Brief Amicus Curiae Of The Bruderhof, Clear, Muslim Advocates, And The Sikh Coalition In Support Of Appellant, Stephanie Hall Barclay, Francesca Matozzo

Court Briefs

No. 22-2342
Thomas Walker v. John Baldwin

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division, Honorable Iain D. Johnston (3:19-cv-50233)

From the Summary of the Argument

The Seventh Circuit should re-examine its precedent to allow for monetary damages for individual capacity suits under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) for three reasons. First, RLUIPA’s text follows the same approach as 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and should be interpreted to afford the same types of broad remedies. Before Employment Division of Oregon v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990), reduced the …

Pro Bono Award Recipients Honored, James Owsley Boyd

Keep Up With the Latest News from the Law School (blog)

Pro Bono Awards were presented to three Indiana Law students and a local attorney Wednesday (October 26) in a jointly sponsored ceremony hosted by the Law School, its Access to Justice Fellows, and Faegre Drinker.

“Becoming a lawyer is not just a privilege, it’s also a responsibility,” said Dean Christiana Ochoa. “And that special responsibility of being a lawyer includes serving our communities in whatever ways we’re able to. The students we recognize today have gone above and beyond in their service, and we as a school and as a local community are so grateful for their efforts.”

On Decolonization: Scattered Speculations On The Indian University, Atreyee Majumder

Popular Media

Universities are like good headphones, the noise-cancelling ones that consistently drown out the turbulent world outside its boundary walls. Universities have taught me to read, think, argue, imagine, and most importantly, write. Universities have also been sites of disappointment, disillusionment, and agony. Universities have also consistently generated employment, horizons of aspiration, a growing collection of books and bookshelves, varied range of intellectual friends and collaborators and nemeses among the dead and the living, and finally, an entry point to a cosmopolitan, bourgeois life for me. The university is now a space that I consider home. In this essay, I will …

Building Coalitions To Support Indigenous Language Speakers During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Erika Hernández Cuevas, Laura J. Gonzales

Journal of Rhetoric, Professional Communication, and Globalization

While the work of language access is ongoing and has been taking place for a long time in various contexts, language access efforts often ignore Indigenous communities. As such, more interventions are needed to recognize how health-related messaging needs to be adapted not only across languages, but across worldviews. In this article, a technical communication scholar and Spanish-English translator and a Chinateco-Spanish translator, interpreter, and activist from the Municipio de San Pedro Yolox discuss their work to foster language access during the COVID-19 pandemic for and with Indigenous language speakers in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico, and Gainesville, Florida, USA.

The Amazing Carrie Menkel-Meadow And What Wins When Passions Collide, Lela Porter Love

Texas A&M Law Review

Carrie Menkel-Meadow (sometimes referred to as “Carrie” herein) is famous in the dispute resolution world as one of the field’s founders. Her prolific writing on dispute resolution—negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and the variants of these major processes—evidences an unrivaled passion for the subject. A renaissance thinker, her intellectual explorations also extend to other areas such as women’s rights and restorative justice for victims of egregious wrongs.

Her multiple passions sometimes create dynamic tensions. For example, what happens if mediation norms threaten a woman’s rights? Or if mediators divert the focus of a dispute resolution process to the future, neglecting a horrific …

Choices: The Many Routes To Justice And Peace With Dispute Resolution, Ethics, And Feminism, Carrie Menkel-Meadow

Texas A&M Law Review

As Yogi Berra once said, “When you come to a fork in the road. . . . take it[!]” Our lives present us all with choices—personal and professional. My professional life has been filled with efforts to create more choices of process and ethical and political commitments to seek a more just world. I began as a poverty and civil rights lawyer and sought effective and creative ways to solve problems, notably when court-based solutions were too “brittle” and binary and did not solve the underlying problem. I have looked at legal problem solving through the lens of interdisciplinary approaches …

It’S In The “Telling” (By Asking): A Passover Analogy To Explain The Enduring Foundational Nature Of Carrie Menkel-Meadow’S Dispute Resolution Scholarship, James R. Coben

