Homologizing Pregnancy And Motherhood: A Consideration Of Abortion, Julia E. Hanigsberg
Homologizing Pregnancy And Motherhood: A Consideration Of Abortion, Julia E. Hanigsberg
Michigan Law Review
In this essay I reconsider abortion in order to bridge what initially seem to be two opposing frameworks: first, the conception of abortion as an issue of women's bodily integrity and liberty, and second, the acknowledgement of the existence and meaning of intrauterine life. The abortion choice is indeed deeply and necessarily tied to women's bodily integrity. I will discuss how taking away women's ability to control their decision not to become mothers can be severely damaging to their very sense of self, for this denial of decisionmaking divides women from their wombs and uses their wombs for a purpose …
Without Distinction: Recognizing Coverage Of Same-Gender Sexual Harassment Under Title Vii, Trish K. Murphy
Without Distinction: Recognizing Coverage Of Same-Gender Sexual Harassment Under Title Vii, Trish K. Murphy
Washington Law Review
Federal court decisions conflict regarding the applicability of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to sexual harassment cases where the alleged harasser and victim are members of the same gender. This Comment examines the courts' treatment of same-gender sexual harassment claims and argues that same-gender sexual harassment claims fall within the purview of Title VII as impermissible discrimination. In reaching this position, this Comment demonstrates that Title VII lacks gender-based limitations. It then argues that no valid justification exists for distinguishing between same-gender sexual harassment and sexual harassment involving members of different genders. Finally, this Comment suggests …
We Can't Go On Together With Suspicious Minds: Judicial Bias And Racialized Perspective In R. V. R.D.S., Richard F. Devlin
We Can't Go On Together With Suspicious Minds: Judicial Bias And Racialized Perspective In R. V. R.D.S., Richard F. Devlin
Dalhousie Law Journal
In recent years it has been recognized that the Canadian judiciary has been drawn from only a relatively small cross section of the community, specifically privileged white males. As a result there have been calls for, and some action in pursuit of, appointment processes that are designed to diversify the bench in order to render it more inclusive. Gender and race are the two primary categories that are invoked as the benchmarks of diversity. While it would appear that numerically there seems to be some very modest progress towards the goal of achieving a more inclusive judiciary, significant qualitative, institutional …

Second Chances: Bill C-72 And The Charter, Isabel Grant
Second Chances: Bill C-72 And The Charter, Isabel Grant
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This paper examines the legislative response to the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in R. v. Daviault. The author argues that Bill C-72, which limits the defence of extreme intoxication, is constitutional because of its strong underpinnings in equality. The author reviews the statistics on violence against women and the role of intoxication in that violence to illustrate why the defence of intoxication raises issues of sex equality. The author argues that a court assessing the constitutionality of Bill C-72 should consider this strong foundation in equality and the fact that the Bill is the result of a careful balancing …

The Dilemma Of Choice: A Feminist Perspective On The Limits Of Freedom Of Contract, Gillian K. Hadfield
The Dilemma Of Choice: A Feminist Perspective On The Limits Of Freedom Of Contract, Gillian K. Hadfield
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
In this essay I explore what Michael Trebilcock's work in The Limits of Freedom of Contract offers feminists in terms of a resolution or transcendance of the dilemma of choice. Trebilcock's work does not address the deepest feminist concerns about conflicts between autonomy and welfare, but it does shed light on narrower versions of the dilemma, providing an analytical framework for the feminist dilemma of choice and emphasizing the pervasiveness of this problem in contract law. Trebilcock's recommendation that society simultaneously use different institutions to promote different values also has salience for the feminist dilemma of choice.

Harris V. Forklift Systems, Inc. Victory Or Defeat?, Laura Hoffman Roppe
San Diego Law Review
This Casenote analyzes the significance and potential effects of the decision in Harris v. Forklift Systems, Inc., a Supreme Court case decided in November 1993. This case promulgates a framework for analysis of "hostile environment" sexual harassment claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The author sets forth the historical backdrop of the case, as well as exploring and comparing the effect of the decision in general with the decision's effect in the Ninth Circuit in particular. The author concludes that the Harris case potentially reduces women's chances of winning sexual harassment claims in the …
