Family Law And Gay And Lesbian Family Issues In The Twentieth Century, Nancy Polikoff, David Chambers Jan 1999

Family Law And Gay And Lesbian Family Issues In The Twentieth Century, Nancy Polikoff, David Chambers

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Over the past thirty years, lesbians and gay men have increasingly challenged conventional definitions of marriage and the family. In this brief article, the authors tell the story of gay people and family law in the United States across this period. They divide their discussion into two sections: issues regarding the recognition of the same-sex couple relationship and issues regarding gay men and lesbians as parents. These issues overlap, of course, but since family law discussions commonly treat adult-adult issues of all sorts separately from parent-child issues, the authors believe it convenient and helpful to do so as well.

Precedent-Setting Ngo Campaign Saves The World Bank's Inspection Panel, Daniel D. Bradlow

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This article, after describing the stakes in the ongoing debate about the operating procedures of the World Bank's Inspection Panel (Panel), explains the causes of this controversy. Thereafter it discusses the evolution of the pro­posal of the Working Group of the Bank's Board of Directors to correct the problems in the Panel's operating procedures. It suggests that, if the Board has the political will to adopt it, the final proposal of the Working Group has the potential to create a Panel procedure that is effective, independent, and impartial. The reason for this possibility is that the Bank, in an innovative …

Managed Health Care In Prisons As Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Ira Robbins

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

INTRODUCTION: Billy Roberts, a prisoner in an Alabama state prison, had a history of severe psychiatric disorders. He was often put on suicide watch, and received large doses of psychotropic drugs.
