Traditional Knowledge, Cultural Expression, And The Siren's Call Of Property, Justin Hughes
Traditional Knowledge, Cultural Expression, And The Siren's Call Of Property, Justin Hughes
Articles
Discussions on international legal norms for the protection of TK/TCE have, in their contemporary form, been ongoing since the late 1990s. In that time, our understanding of key issues for a workable system—subject matter, beneficiaries, rights, or protections—have advanced little, if at all. Indeed, as Michael Brown has observed, “vexing questions of origins and boundaries . . . are commonly swept under the rug in public discussions.” Yet even if all those questions were settled, we also need a clear justification or justifications for a new form of intellectual property on the world stage.
Comparativist-Structural Approaches To Interpretation Of The Post-Obamacare Spending Power, Michelle Biddulph, Dwight G. Newman
Comparativist-Structural Approaches To Interpretation Of The Post-Obamacare Spending Power, Michelle Biddulph, Dwight G. Newman
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has significant implications for the federal spending power, a topic that has received limited scholarly attention. The article argues that understanding this aspect of the ACA ruling is crucial for comprehending its impact on future federal programs and legislative approaches. By examining the spending power frameworks in Canada and Australia, the article highlights how different federal systems balance central authority with regional autonomy, offering valuable lessons for the U.S. legal framework.

Proportionality And Parole, Richard A. Bierschbach
Proportionality And Parole, Richard A. Bierschbach
Articles
Commentators analyzing the Supreme Court's watershed decision in Graham v. Florida, which prohibited sentences of life without parole for juveniles convicted of nonhomicide crimes, have generally done so in substantive proportionality terms, ignoring or downplaying parole in the process. This Article challenges that approach, focusing on the intersection of proportionality and parole as a jumping-off point. Taking parole seriously makes clear that Graham is difficult to understand solely in terms of substantive proportionality concepts like individual culpability and punishment severity. Instead, the decision can be seen as establishing a rule of constitutional criminal procedure, one that links the validity of …
The Hollow Promise Of Freedom Of Conscience, Nadia N. Sawicki
The Hollow Promise Of Freedom Of Conscience, Nadia N. Sawicki
Cardozo Law Review
Two hundred years ago, Thomas Jefferson asserted that no law "ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of the civil authority." Since then, freedom of conscience has continued to be heralded as a fundamental principle of American society. Indeed, many current policy debates - most notably in the medical and military contexts - are predicated on the theory that claims of conscience are worthy of legal respect. This Article, which offers a comprehensive account of the contemporary treatment of conscience, challenges established assumptions and seeks to reframe the debate about …

Property On The Borderline: A Comparative Analysis Of The Legal Status Of Animals In Canada And The United States, Maneesha Deckha
Property On The Borderline: A Comparative Analysis Of The Legal Status Of Animals In Canada And The United States, Maneesha Deckha
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The article examines Canada's progressive stance on social issues but highlights that this progressiveness does not extend to animal rights, where Canada often lags behind the U.S. It explores legal developments challenging the traditional property status of animals, particularly in tort law and estate planning, while emphasizing that these changes are symbolic and limited to companion animals.
Planning Positivism And Planning Natural Law, Martin J. Stone
Planning Positivism And Planning Natural Law, Martin J. Stone
Articles
Scott Shapiro offers an elaboration and defense of “legal positivism,” in which the official acceptance of a plan figures as the central explanatory notion. Rich in both ambition and insight, Legality casts an edifying new light on the structure of positive law and its officialdom. As a defense of positivism, however, it exhibits the odd feature that its main claims will prove quite acceptable to the natural lawyer. Perhaps this betokens – what many have begun to suspect anyway – that our usual tests for classifying legal theories (as positivist or not) are, in the present state of discussion, no …

