Decriminalizing Prostitution: Liberation Or Dehumanization?, Carlin Meyer

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that criminalizing prostitution perpetuates the exploitation and marginalization of women, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The author advocates for decriminalization as a necessary step towards empowering sex workers, highlighting how current legal frameworks fail to protect them and instead exacerbate their vulnerability. The thesis emphasizes the need for systemic change to address the societal structures that drive women into prostitution.

Battered Women: A Perspective On Injustice, Michael Dowd

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the historical and legal challenges faced by battered women, particularly in the context of self-defense claims. It traces the roots of spousal abuse to early social and religious norms that subjugated women, leading to a legacy of systemic injustice. The traditional self-defense doctrine, based on an assumption of equal physical confrontation, often fails to protect battered women, forcing them to rely on mental disease defenses. Expert testimony on battered woman syndrome has gained recognition, aiding some women who kill their abusers, but its impact varies. The article critiques the legal system's inadequate support for battered women, emphasizing …

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 …

Dilemmas Of Justice, Stephen J. Schulhofer, Michel Rosenfeld

Articles

The Hungarian Constitutional Court's decision to invalidate a retroactivity law aimed at prosecuting crimes committed during the prior regime highlights a tension between rule-of-law principles and demands for retributive justice. The court ruled that extending or reopening statutes of limitations violated constitutional guarantees of legal certainty, non-retroactivity, and the protection of rights previously conferred. The decision underscores the court's commitment to an expansive interpretation of constitutional rights, emphasizing the importance of predictable and foreseeable legal consequences. While the ruling prioritizes rule-of-law values, it leaves unresolved the question of how to address past injustices in post-totalitarian societies.

An Emerging Conception Of Fundamental Rights In Contemporary Russia, Mary Holland

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article explores the emergence of a new conception of fundamental rights in post-Soviet Russia, marking a significant shift from a totalitarian regime to a more democratic, rule-of-law-based system. This transformation is evident through the adoption of key legal documents: the Declaration of Rights and Freedoms, the Conception of Judicial Reform, and the Law on the Constitutional Court. These reforms reflect a rejection of the Soviet legal tradition, alignment with international human rights standards, and a re-emergence of pre-revolutionary Russian legal ideals. The article argues that these developments signify a fundamental change in the Russian legal framework, emphasizing individual rights …

The Fall And Rise Of The Criminal Contingent Fee, Peter Lushing

Articles

The article argues that the ban on contingent fees for criminal defense attorneys, established by the American Bar Association in 1969, is outdated and should be repealed. It contends that the ban is rooted in historical prejudice and unfounded concerns about conflicts of interest, rather than empirical evidence. The author suggests that the Supreme Court's 1989 decision implicitly approving contingent fees in certain criminal cases presents an opportunity to reconsider this prohibition. Repealing the ban could benefit middle-class defendants and allow for regulation and data collection to address potential issues.
