Gender Identity, Citizenship And State Recognition, Siddharth Narrain Jan 2012

Gender Identity, Citizenship And State Recognition, Siddharth Narrain

Socio-Legal Review

State recognition of gender identity claims in Karnataka has been in the form of administrative measures. Identity documents have become a crucial terrain where these identities are being contested, and citizenship claims are being made. These developments have given use to a range of debates around the methods of identification of gender minorities and how inclusive the process of state recognition can be. This piece attempts to outline some of these contemporary concerns, both in terms of policy and the law.

Staffing And Recruiting Considerations For Financial Education Programs (Chapter Three Of Student Financial Literacy), Ryan E. Halley, Dorothy B. Durband, Sonya L. Britt Jan 2012

Staffing And Recruiting Considerations For Financial Education Programs (Chapter Three Of Student Financial Literacy), Ryan E. Halley, Dorothy B. Durband, Sonya L. Britt

Faculty Publications - College of Business

A financial education program is only as good as the people who staff it. In order to get the right people on staff, careful attention must be paid to the strategy and execution of recruiting and hiring. Underlying the strategy is the determination of which staff positions are needed and how the roles will be defined. Various questions need to be addressed, such as: What financial resources are available? What types of services is the program planning to offer? What is the level of counselor content expertise? What is the type and size of facility where counseling will take place? …


An Examination Of The Law, Or Lack Thereof, In Refugee And Displacement Camps, Kelsey Kofford Jan 2012

An Examination Of The Law, Or Lack Thereof, In Refugee And Displacement Camps, Kelsey Kofford

UC Law SF International Law Review

When people envision refugee and displacement camps, rarely do they conjure up images or symbols of justice. There are no courthouses, no judges, no attorney offices, and no actual law enforcement in their virtual depictions - and with good reason. In reality, there is little to no access to justice in camplife. Refugee and displacement camps are essentially lawless. This Note endeavors to answer why there is no legal infrastructure in camps by examining the rise of the camp model, the law on the books versus the law in action in camps, and some on-the-ground problems that occur and inhibit …

Advancing Transgender Civil Rights And Equality In New York: The Need For Genda, New York Civil Liberties Union, Lincoln Square Legal Services, Inc. Jan 2012

Advancing Transgender Civil Rights And Equality In New York: The Need For Genda, New York Civil Liberties Union, Lincoln Square Legal Services, Inc.

Policy and Legislative Advocacy Clinic

Currently, no statewide law in New York explicitly prohibits discrimination against people whose appearance or identity does not conform to gender stereotypes. This means that people who are fired from their jobs, denied housing and services, and mistreated in the workplace, in stores and in restaurants merely because of their appearance or gender identity do not have clear legal protection. The Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) would fix this problem by adding gender identity and gender expression to the categories currently included in New York State’s antidiscrimination laws, such as sex, sexual orientation, race, religion and disability. This report explains …


Beyond The First Amendment: Shaping The Contours Of Commercial Speech In Video Games, Virtual Worlds And Social Media, Jon M. Garon Jan 2012

Beyond The First Amendment: Shaping The Contours Of Commercial Speech In Video Games, Virtual Worlds And Social Media, Jon M. Garon

Faculty Scholarship

In Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association (2011), the Supreme Court stated unequivocally that video games are entitled to the same broad First Amendment protections as those afforded to other media. But just as laws and regulations distinguish newspaper, magazine and television content from the advertising sold in those media, new policies are required to distinguish the communicative content of video games, virtual worlds and social media from the advertising and commercial purpose activity conducted in those media. Particularly in the area of publicity rights, states and courts have struggled to delineate those contours. This article outlines the emerging contours of …

Who's Missing? Women With Disabilities In U.N. Security Council Resolution 1325 National Action Plans, Stephanie Ortoleva, Esq.

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Despite progress made through a series of United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), beginning with the groundbreaking UNSCR 1325 in 2000,' to give women a place at the table in post-conflict peace building and reconciliation, women with disabilities are missing and ignored and have not had a role in these processes.

Revisiting Maine’S Lobster Commons: Rescaling Political Subjects, Jennifer F. Brewer Jan 2012

Revisiting Maine’S Lobster Commons: Rescaling Political Subjects, Jennifer F. Brewer

Geography

Calls for cross-scalar theoretical and methodological approaches are not new to commons scholarship. Such efforts might be hastened by channelling poststructuralist and critical theory perspectives through the geographic subfield of political ecology, including attention to political scales and subjects. Toward this end, this paper reconsiders Maine’s lobster fishery. This case has provided rich material for watershed commons scholarship, demonstrating the ability of social groups to conserve resources independent of government or markets, and it continues to offer new findings. Recent fieldwork shows that as lobster boat captains advance collective interests through state-supported co-management governance arrangements, concerns of crew and non-fishing …
