Living By The Sword: The Free Exercise Of Religion And The Sikh Struggle For The Right To Carry A Kirpan, Rishi S. Bagga
Living By The Sword: The Free Exercise Of Religion And The Sikh Struggle For The Right To Carry A Kirpan, Rishi S. Bagga
ExpressO
Sikhism is a 500 year old religion with a growing presence in the United States. However, one of the articles of faith required for Sikhs, a kirpan (a ceremonial sword), conflicts with the norms of American life for these often misunderstood people. This paper gives a brief primer on Sikhism and discusses some of the day-to-day problems and recent issues facing kirpan-carrying Sikhs in North America. Upon reviewing the current state of free exercise jurisprudence as applied to the kirpan, I outline several suggestions for the acceptance and accommodation of kirpans.
Vouchers For Sectarian Schools After Zelman: Will The First Circuit Expose Anti-Catholic Bigotry In The Massachusetts Constitution?, Richard Fossey, Robert Leblanc
Vouchers For Sectarian Schools After Zelman: Will The First Circuit Expose Anti-Catholic Bigotry In The Massachusetts Constitution?, Richard Fossey, Robert Leblanc
ExpressO
In Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that an Ohio voucher program for Cleveland school children does not violate the Establishment Clause even though the program allows participation by sectarian schools. Within days after the Supreme Court released its decision, many of public education’s advocacy groups publicly expressed disappointment in Zelman’s outcome.
Although Zelman settled federal constitutional questions about vouchers, voucher opponents continued fighting in the courts. Much of this post-Zelman litigation involved arguments about the legality of various state constitutional bans against public aid for sectarian education. Scholars have shown that some of these state constitutional provisions—the …

“A Modest Proposal”: Universal Cesarean Section To Reduce Professional Liability Costs, James A. Greenberg, Katherine E. Economy, Andrew W. Beckwith, Jeffrey L. Ecker
ExpressO
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To model the effect of universal cesarean delivery on professional liability costs.
STUDY DESIGN: We examined all obstetric professional liability claims covered by a single insurer between January 1, 1990 and December 31, 2000. We reviewed each case to determine if an alternate route of delivery might reasonably have prevented the lawsuit. Costs were calculated by adding the cost of processing the claim, the legal defense, the settlement payments and/or the actuarially derived adjustments. Using a 20% cesarean rate as our baseline, we modeled the effect on liability costs of cesarean delivery in all patients.
RESULTS: There were …

Is Capital Punishment Immoral Even If It Does Deter Murder?, Thomas Kleven
Is Capital Punishment Immoral Even If It Does Deter Murder?, Thomas Kleven
ExpressO
After years of inconclusive debate, recent studies purport to demonstrate that capital punishment does indeed deter murder, perhaps to the tune of multiple saved lives for each person executed. In response to these studies, Professors Sunstein and Vermeule have argued that since capital punishment leads to a net savings of innocent lives, it may be morally required on consequentialist grounds. I argue, even assuming the validity of the studies, that capital punishment cannot be justified in the United States in the current historical context for reasons of justice that trump consequentialist considerations. Mine is not an argument that capital punishment …
