, the seeming incongruities will be resolved in Part VIII
