Menstrual Dignity And The Bar Exam, Marcy L. Karin, Margaret E. Johnson, Elizabeth B. Cooper
Menstrual Dignity And The Bar Exam, Marcy L. Karin, Margaret E. Johnson, Elizabeth B. Cooper
Faculty Scholarship
This Article examines the issue of menstruation and the administration of the bar exam. Although such problems are not new, over the summer and fall of 2020, test takers and commentators took to social media to critique state board of law examiners’ (“BOLE”) policies regarding menstruation. These problems persist. Menstruators worry that if they unexpectedly bleed during the exam, they may not have access to appropriately sized and constructed menstrual products or may be prohibited from accessing the bathroom. Personal products that are permitted often must be carried in a clear, plastic bag. Some express privacy concerns that the see-through …

Employer-Based Training Programs For Tanf Recipients: A Public Policy Examination, Nan S. Ellis
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The article begins by stating that several programs have been introduced with the goal of lowering the amount of people that live below the poverty level.

The article's goal is to …

The Urban Crisis And The Federal Government's Retreat: Catalyzing Public Policy Choices To Save Our Cities, David R. Jones
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Sections of our cities have been abandoned to a host of poverty-related social ills whose causes have as much to do with the state of the national and regional economies, structural changes in the job market, and political decision-making as they have to do with individual life-histories and personal misfortune. Bleak outcomes are not inevitable and can be reversed by understanding why faulty policy options were adopted and what it will take to formulate new policies. This essay argues for the need of proactive solutions like in combating our urban povery problem by using, (1) a "Marshall Plan" for cities, …

And finally, an action sounding in negligence for breach of statutory duty. Each avenue is explored in detail in terms of the likelihood of success. Importantly, the comment recognizes the inherent difficult of pursuing any education malpractice claim.

Book Review: The Roots Of Urban Discontent: Public Policy, Municipal Institutions, And The Ghetto, John Muller
Book Review: The Roots Of Urban Discontent: Public Policy, Municipal Institutions, And The Ghetto, John Muller
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The Roots of Urban Discontent extends significantly the analysis of opinion and attitude surveys undertaken pursuant to the National Advisory Commission's mandate. It is a major addition to the literature comparing urban institutions in American cities; it is also a significant contribution to the study of interactions between urban political and civic leaders and the black population and between blacks and "street-level" agents of selected public service-providing and commercial institutions in American cities in the later 1960s.
