True Lies: The Role Of Pretext Evidence Under Batson V. Kentucky In The Wake Of St. Mary's Honor Center V. Hicks, David A. Sutphen
True Lies: The Role Of Pretext Evidence Under Batson V. Kentucky In The Wake Of St. Mary's Honor Center V. Hicks, David A. Sutphen
Michigan Law Review
In the process of determining whether a peremptory strike is valid, lower courts rely on the TI.tie VII burden-shifting framework originally laid out by the Supreme Court in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green As a result, the order and presentation of proof in Batson cases deliberately parallels the order and presentation of proof in TI.tie VII intentional discrimination suits. In light of this similarity, the Supreme Court's recent TI.tie VII ruling in St. Mary's Honor Center v. Hicks - that proof of pretext under the McDonnell Douglas framework is not the legal equivalent to proof of intentional discrimination - raises …
Filling The "Charter Gap": Human Rights Codes In The Private Sector, Gavin W. Anderson
Filling The "Charter Gap": Human Rights Codes In The Private Sector, Gavin W. Anderson
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The author considers the capacity of the federal and provincial human rights codes to deal with human rights abuses in the private sector. He compares the social democratic potential of the codes, with the classical liberalism of Charter jurisprudence, which shields the private sector from constitutional scrutiny. Four case studies are used: the definition of "offered to the public," mandatory retirement, the rights of the poor, and systemic discrimination. It is concluded that there are important similarities between the codes and the Charter, both at an institutional design and a doctrinal level. As a result, the codes have been unable …
Remark: Brown V. Board: Revisited, Michael A. Middleton
Remark: Brown V. Board: Revisited, Michael A. Middleton

[T]he Negro needs neither segregated schools nor mixed schools. What he needs is Education. What he must remember is that there is no magic, either in mixed schools or in segregated schools. A mixed school with poor and unsympathetic teachers, with hostile public opinion, and no teaching of truth concerning black folk, is bad. A segregated school with ignorant placeholders, inadequate equipment, poor salaries, and wretched housing, is equally bad. Other things being equal, the mixed school is the broader, more natural basis for the education of all youth. It gives wider contacts; it inspires greater self-confidence; and suppresses the …
Further Evidence Of Discrimination In New Car Negotiations And Estimates Of Its Cause, Ian Ayres
Further Evidence Of Discrimination In New Car Negotiations And Estimates Of Its Cause, Ian Ayres
Michigan Law Review
A 1991 test of new car dealerships in Chicago indicated that dealerships offered significantly lower prices to white male testers than to similarly situated black and-or female testers: white female testers were asked to pay 40% higher markups than white male testers; black male testers were asked to pay more than twice the markup of white male testers; and black female testers were asked to pay more than three times the markup of white male testers. This article extends the results of this initial test by presenting not only more authoritative evidence of discrimination but also a new quantitative method …

Calming Aids Phobia: Legal Implications Of The Low Risk Of Transmitting Hiv In The Health Care Setting, American Bar Association Aids Coordinating Committee
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Scientists are concluding that the risk of becoming infected with the virus that causes AIDS based on transmission from an infected health care worker is infinitesimal: in fact, only one health care worker has ever been documented as the source of HN transmission to a patient. This Article sets forth the medical evidence concerning this low risk and argues that legal decision making should incorporate these facts into its analysis of legal problems involving HN-infected health care workers. The Article analyzes three areas of such legal decision making: (1) employment and related credentialing of HN-infected health care workers; (2) liability …

