Sexual Assault And Rape In The Military: The Invisible Victims Of International Gender Crimes At The Front Lines, Stella Cernak

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

In the past several years in particular, intra-military sexual assault and rape in the U.S. armed forces have been the focus of frequent media attention and intense congressional debate. Despite reforms, the rate of intra-military sexual crimes continues to remain high, as does soldiers’ wariness to report instances of sexual violence to military commanders. These problems and others have invigorated the position taken by some that outside judicial review of intra- military sexual crimes is necessary to provide justice to victims and lower the rate of intra-military sexual assault and rape. This Note argues that one of the primary contributors …

L¿Amour For Four: Polygyny, Polyamory, And The State¿S Compelling Economic Interest In Normative Monogamy, Jonathan A. Porter

Emory Law Journal

Some Americans are changing the way they pair up, but others aren¿t satisfied with pairs. In the last few years, while voters, legislatures, and judiciaries have expanded marriage in favor of same-sex couples, some are hoping for expansion in a different dimension. These Americans, instead of concerning themselves with gender restrictions, want to remove numerical restrictions on marriage currently imposed by states. These people call themselves polyamorists, and they are seeking rights for their multiple-partner relationships. Of course, polygamy is nothing new for the human species. Some scientists believe that polygamy is actually the most natural human relationship, and history …

Emerging Issues: The Case Of Maria Teresa Rivera: The Fight For Reproductive Rights In El Salvador, Carisa Hatfield

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

In 2011, Maria Teresa Rivera, then a 27-year-old garment factory worker and single mother of a five-year-old son, was working an afternoon shift when she started bleeding. She left work for home and was found later passed out in the bathroom by her mother who took her to the hospital. There she learned she had suffered a miscarriage from a pregnancy that she did not know about, but instead of being treated and released, the hospital reported Maria to the police for aborting her unborn child. She was handcuffed to her hospital bed while seven police officers surrounded and questioned …

Does The Provision For Irish Prisoners To Keep In Contact With The Outside Environment Require Reform?, Adrian Berski

Reports

The law of the Republic of Ireland provides that prisoners’ maintain rights in order to conduct connections with the outside world. It is important to mention that currently they are 3,747 people in Irish prisons[1]. This population have rights before the law and they shouldn’t be unreasonable deprived of rights or liberties.

The main sources of law, which regulates prisoners’ rights in …

Hands Up, Don't Shoot: Policing, Fatal Force, And Equal Protection In The Age Of Colorblindness, Zach Newman

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

This note discusses race, policing, the use of fatal force, and the Black Lives Matter movement, contextualizing it within the "prison industrial complex," the "New Jim Crow," the hegemony of colorblindness and postracialism, and jurisprudential limitations placed on Equal Protection. It argues that narrow legal reforms of policing, like body cameras or increased training, cannot be conceived of as complete solutions. Although these reforms are important, they must be connected to critiques of and actions against overarching structures of stratification, subordination, and social control in advanced capitalism. Contemporary policing is one manifestation of a deeply flawed and racialized criminal punishment …

Pathologizing The Poor: Implications For Preparing Teachers To Work In High-Poverty Schools, Kerri Ullucci

Education Faculty Publications

The recent economic downturn highlights that poverty continues to be a significant social problem. Mindful of this demographic reality, it is imperative for teacher educators to pay close attention to the manner in which teachers are prepared to educate students from impoverished backgrounds. Given the number of frameworks that offer reductive recommendations for teaching students from impoverished backgrounds, we seek to accomplish two goals with this work: (a) to summarize mythologies about poverty that impact student–teacher relationships and (b) to offer new perspectives on educating students from impoverished backgrounds by providing anchor questions teacher educators can explore with pre-service teachers.

Restructuring Clemency: The Cost Of Ignoring Clemency And A Plan For Renewal, Rachel E. Barkow, Mark Osler

Faculty Articles

The use of the pardon power is a necessary element in a fully functioning system of criminal law. Recent presidents, however, have largely ignored this powerful tool, even as many have sought to expand the power of the office in other ways. This Essay seeks both to describe the costs of this trend and to propose important structural reforms to reverse it. Specifically, we advocate for the creation of a clemency commission with a standing, diverse membership. While this commission should have representation from the DOJ and take the views of prosecutors seriously, the commission itself should exist outside the …

Youth Matters: The Need To Treat Children Like Children, Vincent M. Southerland

Faculty Articles

In 2012, the United States Supreme Court's decisions in Miller v. Alabama and Jackson v. Hobbs marked a sea change in the sentencing of children convicted of serious offenses. Miller ended mandatory life without parole sentences for youth who committed crimes when they were under the age of 18. The Court looked to the fundamental distinction between youth and adults to impose a categorical bar on mandatory life without parole sentences for adolescents. This article surveys the state of juvenile sentencing two decades before Miller emerged. In the early 1990s, racial stereotypes about the perceived typical juvenile criminal transformed the …

The second chapter develops a framework to consider the interplay between discrimination and concealment of minority status in the context of sexual orientation and shows empirical evidence from the United States on the large magnitudes of concealment costs. The third chapter considers …

It uses a relative rate index (RRI) to demonstrate how youth of color are treated in comparison to …

In Solidarity: Collaborations In Lgbtq+ Activism, Lisa M. Tillmann Ph.D., Kathryn L. Norsworthy

Faculty Publications

What follows is a fictional account. Our “characters” bear our real names; the other eight are composites of students we have taught and from whom we have learned; activists with whom we have worked; and staff, faculty, and administrators we have trained in venues such as Safe Zone. We portray our ally (Lisa)-lesbian (Kathryn) relationship this way for two reasons: one, we had not secured permission from real students, colleagues, or community members to represent their lives and experiences, and two, we seek a way to show our partnership, both personal and professional since 2000, in action. To each of …
