The Contradiction Between Equal Protection's Meaning And Its Legal Substance: How Deliberate Indifference Can Cure It, Derek W. Black
The Contradiction Between Equal Protection's Meaning And Its Legal Substance: How Deliberate Indifference Can Cure It, Derek W. Black
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
This Article highlights the inherent ambiguities of racial antidiscrimination's core legal language: "equal protection under the law" and "discrimination based on race." It then analyzes how and why the Court has never answered fundamental questions regarding the meaning of these terms. Thus, this Article answers these fundamental questions itself by exploring the original intent behind the Equal Protection Clause. Against this backdrop, this Article reveals how the Court's standard for assessing discrimination claims, the intent doctrine, assumes a meaning for equal protection that is inconsistent with its original meaning. Rather than reflecting equal protection's meaning, the standard lacks any basis …

The Fair Housing Act And Disparate Impact In Homeowners Insurance, Dana L. Kaersvang
The Fair Housing Act And Disparate Impact In Homeowners Insurance, Dana L. Kaersvang
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that because homeowners insurance is central to homeownership, the FHA applies to insurance underwriting policies, such as those mentioned above, that have a disparate impact on minority potential homeowners. Part I considers whether the FHA applies to homeowners insurance and concludes that homeowners insurance is covered by the Act. Part II goes on to argue that the FHA applies to homeowners insurance even where the discrimination results from disparate impact, rather than from disparate treatment. Finally, Part III analyzes the above-mentioned policies of the insurance industry under the FHA disparate impact standard.

Reconsidering Reparations, Alfred L. Brophy
Reconsidering Reparations, Alfred L. Brophy
Indiana Law Journal
Eric Posner's and Adrian Vermeule's essay, Reparations for Slavery and Other Historic Injustices, seeks a framework for defining reparations and evaluating reparations claims. It explores a limited set of past reparations, as well as the connections between those asked to pay reparations and past wrongdoers, and the connections between those receiving reparations and those injured in the past. Posner and Vermeule use that framework to evaluate the morality of reparations and the legal problems that arise in implementing reparations proposals.
This Essay takes up the Posner-Vermeule analysis at several points. It challenges their limited definition of reparations and their limited …
Employment Discrimination, Peter Reed Corbin, John E. Duvall
Employment Discrimination, Peter Reed Corbin, John E. Duvall
Mercer Law Review
The 2005 survey period saw a continuation of the diminished number of published decisions by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in the area of employment discrimination. However, it is interesting to note that the Eleventh Circuit also handed down at least 141 unpublished opinions in employment discrimination cases. Accordingly, while this trend may mean that the topic of employment discrimination is still very much alive and well within the Eleventh Circuit, it may also indicate that there are fewer unsettled questions of law in this area. However, this does not mean that the 2005 survey period was insignificant
The Religious Land Use And Institutionalized Persons Act Of 2000 And Its Effect On Eleventh Circuit Law, Christina Harrison Schnizler
The Religious Land Use And Institutionalized Persons Act Of 2000 And Its Effect On Eleventh Circuit Law, Christina Harrison Schnizler
Mercer Law Review
The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 ("RLUIPA") was enacted by Congress in response to the Supreme Court overruling the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 ("RFRA") and as an extension of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act. RLUIPA is intended "to protect religious liberty" and prohibits discrimination based on religion in two areas: land use regulations and religious rights for institutionalized persons. Generally, the religious land use provisions prevent state and local governments from creating improper zoning restrictions that unduly prohibit religious organizations from holding meetings, locating in a specific area, or expanding their current …
Mark(Et)Ing Nondiscrimination: Privatizing Enda With A Certification Mark, Ian Ayres, Jennifer Gerarda Brown
Mark(Et)Ing Nondiscrimination: Privatizing Enda With A Certification Mark, Ian Ayres, Jennifer Gerarda Brown
Michigan Law Review
People in the United States strongly support the simple idea that employers should not discriminate against gays and lesbians. In a 2003 Gallup poll, eighty-eight percent of respondents said that "homosexuals should . . . have equal rights in terms of job opportunities." Even prominent social conservatives- such as George W. Bush-give lip service to the idea that employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is wrong. But gay rights advocates have achieved only modest legal reform on this issue. Seventeen states have prohibited employment discrimination against gays and lesbians. A seemingly modest bill, the Employment Non Discrimination Act …
Finding The Sex In Sexual Harassment: How Title Vii And Tort Schemes Miss The Point Of Same-Sex Hostile Environment Harassment, Yvonne Zylan
Finding The Sex In Sexual Harassment: How Title Vii And Tort Schemes Miss The Point Of Same-Sex Hostile Environment Harassment, Yvonne Zylan
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
It has been nearly a quarter century since the United States Supreme Court first recognized the cause of action for a sexually hostile work environment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, the Court essentially adopted the view offered by legal academician Catharine MacKinnon that harassment taking the form of a sexually hostile work environment is a manifestation of gender-based power. In so doing, the Court created a remedy for many aggrieved employees, permitting redress in the federal courts for a problem that makes many workplaces unbearable. At the same …
We Can Do Better: Anti-Homeless Ordinances As Violations Of State Substantive Due Process Law, Andrew J. Liese
We Can Do Better: Anti-Homeless Ordinances As Violations Of State Substantive Due Process Law, Andrew J. Liese
Vanderbilt Law Review
In September of 2004, a group of local business owners and professionals in Nashville, Tennessee, together with the Nashville Downtown Partnership, a local downtown improvement organization, submitted a plan to the Metro Council that proposed making it illegal to panhandle in the busiest areas of the city. Advocates of the proposed legislation argued that panhandlers "harass tourists and customers and make the city less appealing." Opponents viewed the proposal as nothing more than an attempt to force the homeless out of the city. The Nashville plan is patterned after the measures that several major American cities-including Philadelphia, Denver, and Seattle-have …
The Four Pillars Of Work Law, Orly Lobel
The Four Pillars Of Work Law, Orly Lobel
Michigan Law Review
In our contemporary legal landscape, a student wishing to study the law of the workplace has scarce opportunity to encounter an integrated body of scholarship that analyzes the labor market as the subject of government regulation, contractual duties, collective action, and individual rights. Work law developed in the American legal system as a patchwork of common law doctrine, federal and state statutes, and evolving social norms. Typical law school curricula often include courses relating to the four pillars of work law: "employment law," "labor law," "employment discrimination," and some variation of a tax-oriented "employee-benefits law." Employment law, in most categorizations, …

