Judicial Selection As It Relates To Gender Equality On The Bench, Adam Goldstein
Judicial Selection As It Relates To Gender Equality On The Bench, Adam Goldstein
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the relationship between judicial selection methods and gender equality on the bench, arguing that merit selection does not necessarily lead to greater gender diversity compared to other methods like appointments or elections. Despite claims that merit-based systems promote diversity, empirical evidence suggests that elected judges may achieve comparable or greater gender representation.

Confronting "Unwelcomeness" From The Outside: Using Case Theory To Tell The Stories Of Sexually-Harassed Women, Margaret Moore Jackson
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

It proposes using case theory and storytelling to counter these biases, framing clients' stories in ways that preserve their dignity and challenge stereotypes.

Battling Breast Cancer: New York's Laws Are Not Enough, Tara Arschin
Battling Breast Cancer: New York's Laws Are Not Enough, Tara Arschin
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note argues that New York State should mandate insurance coverage for participation in Phase II and Phase III clinical trials for experimental breast cancer treatments, such as HDCABMT, to address gaps in current law and ensure access to potentially life-saving therapies. While New York has progressive laws on breast cancer awareness and treatment rights, its approach to experimental treatment coverage remains inadequate compared to states like California and Massachusetts. The note advocates for legal reforms to eliminate the need for external appeals and reduce litigation, ensuring consistent and equitable access to clinical trials.
A Moratorium On Intersex Surgeries?: Law, Science, Identity, And Bioethics At The Crossroads, Laura D. Hermer
A Moratorium On Intersex Surgeries?: Law, Science, Identity, And Bioethics At The Crossroads, Laura D. Hermer
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article critiques proposals to legally restrict cosmetic genital surgeries on intersex children, arguing that such bans are premature and counterproductive. It advocates for informed consent and caution, emphasizing the need for comprehensive information and support for parents rather than outright prohibition. The author contends that current data do not conclusively show these surgeries are ineffective or unethical and that banning them could hinder scientific research and set problematic precedents for other medical decisions.

The Feminist Battle For Citizenship: Between Combat Duties And Conscientious Objection, Daphne Barak-Erez
The Feminist Battle For Citizenship: Between Combat Duties And Conscientious Objection, Daphne Barak-Erez
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the legal and feminist struggles surrounding women's inclusion in military service, arguing that such inclusion is central to achieving full citizenship and equality. It critiques the differential treatment of men and women in military service, highlighting how legal frameworks perpetuate gendered roles and undermine civic equality. While legal victories like United States v. Virginia and *Miller* have advanced women’s rights, they have not fully dismantled structural barriers to equality. The article emphasizes the tension between feminist goals of equality and critiques of militarism and patriarchal institutions.
"We're Here To Protect Democracy. We're Not Here To Practice It": The U.S. Military's Involvement In Trafficking In Persons And Suggestions For The Future, Jorene Soto
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article argues that the U.S. military has historically been complicit in human trafficking, particularly through its involvement in prostitution near overseas bases, and that current legal and policy measures fail to adequately address this issue. While laws like the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) provide some framework, enforcement and penalties are insufficient to deter military personnel from contributing to trafficking. The article calls for stronger legal policies, enhanced education, and stricter penalties to combat this issue effectively.

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

Looking At Trafficking Through A New Lens, Nilanjana Ray
Looking At Trafficking Through A New Lens, Nilanjana Ray
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article critiques existing frameworks for understanding and combating human trafficking, arguing that they are overly narrow and fail to address the root structural causes of trafficking, such as poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunities. It advocates for a more comprehensive approach that considers trafficking as a symptom of broader societal and economic issues, requiring global action to address these underlying conditions.
From Legally Blonde To Miss Congeniality: The Femininity Conundrum, Anna M. Archer
From Legally Blonde To Miss Congeniality: The Femininity Conundrum, Anna M. Archer
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article argues that popular movies like Legally Blonde and Miss Congeniality perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes by depicting women as needing to conform to traditional notions of femininity or masculinity to succeed in male-dominated professions. These portrayals contradict the protections provided by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex. The article contends that such films send the wrong message by suggesting women must change themselves to fit societal expectations rather than challenging those expectations.

Epa's Mercury Cap And Trade Rule: An Environmental Injustice For Women, Rachel Kalman
Epa's Mercury Cap And Trade Rule: An Environmental Injustice For Women, Rachel Kalman
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note critiques the EPA's Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR), arguing that it prioritizes economic interests over public health, particularly harming women of childbearing age and vulnerable populations. The rule's reliance on a cap and trade system, delayed implementation, and flawed risk assessment models underestimate mercury exposure risks, disproportionately affecting subsistence communities and low-income groups. The analysis advocates for stricter emissions standards under the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) framework and greater consideration of gender-specific health impacts in regulatory decisions.

Does Title Ix Work After School? California Applies The Three Part Test To Municipal Sports, Aaron J. Hershtal
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the extension of Title IX gender equity requirements to municipal sports programs through California's AB 2404, addressing disparities in resource allocation and participation opportunities for girls. It argues that while AB 2404 provides critical protections and opportunities, its implementation faces challenges, including budget constraints and potential unintended consequences for male athletes. The analysis highlights the importance of addressing systemic gender discrimination in sports and the need for policymakers to balance equity with practical considerations.

Cultural, Economic And Legal Factors Underlying Trafficking In Thailand And Their Impact On Women And Girls From Burma, Christa Foster Crawford
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the complex factors underlying human trafficking in Thailand, particularly focusing on the trafficking of women and girls from Burma. It argues that while Thailand has made efforts to address the issue, the root causes, including cultural attitudes, economic interests, and legal frameworks, remain unaddressed. The analysis highlights the shift in trafficking patterns from Thai women to Burmese migrants due to improved socio-economic conditions for Thai nationals and worsening conditions in Burma. The article emphasizes the need for comprehensive solutions addressing both supply and demand factors, including legal reforms and policy changes.

The Cultural, Political, And Legal Climate Behind The Fight To Stop Trafficking In Women: William J. Clinton's Legacy To Women's Rights, Susan Tiefenbrun
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the Clinton Administration's significant contributions to advancing women's rights, particularly through landmark legislation such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA). These efforts, including the appointment of women to high office, reflect a cultural shift toward valuing women's roles and protecting them from exploitation. The TVPA, reauthorized under subsequent administrations, has had a lasting domestic and international impact in combating human trafficking and supporting victims. The article highlights the importance of legislative and judicial approaches in addressing violence against women and promoting gender equality.

Reconceptualising Female Trafficking: The Inhuman Trade In Women, Alison Cole
Reconceptualising Female Trafficking: The Inhuman Trade In Women, Alison Cole
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article argues that female trafficking must be reconceptualized under international criminal law as a crime against humanity to establish a uniform legal framework for combating this global issue. It critiques existing international approaches for lacking coherence and enforcement, emphasizing the need for a clear definition and standardized measures to address the severity of trafficking. The UN Trafficking Protocol, while authoritative, leaves significant discretion to states, resulting in varied domestic policies that hinder effective international cooperation. By classifying female trafficking as a crime against humanity, the article proposes a more robust legal basis for universal jurisdiction and individual liability, aligning …