Texas A&M Law Review

One true measure of whether ideas are “foundational” is whether they will resonate with future generations. Judaism, one of the world’s oldest religions, offers an annual ritual—the Passover Seder—that exemplifies success in passing down foundational ideas. That ritual, among other things, posits that to tell an enduring story, it must be told in ways that inspire many different kinds of people—with widely disparate motivations, perspectives, and abilities—to engage with, relate to, and understand the story. This Essay asserts that Carrie Menkel-Meadow’s dispute resolution scholarship is very much a successful “telling” with many characteristics remarkably similar to the Passover Seder. And …

Pluralistic Professionalisms: Religious Identity, Excluded Voice, And A Toolkit For The Periphery, Swethaa S. Ballakrishnen

Texas A&M Law Review

Assimilation of new entrants into the legal profession has been a signature strain of Carrie Menkel-Meadow’s research. Even if the empirical particularities have since evolved, her pathbreaking research on women lawyers and gendered lawyering processes remain prime examples of socio-legal work on lawyers with important theoretical extensions. For example, in Portia in a Different Voice, her now classic piece from 1985, Menkel-Meadow analyzes how numbers alone are insufficient indicia of feminization within the legal profession. Beyond the description of the state of the legal profession at the time of writing, her argument that we should pay attention to what lawyers …

Mediation: Means Of Achieving Real Justice In Consumer Disputes, A. K. Sikri Justice

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

Access to Justice is basic to human rights. The right to justice is fundamental to the rule of law and so ‘we, the people of India’ have made social justice an inalienable claim on the state, entitling the humblest human to legal literacy and fundamental rights and their enforcement a forensic reality, however powerful the hostile forces be…Declarations and proclamations, resolutions and legislations remain a mirage unless there is an infrastructure which can be set in locomotion to prevent or punish a wrong and to make legal right an inexpensively enforceable human right. Injustices are many, deprivation victimizes the weaker …

Role Of Universities In Consumer Online Mediation, Ashok R. Patil Dr., Pratima Narayan Research Scholar

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

The mediation movement has developed from a mere private business to being an integral part of the judicial structure. While the judiciary has embraced the process of mediation through court-annexed and court-referred mediations, private mediations are largely held by business organisations, consumer associations, nonprofit bodies, governmental agencies and international organisations. Law Schools across the world have also been active participants in supporting and encouraging mediation as an alternate to dispute resolution. Online mediation has emerged as a technology equivalent to the traditional mediation mechanisms. The article brings forth the role played by universities in the development and application of mediation …

Intersectionality And Impact Of Covid19: Politics Of The Private Sphere And Gender-Based Violence, Sabah Hussain

The Journal of International Relations, Peace Studies, and Development

One of the primary contradictions in the administration of power consists of inequalities between women and men. The attitudes, behaviours, and roles which societies prescribe as congruous for the construction of ‘gender’ can be the consequence, the root, and structure of power relations, involving the very intimate domain of the domestic to the utmost levels of the political sphere and decision-making. As the COVID-19 crisis deepens economic and social strain combined with social isolation measures and constricted movement, the instances of gender-based violence also started to rise exponentially. Many women were being forced to 'lockdown' in the domestic setting with …

Advising The Victim Of Domestic Violence, Kristen Clarke Kellems, Kristen Kellems

Faculty Publications

This presentation provides Utah attorneys and advocates with a practical framework for advising people experiencing domestic violence. It explains how criminal, protective-order, divorce, custody, housing, financial, juvenile, and immigration matters may overlap, often leaving clients overwhelmed and uncertain about what each court can accomplish. The presenters emphasize client autonomy, safe communication, realistic expectations, and coordination with victim advocates and community resources. Through case hypotheticals, the presentation examines civil and criminal protective orders, restraining orders, court safety planning, custody and parent-time concerns, documentation, communication between parents, social media, supervised visitation, and the risk that litigation may become another means of control. …