The Current Landscape Of Race: Old Targets, New Opportunities, Richard Delgado
Michigan Law Review
It is difficult enough identifying areas within a current field of scholarship that are underdeveloped and in need of further attention. In science, one thinks of missing elements in the periodic table or planets in a solar system that our calculations tell us must be there but that our telescopes have not yet spotted. In civil-rights law, one thinks of such areas as women's sports or the problems of intersectional groups, such as women of color or gay black men. One also thinks of issues that current events are constantly thrusting forward, such as discrimination against Arabs or execution of …
Jackson V. Birmingham Board Of Education And The Expansion Of Title Ix's Judicially Implied Private Right Of Action, Darl H. Champion Jr
Jackson V. Birmingham Board Of Education And The Expansion Of Title Ix's Judicially Implied Private Right Of Action, Darl H. Champion Jr
Mercer Law Review
In Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education, the United States Supreme Court departed from its current trend of hostility toward implying rights of action in federal statutes. In Jackson the Court held that there is an implied private right of action for retaliation under Title IX when a whistleblower is retaliated against for complaining about sex discrimination. As a result, the Court increased the protections to employees and students of funding recipients who report instances of sex discrimination.
Pennsylvania State Police V. Suders, Letoyia C. Brooks
Pennsylvania State Police V. Suders, Letoyia C. Brooks
Mercer Law Review
In Pennsylvania State Police v. Suders, the United States Supreme Court reached two conclusions. First, the Court wrote that an employee who resigns as a result of sexual harassment may assert a Title VII constructive discharge claim where the employee can show that the "working conditions became so intolerable that a reasonable person in the employee's position would have felt compelled to resign." Second, the Court held that an employer may assert the affirmative defense established in Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, ("Ellerth/Faragher") in a situation where an employee …

The Impact Of "Chartervalues" And Campbell V. Jones: Is It Now Easier To Establish Qualified Privilege Against Defamation?, Geoffrey Duckworth
The Impact Of "Chartervalues" And Campbell V. Jones: Is It Now Easier To Establish Qualified Privilege Against Defamation?, Geoffrey Duckworth
Dalhousie Law Journal
The purpose of this case comment is to impel a discourse on whether Campbell v. Jones' has "loosened the test" on qualified privilege. In the aftermath of the Court ofAppeal decision, it might be tempting to suggest that Campbell v. Jones means that the defence of qualified privilege is being re-fabricated in light of the advent of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, in order to take an expanded account of "Charter values" such as freedom of expression. This case comment adopts the contrary view, and asserts that what Campbell has really done is clarify exactly which type of extraordinary …

Racial Profiling In Texas Department Of Public Safety Traffic Stops: Race Aware Or Race Benign., Steven R. Wolfson
Racial Profiling In Texas Department Of Public Safety Traffic Stops: Race Aware Or Race Benign., Steven R. Wolfson
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
It is illegal for Texas law enforcement agencies to racially profile people. However, Texas continues to deal with racial profiling among law enforcement officers. This article concerns the right to travel, unmolested by state action based upon race or ethnicity. Since passing the Fourteenth Amendment and its Equal Protection Clause, our legal system under-includes, and outright excludes, certain groups of people from its promise. Such racial disparities have lived in the United States Constitution since the authors drafted the three-fifths compromise at its inception. When considering the criminality of a group of people and the overpopulation in state prisons, many …
