Gender Inequality In Contracts Casebooks: Representations Of Women In The Contracts Curriculum, Deborah Zalesne
Gender Inequality In Contracts Casebooks: Representations Of Women In The Contracts Curriculum, Deborah Zalesne
FIU Law Review
Gender has always explicitly or implicitly played a critical role in contracting and in contracts opinions—from the early nineteenth century, when married women lacked the legal capacity altogether to contract, through the next century, when women gained the right to contract but continued to lack bargaining power and to be disadvantaged in the bargaining process in many cases, to today, when women are present in greater numbers in business and commerce, but face continued, yet less overt, obstacles. Typical casebooks provide ample offerings for discussions of the ways in which parties can be and have been disadvantaged because of their …

Beyond The Glass Ceiling: Panes Of Equity Partnership, Rachel Arnow-Richman
Beyond The Glass Ceiling: Panes Of Equity Partnership, Rachel Arnow-Richman
FIU Law Review
This Article, prepared for a “micro-symposium” on Professor Kerri Stone’s monograph Panes of the Glass Ceiling (2022), explores the partnership pay gap in large law firms and the role of high-profile litigation in facilitating pay equity. There is a rich literature and extensive data on the gender attainment gap in elite law firms, particularly with regard to women’s attrition from practice and poor representation within the partnership ranks. Less attention has been paid to the way in which the exceptional women who achieve equity partner status continue to lag behind their male peers. This Article explores “Women v. BigLaw,” a …

Antidiscrimination Efforts And The Repressive Weight Of Culture, Matthew T. Bodie
FIU Law Review
ChatGPT In "Very Important People: Status and Beauty in the Global Party Circuit," sociologist Ashley Mears unveils the opulent world of the ultra-rich party scene, where young women, primarily models, serve as ornamental capital to enhance social status.

Stone emphasizes cultural norms and expectations perpetuating male privilege, challenging the efficacy of existing legal frameworks. Proposing a shift from anti-classification to an anti-subordination principle, Stone advocates for direct interventions, citing legislative efforts targeting pay inequality and mandating …

Shattering Stereotypes, Stephanie Bornstein
FIU Law Review
Amidst the paradoxical landscape of gender progress and regression, this article explores the intricate intersection of recent legal developments and persistent gender disparities.

Professor Kerri Stone's seminal work, "Panes of the Glass Ceiling," illuminates pervasive gender stereotypes shaping workplace dynamics. Beyond examining stereotyping's legal implications, Stone reveals the "unspoken beliefs" manifesting as distinct "panes" of the glass ceiling. This analysis delves into each pane, underscoring the evolving challenges facing women in contemporary workplaces and offering a …
Transition-Denial And Structural Adjustment: Causation And Culpability In The Cuban Economy, José Gabilondo
Transition-Denial And Structural Adjustment: Causation And Culpability In The Cuban Economy, José Gabilondo
FIU Law Review
In 2020, Cuba implemented the Tarea Ordenamiento (Tarea), the most significant economic reform since the construction of the socialist economy after the Revolution. Signaling an eclectic brand of Cuban socialism, the Tarea clears away three decades of tried and failed economic doctrines, drawing a new fiscal border around state enterprises, nodding to market realities, and preparing the island for greater insertion into the world economy. While the political economy of post-Castro Cuba has changed in this way, the United States continues to subject the island to an unprecedented program of unilateral sanctions, universally condemned as a breach of human rights, …
Baby Steps: Why The Florida Supreme Court’S New Parental Leave Continuance Rule Reinvigorates The Fmla’S Underlying Gender Equity Goals Within The Legal Profession And Why More States Should Follow Suit, Katie B. Miesner
FIU Law Review
Although women are enrolling in law school and joining the legal profession in significant numbers, law firms are struggling to retain female lawyers. This poses a significant challenge to achieving gender equity at the highest levels of the legal profession, prompting several important questions: Why are women leaving the profession early; what policies or changes should be implemented to address this problem; and who is best suited to lead these efforts? One of the main reasons women leave the profession early is due to their disproportionate caregiving responsibilities. In response, both public and private measures have been introduced to address …
