Title Ii Of The Violence Against Women Act, Bernadette E. Hill Apr 1996

Title Ii Of The Violence Against Women Act, Bernadette E. Hill

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

In 1994 Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act. This thesis focuses on Title II which gives remedies to gender motivated crimes at the federal level. Title III received a lot of criticism due to a variety of reasons. This thesis looks at the question of if Title III is an appropriate way of addressing the problem of violence against women, if criticisms of Title II warranted? What revisions should be made?


The Martinsville Seven: Virginia's Most Controversial Court Case, 1949 - 1951, Michael Dean Plemmons Apr 1996

The Martinsville Seven: Virginia's Most Controversial Court Case, 1949 - 1951, Michael Dean Plemmons

History Theses & Dissertations

In January, 1949 seven black youths were arrested and charged with brutally beating and raping a white woman in Martinsville, Virginia. The judicial process lasted over two years and gained national and international attention. The defendants were ultimately found guilty and sentenced to death for their ruthless crime. The conviction came as no surprise. The evidence was overwhelming, but the verdict created controversy. Some claimed the youths were victims of Jim Crowism while others believed the punishment was just.

This study explores the events of the case and determines why Martinsville was unique given patterns of racial unrest throughout the …

Habermas And The Counterfactual Imagination, Michael K. Power Mar 1996

Habermas And The Counterfactual Imagination, Michael K. Power

Cardozo Law Review

The epistemological problem of critical theories is easy to state but hard to resolve. On the one hand, if the theories are too descriptive and draw their conceptual resources from the ideas and institutions which currently exist, they lose their critical force. While they may provide elaborate reconstructions of the structure of social practices, they remain internal to these practices, part of a field of knowledge in which, at worst, theory is merely a form of public relations. On the other hand, if they articulate forms of critique that are entirely external to the systems of knowledge and practice that …


Can Rights, Democracy, And Justice Be Reconciled Through Discourse Theory? Reflections On Habermas’S Proceduralist Paradigm Of Law, Michel Rosenfeld Mar 1996

Can Rights, Democracy, And Justice Be Reconciled Through Discourse Theory? Reflections On Habermas’S Proceduralist Paradigm Of Law, Michel Rosenfeld

Cardozo Law Review

There are different images or paradigms of law which correspond to different conceptions of justice and different sources of legitimacy. Moreover, in the context of complex, pluralistic contemporary societies, the relationship between law, justice, and legitimacy has become acutely problematic as competing conceptions of the good cast legal relationships as relationships among strangers, and as justice according to law seems irretrievably split from justice against or beyond law. In the face of these difficulties, one could simply abandon the quest for justice beyond law and settle for a combination of democracy and legal positivism which would reduce political legitimacy to …


Law And Philosophy: Some Consequences For The Law Deriving From The Sociological Reconstruction Of Philosophical Theory, Mark Gould Mar 1996

Law And Philosophy: Some Consequences For The Law Deriving From The Sociological Reconstruction Of Philosophical Theory, Mark Gould

Cardozo Law Review

Jurgen Habermas wants to provide a (quasi) transcendental grounding for democracy. He believes that the constituent attribute of Homo Sapiens is ordinary speech and that embedded in speech is a set of "validity claims" that are redeemable-asymptotically-only in an ideal speech situation. This ideal serves as a regulative fiction for our everyday world of social institutions. While it may not actually be present in institutional form, it serves as a ground for the normative critique of the actual social world in which we live.


Habermas And The Postal Rule, Peter Goodrich Mar 1996

Habermas And The Postal Rule, Peter Goodrich

Cardozo Law Review

It seems somewhat churlish at the end of so much discussion, at the terminus of the circulation of so extensive a commentary and critical appraisal of a single text, to offer further doubts, to intimate certain additional, and worse, extraneous criticisms of Jurgen's contribution to jurisprudence. Nonetheless, there is a tangible theme of misunderstanding, noncomprehension, and failed communication that has accompanied the debate in this conference and can act as the proximate emblem of the following intervention. This essay will simply suggest that there is little in Habermas's study of legal discourse and of the conditions under which the rule …


Law And Undecidability: A New Vision Of The Proceduralization Of Law, Jacques Lenoble Mar 1996

Law And Undecidability: A New Vision Of The Proceduralization Of Law, Jacques Lenoble

Cardozo Law Review

As a leading citizen of the Age of Reason, Pierre Simon Laplace liked to remark that there never could have been two Isaac Newtons for there was but a single world to be discovered. Laplace's aphorism neatly captured a fundamental assumption that has underlain the classical unity of science and reason under modernity. Today, in the wake of challenges posed by intellectual developments such as unstable systems and chaotic structures, the classical presupposition of a stable, objective, and physical world that serves as the horizon of scientific knowledge has begun to teeter. New cracks in the grand edifice of modem …

Women And Politics In Japan: Flowers Of The Home To Flowers Of Politics, Sarah Ann Langer Jan 1996

Women And Politics In Japan: Flowers Of The Home To Flowers Of Politics, Sarah Ann Langer

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

The study of women and politics in Japan provided many insights into women's activism as well as the changes women have brought in Japanese politics. Facing considerable odds when seeking positions within contemporary politics, women candidates often faced a variety of disadvantages as well. A man was assumed to inherit politics, but a woman was not. However, if a woman could conquer or ignore such societal pressures, she could then enter the world of politics. Women's positions will change as individual pioneers (such as the four I examined i.e. Tsuda Ume, Ichikawa Fusae, Yosano Akiko, Tanaka Makiko) work their way …

Religious Accommodation And The National Labor Relations Act, Roberto L. Corrada Jan 1996

Religious Accommodation And The National Labor Relations Act, Roberto L. Corrada

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

This Article argues for amending the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") to require employers and unions to accommodate a broader array of employee and third party religious beliefs. By detailing the experiences of several religious adherents, the Article seeks to demonstrate that current statutory and constitutional doctrines fail to adequately protect religious freedom.

After identifying numerous conflicts between the NLRA and religious exercises, the Article explains why a legislative accommodation for religion is appropriate given the long-standing history in United States labor law of accommodating various secular interests (e.g. federalism and free speech) that may conflict with optimal labor policy. …
