The Barrier And The Burden: How Flawed Interpretations Of The New Mexico Human Rights Act Have Relegated Disability To Second-Class Status, Ellen Caroline Sherman Rabin

New Mexico Law Review

Plaintiffs alleging disability discrimination under New Mexico law face significantly higher barriers than plaintiffs alleging other types of discrimination. The plain text of the New Mexico Human Rights Act (“NMHRA”) provides equal protections against discrimination based on characteristics such as race, gender, pregnancy, and disability. However, by relying on federal disability law to guide the interpretation of the NMHRA in cases of disability discrimination, New Mexico courts have effectively created a two-tiered system in which claims of disability discrimination face higher barriers to prevail in an administrative adjudication and survive summary judgment than other discrimination claims. This two-tiered system not …

Predicting The Future Past: Human Cognitive Limits And Proximate Cause Determinations In Civil Actions, Dr. Molly Wilson, Helen Webster

New Mexico Law Review

Juror decision-making is inherently influenced by psychological biases, which pose a significant challenge to the fairness and accuracy of proximate cause determinations in tort cases. This Article explores the cognitive and social biases—such as hindsight bias, primacy, anchoring, belief in a just world, and moral outrage—that affect jurors as they engage in the complex reasoning required to assess foreseeability and causation. Given that jurors must disregard their knowledge of actual harm and set aside emotional responses to tragic injuries, the risk of bias is substantial. Traditional jury instructions have proven insufficient in mitigating these effects. As a solution, this Article …

The Road Less Traveled: The Path To A Right Of Intrastate Travel In State Constitutions, Katherine S. Leung

New Mexico Law Review

The existence of a right of intrastate travel implicates basic liberties like visiting parks, driving to visit family in another city, going to church or the doctor, or voting. In addition to its importance to everyday, basic liberties, the right of intrastate travel is important for vulnerable populations, like disaster evacuees, unhoused people subject to displacement, and people seeking abortions in states without uniform availability, like New Mexico. Despite the essential nature of the implicated actions, federal courts do not agree on whether the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of intrastate travel. This comment argues that the right of intrastate …

Maya Fashion And Textile Politics In Guatemala, Dr. Walter E. Little

LAII Events

Contemporary Maya textile production and fashion in Guatemala pushes the boundaries of authenticity, tradition, and what is handmade. New production techniques and shifting economic conditions for Maya women workers challenge notions of what are authentic Mayan textiles, resulting in debates that challenge Mayas gendered and cultural identity positions. Contradictory consumption practices by Mayas further problematize the roles that urban Maya textile entrepreneurs play, as they embrace technological changes in weaving and innovate Maya clothing fashions. Under the guise of economic mobility and fairness, textile entrepreneurs mobilize the labor and opinions of rural artisans, laborers, vendors and middlepersons, and a wide …
