Equality, Ideology And Oppression: Women And Thecanadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms, N Colleen Sheppard

Dalhousie Law Journal

The major objective of this article is to contribute to an understanding of the potential impact of the equality provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms2 on the lives of women. This requires an awareness of the realities of women's inequality in our society, an understanding of the legal conceptualization of equality, and a consideration of the role of "law" in remedying societal injustice. My focus in this article is on the second concern-that is, on legal theories of equality as they relate to women. I begin with a brief outline of the conflicting ideological approaches that infuse …

Women, Pensions And Equality, Susannah Worth Rowley

Dalhousie Law Journal

A society's values are reflected in its treatment of the elderly. The relationship of the aged to the rest of the population and the social and economic hierarchy within the aged as a group provide tangible and graphic evidence of a society's most fundamental values and attitudes. Who is rewarded and for what? What qualities and contributions are valued, and to what extent?

The Ethics Of Embryo Research: Not As Easy At It Sounds, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

Mark Twain once said of Wagner's music, "It's not as bad as it sounds." Likewise, it may be said of Peter Singer and Helga Kuhse's stroll through the issues involving embryo research: "It's not as easy as it sounds."

Today it seems clear that Aldous Huxley's version of a Brave New World is much closer to the mark than George Orwell's 1984. We will not have to be dragged into a technologically dominated future by a totalitarian government; we will go willingly, cheering almost any change as "better" and accepting science as always "improving" on nature. This childlike faith …

The Invasion Of Sexual Privacy, Ali Khan

San Diego Law Review

This Article critiques the Supreme Court's decision in Bowers v. Hardwick. The author examines the roots of sexual privacy and argues that the Hardwick case presented a simple right to privacy issue, but that the Court twisted the issue into a moral one. As a result, the author concludes that homosexuals were singled out for moral condemnation at the expense of a fundamental liberty.

Text Into Theory: A Literary Approach To The Constitution, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article explores the evolving dialogue between legal scholars and literary theorists, particularly focusing on how judicial opinions can be viewed as narrative fictions. It challenges traditional notions of textual autonomy in legal interpretation, suggesting that meaning is not fixed but is shaped by subjective readings. The analysis critiques the dichotomy between interpretivism and noninterpretivism, arguing that both approaches are inherently subjective. Drawing on historical and structural interpretations of the Constitution, the article advocates for a balanced approach that considers both textual integrity and communal values, emphasizing that constitutional truths are embedded within societal ideas rather than being strictly majoritarian …

Labor Costs And Midterm Work Relocation: Unfair Labor Practice Or Breach Of Contract?—International Union, United Automobile Workers V. National Labor Relations Board, 765 F.2d 175 (D.C. Cir. 1985), Bryan E. Lee

Washington Law Review

In International Union, United Automobile Workers v. National Labor Relations Board (UAW v. NLRB), the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held that it was not an unfair labor practice under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when an employer threatened to relocate certain operations from a union plant to a nonunion plant in order to coerce the union into making midterm wage concessions. Nor was it an unfair labor practice when the employer then carried out the threat to relocate after the union refused to make the wage concessions. The D.C. Circuit decision affirmed …
