Between Irua And "Female Genital Mutilation" : Feminist Human Rights Discourse And The Cultural Divide, Hope Lewis

Hope Lewis

“Irua,” or female genital surgery (“FGS”), involves the most private aspects of individual female physical and cultural identity. Yet, the health risks caused by FGS raised concern in cultures in which FGS is not traditionally practiced. There has been extensive dialogue regarding the implications of FGS for cross-cultural feminist approaches to human rights. This Article examines the controversy over FGS terminology as it reflects more complex debates over FGS as a violation of international human rights. It further assesses the reasons offered to justify Western feminists’ participation in cross-cultural strides to address FGS through human rights law. In addition, the …

Making Conditions Constitutional By Attaching Them To Welfare: The Dangers Of Selective Contextual Ignorance Of The Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine, Julie Nice

Julie A. Nice

This article examines the lack of judicial consistency in applying the Unconstitutional Conditions doctrine with regard to the same constitutional guarantee but involving different public benefits. Professor Nice posits that the courts frequently apply a lower level of scrutiny when conditions are attached to welfare benefits than when conditions are attached to other types of government benefits. She specifically examines this inconsistency among decisions involving Free Exercise and Takings. She shows that the Supreme Court has reduced its regular level of heightened scrutiny and instead applied Dandridge-style deference to uphold welfare conditions. For example, in a series of free exercises …

Reconsidering Abortion Law: Liberty, Equality And The New Rhetoric Of Planned Parenthood V. Casey, Erin Daly

Erin Daly

Since 1973, the Supreme Court has based the right to abortion on a right to privacy implicit in the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Despite forceful and increasingly frequent arguments that the harm caused by restrictive abortion laws deny equal protection, at least as much as they impinge on personal privacy, the Court has steadfastly refused to consider abortion in this light. In Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, sowed the seeds for a more nuanced understanding of both liberty and equality. Although the lead opinion is so fractured that, as the maze of concurrences …

Contractarians, Communitarians And Agnostics, Alan E. Garfield

Alan E Garfield

This is a review of the Special Issue on the Corporate Stakeholder Debate: The Classical Theory and Its Critics, 43 AM. J. COMP. L. 150 (1995). While I find all of the contributions to the symposium thoughtful and provocative, I ultimately found the arguments weakened by their lack of empirical support. For so many of the questions posed in the symposium, the empirical data needed to furnish answers was either absent or conflicting. This deficiency left the articles seeming artificial: elegant theories floating without an anchor. I finished the symposium neither a converted contractarian nor communitarian, but an agnostic – …

Understanding State Contribution Laws And Their Effect On The Settlement Of Mass Tort Actions, Jean M. Eggen

Jean M. Eggen

A common feature of mass tort litigation involves the situation in which some defendants settle with the plaintiff prior to trial, with the plaintiff proceeding to trial and winning a favorable judgment against the nonsettling defendants. In such situations, most states apply a credit, or set-off, of a certain amount against the plaintiff's recovery to account for the prior settlement. Different set-off rules can yield dramatically different results, in terms of both the plaintiff's recovery and the defendants' liabilities, including the right to seek contribution. The approaches that the states take to these matters are fragmented and inconsistent. This article …
