Love V. Superior Court: Mandatory Aids Testing And Prostitution, Karin Zink
Golden Gate University Law Review
The AIDS epidemic has brought one of our most fundamental constitutional rights into sharp focus in California. The relationship between the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures and the government's ability to mandate AIDS testing was the topic of a recent California case, Love v. Superior Court. In a unanimous decision the California Court of Appeal upheld section 1202.6 of the California Penal Code [hereinafter § 1202.6] mandating AIDS testing of persons convicted of soliciting an act of prostitution. The court held that the California law does not violate the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable …

Human Trafficking For Sexual Exploitation At World Sporting Events, Victoria Hayes
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Many members of the international community fear that world sporting events, such as the Olympics and the World Cup, create surges in human trafficking for sexual exploitation, causing women and girls to be exploited for commercial sex while the rest of the world celebrates athleticism and sport.

Left Out In The Cold: Trafficking Victims, Gender, And Misinterpretation Of The Refugee Convention's "Nexus" Requirement, Martina Pomeroy
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
Victims of human trafficking who seek international protection in their country of destination face a steep uphill battle. Special visa programs designed to regularize their status are often riddled with conditions that make them inaccessible to all but a very few victims. Despite widespread international agreement that the manifold harms inflicted upon the majority of trafficked persons generally rise to the level of persecution, and therefore that victims should be eligible to apply for asylum, many national courts misinterpret international refugee law standards and routinely deny refugee status to deserving applicants. Courts often refuse to recognize persecution on the basis …
