Divinity Vs. Discrimination: Curtailing The Divine Reach Of Church Authority, Whitney Ellenby
Divinity Vs. Discrimination: Curtailing The Divine Reach Of Church Authority, Whitney Ellenby
Golden Gate University Law Review
Church authority to practice gender discrimination in employment decisions represents the collision of principles of religious liberty on one hand, and the need to eradicate invidious discrimination on the other. In order to secure the free exercise of religion, the First Amendment prohibits legislation which interferes with or significantly abridges religious belief or conduct. To the extent that employment decisions represent the extension of religious belief, churches have a strong claim of immunity from judicial review of their decisions. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 thus exempts religious entities from civil liability when their discriminatory conduct is …
Judicial Indifference To Pornography's Harm: American Booksellers V. Hudnut, Penelope Seator
Judicial Indifference To Pornography's Harm: American Booksellers V. Hudnut, Penelope Seator
Golden Gate University Law Review
This paper will evaluate the opinions of the district court and the Seventh Circuit that held that an Indianapolis ordinance violated the first amendment, with particular attention to the courts' treatment of the demonstrated harms of pornography (II). The paper argues that pornography is a practice of discrimination through which women are subordinated on the basis of sex (III). When pornography is understood in the context of social reality, it is seen as a practice of sex discrimination, just as racial segregation is understood as a practice of race discrimination when it and its meaning are seen in the context …

Contingent Equal Protection: Reaching For Equality After Ricci And Pics, Jennifer S. Hendricks
Contingent Equal Protection: Reaching For Equality After Ricci And Pics, Jennifer S. Hendricks
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This Article uses the term contingent equal protection to describe the constitutional analysis that applies to a range of governmental efforts to ameliorate race and sex hierarchies. "Contingent" refers to the fact that the equal protection analysis is contingent upon the existence of structural, de facto inequality. Contingent equal protection cases include those that involve explicit race and sex classifications, facially neutral efforts to reduce inequality, and accommodation of sex differences to promote equality. Uniting all three kinds of cases under a single conceptual umbrella reveals the implications that developments in one area can have for the other two.

Informe En Derecho Presentado Ante El Tribunal Constitucional En El Proceso De Inconstitucionalidad Del Artículo 38ter De La Ley 18.933, Pablo Contreras, Gonzalo García, Tomás Jordán, Alvaro Villanueva
Pablo Contreras
El informe afirma la inconstitucionalidad del artículo 38 ter de la Ley No 18.933 en base a tres principales argumentos. En primer lugar, vulneraría el principio y garantía de reserva legal de los derechos fundamentales, puesto que hace recaer la regulación de los precios de los planes de las ISAPRES en las instrucciones generales dictadas por la Superintendencia de ISAPRES. En segundo lugar, la tabla de factores de riesgos, consagrada en dicho artículo, vulnera el principio de igualdad al establecer una diferenciación no justificada en razón de las condiciones de sexo y edad. Finalmente, afecta la libertad del cotizante de …

The Supreme Court's decision in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District #1 has been extensively analyzed as the latest step in the Court's long struggle with the desegregation of public schools. This Article examines the decision's implications for the full range of equal protection doctrine dealing with benign or remedial race and sex classifications. Parents Involved revealed a sharp division on the Court over whether government may consciously try to promote substantive equality. In the past, such efforts have been subject to an equal protection analysis that allows race-conscious or sex-conscious state action, contingent on existing, de …
