Introduction, The Sesquicentennial Of The 1848 Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention: American Women's Unfinished Quest For Legal, Economic, Political, And Social Equality, Carolyn S. Bratt
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
On July 19, 1998, America celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention. Almost three hundred women and men including Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Frederick Douglass met on that July date in 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York, for a two-day discussion of the "social, civil and religious rights of woman." At the conclusion of the meeting, sixty-eight women and thirty-two men signed their names to a Declaration of Sentiments and this country's organized women's rights movement began. The Declaration of Sentiments was the earliest, systematic, public articulation in the United States of the ideas that fuel …
Ladies In Red: Learning From America's First Female Bankrupts, Marie Stefanini Newman
Ladies In Red: Learning From America's First Female Bankrupts, Marie Stefanini Newman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Several years ago, the Honorable Joyce Bihary, a bankruptcy judge in Atlanta, Georgia, asked me3 why our country's first bankruptcy law specifically referred to debtors using “he” or “she” rather than a gender-neutral noun (such as “bankrupts”) or the male possessive pronoun “he.” Implicitly, she was also asking whether there were any women debtors under our early bankruptcy laws. Although I had read the Bankruptcy Act of 1800 more than once, I did not recollect its use of these gender-inclusive pronouns. Nor did I know why the Act employed them. Despite having given considerable thought to contemporary women in debt, …
The Politics Of Pediatric Aids, Jennifer Cooper
The Politics Of Pediatric Aids, Jennifer Cooper
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article argues that mandatory HIV testing for pregnant women is crucial to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, emphasizing that political and social barriers, rather than medical limitations, hinder effective prevention. It advocates for routine HIV screening as part of prenatal care, supported by the success of treatments like zidovudine, and addresses ethical and constitutional concerns while asserting the state's compelling interest in public health.
On The History Of Fathers' Rights And Mothers' Duty Of Care, Sibylla Flügge
On The History Of Fathers' Rights And Mothers' Duty Of Care, Sibylla Flügge
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the historical evolution of custody rights in Germany, focusing on the shift from maternal preference to increasing recognition of fathers' rights. It argues that the legal system's move toward joint custody and equal parental rights reflects broader societal changes in gender roles, while also critiquing the potential backlash against women's emancipation. The analysis highlights how improvements in fathers' legal standing have often coincided with decreased obligations for men to actively care for children, raising concerns about the practical implications for mothers and children.

Democracy And Feminism , Tracy E. Higgins
Democracy And Feminism , Tracy E. Higgins
Faculty Scholarship
Although feminist legal theory has had an important impact on most areas of legal doctrine and theory over the last two decades, its contribution to the debate over constitutional interpretation has been comparatively small. In this Article, Professor Higgins explores reasons for the limited dialogue between mainstream constitutional theory and feminist theory concerning questions of democracy, constitutionalism, and judicial review. She argues that mainstream constitutional theory tends to take for granted the capacity of the individual to make choices, leaving the social construction of those choices largely unexamined. In contrast, feminist legal theory's emphasis on the importance of constraints on …
Straying From The Path Of The Law After One Hundred Years, The, Tracy E. Higgins
Straying From The Path Of The Law After One Hundred Years, The, Tracy E. Higgins
Faculty Scholarship
What common ground can be found between modern feminist legal theory and a century-old essay advocating understanding the law from the perspective of the "bad man"? The question admits of no simple answer. Feminists, including myself, might agree with some irony that "[i]f you want to know the law and nothing else, you must look at it as a bad man" but would add that this is precisely the problem. Of course, Holmes does not use the concept of the bad man in a feminist sense to suggest that the law empowers the bad man at the expense of women. …

From Advocacy To Management In Divorce: A Women's Issue?, Mavis Maclean
From Advocacy To Management In Divorce: A Women's Issue?, Mavis Maclean
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the shift in the role of law in divorce proceedings in the U.K., arguing that divorce is increasingly moving away from legal advocacy and toward administrative and managerial processes. This transformation raises critical questions about the implications for women, particularly regarding their access to justice, financial rights, and the role of legal professionals. The article highlights the growing influence of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and the Child Support Agency (CSA), which are reshaping how divorce, child support, and property disputes are handled, often reducing the involvement of courts and lawyers.

By Reason Of Their Sex: Feminist Theory Postmodernism And Justice , Tracy E. Higgins
By Reason Of Their Sex: Feminist Theory Postmodernism And Justice , Tracy E. Higgins
Faculty Scholarship
Both the Supreme Court's jurisprudence of gender and feminist legal theory have generally assumed that some identifiable and describable category of woman exists prior to the construction of legal categories. For the Court, this woman-whose characteristics admittedly have changed over time-serves as the standard against which gendered legal classifications are measured. For feminism, her existence has served a different but equally important purpose as the subject for whom political goals are pursued. To the extent that the definitions of the category diverge, the differences among definitions are played out in feminist critiques of the Court's gender jurisprudence, and, occasionally, in …

Apostolat Juridique: Teaching Everyday Law In The Life Of Marie Lacoste Gérin-Lajoie (1867-1945), Nicholas Kasirer
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Based on a reading of archival material stored in a convent in east-end Montreal, the author describes the career of Marie Lacoste Gérin-Lajoie, a self-trained jurist who taught and wrote about law for women in convent schools, teachers' colleges, study circles, temperance union meetings and the like over a forty-year period in Quebec at the beginning of this century. Her career as a law teacher is presented as a sign of a less visible facet of the history of legal education in Quebec-beyond the formal institutions of law teaching-that was closely tied to the home and the private world of …

Reconstructing Liberty, Robin West
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
It is commonly and rightly understood in this country that our constitutional system ensures, or seeks to ensure, that individuals are accorded the greatest degree of personal, political, social, and economic liberty possible, consistent with a like amount of liberty given to others, the duty and right of the community to establish the conditions for a moral and secure collective life, and the responsibility of the state to provide for the common defense of the community against outside aggression. Our distinctive cultural and constitutional commitment to individual liberty places very real restraints on what our elected representatives can do, even …

Feminist Jurisprudence: Why Law Must Consider Women's Perspectives, Ann Juergens
Feminist Jurisprudence: Why Law Must Consider Women's Perspectives, Ann Juergens
Faculty Scholarship
A growing number of scholars are asking how the law would be different if it took women's points of view and experiences into account. Feminist Jurisprudence argues that we must look at the norms embedded in our legal system and rethink the law. It is about being inclusive of women, and of all people who differ from the norms of the law as it is today. The endeavor will necessarily shake up established relations between family, the workplace and the state. Lawyers, judges, and legislators should get ready for the changes.
