Come Down And Make Bargains In Good Faith: The Application Of 42 U.S.C. 1981 To Race And National Origin Discrimination In Retail Stores, Charlotte S. Alexander
Come Down And Make Bargains In Good Faith: The Application Of 42 U.S.C. 1981 To Race And National Origin Discrimination In Retail Stores, Charlotte S. Alexander
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
Plaintiffs who have been discriminated against in retail stores on the basis of race or national origin have historically turned to the contracts clause of 42 U.S.C. § 1981, which guarantees to all people within the United States the same right "as is enjoyed by white citizens" to "make and enforce contracts." In 1991, Congress amended the statute, extending the requirement of equality beyond the "making and enforcement" of contracts to include the "performance, modification, and termination of contracts, and the enjoyment of all benefits, privileges, terms, and conditions of the contractual relationship." However, many courts have continued to apply …
Public Interest Drift Revised: Tracing The Sources Of Social Change Commitment Among Black Harvard Law Students, Jenee Desmond-Harris
Public Interest Drift Revised: Tracing The Sources Of Social Change Commitment Among Black Harvard Law Students, Jenee Desmond-Harris
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
Although "public interest drift"-the phenomenon of law students' interest in public interest careers decreasing over the course of legal education-has been studied extensively, author Jene Desmond- Harris argues that rates among black law students deserve a specially tailored analysis because of the black community's longstanding faith in the law and lawyers as instruments of social change. Through a study of current black Harvard Law students, admitted students, and alumni, she investigates the interactions between the Harvard Law School experience and the development of black law students' attitudes about pursuing careers aimed at affecting social change. Incorporating her own research with …
Providing Race Discrimination In Criminal Cases Using Statistical Evidence, Marc Price Wolf
Providing Race Discrimination In Criminal Cases Using Statistical Evidence, Marc Price Wolf
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
Proving race discrimination in a criminal case using statistical evidence has been a difficult endeavor since the Supreme Court's rulings in McCleskey and Armstrong. In those cases, the Court set a high threshold for using statistics to prove constitutional violations. This note argues that this threshold is not insurmountable. Studies can be crafted to overcome the strict guidelines set out in McCleskey and Armstrong. Additionally, lower courts have interpreted these cases too broadly, such that validly presented statistical studies have unfairly been brushed aside. This note also argues that the Court analyzes social scientific studies differently when those studies are …
Local Gun Bans In California:A Futile Exercise, Don B. Kates, Carl Dawson Michel
Local Gun Bans In California:A Futile Exercise, Don B. Kates, Carl Dawson Michel
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Article examines the authority of California local governments to "license" firearms possession-i.e., the authority to permit or deny the possession of firearms and/or ammunition within a locality's geographical limits. As such, the relevant case law makes clear that local governments may not ban handguns and other firearms that state law does not forbid the law-abiding adult citizenry from possessing.

The Great American Makeover: The Sexing Up And Dumbing Down Of Women's Work After Jespersen V. Harrah's Operating Company, Inc., Dianne Avery
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Article examines the Ninth Circuit's decision in Jesperson v. Harrah's, which the author argues insulates most employers from all but the most determined (and well-financed) challenges to sex-based dress, grooming, and appearance codes under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and will also likely impact both federal court and state court jurisprudence in this area of employment law.

Voices From The Workplace: Oakwood Healthcare, Inc. And The Rollback Of Labor Rights Under The Current National Labor Relations Board, Eric Wiesner
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Comment argues that in the current atmosphere in which the Board has faltered in its ability to carry out the national labor policy of encouraging unionization and collective bargaining, and the proper forum for enforcing the rights of workers is the legislative branch, and concludes by arguing for congressional action to amend the Act as the best means to bring the statutory definition of supervisor in line with modern workplace realities.
Unpacking Pandora's Box: Innovative Techniques For Effectively Counseling Asylum Applicants Suffering From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Carol M. Suzuki
Unpacking Pandora's Box: Innovative Techniques For Effectively Counseling Asylum Applicants Suffering From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Carol M. Suzuki
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
Each year, innumerable asylum seekers are denied relief in the United States because the asylum officer or immigration judge does not believe that the applicant is telling the truth. The immigration judge makes an adverse credibility determination because the applicant's story of persecution lacks sufficient detail and is inconsistent. A victim of severe and often prolonged trauma may develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which profoundly affects his ability to tell a consistent and detailed story of past persecution. Thus, an asylum seeker suffering from PTSD as a result of traumatic experiences, desperately in need of a safe haven, may be …

