Achieving The Promise Of Assistive Technology: Why Assistive Technology Evaluations Are Essential For Compliance With The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, Alexandra Abend Feb 2017

Achieving The Promise Of Assistive Technology: Why Assistive Technology Evaluations Are Essential For Compliance With The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, Alexandra Abend

Cardozo Law Review

The note advocates for a more rigorous and proactive approach to incorporating assistive technology (AT) in special education, arguing that it is essential for ensuring students with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It critiques the current legal standard established by Rowley as insufficient, calling for a higher threshold that prioritizes maximizing educational opportunities. The analysis emphasizes the importance of comprehensive AT evaluations and the need for systemic improvements to prevent procedural violations and ensure effective implementation of AT in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).


Is It Time To Pay Attention? Critiquing The Cognitive Enhancement Drug Policies And Appeals Process In United States Collegiate Sports, David Swiedler Jan 2017

Is It Time To Pay Attention? Critiquing The Cognitive Enhancement Drug Policies And Appeals Process In United States Collegiate Sports, David Swiedler

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Note examines PED use in college sports, focusing primarily on cognitive enhancing drugs as an example of a common lethal PED, and the current NCAA drug-testing regulations and disciplinary process to explore its efficiency and fairness. Then, the Note proposes changes to the NCAA protocol, specifically changes to the appeals process for student-athletes who fail drug tests for PED use and request a review of the disciplinary actions taken against them by the NCAA.


Dispute System Design And The Global Pound Conference, Lisa Blomgren Amsler Jan 2017

Dispute System Design And The Global Pound Conference, Lisa Blomgren Amsler

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Since Roscoe Pound's famous 1906 speech to the American Bar Association on popular dissatisfaction with the administration of justice, the field of dispute resolution has taken up his cause. Frank Sander's speech at the 1976 Pound Conference marked a turning point in the field's growth and development within the United States. This symposium on its 40th Anniversary also marks a turning point: the globalization of alternative or appropriate dispute resolution ("ADR") in all its forms, in person and online, within and across national boundaries.


Consent Confusion, Aya Gruber Dec 2016

Consent Confusion, Aya Gruber

Cardozo Law Review

The slogans are ubiquitous: "Only 'Yes' Means 'Yes"'" "Got Consent?", "Consent is Hot, Assault is Not!" Clear consent is the rule, but the meaning of sexual consent is far from clear. The current state of confusion is evident in the numerous competing views about what constitutes mental agreement (grudging acceptance or eager desire?) and what comprises performative consent (passive acquiescence or an enthusiastic "yes"?). This paper seeks to clear up the consent confusion. It charts the contours of the sexual consent framework, categorizes different definitions of affirmative consent, and critically describes arguments for and against affirmative consent. Today's widespread uncertainty …


Protecting The Free-Range Kid: Recalibrating Parents' Rights And The Best Interest Of The Child, David Pimentel Oct 2016

Protecting The Free-Range Kid: Recalibrating Parents' Rights And The Best Interest Of The Child, David Pimentel

Cardozo Law Review

The article argues that free-range parenting, a child-rearing philosophy emphasizing independence and autonomy for children, is increasingly under attack by legal and child protective systems despite its benefits. While the Supreme Court has recognized parents' fundamental liberty interests in raising their children, these rights are often unenforced in cases involving free-range parents. The article contends that state interventions in such cases frequently fail to meet the strict scrutiny required by the Constitution, undermining parental autonomy and family integrity.

Leaked Memo To West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen From Major Consuelo Antoinette Martinez Regarding The "Raised Black Female Fist" Old Corps Photograph Incident, Yxta Maya Murray Jan 2016

Leaked Memo To West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen From Major Consuelo Antoinette Martinez Regarding The "Raised Black Female Fist" Old Corps Photograph Incident, Yxta Maya Murray

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

This satire responds to the recent United States Military Academy ("USMA" or "West Point') Investigation sixteen African American female cadets who took a photograph of themselves holding up their fists. This work of legal analysis and of the imagination takes the form of an investigatory memo written by afictional Latina West Point official to the (very real) West Point Superintendent Lieutenant General Robert Caslen. In it, I study the legal underpinnings for the investigation, which center on certain Department ofDefense regulations forbidding political activity on the part of military service members. I reveal the race and gender absurdity that cuts …


Pregnancy Discrimination Under Tide Ix: Compliance Concerns At Law Schools, Liani Balasuriya Jan 2016

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.


