Pay Equity: A Fundamental Human Right, Margot Young

All Faculty Publications

This paper undertakes the limited task of determining what interpretive consequences, if any, might flow from the removal of federal pay equity provisions from their current location in the Canadian Human Rights Act and placement of such provisions in their own stand-alone legislation. Part of the interpretive stance courts currently bring to their consideration of the federal pay equity provisions reflects the placement of these provisions within federal human rights legislation. Courts have held that human rights legislation has a special nature or quasi-constitutional status. This status results from the fundamental character of the values the legislation expresses and the …

Unloved: Tort In The Modern Legal Academy, John C.P. Goldberg

Vanderbilt Law Review

In The Idea of Private Law, Ernest Weinrib makes an arresting claim. He says that private law-by which he means primarily the law of contract, restitution, and especially tort-is "just like love."'

Even members of a discipline devoted to analogies may be forgiven for not immediately perceiving the point of this one, particularly if we focus on the private law of tort. Few law students would mistake negligence, defamation, or battery for love, and if they did, their professors might be concerned for their well-being. Likewise, it is difficult to recall another law professor writing of love and tort in …

Equal Protection Incorporation, Michael C. Dorf

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In order to preserve a broad field of play for legislative and administrative action, courts do not subject most state action to exacting scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause. For half a century, the principal exception has consisted of so-called suspect and semi-suspect classifications. Although the Supreme Court has articulated criteria for identifying such classifications, standing alone, none of these criteria is satisfactory, nor has the Court found any principled means of combining them. This Article proposes a judicial reading of the Equal Protection Clause, "equal protection incorporation", that roots the process of identifying suspect and semi-suspect classifications in constitutional …

Cloning And Reproductive Liberty, Francis J. Beckwith

Nevada Law Journal

Can the principles that gave rise to reproductive liberty - principles that undergird the reasoning of several United States Supreme Court decisions - be extended to include the right to clone? I will attempt to answer that question in this paper. However, prior to directly addressing that question, I will (1) explain the science of cloning, and human cloning in particular; (2) present a brief overview of the cloning controversy, as well as the political, legal, and public reactions to it; and (3) discuss the possible uses for cloning, and interact with some of the objections raised against the practice. …

Modern Tort Law Demystified, Carl Tobias

Nevada Law Journal

ACCIDENTAL JUSTICE: THE DILEMMAS OF TORT LAW (ACCIDENTAL JUSTICE), by Professors Peter Bell and Jeffrey O'Connell, is a pellucid, balanced tour de force of modem tort law in the United States. Bell and O'Connell speak intelligently to a broad spectrum of readers who may possess varying degrees of understanding of the relevant issues. ACCIDENTAL JUSTICE is sophisticated, yet eminently accessible, and the book never condescends, even to readers not trained in the law. The volume's publication is propitious because the tort field has become increasingly controversial, while tort law has been at the center of ongoing, intense public policy debates …