The Nondischargeability Of Student Loans In Bankruptcy: How The Prevailing "Undue Hardship" Test Creates Hardship Of Its Own, Feather Devi Baron
The Nondischargeability Of Student Loans In Bankruptcy: How The Prevailing "Undue Hardship" Test Creates Hardship Of Its Own, Feather Devi Baron
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Comment argues that to ensure that every debtor receives equitable treatment with respect to the hardship exception, and to better follow congressional intent, the prevailing undue hardship test in bankruptcy cases for dischargeable debts should be amended to include a timing standard that requires courts to uniformly apply such a standard at the time a debtor files a dischargeability action. Furthermore, courts should maintain jurisdiction over hardship determinations until discharge occurs to prevent discharge of debts payable without undue hardship.

Can Blogging And Employment Co-Exist?, John S. Hong
Can Blogging And Employment Co-Exist?, John S. Hong
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Comment explores the extent to which a blogger who exercises this autonomy right, by publishing thoughts or opinions online, should legitimately fear termination or other retaliatory actions by the snooping employer, and accordingly, argues that employment law must draw a line between managerial rights of the employer and the privacy rights of the employee.
Domain Names Triggering Internet Pop-Up Advertisements: A "Use In Commerce" Under The Lanham Act, Joan Obispo Arbolante
Domain Names Triggering Internet Pop-Up Advertisements: A "Use In Commerce" Under The Lanham Act, Joan Obispo Arbolante
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Comment proposes that URLs used to trigger pop-up ads constitute a "use in commerce" under the Lanham Act because they are used more than as a "pure machine-linkingfunction" and are more than public keys to access websites. Accordingly, despite some federal cases precedent that involve narrow definitions of "use in commerce" - a requirement to bring a successful trademark infringement suit. This Comment suggests that these narrow holdings is that internet advertising developers can now design technology to avoid the narrow definition of "use in commerce" and thereby avoid liability for trademark infringement.

"Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves!" Why The Parental Rights Of Registered Domestic Partners Must Trump The Parental Rights Of Their Known Sperm Donors In California, Allison J. Stone
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Comment argues that California Family Code section 297.5 dictates that parental rights in both domestic partners who conceive a child through artificial insemination trump the parental rights of the known sperm donor, because heterosexual married couples have parental rights when a child is born during their marriage, even if one parent is not biologically related to the child.
The Fourth Amendment Status Of Stored E-Mail: The Law Professors' Brief In Warshak V. United States, Susan Freiwald, Patricia L. Bellia
The Fourth Amendment Status Of Stored E-Mail: The Law Professors' Brief In Warshak V. United States, Susan Freiwald, Patricia L. Bellia
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Article examines what procedural hurdles the government must overcome in order to compel service providers to turn over digital communications. Specifcally, Warshak v. United States raises these very questions because it asks the Sixth Circuit to determine what showing a court should require of the Government, under the Stored Communications Act. This article also examines whether those statutory requirements under the SCA satisfy the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.
Keeping Free Speech Free In The College Marketplace Of Ideas: California Legislation As An Imperfect Solution To Censorship By University Administrators, Jennifer Ross
University of San Francisco Law Review
This Comment highlights the difficult position that some private college or university students find themselves in, when it comes to suing to protect their free speech rights. As such, this Comment argues that in order for pending California legislation to go the full distance in fostering a "marketplace of ideas", the legislature should pass additional bills to protect private college students from Hosty-type administrative censorship.
