Towards A Relational Conceptualization Of The Right To Personal Autonomy, Yael Braudo-Bahat
Towards A Relational Conceptualization Of The Right To Personal Autonomy, Yael Braudo-Bahat
American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy & the Law
This Article lays the foundation for a relational conceptualization of the right to personal autonomy, where personal autonomy is perceived as a fluid and dynamic competency, which evolves and flourishes through one’s web of relationships. On its face, the more common, liberal conception of personal autonomy seems more fitting for the articulation of the right to personal autonomy, as most Western legal systems are based on liberal grounds. Indeed, several liberal legal scholars have addressed the right to personal autonomy and the state’s duty to promote it. Nonetheless, I show that the liberal conception of autonomy is limited in its …

"Lifting As We Climb": The American Council On Human Rights And The Quest For Civil Rights, Gregory S. Parks
"Lifting As We Climb": The American Council On Human Rights And The Quest For Civil Rights, Gregory S. Parks
American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy & the Law
The narrative of African Americans’ quest for racial equality and social justice in the Twentieth Century is typically construed in the context of main-line civil rights organizations—e.g., NAACP, SCLC, SNCC, and the like. However, for decades, black fraternal networks had been helping to lay the groundwork for the major civil rights campaigns that culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1938 Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated created the National Non-Partisan Lobby on Civil and Democratic Rights (“NPC”), later renamed the National Non-Partisan Council on Public Affairs. It was the first full-time congressional lobby for minority group civil rights. …
A Family Is What You Make It? Legal Recognition And Regulation Of Multiple Parents, Haim Abraham
A Family Is What You Make It? Legal Recognition And Regulation Of Multiple Parents, Haim Abraham
American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy & the Law
Multiparental family structures, in which there are more than two parents, are becoming increasingly common. Thus, they defy the social and legal conception of the nuclear family. Yet, despite the growing number of multiparental families, their legal status in most jurisdictions is not recognized, leaving various issues unaddressed and potentially risking the children’s best interests. This paper examines how the legislatures and courts of California, Canada, and the U.K. recognize and regulate multiparental families. It shows that the treatment of multiparental families varies from non-recognition of any status, through regulation of the multiparental family, to the recognition of the multiparental …
