Dangerous Bodies: Freak Shows, Expression, And Exploitation, Brigham A. Fordham
Dangerous Bodies: Freak Shows, Expression, And Exploitation, Brigham A. Fordham
Brigham A Fordham
The freak shows of the late 1800s and early 1900s, which traveled the nation exhibiting “human oddities” for profit, are regaining popularity as an underground form of entertainment. While some non-legal scholars have investigated the meaning of freak shows in American culture, little attention has been paid to the laws that regulate freak shows or the legal rights of freak show participants. This Article seeks to introduce legal discourse into the discussion of freak shows and, in the process, to comment on legal approaches to preventing discrimination against persons who are physically different. Drawing upon the theories and analysis of …

Citizenship, Residence And Social Security, Mel Cousins
Citizenship, Residence And Social Security, Mel Cousins
Mel Cousins
In two recent cases the Court of Justice has considered the impact of Union citizenship on the long-standing issue of the exportability of social security payments. These decisions clarify (i) the position of the Court in relation to the material scope of the protection provided by Article 18 EC, i.e. that the exercise of free movement is itself sufficient to bring an issue within the scope of the Treaty regardless of whether the issue actually in dispute involves a question of Community law and (ii) that the Court will examine residence requirements as a restriction on the freedoms conferred by …
The Social Security Rights Of Transsexuals Under Eu Law And The, Mel Cousins
The Social Security Rights Of Transsexuals Under Eu Law And The, Mel Cousins
Mel Cousins
The rights of transsexuals have gained important recognition in recent decisions by the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights. Yet important conceptual issues remained to be clarified as to the precise implications of these decisions for the rights of transsexuals in areas such as social security and pensions entitlement. This article examines two important recent decisions which further develop the Courts’ caselaw. These cases also highlight the developing– and largely complementary - relationship between the two legal orders.
A Kinder, Gentler Law School? Race, Ethnicity, Gender, And Legal Education At King Hall, Lisa Pruitt
A Kinder, Gentler Law School? Race, Ethnicity, Gender, And Legal Education At King Hall, Lisa Pruitt
Lisa R Pruitt
Diversity is touted as a preeminent concern and important goal of the legal profession generally and of the UC Davis School of Law specifically. Known as King Hall (after Martin Luther King, Jr.), the UC Davis School of Law is relatively diverse compared to other law schools and enjoys a reputation as a kinder, gentler place to study law. This article and the study on which it is based investigate whether King Hall truly is, for students of various demographic backgrounds, the uniquely supportive community it purports to be. The article thus contributes to the burgeoning literature on the influence …

Post-Colonialism, Gender, And Customary Injustice: Widows In African Societies, Uche Ewelukwa
Post-Colonialism, Gender, And Customary Injustice: Widows In African Societies, Uche Ewelukwa
Uche Ewelukwa
By amending discriminatory laws and practices related to the treatment of widows in Africa, widows can gain new rights based on evolving international human rights standards on equality. In Nigeria, both common law and statutes perpetuate discrimination against widows by subjecting them to dehumanizing treatment. The current laws ignore the deep social changes that have been present in Africa since the onset of colonialism. Due to the piecemeal way in which African legal systems were constructed, patently discriminatory laws are routinely upheld by the courts. This is done despite constitutional provisions espousing the principles of equality and non-discrimination, thereby creating …
No Black Names On The Letterhead? Efficient Discrimination And The South African Legal Profession, Lisa R. Pruitt
No Black Names On The Letterhead? Efficient Discrimination And The South African Legal Profession, Lisa R. Pruitt
Lisa R Pruitt
Although there have long been black lawyers in South Africa, during apartheid only a handful joined the ranks of the country’s large commercial firms. Now, in the post-apartheid period, these firms are keenly aware of a range of economic and political incentives to hire black attorneys, and most are doing so at a record pace. Very few black attorneys, however, are enduring the path to partnership in these firms. Based on more than seventy-five interviews conducted in South Africa in 1999 and 2000, this Article both documents and critically examines the reasons for black attrition. While firms’ incentives to integrate …
The Troubling Influence Of Equality In Constitutional Criminal Procedure: From Brown To Miranda, Furman And Beyond, Scott Howe
Scott W. Howe
This article identifies and critiques a theory of the criminal clauses revealed in Supreme Court decisions after Brown v. Board of Education. As the title implies, the article contends that the Court has often gone astray in constructing these clauses by focusing on equality. The article contends that the criminal clauses are better understood as discrete protections of individual liberty than as reflecting a unified theory or separate theories about equality. The article proposes a reformulation of doctrine in varied realms of constitutional criminal procedure, including police interrogation, capital sentencing and administrative searches and seizures.

My Career As A Chocolatier, Ann Bartow
Ann Bartow
This essay is a first-hand account of experience in a world that many in the legal profession have never glimpsed. Not the typical law journal fare, it neither espouses nor condemns a legal position. Although this piece provides commentary on employment law issues facing factory workers, it also attempts to provide insight into the working conditions of many American women.