Social Justice And The Myth Of Fairness: A Communal Defense Of Affirmative Action, Phillip J. Closius
Social Justice And The Myth Of Fairness: A Communal Defense Of Affirmative Action, Phillip J. Closius
All Faculty Scholarship
This Article shall examine the characteristics of the current analytical framework by first examining some harmful effects resulting from the prioritization of fairness: excessive generalization, formalism and superficiality, and materialism. The Article will then examine in detail the Supreme Court's resolution of modern affirmative action issues. The Court has generated confusion and discord by applying simplistic concepts to complex problems and by adhering to the primacy of fairness in a context in which all interested parties claim that fairness favors their result. Finally, this Article will critique the Court's inability to provide a consistent doctrinal basis for discussing affirmative action …
Introduction To Mortgage Lending Discrimination Law, Robert G. Schwemm
Introduction To Mortgage Lending Discrimination Law, Robert G. Schwemm
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Although mortgage lending discrimination and the laws that forbid it have been a part of the American landscape for over two decades, it has only been in recent years that this subject has captured the attention of the public, Congress, and federal enforcement officials. The result has been a tremendous upsurge in interest in this field. Still, there are relatively few cases that have been litigated to a conclusion on the merits, and fewer still that have resulted in plaintiff's victories. Thus, we find ourselves in an exciting period of great potential, but as yet not fully realized accomplishment, as …
Recent Case: Fourth Circuit Finds University Of Maryland Minority Scholarship Program Unconstitutional, Podberesky V. Kirwan, 38 F.3d 147 (4th Cir. 1994), Kimberly J. Robinson
Recent Case: Fourth Circuit Finds University Of Maryland Minority Scholarship Program Unconstitutional, Podberesky V. Kirwan, 38 F.3d 147 (4th Cir. 1994), Kimberly J. Robinson
Law Faculty Publications
In Podberesky v. Kirwan,4 the Fourth Circuit held that the University of Maryland at College Park (UMCP) denied Daniel Podberesky, a Hispanic/white student, equal protection of the laws by excluding him from consideration for the race-based Benjamin Banneker Scholarship Program. The program, the court held, was not narrowly tailored to remedy past discrimination at the University. In its analysis, however, the court applied only a portion of the applicable legal standard. A proper analysis of the program using the factors set forth in United States v. Paradise would have demonstrated that the program was narrowly tailored to address the racial …

Sexual Orientation: A Plea For Inclusion, Sharon E. Rush
UF Law Faculty Publications
White women and people of color have made significant scholarly contribution toward a better understanding of patriarchy and racial hegemony. Other outsider scholars, such as lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals, also have spoken out about how hegemony subordinates them to the dominant culture. That subordination creates a common pain of exclusion. All subordinated people should explore the sources of common pain that come from exclusion from the power and privilege generally enjoyed by members of the dominant culture.
The Price Of Landlord's "Free" Exercise Of Religion: Tenant's Rights To Discrimination-Free Housing And Privacy, Maureen E. Markey
The Price Of Landlord's "Free" Exercise Of Religion: Tenant's Rights To Discrimination-Free Housing And Privacy, Maureen E. Markey
Fordham Urban Law Journal
No precedent from the United States Supreme Court or other jurisprudence supports an individual, court-ordered free exerciseexemption for a landlord who violates the antidiscrimination laws while engaged in the business of rental housing. The fair housing laws are designed specifically to protect tenants from discrimination based on a landlord's personal biases. Although neither courts nor legislatures can dictate the morals of the marketplace, neither should they condone discriminatory acts that are clothed in the respectable shroud of the free exercise of religion. An exemption based not upon the landlord's own conduct, but on the landlord's disapproval of the presumed conduct …

The Women's Convention And The Equal Protection Clause Symposium - Human Rights In The Americas., Michael J. Corbera
The Women's Convention And The Equal Protection Clause Symposium - Human Rights In The Americas., Michael J. Corbera
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Article addresses whether the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (Women’s Convention) violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Because international treaties such as the Women’s Convention carry the same weight and are subject to the same treatment as U.S. federal law, the constitutionality of the Convention is dictated by U.S. jurisprudence. Part II of this Article outlines and discusses the origin and content of the Women’s Convention. Part III contains a historical review of gender jurisprudence in the United States, with particular emphasis on …
The Myth Of The Superspade: The Persistence Of Racism In College Athletics, Timothy Davis
The Myth Of The Superspade: The Persistence Of Racism In College Athletics, Timothy Davis
Fordham Urban Law Journal
As is true of society in general, untrue stereotypes underlie the subtle forms of racism prevalent in college sport. Despite its covert nature, persistent racism in college athletics inflicts real injury on its African-American participants. Their academic needs suffer as a result of misconceptions propelled by myths concerning their intellectual and athletic abilities. Long-term solutions to the harm inflicted upon student- athletes and other African-American participants in college sport will require honest and creative approaches that may transcend traditional doctrinal boundaries. In the short term, this Article identifies potential approaches for providing some modicum of relief for the harm caused …

Taxation Of Damages After Schleier - Where Are We And Where Do We Go From Here?, Douglas A. Kahn
Taxation Of Damages After Schleier - Where Are We And Where Do We Go From Here?, Douglas A. Kahn
Articles
This article will examine the reasoning of the Schleier decision and speculate as to how taxation of pre-1996 damages will likely apply in light of Schleier. First, the article will set forth a very brief history of the judicial and administrative constructions of the statutory exclusion, and explore tax policy justifications for providing an exclusion from gross income for certain damages. These latter two items (set forth in Parts II and III of this article) are areas that have been extensively addressed previously by several commentators, including the author of this article.' The reason for exploring tax policy issues is …