"She Stedfastly Accused Him In The Time Of Her Travail": Women's Words And Paternity Suits In 18th-Century Massachusetts, Kristin A. Olbertson
"She Stedfastly Accused Him In The Time Of Her Travail": Women's Words And Paternity Suits In 18th-Century Massachusetts, Kristin A. Olbertson
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the decline of women's testimony in bastardy cases in post-revolutionary Massachusetts, arguing that this shift was driven by changing gender ideologies, the Anglicization of legal procedures, and the increasing exclusion of women from authoritative roles. While women's testimony was once central to determining paternity, by the late 18th century, male jurors became the primary decision-makers, reflecting broader societal efforts to restrict women's public roles. The analysis highlights how this transition underscores the intersection of legal and cultural changes in early America.
Abandoning Women To Their Rights: What Happens When Feminist Jurisprudence Ignores Birthing Rights, Rebecca A. Spence
Abandoning Women To Their Rights: What Happens When Feminist Jurisprudence Ignores Birthing Rights, Rebecca A. Spence
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article argues that feminist jurisprudence has neglected the critical issue of birthing rights, failing to integrate them into legal scholarship and education. This omission leaves women vulnerable to violations of their autonomy and dignity during childbirth, as courts and legislatures often prioritize fetal interests and medical authority over women's rights. The article emphasizes the need for a more robust legal framework that protects women's rights to make autonomous decisions about their care, including access to midwifery and the right to refuse medical interventions.
Provocation At Face Value, Kyron J. Huigens
Provocation At Face Value, Kyron J. Huigens
Articles
To take provocation at face value is to plead and prove it as a manslaughter offense, as it is defined in most criminal codes. To do this seems to be both unnecessary and impossible. The defendant has the best access to evidence of provocation and will benefit from the proof of this partial defense, so why should he not be required to prove it? The prosecution has no incentive to prove provocation manslaughter because the definition of this offense includes a murder. Why would the prosecution, having proved a murder, set out to prove a lesser crime than the crime …

Zoning Finality: Reconceptualizing Res Judicata Doctrine In Land Use Cases, Stewart E. Sterk, Kimberly J. Brunelle
Articles
Zoning disputes provide many Americans with their only firsthand exposure to the workings of democratic government. Land use issues trigger participation because neighbors perceive the wrong kind of development as posing a double-barreled threat to the stability of the community in which they have chosen to live and to the economic value of their homes.
Joint Bank Accounts In New York: Confusion, Discrimination, And The Need For Change, Carolyn Satenberg
Joint Bank Accounts In New York: Confusion, Discrimination, And The Need For Change, Carolyn Satenberg
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The note argues that New York's legal presumption of joint tenancy in joint bank accounts disproportionately burdens same-sex couples, leading to unfair gift and estate tax implications. It advocates for reforming New York's approach to align with the Uniform Probate Code (UPC), which better reflects depositor intent and reduces discrimination. The current system, compounded by federal policies like the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), exacerbates financial and emotional hardships for same-sex couples in tax and probate matters.
Deportation Is Different, Peter L. Markowitz
Deportation Is Different, Peter L. Markowitz
Articles
Over one hundred years ago, the Supreme Court emphatically declared that deportation proceedings are civil, not criminal, in nature. As a result, none of the nearly 400,000 individuals who were deported last year enjoyed any of the constitutional protections afforded to criminal defendants under the Sixth or Eighth Amendments. Among those 400,000 were numerous detained juveniles and mentally ill individuals who, as a result of the civil designation, were forced to navigate the labyrinth of immigration law alone, without appointed counsel. Others were lawul permanent residents who had pled guilty to minor offenses upon the correct advice of counsel that …

Legal Positivism As An Idea About Morality, Martin J. Stone
Legal Positivism As An Idea About Morality, Martin J. Stone
Articles
I ask what a proper critical target for 'legal positivism' might be. I argue that utilitarian moral theory, and more generally fully directive moral theories, are unacknowledged motivations for legal positivism. Contemporary debate about 'the nature of law' is, historically speaking, much more of a footnote to utilitarianism than has been recognized.
