Judicial Reasoning And Social Change, David A. Dittfurth

Faculty Articles

Some have begun to doubt whether courts adequately respond to recent social problems. Formulated rules, principles, and statutes govern a case in court, and these commanding communications addressed to judges theoretically guide and control the decision-making process. Rules, although often imprecise, are subjected to the scrutiny of the legal profession, which is trained to interpret their meaning and possible application in different fact situations. This, in turn, promotes a high degree of social and political stability since there is less ambiguity as to what constitutes permissible or required behavior.

Attitudes, social institutions, language, and critical decision making are all factors …

Lead-Based Paint Poisoning: Remedies For The Hud Low-Income Homeowner When Neglect Is No Longer Benign, Thomas P. Sarb

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Lead-based paint poisoning is a completely preventable disease which particularly afflicts young children living in deteriorating areas of the cities. It is caused by the ingestion of paint chips containing significant amounts of lead that have fallen or been picked off ceilings, floors, and woodwork of older houses. Repeated ingestion of such paint chips can lead to mental retardation, permanent impairment of intellectual ability, cerebral palsy, and blindness. Every year at least 400,000 children show some effect of lead poisoning; 50,000 of them need treatment; and 200 children die of the disease. The early symptoms of lead poisoning are changes …

Placement Of Children In Religiously Affiliated Foster Care Held Not Violative Of Establishment Clause Where State Acts In Loco Parentis To Meet Free Excercise Rights Of Children. Wilder V. Sugarman, 385 F. Supp. 1013 (S.D.N.Y. 1974) (Per Curiam)., Richard F. Nacchio

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The New York State Constitution provides for the assignment of foster children to "an institution or agency governed by persons, or in the custody of a person, of the same religious persuasion as the child." It likewise empowers the state to reimburse foster care institutions for the expense of caring for the children. Plaintiffs, six children for whom guardians were appointed, sought a declaratory judgment that provisions of the New York State Constitution and statutes implementing these constitutional provisions violate the first, eighth, and fourteenth amendments of the United States Constitution. Defendants were public agencies and officials responsible for the …

Constitutional Law- Sixth Amendment- Systematic Exclusion Of Women From Jury Service Violates The Sixth And Fourteenth Amendments. Taylor V. Louisiana, 95 S. Ct. 692 (1975)., Kenneth J. Mulvey Jr.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Appellant, a male, was convicted in a Louisiana state court of aggravated kidnapping. Prior to his trial, he had moved to quash the petit jury venire on the ground that women had been systematically excluded from it. Under the Louisiana Constitution and criminal procedure statutes, a woman could not be selected for jury service unless she had filed a written declaration with the court clerk of her desire to serve on a jury. The trial court denied appellant's motion. The Supreme Court of Louisiana affirmed, determining that the statutory provisions were "neither irrational nor discriminatory"' and thus did not violate …

Artificial Insemination - A Model Statute, Leonard G. Kamlet

Cleveland State Law Review

The increasing incidence of artificial inseminations in the fifties and sixties resulted in a profusion of commentary devoted to the significance of the procedure. Characteristic of the motivations of many writers were the moral, psychological, and social implications of the technique. In contrast, the creative legal response was limited. Paralleling the stagnation of judicial and legislative action in most states, the number of commentators addressing the issue in recent years has been minimal. This comment hopes to focus the attention of legislators on the need to clarify the morass surrounding artificial insemination.

Federal And State Regulations Pertaining To Systematic Collections. I. A Case Of Inadvertent Violation Of Federal Regulations, Jerry R. Choate, Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

On 25 April 1975, at the twenty-second annual meeting of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists (SWAN), at the University of Oklahoma Biological Station, President Keith A. Arnold appointed Jerry Choate to investigate current regulations pertaining to collection and transport of scientific specimens in the region of representation (including Mexico) or SWAN. This charge involves both Federal and State laws, several of which are undergoing change and many of which doubtlessly are not familiar to the membership of SWAN. In order that SWAN members might be made aware of these regulations and not unwittingly commit violations, it was decided that SWANEWS …

Whose Needy Children?, David L. Bazelon

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

As an appellate judge for twenty-five years, the author has been confronted daily with cases involving what we call "behavior problems." As a judge, he can tell you it is a distressing task to sift daily through the records detailing the wreckage of human lives. He does not speak only of criminal cases. He also refers to child abuse and neglect cases, welfare eligibility cases, civil commitment cases, and many others.

Family Law-Putative Father Denied Custody Under Restrictive Interpretation Of His Rights

University of Richmond Law Review

Under the common law, the illegitimate child was deemed nullius filius, no man's son. However, our courts have gradually granted the illegitimate substantially the same rights as those afforded the legitimate child. Unlike the child, the putative father, who originally was free from any obligation to his offspring, has encountered the same duties as the father of a legitimate child notwithstanding the fact that he is afforded few of the parental rights.

Equal Protection Or Equal Denial: Is It Time For Racial Minorities, The Poor, Women, And Other Opressed People To Regroup?, Inez Smith Reid

Hofstra Law Review

The suspect classification approach as it pertains to women, racial minorities, and the poor will be analyzed first in order to determine what gains, if any, have been achieved and lost via this route. Then the utility of an equal protection-fundamental rights approach which may accent more concerns common to women, minorities, the poor, and other oppressed peoples will be examined. Finally, the value of a "sliding-scale" route to equal protection issues as a route which might permit the oppressed to present a more reasoned equal protection package to the Court, and simultaneously make it more uncomfortable for the Supreme …

Geduldig V. Aiello, John D. Nagy

Hofstra Law Review

The ramifications of the Court's reasoning in Geduldig v. Aiello are clear upon an equally cursory analysis. Taken literally, the decision means that classification or discrimination based on pregnancy is not sex discrimination. Since such discrimination is not sex discrimination, an aggrieved woman cannot even raise a Title VII claim since the applicable statute deals with "sex" discrimination, not "pregnancy" discrimination. One court has already so held. But it is questionable whether the Aiello decision must be taken so literally as to deny Title VII relief to women discriminated against because they are pregnant. This note will examine Aiello's assumption …

From Plato's Preconceptions To Dewey's Instrumentalism: The Philosophical Bases Of Legal Empiricism, Thomas P. Dugan

Hofstra Law Review

It is perhaps a truism to state that philosophy has been a catalyst of legal development, but the relation between the two evades precise conceptualization. The relationship becomes more understandable, however, if the legal task is viewed as a microcosm of the total human endeavor, in terms of its goals and methodology. The initial proposition of this paper is that as philosophical developments modify the theoretical construct of human existence, a correlative change occurs within the law.

Intervention Between Parent And Child: A Reappraisal Of The State’S Role In Child Neglect And Abuse Cases, Judith C. Areen

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Once a court agrees that it has sufficient cause to assume jurisdiction in order to protect a child, there is a high probability that the child will be separated from his family for months or years, or permanently. Despite the disruptive impact this process obviously can have on children and their families, at present there is little consensus about when a court should find that a particular child is neglected or abused. And just as there is little agreement on when intervention in a particular family is justified, there is little agreement about what forms of intervention are constructive.
