Blinded By The Light: The Third Circuit Curtails The Independent Ricci Defense In Naacp V. North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue, Douglas A. Behrens

Villanova Law Review (1956 - )

Employment discrimination on the basis of race, gender, and ethnicity has long plagued America’s workforce. Congress passed Title VII to address this concern, which outlawed both intentional and pretextual discrimination—referred to as disparate treatment and disparate impact, respectively. But what happens when two different racial groups bring competing disparate treatment and disparate impact claims seeking to compel an employer to take mutually exclusive actions—one threatening to sue if an employer takes a given action and the other threatening to sue if the employer does not take that same action? Should one claim trump the other? The Supreme Court in Ricci …

Cause And Conviction: The Role Of Causation In Section 1983 Wrongful Conviction Claims, Teressa E. Ravenell

Working Paper Series

The United States criminal justice system convicts, incarcerates, and, in some instances, executes people for crimes of which they are innocent. Although wrongful convictions may be an inevitable consequence of our criminal justice system, it would seem that a person wrongly deprived of his liberty is entitled to a civil remedy to compensate for the mistakes of the criminal system. Yet persons wrongly convicted of crimes who bring actions under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 for an erroneous arrest, detention, or conviction are often denied monetary compensation.

This Article considers the role of causation in section 1983 wrongful conviction cases. Although …

Put Me In Coach!: Title Ix Has Taken Female Athletes Off Of The Sidelines And Into The Game, But How Can Current Progress Be Advanced In The Future?, Jennifer Passannante

Women’s Law Forum (2000-2006)

Title IX was originally promulgated to establish equal opportunity for both men and women in federally funded programs. Although it was originally enacted for much broader purposes, Title IX is still considered the single most important piece of legislation promoting equal opportunities for females in interscholastic and intercollegiate athletics. Unfortunately, despite Title IX, women still lag behind men in nearly "every measure of collegiate athletic equality." This article will focus specifically on Title IX's progress to date in creating athletic opportunities for women, its inadvertent consequences affecting male athletes, and means of achieving increased success in the future. Part II …
