Blind Injustice: Seeing Beyond The D.C.Superior Court Exclusion Of Blind Citizens From Jury Duty, Deborah Ann A'Hearn
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
On January 4, 1994, the Cohncil of the District of Columbia (D.C. Council) adopted PR 10-361, the "Sense of the Council on Blind Citizens' Right to Jury Service Resolution of 1993." This Resolution, which supports the United States District Court's decision in Galloway v. Superior Court of the District of Columbia," would afford blind citizens the same privilege and right to serve as jurors that is granted to non-disabled citizens. Currently, D.C. CODE ANN. § 11-1903 (1981)3 prohibits exclusion of citizens from jury service on the basis of physical handicap. Specifically, the Code provides that: [A] citizen of the District …

Congressional Oversight Of Morality: Sodomy Law Reform In The District Of Columbia, Gina M. Smith, Heidi Norton
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
On September 14, 1993, the District of Columbia successfully reformed the sodomy law with which it has been burdened for nearly two centuries. This reform appears at first glance to have been a major victory, not only for the lesbian and gay residents of the District for whom the law represented the greatest threat, but also for proponents of the principles of self-governance. But the road to this victory was a long and difficult one, spanning many decades and testing the outer limits of thd tenets of Home Rule and Congressional oversight of District affairs. This article sets forth the …

The District Of Columbia Medical Consent Law: Moving Towards Legal Recognition Of Kinship Caregiving, Randi S. Mandelbaum, Susan L. Waysdorf
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
In 1990, in the District of Columbia, over 27,000 children under the age of eighteen, or 23.4% of all children, were living in the care of an adult other than their parent or a foster parent.3 This was a thirty percent increase from the 1980 data for the District of Columbia.4 Nationally, over the past decade, these figures increased sixteen percent.0 Today, for adult relatives, primarily grandmothers, aunts, and close family friends, who step in to raise the children of their relatives or friends, private kinship caregiving is both a legacy and a matter of survival for the next generation.'

The War On Poverty: A Civilian Perspective, Edgar S. Cahn, Jean C. Cahn
The War On Poverty: A Civilian Perspective, Edgar S. Cahn, Jean C. Cahn
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
This article does two things: it articulates a vision and it lays out a specific blueprint. The core of the vision regards legal representation as "a form of enfranchisement, as an attempt to institutionalize the functions of dissent and criticism, and as a means of revitalizing the democratic process." This explains why the article triggered a movement that was perceived as going beyond the orthodox delivery of legal aid. While others legislate or purport to breath life into the democratic process, lawyers, in their unique role as advocates, discharge a constitutionally protected role. And in light of the retaliation to …

Civil Rico Under Fire: Will White Collar Criminals Be Exempted?, Mark P. Cohen
Antioch Law Journal
On October 3, 1985, representatives of a coalition of over twenty public interest and consumer groups' marched in front of the Washington, D.C. law offices of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering 2 holding aloft a banner reading "Corporate Criminals Must Pay" and chanting "Put your clients away, let RICO stay." Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering was singled out as the spearhead of the business lobby seeking, in the coalition's view, to vitiate the effective civil provisions of the "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act" ("RICO"),3 in particular, its treble damage remedy. The goal of RICO, set out in the "Statement of Findings …
Nuclear Whistleblower Protection And The Scope Of Protected Activity Under Section 210 Of The Energy Reorganization Act, Stephen M. Kohn, Thomas Carpenter
Nuclear Whistleblower Protection And The Scope Of Protected Activity Under Section 210 Of The Energy Reorganization Act, Stephen M. Kohn, Thomas Carpenter
Antioch Law Journal
In 1978 Congress amended the Energy Reorganization Act in order to protect whistleblowers - employees who disclose potential violations of nuclear health and safety laws - from retaliation by their employers. 1 Since passage of the nuclear whistleblower protection amendment, the circuit courts of appeals are divided over the issue of what constitutes protected activity.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held in 1984 that an employee must contact a "competent organ of government" to be protected. 2 The U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Ninth and Tenth Circuits have disagreed, and have held that employees who disclose …

An Overview Of Federal And State Whistleblower Protections, Stephen M. Kohn, Michael D. Kohn
Antioch Law Journal
The protection of employee whistleblowers is a controversial and developing area within employment discrimination law. There is no comprehensive law which prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who disclose potential corporate or governmental violations of law, or practices which may violate environmental standards or threaten the health and safety of employees and the public. Instead, over the past twenty-five years there has been a steady growth in common law and specific statutory protections for employee whistleblowers. This article is an introduction to the major statutory and common law provisions which concern whistleblower protection. It is not intended to present a …

Equal Access To Justice Act, Sidney B. Jacoby
Antioch Law Journal
The new statute entitled the Equal Access to Justice Act 1 (hereinafter Act) is of great importance because it provides, on a three year experimental basis, for the award of possibly large attorneys' fees and other expenses to private parties of modest means in successful civil actions against the government, its agencies or officials. The Act, however, is specifically not applicable in tort actions. 2 The new Act entitles certain private parties prevailing in government litigation to recover attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and other expenses against the United States, unless the government action was "substantially justified" or "special circumstances …