A Genesis Of Conflict: The Zero-Sum Mindset, Jonathan R. Cohen Jan 2016

A Genesis Of Conflict: The Zero-Sum Mindset, Jonathan R. Cohen

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Parties in conflict often operate under the assumption that for one party to win, the other party must lose. This concept, known as the "zero-sum mindset, " can lead to undesirable results, both because it can make disputes harder to resolve and because people holding such beliefs are more likely to get into conflicts to begin with. Over the past several decades, legal educators specializing in dispute resolution have worked hard to challenge that mindset. This task is not simple, for framing conflict in zero-sum terms has very deep cultural roots tracing back at least to the Biblical stories in …

Time To Pay College Athletes? Why The O'Bannon Decision Makes Pay-For-Play Ripe For Mediation, Andrew Steckler Jan 2016

Time To Pay College Athletes? Why The O'Bannon Decision Makes Pay-For-Play Ripe For Mediation, Andrew Steckler

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Between the mounting pressure of public opinion, and continuing litigation in which various plaintiffs are seeking to take advantage of the player-friendly language in O'Bannon, the power dynamic in college athletics is shifting back towards the players. The previously uneven playing field is leveling. This Note examines how to inject mediation into the "pay-for-play" debate to better serve the interests of the NCAA, the major conferences (Big 10, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Pac-12), and the student-athletes in the wake of O'Bannon. While litigation was necessary to start the process, ultimately, it will be up to the NCAA …


"Boys Will Be Boys, And Girls Will Get Raped": How Public School Dress Codes Foster Modern Day Rape Culture, Stephan Wah Jan 2016

"Boys Will Be Boys, And Girls Will Get Raped": How Public School Dress Codes Foster Modern Day Rape Culture, Stephan Wah

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that public school dress codes perpetuate rape culture by disproportionately targeting female students, reinforcing patriarchal norms, and contributing to gender-based discrimination. These dress codes, often justified as preventing distractions, instead shame girls and place the responsibility of boys' behavior on them, thereby normalizing the objectification of women and supporting systemic sexism.


Back Down To Bullying? The Detrimental Effects Of Zero Tolerance Policies On Bullied Adolescents, Devon L. Disiena Jan 2016

Back Down To Bullying? The Detrimental Effects Of Zero Tolerance Policies On Bullied Adolescents, Devon L. Disiena

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note critiques zero tolerance policies in schools, arguing that they disproportionately harm bullied adolescents by failing to consider their circumstances, leading to unjust disciplinary actions and discouraging victims from seeking help. It advocates for legislative reforms, particularly in New York, to include self-defense as a mitigating factor in disciplinary decisions.

Evaluating Opportunity In College Sports (Title Ix), Brandon Kai Golden Jan 2016

Evaluating Opportunity In College Sports (Title Ix), Brandon Kai Golden

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note critiques the current interpretation and application of Title IX in college athletics, particularly the Three-Part Test used by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). It argues that the test's focus on proportionality often leads universities to cut men's sports to achieve gender balance, which undermines the broader goal of gender equality. The author proposes a more nuanced approach, advocating for sport-specific evaluations and the elimination of the Contact Sports Exception to better align Title IX compliance with its intended purpose of preventing discrimination.

Unrwa And The Convention On The Rights Of The Child: Who Is Responsible For Violations In Education?, Alexandra M.C. Douglas Jan 2015

Unrwa And The Convention On The Rights Of The Child: Who Is Responsible For Violations In Education?, Alexandra M.C. Douglas

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that the Palestinian Authority's curriculum, used in UNRWA schools, violates the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) by promoting a culture of violence, martyrdom, and jihad, rather than fostering respect for human rights, peace, and tolerance. It contends that donor countries, particularly the U.S. and E.U., bear responsibility for these violations due to their significant funding of UNRWA and the extraterritorial obligations under the CRC. The note proposes conditioning future funding on the adoption of a neutral education system to ensure compliance with the CRC.

The International Legal Status Of International Non-Governmental Organizations: The Century-Long Normative Debate And Its Future Prospects, Rephael Ben-Ari Oct 2014

The International Legal Status Of International Non-Governmental Organizations: The Century-Long Normative Debate And Its Future Prospects, Rephael Ben-Ari

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The legal status of international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) remains unresolved despite their growing influence in global politics. Over the past century, various proposals and frameworks have attempted to define INGOs' legal personality and legitimacy, but these efforts have been criticized for being either overly simplistic or politically unattainable. The article argues that while INGOs wield significant power and legitimacy through lobbying, public mobilization, and operational activities, their lack of formal international legal personality leaves their position ambiguous. The analysis highlights the need for a systematic evaluation of past efforts to inform future attempts at establishing a coherent legal framework for …
