Survival Homicide, Michal Buchhandler-Raphael Jun 2023

Survival Homicide, Michal Buchhandler-Raphael

Cardozo Law Review

A significant number of women who are incarcerated in American prisons for homicide offenses have been subjected to various forms of domestic abuse, including physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. This Article coins the term “survival homicide” to refer to cases where survivors of substantial and repeated domestic abuse kill abusive intimate partners or other abusive family members in circumstances where the abuse significantly contributed to their act.

Cardozo Law Review

Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs) have, in recent years, been among the most controversial weapons systems in the U.S. war on terrorism.

Aggression, Unconscious Conflict, And The Role Of The Lawyer, Jean Roiphe Jan 1995

Aggression, Unconscious Conflict, And The Role Of The Lawyer, Jean Roiphe

Cardozo Law Review

Why does an individual need a lawyer? What use is she to her client? Well, we answer, because the lawyer is an expert. She has a superior understanding of a highly technical field. And, of course, this is usually true. But that is not all. The client needs the lawyer not merely for her legal expertise, but for the management of his aggression. The lawyer offers not just legal defense, but defense against the fury of the drives, on the one hand, and the fury of the superego, on the other. The lawyer operates for the client as an …
