Pesticides And Children: Unwitting Participants In Experimentation, Valerie Watnick Jan 2008

Pesticides And Children: Unwitting Participants In Experimentation, Valerie Watnick

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the regulatory system in the United States has failed to adequately protect children from the dangers of toxic pesticides, particularly Malathion and Lindane, which are used in shampoos despite their well-documented health risks. The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) was intended to address these risks but has not been effectively enforced, leaving children, especially those in underserved populations, vulnerable to severe health consequences. The continued approval of these harmful products highlights a broader regulatory failure to prioritize human health over industrial interests.

Walking The Path Of The Law: How Law Graduates Navigate Career Choices And Tolerate Jobs That Fail To Meet Expectations, Deborah J. Cantrell, Elizabeth Levy Paluck, Heather Lord, April Smith

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article presents a longitudinal study of Yale Law School graduates from 1970 to 1999, analyzing their career paths, job satisfaction, and gender differences in professional experiences. It highlights the prevalence of career transitions, with many graduates moving from private practice to academia, government, or public interest roles. The study reveals significant gender disparities in job satisfaction and work-life balance, while challenging common assumptions about legal careers, such as the notion that women abandon private practice more frequently than men. The analysis underscores the importance of understanding career dynamics to improve support systems for law graduates.


Incest And Sex Offender Registration: Who Is Registration Helping And Who Is It Hurting?, Jocelyn Ho Jan 2008

Incest And Sex Offender Registration: Who Is Registration Helping And Who Is It Hurting?, Jocelyn Ho

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that sex offender registration and notification laws, such as Megan's Law, disproportionately harm victims and offenders in cases of incest. It contends that incest is distinct from other sex crimes due to its familial nature and low recidivism rates, making its inclusion in public registries unnecessary and counterproductive. The psychological and social consequences of registration extend to victims, violating their privacy and perpetuating stigma. The note advocates for a shift in policy focus toward prevention, victim empowerment, and rehabilitation rather than punitive measures.

Change Of Sex Designation On Transsexuals' Birth Certificates: Public Policy And Equal Protection, Stephanie Markowitz Jan 2008

Change Of Sex Designation On Transsexuals' Birth Certificates: Public Policy And Equal Protection, Stephanie Markowitz

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the legal inconsistencies in the United States regarding the amendment of birth certificates for postoperative transsexual individuals, highlighting the disparity in treatment between male-to-female (MTF) and female-to-male (FTM) transsexuals. It argues that these inconsistencies violate the Equal Protection Clause by subjecting similarly situated individuals to different standards, often requiring MTF transsexuals to undergo more invasive surgeries than FTM transsexuals. The author advocates for a more equitable approach, emphasizing the importance of medical professionals' opinions and aligning legal standards with modern understandings of gender identity.

It Takes Three, Baby: The Lack Of Standard, Legal Definitions Of "Best Interest Of The Child" And The Right To Contract For Lesbian Potential Parents, Harvey L. Fiser, Paula K. Garrett Jan 2008

It Takes Three, Baby: The Lack Of Standard, Legal Definitions Of "Best Interest Of The Child" And The Right To Contract For Lesbian Potential Parents, Harvey L. Fiser, Paula K. Garrett

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

In order to consider the plausibility of contracts regarding Artificial Insemination, or Al, this article will first review various options and legal ramifications for choices regarding Al and then focus on the effect of inconsistent application of the Uniform Parentage Act, or UPA, among states that have chosen to adopt any legislation. This legal conundrum creates major obstacles for lesbian couples in procreation and in legal protection for children and often denies lesbian Americans the right to equal enforcement of contracts. This article will consider how the current standard of "best interest of the child" is being used in the …


Letting "Privates" Be Private: Toward A Right Of Gender Selfdetermination, Samuel E. Bartos Jan 2008

Letting "Privates" Be Private: Toward A Right Of Gender Selfdetermination, Samuel E. Bartos

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the contradictory landscape of transgender jurisprudence, particularly focusing on the legal struggles of transgender individuals to achieve recognition of their gender identity. It highlights the Kansas Supreme Court's decision in In the Matter of the Estate of Marshall G. Gardiner, which denied legal recognition of a transgender individual's marriage, contrasted with more progressive rulings in other jurisdictions. The analysis underscores the need for a consistent and inclusive legal framework to address the rights of transgender individuals, emphasizing the potential for future Supreme Court intervention to establish uniform standards.

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note explores the tension between women's colleges' traditional mission of providing single-sex education and the rights of transgender students, arguing for the need to balance these interests through clear policies and legal frameworks.


Allies Not Adversaries: Teaching Collaboration To The Next Generation Of Doctors And Lawyers To Address Social Inequality, Elizabeth Tobin Tyler Jan 2008

Allies Not Adversaries: Teaching Collaboration To The Next Generation Of Doctors And Lawyers To Address Social Inequality, Elizabeth Tobin Tyler

Pro Bono Collaborative Staff Publications

Recent reports from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, as well as from other medical and legal educators, stress that professional training of doctors and lawyers focuses too narrowly on knowledge-based learning, and not enough on context-based problem solving, professionalism, and ethics. Tracing recent calls from both legal and medical educators to increase the teaching of ethics, social responsibility, the lawyer-client and doctor-patient relationship, and holistic problem-solving, this article offers a model of interdisciplinary medical-legal education focused on developing practitioners sensitive to the needs of diverse and disenfranchised clients and patients. It highlights a burgeoning medical-legal partnership model, …

What Happens In North Minneapolis Doesn’T Stay In North Minneapolis: Arguing Credibility In A Criminal Trial, Rebutting Implicit Jury Bias, And Taking A New Look At Why A Prosecutor Would Tell Jurors That Civilian Witnesses Are From A “Different World”, Joshua R. Larson Jan 2008

What Happens In North Minneapolis Doesn’T Stay In North Minneapolis: Arguing Credibility In A Criminal Trial, Rebutting Implicit Jury Bias, And Taking A New Look At Why A Prosecutor Would Tell Jurors That Civilian Witnesses Are From A “Different World”, Joshua R. Larson

School of Law Student Projects

In several recent homicide cases from Minneapolis, Minnesota, prosecutors have used a particular rhetorical device in closing argument that suggests to jurors that certain civilian witnesses from North Minneapolis live in a different world than the jurors do and that, therefore, the jurors must consider the witnesses’ unique cultural characteristics when weighing the witnesses’ credibility. Defense attorneys have decried these “different world” arguments, and the Minnesota Supreme Court has expressed concern that such arguments could violate a defendant’s right to a fair trial by insinuating that the defendant is from a different world and by introducing unnecessary racial or socioeconomic …
