Thinking Win-Win: Boosting Profitability Through Gender-Balanced Flex-Time, Gabriela Steier Aug 2013

Thinking Win-Win: Boosting Profitability Through Gender-Balanced Flex-Time, Gabriela Steier

Gabriela Steier

Setting working mothers free from the gridlock of inflexible “all-or-nothing” workplaces1 can unleash the tremendous potential of female leadership qualities and create win-win2 situations for both employers and employees. When human resources managers create such win-win situations, they can boost efficiency, productivity, profitability, and ultimately increase their company’s bottom line. The key to this strategy consists of attracting and maintaining female talent in the market by implementing mother-friendlier time management. This article analyses the business case for women in terms of gender-balanced leadership, and evaluates flex-time block-schedules as a corporate management strategy to achieve the goals of boosting the bottom …

The Wto's Blind Spot: Dispute Resolution In The International Food Industry, Gabriela Steier Apr 2013

The Wto's Blind Spot: Dispute Resolution In The International Food Industry, Gabriela Steier

Gabriela Steier

This paper analyzes the importance of the WTO’s role and its dispute resolution process within the international food trade system based on a discussion of the WTO’s dispute resolution of American genetically modified (GM) crops that were forced into the European market. In order for public policy and economic aspects to coexist in the legally binding decisions that originate from the WTO dispute resolution process, the panels should acknowledge their protective function toward the trading partners on the one hand, and the public and the global ecologic sustainability on the other. The resulting precedent, in turn, would induce behavioral changes …


Womenomics For Nursing Growth: Making The Case For Work Time Flexibility And Mother-Friendlier Workplaces, Gabriela Steier Jan 2013

Womenomics For Nursing Growth: Making The Case For Work Time Flexibility And Mother-Friendlier Workplaces, Gabriela Steier

Gabriela Steier

Gender bias at work often coerces breastfeeding working mothers to choose between their baby or their job. The forced choice between private and work life irreconcilably separates motherhood from a woman’s career, giving rise to the Mommy Wage Gap and the Maternal Wall. Consequently, the separation of work and family life has negative impacts on both the mother and her child. These negative impacts also bear on public health and the economy on a large scale. The more unaccommodating workplaces are, the stricter the separation between work and family life and the more permanent the choice a working mother has …


Cibus, Lex, Commercium: Food Law And Plantenomics In World Trade, Gabriela Steier Jan 2013

Cibus, Lex, Commercium: Food Law And Plantenomics In World Trade, Gabriela Steier

Gabriela Steier

Large food producers in some of the most-powerful trading nations attain so much influence through international trade and outsourcing, that they become leaders in corporate governance and the World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only international body capable of regulating the international trade that feeds globalization. This paper analyzes the importance of the WTO’s role and its dispute resolution process within the international food trade system based on a discussion of corporate governance in the food industry and the Cartagena Protocol. Important examples discussed in this paper are the WTO’s dispute resolution of American genetically modified (GM) crops that were …


Dead People Don’T Eat: Food Governmentenomics And Conflicts-Of-Interest In The Usda And Fda, Gabriela Steier Jan 2013

Dead People Don’T Eat: Food Governmentenomics And Conflicts-Of-Interest In The Usda And Fda, Gabriela Steier

Gabriela Steier

Conflicts of interest permeate the governance of the federal advisory committees that issue recommendations to consumer protection agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and, therefore, American consumers need a federal solution to protect their health from biased recommendations. In order to promote a business-friendly food pyramid, agribusinesses and food industrialists lobby for dietary guidelines to adapt the dietary guidelines illustrated by the food pyramid to boos their sales. The resulting guidelines cause great damage to public health, environmental pollution, and loss of democratic freedoms. As a result, the FDA …


Bridge Banks: Detox Tools For A Melted Economy, Gabriela Steier Jan 2012

Bridge Banks: Detox Tools For A Melted Economy, Gabriela Steier

Gabriela Steier

This paper compares the fragmented three-pillar banking system in Germany to the banking system in the U.S. and suggests an amendment to 12 U.S.C.A. § 1821(n), the bridge bank statute, to make some fragmentation of the financial sector in the U.S. possible. This paper is the first of its kind and explains why the German bad bank prototype works within the fragmented three-pillars of banking. The three pillars of banking in Germany are (1) Savings Banks (Sparkassen), (2) Private Commercial Banks (Kreditbanken, Genossenschaftsbanken), and (3) Public and Cooperative Credit Institutions (Volks- and Raiffeisenbanken). The resulting fragmented banking system is more …

Rape, Affirmative Consent To Sex, And Sexual Autonomy: Introduction To The Symposium, Jane Moriarty Jan 2008

Rape, Affirmative Consent To Sex, And Sexual Autonomy: Introduction To The Symposium, Jane Moriarty

Jane Campbell Moriarty

We may have moved in the West toward a standard in which “no means no” has the force of criminal law behind it. But are we ready for a standard in which only “yes means yes?” And if so, getting to yes may be a winding path to follow. The concept of consent, some of the symposium authors note, is a far more complicated inquiry than many appreciate. Consider the Eliot quotation above: is it consensual if his exploring hands encounter no defense? Is indifference sufficient to establish consent and if not, should his act be considered criminal rather than …

“Misconvictions,” Science And The Ministers Of Justice, Jane Campbell Moriarty Jan 2007

“Misconvictions,” Science And The Ministers Of Justice, Jane Campbell Moriarty

Jane Campbell Moriarty

DNA evidence has exonerated over two hundred wrongfully convicted defendants in the last several years, providing insights into the causes of such convictions. One such cause, faulty scientific evidence, is a focus of this article. For decades, many have written about the prevalence of and reasons for wrongful convictions --what I have termed “misconvictions.” A few reasons support the coinage “misconvictions”: the miscarriage of justice when an innocent person is convicted; the mistakes involved in the prosecution and trial of the case; the mistaken identification that may have occurred; and finally, the recognition that all wrongful convictions are a missed …
