Blind Injustice: Seeing Beyond The D.C.Superior Court Exclusion Of Blind Citizens From Jury Duty, Deborah Ann A'Hearn
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
On January 4, 1994, the Cohncil of the District of Columbia (D.C. Council) adopted PR 10-361, the "Sense of the Council on Blind Citizens' Right to Jury Service Resolution of 1993." This Resolution, which supports the United States District Court's decision in Galloway v. Superior Court of the District of Columbia," would afford blind citizens the same privilege and right to serve as jurors that is granted to non-disabled citizens. Currently, D.C. CODE ANN. § 11-1903 (1981)3 prohibits exclusion of citizens from jury service on the basis of physical handicap. Specifically, the Code provides that: [A] citizen of the District …
Congressional Oversight Of Morality: Sodomy Law Reform In The District Of Columbia, Gina M. Smith, Heidi Norton
Congressional Oversight Of Morality: Sodomy Law Reform In The District Of Columbia, Gina M. Smith, Heidi Norton
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
On September 14, 1993, the District of Columbia successfully reformed the sodomy law with which it has been burdened for nearly two centuries. This reform appears at first glance to have been a major victory, not only for the lesbian and gay residents of the District for whom the law represented the greatest threat, but also for proponents of the principles of self-governance. But the road to this victory was a long and difficult one, spanning many decades and testing the outer limits of thd tenets of Home Rule and Congressional oversight of District affairs. This article sets forth the …

Enforcing Corrections-Related Court Orders In The District Of Columbia, Jonatham M. Smith
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
In 1909, a presidential commission made the following comment about the conditions that prevailed in the District of Columbia's jail: That men and women should be sent to these narrow and confined cells, the lazy to be fostered in laziness, the industrious to be deprived of every form of employment, in one promiscuous assembly, to corrupt and be corrupted by each other, to be fed like beasts and maintained at the public charge, with no prospect for improvement in condition, with the moral certainty that they will come out far worse than they went in, is a fact that has …

The District Of Columbia Medical Consent Law: Moving Towards Legal Recognition Of Kinship Caregiving, Randi S. Mandelbaum, Susan L. Waysdorf
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
In 1990, in the District of Columbia, over 27,000 children under the age of eighteen, or 23.4% of all children, were living in the care of an adult other than their parent or a foster parent.3 This was a thirty percent increase from the 1980 data for the District of Columbia.4 Nationally, over the past decade, these figures increased sixteen percent.0 Today, for adult relatives, primarily grandmothers, aunts, and close family friends, who step in to raise the children of their relatives or friends, private kinship caregiving is both a legacy and a matter of survival for the next generation.'

Arbitration Awards In Shaff V. Skahill, Jacob Frumkin
Arbitration Awards In Shaff V. Skahill, Jacob Frumkin
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
In Shaff v. SkahilP the District of Columbia Court of Appeals held that arbitrators' awards may only be reviewed if the moving party alleges a violation of the District of Columbia Uniform Arbitration Act.2 From a policy perspective, this decision may be read as subverting the very objective it purports to support encouraging the use of arbitration.3 In brief, this decision may discourage homeowners from agreeing to arbitrate disputes and appears to penalize those who do. Furthermore, this decision may be read as weakening the Home Improvement Business Act4 by providing a loophole for unlicensed and unbonded de facto contractors. …
