Toward Mythos And Mythology: Applying A Feminist Critique To Legal Education To Effectuate A Socialization Of Both Sexes In Law School Classrooms, Pollybeth Proctor
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article critiques the current state of legal education and the legal profession, arguing that they suffer from a decline in ethical standards, public service, and empathy. It proposes a feminist-inspired reform agenda to address these issues by incorporating values such as collaboration, context, emotions, ethics, and empathy into legal training. The analysis highlights the limitations of traditional teaching methods, particularly the Socratic method, which fosters an adversarial and narrow approach to legal reasoning. The article advocates for a balanced approach that integrates both rational and emotional intelligence to prepare holistic practitioners who prioritize justice and service.

Prosecuting Teenage Parents Under Fornication Statutes: A Constitutionally Suspect Legal Solution To The Social Problem Of Teenage Pregnancy, Juhi Mehta
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note argues that the constitutional right to privacy, as established by precedent, protects individuals' decisions regarding childbearing and sexual activity.

The analysis emphasizes the need for policies addressing teen pregnancy that prioritize education, access to contraception, and legal reforms over punitive measures.
The Young Women's Leadership School: A Viable Alternative To Traditional Coeducational Public Schools, Erin A. Mcgrath
The Young Women's Leadership School: A Viable Alternative To Traditional Coeducational Public Schools, Erin A. Mcgrath
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note argues that single-sex education is a beneficial and constitutional alternative to traditional coeducational programs, using the Young Women's Leadership School as a prime example. It contends that such schools address past discrimination and provide tailored educational environments that enhance academic performance and self-esteem, particularly for underprivileged girls. The analysis emphasizes that single-sex education can meet legal standards under Title IX and Equal Protection scrutiny, as demonstrated by the Leadership School's compliance with regulatory requirements and its focus on remedying historical inequities.
Child Care: The Forgotten Tax Deduction, Efrem Z. Fischer
Child Care: The Forgotten Tax Deduction, Efrem Z. Fischer
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
This Note argues that the current deductions for child care expenses under the Internal Revenue Code are insufficient and inequitable, particularly for secondary earners, usually women. It proposes replacing the existing system with a higher deduction mechanism, such as a $10,000 limit per child, indexed for inflation, with a phaseout for higher incomes. The current system fails to account for the true costs of child care, exacerbates the marriage penalty, and discourages labor force participation among secondary earners. The proposed reform aims to address these issues by providing a more substantial and equitable tax benefit.

The Mark Of Cain: No Second Chance For Teachers Convicted Of Sex Offenses Against Students, Eric J. Kuperman
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The author emphasizes the need to protect children from sexual predators in educational settings, highlighting the failure of schools and courts to effectively address the issue.
