The Homosexual Law And Policy In The Military: "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue, Don't Harass" . . . Don't Be Absurd!, Debra A. Luker
The Homosexual Law And Policy In The Military: "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue, Don't Harass" . . . Don't Be Absurd!, Debra A. Luker
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
The violent murder of Army Private First Class Barry Winchell, a suspected homosexual, is a gruesome example of how the military does not tolerate homosexuals. The military’s current homosexual policy – referred to as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Pursue, Don’t Harass – is ineffective. The policy creates an atmosphere of intolerance that leads to discrimination among homosexual service members, and this discrimination often has violent ends. This comment analyzes the ways other countries implement policies for their homosexual service members, and also offers proposals to improve the current homosexual policy in the United States. The author discusses how the …

Low Bono Legal Counsel: Closing The Access To Justice Gap By Providing The Middle Class With Affordable Attorneys., Steven A. Krieger
Low Bono Legal Counsel: Closing The Access To Justice Gap By Providing The Middle Class With Affordable Attorneys., Steven A. Krieger
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
The middle class is often underserved when it comes to retaining legal services. Individuals at or below poverty level qualify for pro bono services, and the wealthy have the resources to pay. Federal funding for free legal assistance is distributed by the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). Unfortunately for the middle class, funds are limited and are used primarily for pro bono services. Funding from Congress is unlikely to increase because the allocation of funds is dependent on the federal poverty guidelines. Relying on the federal guidelines is erroneous because the guidelines have not been updated since the 1960s, and therefore …
Education And Its Discontents: The Decriminalization Of Truancy And The School-To-Prison Pipeline In Texas., Steven E. Gilmore
Education And Its Discontents: The Decriminalization Of Truancy And The School-To-Prison Pipeline In Texas., Steven E. Gilmore
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
The Texas Legislature ended the longstanding criminalization of truancy violations in Texas schools. With the passage of House Bill (H.B.) 2398, the manner in which the courts, school districts, and the Texas Education Agency (TEA) are expected to handle truant students has been greatly altered. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen what material effect these new measures will have on Texas schools, students, and their families. In order to understand the extent to which the new laws and regulations may affect the lives of students and their parents, it is important to examine the material consequences of the school-to-prison pipeline …
The Police-Community Partnership: Civilian Oversight As An Evaluation Tool For Community Policing., Nathan Witkin
The Police-Community Partnership: Civilian Oversight As An Evaluation Tool For Community Policing., Nathan Witkin
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Citizen review boards (CRBs) tend to act as unofficial criminal courts for police misconduct. Without the binding, legal powers of the court, these civilian oversight bodies are often ineffective and draw resistance from law enforcement. “Community policing,” or community-oriented policing (COP) is a law enforcement strategy that emphasizes the use of problem-solving skills through community engagement and partnerships, but performance through arrests/citation statistics only. Without a process to evaluate public relations skills, the COP strategy encourages officers to reduce distance between them and the community while retaining a crime-fighting focus—a dynamic that increases tension and violence between police and crime-prone …
No Un Jurado De Mis Pares: Juror Exclusion Of Limited English Proficient Speakers., Michael Mccann
No Un Jurado De Mis Pares: Juror Exclusion Of Limited English Proficient Speakers., Michael Mccann
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
In the context of fulfilling civic duties as a citizen, accessibility to language assistance programs ensures every individual, including those with limited English proficiency (LEP), is afforded the opportunity to exercise their fundamental rights. Preservation of the integrity of the justice system must be provided in a comprehensive manner, not merely in one part of the legal proceedings or isolated to one part of the courthouse. LEP citizens should be integrated in public society, not disqualified from it. Statutes that create overly burdensome language proficiency standards create problems with the jury selection process. These standards limit and often deny LEP …
The Repercussions Of Concussions In Youth Football Leagues: An Analysis Of Texas’S Concussion Law And Why Reform Is Necessary., Taylor Adams
The Repercussions Of Concussions In Youth Football Leagues: An Analysis Of Texas’S Concussion Law And Why Reform Is Necessary., Taylor Adams
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Texas’s state concussion law, known as Natasha’s Law, does not reflect a comprehensive safety standard that affords protection to athletes of every age and at every level of play. Because uniform concussion standards fall outside the purview of the federal government, the responsibility is left to Texas to implement, amend, and regulate laws on youth athletic competitions. Natasha’s Law implements an immediate removal policy from practice or a game when a student-athlete exhibits signs of a concussion. Nonetheless, Natasha’s law falls short because it limits coverage to only school sponsored practices, competitions and interscholastic activity, and negates coverage for recreational …

The Texas Supreme Court Retreats From Protecting Texas Students, Albert Kauffman
The Texas Supreme Court Retreats From Protecting Texas Students, Albert Kauffman
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
This Article criticizes the 2016 Texas Supreme Court school finance decision, the latest of seven decisions starting in 1989, for its disregard of both the record in the case and the realities of the Texas Constitution and Texas politics. The Article also focuses on how standards for reviewing legislation have changed and the Texas Supreme Court's irrational and unfounded retreat to the "money doesn't make a difference" theory of school finance. Finally, the Article recommends a return to an objective, comprehensible, enforceable and constitutional system of review, and concludes with a prayer for holdings that recognize the inequities of the …
