Judicial Selection And Democratic Theory: Demand, Supply, And Life Tenure, Judith Resnik Jan 2005

Judicial Selection And Democratic Theory: Demand, Supply, And Life Tenure, Judith Resnik

Cardozo Law Review

How ought a democracy select its judges? Critics in Canada, England, and Wales invoke the democratic values of accountability and transparency to call for a diminution in prime ministerial control over judicial appointments. In the United States, Article III of the Constitution's text directs that the President nominate - with the advice and consent of the Senate - life-tenured federal judges. Bitter conflicts about particular nominees have produced many proposals for changes of that system. And in those states that rely on various forms of judicial election, concerns focus on funding and campaigning. In short, both globally and locally, democracies …

The Death Penalty: Conceptual And Empirical Issues, Jason Borenstein May 2004

The Death Penalty: Conceptual And Empirical Issues, Jason Borenstein

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

Supreme Court Narratives On Equality And Gender Discrimination In Employment: 1971-2002, Vicki Lens

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the Supreme Court's evolving approach to gender discrimination in the workplace, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s, as it grappled with the intersection of formal and substantive equality. The Court's decisions reflected the influence of the feminist movement and broader societal shifts, addressing issues such as pregnancy-related discrimination, sexual harassment, and workplace stereotypes. While the Court often invalidated discriminatory practices, its rulings also revealed tensions in balancing equal treatment with competing interests, such as military preparedness or employer liability. The analysis highlights how the Court's narrative on gender equality was shaped by legal doctrines, cultural values, and …


Lawrence V. Texas: When "Profound And Deep Convictions" Collide With Liberty Interests, Nancy J. Knauer Jan 2004

Lawrence V. Texas: When "Profound And Deep Convictions" Collide With Liberty Interests, Nancy J. Knauer

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned Bowers v. Hardwick and invalidated a Texas sodomy law criminalizing same-sex intimacy. The author argues that Lawrence not only advanced individual liberty interests but also marked a significant shift in the legal and cultural recognition of homosexuality, moving beyond earlier frameworks that criminalized or marginalized gay individuals. The decision reflects broader societal changes in understanding same-sex relationships and challenges the use of moral disapproval as a basis for legal restrictions on consensual adult conduct.

The Immense Rumor, Peter Goodrich Jan 2004

The Immense Rumor, Peter Goodrich

Articles

The article explores the intersection of friendship and law, particularly through the lens of Jacques Derrida's theory, which posits that the concept of friendship is inherently paradoxical and shaped by legal and theological frameworks. Derrida argues that the "immense rumor" of friendship reflects a historical inability to articulate amity publicly, leading to a repression of friendship in the public sphere. This repression is rooted in the humanist tradition, which draws from Graeco-Roman and Judeo-Christian influences, emphasizing the primacy of political or communal bonds over individual friendships. The analysis reveals that legal discourses have imposed prohibitions on the role of friendship, …

The analysis advocates for the creation of a Social Security Court, modeled after the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, to enhance uniformity, reduce delays, and alleviate the burden on federal courts.

The article critically examines New York’s Judiciary Law Article 19, which governs contempt powers, highlighting its complexities, contradictions, and need for reform. It argues that the law conflates criminal and civil contempt, creating confusion in procedure and substance, and that the judiciary’s inherent power to define crimes undermines legislative authority. Additionally, the article addresses the intersection of contempt law with constitutional rights, particularly the Sixth Amendment and news media privileges, emphasizing the need for clarity and modernization of the statute.
