Pregnancy Discrimination Under Tide Ix: Compliance Concerns At Law Schools, Liani Balasuriya
Pregnancy Discrimination Under Tide Ix: Compliance Concerns At Law Schools, Liani Balasuriya
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the protection of pregnant law students under Title IX and highlights significant gaps in compliance and enforcement within law schools. Despite Title IX's prohibition of pregnancy discrimination, the lack of data and inconsistent policies at law schools raise concerns about the adequacy of protections for pregnant students. The analysis advocates for improved data collection, clearer policies, and stronger accountability measures to ensure equitable treatment of pregnant law students.
It’S Time For The Fourth Circuit To Rethink Deshaney, Dale Margolin Cecka
It’S Time For The Fourth Circuit To Rethink Deshaney, Dale Margolin Cecka

In 2015, the Fourth Circuit heard Doe v. Rosa, in which the parent plaintiffs sought to extend civil liability to the Citadel’s president, for failing to protect their minor sons from sex abuse inflicted by one of the Citadel’s employees. In dismissing the matter, the Fourth Circuit followed precedent set by the Supreme Court years ago in Deshaney. This interpretation of Deshaney, however, is no longer valid in light of the growing number of sexual misconduct cases involving educational institutions. Strictly applying Deshaney encourages schools to place their interests higher than the security of their students. In …

Why Insurance Contracts Might Be The Trick To Police Reform, John F. Preis
Why Insurance Contracts Might Be The Trick To Police Reform, John F. Preis
Law Faculty Publications
How do lawsuits deter misconduct? That is an issue that Professor Joanna Schwartz has written about before, and her latest article on the topic, How Governments Pay: Lawsuits, Budgets and Police Reform, could not be more timely. Over the past year, our county has witnessed dramatic instances of police abuse and the public is understandably demanding reform. Schwartz’s terrific article explains why civil rights actions may fail to instigate reform, and suggests how insurance contracts, of all things, can play a role in fixing this problem.
Diversity Without Integration, Kevin Woodson
Diversity Without Integration, Kevin Woodson

The de facto racial segregation pervasive at colleges and universities across the country undermines a necessary precondition for the diversity benefits embraced by the Court in Grutter — the requirement that students partake in high-quality interracial interactions and social relationships with one another. This disjuncture between Grutter’s vision of universities as sites of robust cross-racial exchange and the reality of racial separation should be of great concern, not just because of its potential constitutional implications for affirmative action but also because it reifies racial hierarchy and reinforces inequality. Drawing from an extensive body of social science research, this article explains …

Expanding The Core: Pregnancy Discrimination Law As It Approaches Full Term, Joanna L. Grossman
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
The advocates behind the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) of 1978 had one very specific mission: to override the Supreme Court’s 1976 decision in General Electric v. Gilbert, in which it had curiously held that pregnancy discrimination had nothing to do with gender and was thus not a form of actionable sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Court was not acting on a blank slate; it had used the same reasoning two years earlier to hold, in Geduldig v. Aiello, that pregnancy discrimination was not sex discrimination for equal protection purposes and therefore was …

Everyone has an opinion, from President Obama to Matthew McConaughey, about the Washington football team name. This Article comprehensively analyzes the legal and social issues surrounding the mascot controversy. I focus my inquiry on the interaction of trademark law and Indian law. I offer three primary contributions in this Article. First, the current mainstream conception of harm caused by the team name is subjective, and I argue that the harm caused by the team name and logo is objective, testable, and demonstrable. Psychological research shows that these images harm Native people. Second, the remedies offered by the Lanham Act are …

Same-Sex Families And Adoption Discrimination Post Marriage Equality, Joel Viramontes-Gallegos
Same-Sex Families And Adoption Discrimination Post Marriage Equality, Joel Viramontes-Gallegos
Public Interest Law Reporter
With the major judicial holding of Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court of the United States legally recognized same sex-marriage. Advocates of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community celebrated in the granting of what many deemed a fundamental right. Now, with the ability to freely marry, same-sex couples are looking to grow their family through adoption, with some adoption agencies seeing a slight increase in upwards of 700 applicants a month. This article will address the legal challenges, and proposed solutions, to expanding American same-sex couples' legal rights to adopt children outside of the United States.

Solitary Confinement Banned In Federal Juvenile System, Bethany Dixon
Solitary Confinement Banned In Federal Juvenile System, Bethany Dixon
Public Interest Law Reporter
In January, President Obama banned solitary confinement - the confinement of a prisoner in a cell for virtually the entire day without environmental stimulation and limited opportunity for social interaction - for juveniles in the federal prison system. In his announcement, he stated that solitary confinement has been overused and has the potential to cause tremendous psychological consequences. His decision came after a review by the Justice Department. The report stated that the practice of solitary confinement reduces the chances that a prisoner can be eventually rehabilitated to society. This article will examine the anticipated impact of the President's executive …
