Who's Black, Who's White, And Who Cares: Reconceptualizing The United States Definition Of Race And Racial Classifications, Luther Wright, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

How much would it be worth to a young man entering upon the practice of law, to be regarded as a white man rather than a colored one?... Probably most white persons if given a choice, would prefer death to life in the United States as a colored person.... Indeed, [being white] is the master-key that unlocks the golden door of opportunity.

There is no law of the United States, or of the state of Louisiana defining the limits of race-who are white and who are "colored'? By what rule then shall any tribunal be guided in determining racial character? …

Ideology Between Fiction And Fantasy, Slavoj Zizek

Cardozo Law Review

In his movie version of Franz Kafka's The Trial, Orson Welles accomplished an exemplary anti-obscurantist operation by way of reinterpreting the place and the function of the famous parable on "the door of the Law." In the film, we hear it twice: at the very beginning, it serves as a kind of prologue, read and accompanied by (faked) ancient engravings projected from lantern-slides; then, shortly before the end, it is told to Josef K., not by the priest (as in the novel), but by K.'s lawyer (played by Welles himself) who unexpectedly joins the priest and K. in the …

The Robinson-Patman Act Sections 2(D) And 2(E): Promotional Allowances And The Per Se Rule Of Illegality, Julian Chung

Cardozo Law Review

The Robinson-Patman Act (the "Act"), as part of the antitrust laws, was designed to prevent direct and indirect price discrimination. Specifically, the Act prohibits price discrimination through the use of certain types of discounts granted by sellers to select customers. Sections 2(d) and 2(e) of the Act attempt to further this prohibition by expressly regulating promotional allowances and services. Although Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") enforcement of the sections has declined, private litigation under sections 2(d) and 2(e) of the Robinson-Patman Act has recently been revived. Three recent suits involving the compact disc ("CD") market exemplify this trend. Retailers of CDs …

Domestic Partnership: Recognition And Responsibility, Raymond C. O'Brien

San Diego Law Review

time of this Article, partnerships had conferred benefits only: both business and political. This author argues that domestic partnerships should also include responsibilities of support, commitment and obligation within the economic partnership construct of emerging family law. The author concludes that this inclusion of responsibility in domestic partnerships by homosexual couples would lend credence to due process arguments of both equality and substance.

Environmental Justice And Discriminatory Siting: Risk-Based Representation And Equitable Compensation, Bradford Mank

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

This Article proposes a new risk-based approach to representing and compensating not only minorities but any person affected by a siting decision. This proposal would create a formal mechanism for achieving the desire of many environmental justice advocates to empower those local residents most affected by a siting decision. The EPA or state siting agencies, however, would provide a technocratic framework for assessing the scope of risks, despite the limitations of risk and cost-benefit analysis; would set limits on the maximum amount of risk in any community; and would specify the minimum compensation required from a developer. Immediate neighbors, political …

Report On The Consultation With The Maritime School Of Social Work Community, Dianne Pothier

Dianne Pothier Collection

In my assessment there is a genuine and strong commitment to affirmative action and anti-racism at the MSSW. But that in itself is only the beginning. Real cross cultural understanding is a major challenge, and needs to be constantly worked at. In the process, mistakes will be made on all sides. Allowances need to be made for that. The School looks at itself compared to other institutions; critics look at the School compared to an ideal world. Neither perspective holds the complete truth. The MSSW needs to continue to work at the effectiveness of its affirmative action program, defining that …
