Medicalizing Gender: How The Legal And Medical Professions Shaped Women’S Experiences As Lawyers, Kathleen Darcy May 2015

Medicalizing Gender: How The Legal And Medical Professions Shaped Women’S Experiences As Lawyers, Kathleen Darcy

Tennessee Journal of Race, Gender, & Social Justice

Despite significant progress, women in the legal profession still

have not advanced into positions of power at near the rate in which

they saturate the legal market. Scholars agree that simply waiting for

parity is not sufficient, and, thus, they have identified many of the

barriers that contribute to women’s difficulties. To date, however, the

role that scientific and medical understandings play on the evolution of

law, and on women as lawyers, has not received examination until

now. To this end, I posit that medicine played a significant role in

shaping societal expectations and assumptions about gender, and was

similarly …

Daimler And The Jurisdictional Triskelion, Zoe Niesel Jan 2015

Daimler And The Jurisdictional Triskelion, Zoe Niesel

Tennessee Law Review

Twice in the past three years, in Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations, S.A. v. Brown and Daimler AG v. Bauman, the Supreme Court articulated a new landscape of general personal jurisdiction; namely, exercises of dispute-blind jurisdiction will be based on a determination of whether a corporation is "at home" in the jurisdiction, not on whether the corporation had continuous and systematic contacts in the forum state. The Court's test was further explained in terms of three different fora: where the corporation is incorporated, where it maintains its principal place of business, and where there are unique circumstances suggesting that the corporation …

Sentencing Rules And Standards: How We Decide Criminal Punishment, Jacob Schuman Jan 2015

Sentencing Rules And Standards: How We Decide Criminal Punishment, Jacob Schuman

Tennessee Law Review

Over the past 300 years, American sentencing policy has alternated between "determinate" and "indeterminate" systems of deciding punishment. Debates over sentence determinacy have so far focused on three main questions: Who should decide punishment? What makes punishment fair? Why should we punish wrongdoers at all?

In this Article, I ask a new, fourth question: How should we decide punishment? First, I demonstrate that determinate sentencing uses rules to decide sentences, while indeterminate sentencing relies on standards. Next, I show how the trigger-based nature of rules-in contrast to the qualitative character of standards-makes them vulnerable to four different kinds of substantive …


Addressing Racial Disparities In Preschool Suspension And Expulsion Rates, Amy B. Cyphert Jan 2015

Addressing Racial Disparities In Preschool Suspension And Expulsion Rates, Amy B. Cyphert

Tennessee Law Review

In 2014, the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights published data for the first time that tracked preschool suspension and expulsion rates. The data was startling: not only were preschoolers being suspended and expelled, something that surprised many readers on its own, they were being suspended and expelled in racially disproportionate numbers, with African-American boys bearing the brunt of the discipline. Politicians, researchers and advocates quickly spoke out, noting that these numbers confirmed that the school to prison pipeline really starts in preschool, and calling for reform.

In this Article, I explore some of the policies and practices that …

A Theory Of Shareholder Activism And Its Place In Corporate Law, Bernard S. Sharfman Jan 2015

A Theory Of Shareholder Activism And Its Place In Corporate Law, Bernard S. Sharfman

Tennessee Law Review

Offensive shareholder activism (more commonly known as hedge fund activism) can be understood as a corrective mechanism in the governance of a public company. The legitimacy of offensive shareholder activism as a corrective mechanism is based on numerous empirical studies that have found this type of activism to be both wealth enhancing for shareholders and performance enhancing for the target companies. A non-empirical argument can also be made in support of offensive shareholder activism that focuses on the ability of the board of directors to act as an impartial arbitrator deciding between the advices provided by executive management and the …
