A Higher Hurdle: Barriers To Employment For Formerly Incarcerated Women, Marci Seville
A Higher Hurdle: Barriers To Employment For Formerly Incarcerated Women, Marci Seville
Women’s Employment Rights Clinic
This report finds that a criminal record tends to serve as a barrier to employment for women. These realities can potentially impact their ability to successfully reenter their home communities, reunite with and care for their children, and act as viable participants in society. A criminal record adds an additional hurdle to employment for women and increases their vulnerability to discrimination. Research from this study may impact legislation and policies addressing education and professional training, processes to seal and expunge records, employment disparities, employer discrimination, and increased use of unnecessary or inappropriate background screening techniques.

Renaissance Redux? Chastity And Punishment In Italian Rape Law, Rachel A. Van Cleave
Renaissance Redux? Chastity And Punishment In Italian Rape Law, Rachel A. Van Cleave
Publications
This essay examines an Italian sexual assault case that received significant media attention. The Corte d'appello of Cagliari concluded that the defendant was not entitled to a reduced sentence when he was convicted of sexually assaulting his fourteen-year-old stepdaughter. On review, the Third Section of Italy's Corte diCassazione held that the lower court's refusal was erroneous. Cassazione faulted the appellate court for failing to consider that the victim had already engaged in sexual activity with others. This case illustrates how changing rape laws on the books does not always bring about immediate change in attitudes. Indeed, notions of chastity and …
Child Care Funding Sources For California School Districts, California Research Bureau
Child Care Funding Sources For California School Districts, California Research Bureau
California Agencies
School districts represent a large portion of the child care delivery system. They operate a mix of child care centers and programs, serve a range of children of different ages, and fund their programs from a variety of federal, state, and local sources. It is not uncommon that, at different times of the day, and in different classrooms, different regulatory standards apply. State policymakers recognize that school districts, and other providers, face challenges in navigating and weaving together the myriad of federal and state funding streams adding local and private funding sources to the mix - to serve families in …

However, it is against competition law principle for competitors to conspire to fix prices or to …

Integrity And Ethics In Western Adjudicatory Systems : Toward A Standard, Ruth S. Astle
Integrity And Ethics In Western Adjudicatory Systems : Toward A Standard, Ruth S. Astle
Theses and Dissertations
As a global community comes closer to a reality in which there is an international rule of law, a borderless standard of ethics and integrity in adjudication must be developed. Since the beginning of structured adjudication of disputes, ethics and integrity have been an integral part of the process. Even in biblical law, ethics and integrity are emphasized. Now, that many legal disputes, especially in the commercial arena including business and trade disputes, are being adjudicated between and among many different states and individuals from many different states, with many different formal and informal adjudicatory systems, the need for ethics …
Reforming Copyright Law In The Digital Age: A Comparative Study Of The Legal Resolutions On P2p Transmission Between Taiwan And The United States, I-Hsien Chiu
Theses and Dissertations
Adjusting legal system of copyright is vigorously in need in the twenty-first century. The abuse of technology has severely damaged the copyright-related industries not only in Taiwan, but also in the United States. Indeed, the lawsuits filed against modern P2P transmission are fairly unprecedented to courts when facing the tension between copyright holders and technology innovators. Therefore, the technological changes provide an enlightened motivation to develop the analysis on whether the approach that legislators and courts take would harmonize private property rights and public interests. Through the arguments, there are meaningful goals the study attempts to achieve. It is essential …

Mapping Proportionality Review: Still A "Road To Nowhere", Rachel A. Van Cleave
Publications
This article examines how a majority of the Supreme Court went out of its way to vacate a punitive damages award in Philip Morris and further reinforced the inconsistency with which it applies the principle of proportionality. When it comes to punitive damages awards, a majority of Justices continue to convey distrust of juries and of trial and appellate court judges who review these awards. However, when it comes to terms of imprisonment, the Court has eschewed substantive review under the Eighth Amendment while insisting that the Sixth Amendment requires that all facts supporting an increase in a sentence be …
