The Significance Of Entrenchment Of Equality Rights, Dianne Pothier Jan 2003

The Significance Of Entrenchment Of Equality Rights, Dianne Pothier

Dianne Pothier Collection

Not until April 17, 1985 did Canada's Constitution officially embrace guarantees of equality. The three year delay in the coming into force of section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was a clear acknowledgement that equality was not a pre-existing condition at the time of entrenchment of the Charter in 1982. After 17 years of experience with entrenched rights, it can unequivocally be said that entrenchment has brought progress toward equality.

A Closed Mind Is A Wonderful Thing To Lose, Ruth Arlene Howe Jan 2003

A Closed Mind Is A Wonderful Thing To Lose, Ruth Arlene Howe

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The preface emphasizes the importance of maintaining an open mind, particularly in legal education, by highlighting the value of diverse perspectives and collaborative approaches to teaching and learning. It praises the teaching methods of Maria Grahn-Farley, who fosters a cooperative and respectful environment that encourages students to engage with differing viewpoints. The preface suggests that such an approach not only enhances the educational experience but also serves as a model for others to emulate.

Women Of Color-What Their Voices Teach Us, Jacqueline Mertz

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The Law Is Straight And Narrow, How American Courts Define Families, Elisa Laird Jan 2003

The Law Is Straight And Narrow, How American Courts Define Families, Elisa Laird

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that American law is inherently biased toward traditional heterosexual family structures, creating significant barriers for same-sex couples and non-traditional families seeking legal recognition and rights. The legal system's "straight and narrow" framework often excludes these families from accessing benefits and protections granted to heterosexual families, reflecting deeply entrenched religious and historical influences.


Invisible Targets: Juvenile Prostitution, Crackdown Legislation, And The Example Of California, Pantea Javidan Jan 2003

Invisible Targets: Juvenile Prostitution, Crackdown Legislation, And The Example Of California, Pantea Javidan

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the contradiction in California's legal framework where minors are criminalized for prostitution under California Penal Code section 647(b), despite being legally incapable of consenting to sex. It argues that such laws fail to protect child prostitutes, who are often victims of exploitation, and instead perpetuate their harm by punishing them rather than addressing the root causes of their situation.


The Silencing Of A Woman's Choice: Mandatory Arrest And No Drop Prosecution Policies In Domestic Violence Cases, Jessica Dayton Jan 2003

The Silencing Of A Woman's Choice: Mandatory Arrest And No Drop Prosecution Policies In Domestic Violence Cases, Jessica Dayton

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The author advocates for a more flexible, victim-centered approach that respects each woman's unique circumstances and empowers her to make informed choices.


The Closet Becomes Darker For The Abused: A Perspective On Lesbian Partner Abuse, Marnie J. Franklin Jan 2003

The Closet Becomes Darker For The Abused: A Perspective On Lesbian Partner Abuse, Marnie J. Franklin

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that lesbian partner abuse is systematically overlooked in both academic discourse and legal systems, which predominantly rely on heteronormative frameworks that fail to account for same-sex relationships. This exclusion perpetuates the marginalization of abused lesbians, who face unique barriers due to societal homophobia, internalized shame, and the legal system's reliance on heterosexual models of domestic violence.

Images Of Women Lawyers: Over-Representation Of Their Femininity In Media, Victoria Alexeeva

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

Title Vii Limitations-Keeping The Workplace Hostile, Diane Gentry Jan 2003

Title Vii Limitations-Keeping The Workplace Hostile, Diane Gentry

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as currently interpreted and applied, fails to effectively address workplace sexism and harassment because its legal framework is rooted in patriarchal assumptions. The statute's focus on sexual harassment often overlooks broader gender-based discrimination, leaving many women without adequate legal recourse. The article contends that the law perpetuates male-dominated work cultures by narrowly defining actionable harassment and requiring proof of unwelcome behavior, which places undue burdens on victims.
