Concluding Remarks - Making Women Visible: Setting An Agenda For The Twenty-First Century, Berta E. Hernández-Truyol
UF Law Faculty Publications
The Women's Rights as International Human Rights Symposium (Symposium), sponsored by the International Women's Human Rights Project of the Center for Law and Public Policy at St. John's University, focused on the roles played by rules of law and by the conflation of economic, social, political, religious, cultural, and historic forces in the marginalization of women in the public and private sectors in both the international and domestic systems. The traditional exclusion of women from the articulation, development, implementation, and enforcement of rights has rendered gender issues invisible and thereby shielded gender-based abuses from much needed scrutiny. The flawed public/private …

This summary constitutes my Final Report to the Conference on the International Protection of Reproductive Rights (the "Conference") jointly sponsored by the Women & International Law Program at the Washington College of Law of the American University and the Women in the Law Project of the International Human Rights Law Group. The Conference focused on issues that affect the role of women in society and the role played by rules of law in defining and marginalizing women's existence in society. The Conference goals included the reformulation of the international human rights construct to advance and implement women's rights, particularly women's …

Stand By Your Man?: Legal Protection For Wives Who Charge The Family Home To Secure Their Husbands' Business Debts, Belinda Fehlberg
Stand By Your Man?: Legal Protection For Wives Who Charge The Family Home To Secure Their Husbands' Business Debts, Belinda Fehlberg
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the legal protections for wives in England who charge the family home as security for their husbands' business debts, focusing on the challenges in balancing private family dynamics with third-party creditor rights. It critiques the limited protection offered by the law, particularly through the lens of the House of Lords' rulings in Barclays Bank v. O'Brien and CIBC Mortgages v. Pitt. The analysis highlights the tension between protecting vulnerable wives and maintaining the viability of the family home as collateral for business loans.

The Marital Rape Exemption: Evolution To Extinction, Lalenya Weintraub Siegel
The Marital Rape Exemption: Evolution To Extinction, Lalenya Weintraub Siegel
Cleveland State Law Review
It is the position of this Note that true equality between women and men can never exist until every state has completely abolished the marital rape exemption. This abolishment would give every woman, married or unmarried, the freedom to control her own body. The purpose of this Note is to encourage legislators, and those who influence them across the United States, to complete the abolishment of the marital rape exemption. Part II of this Note presents an analysis of the common law origins and legal justifications for the marital exemption. Part III examines the progressive groundbreaking states which have set …
Metaphors Matter: How Images Of Battle, Sports And Sex Shape The Adversary System, Elizabeth G. Thornburg
Metaphors Matter: How Images Of Battle, Sports And Sex Shape The Adversary System, Elizabeth G. Thornburg
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Metaphors are not pretty figures of speech; they affect the way people within cultures perceive reality. It is therefore significant that the metaphors most commonly used for the adversary system center on war and sports. This tends to over-emphasize the competitive aspects of litigation and disguise opportunities for more cooperative behavior. This article collects and analyzes those metaphors, and discusses the reasons for their powerful hold on legal culture. It also considers some of the negative effects of the metaphorical system and speculates about whether we could find and nurture alternative metaphors.

Fighting Domestic Violence In The Nation’S Capital, Deborah Epstein
Fighting Domestic Violence In The Nation’S Capital, Deborah Epstein
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Every year, in the District of Columbia alone, the Metropolitan Police Department receives more than 18,000 calls for help from victims of domestic violence, and more than 2,500 battered women bring legal actions requesting protection from their abusers. Thousands of other cases go unreported, either because the victims are too afraid of their batterers to report the violence, or because they do not know how to obtain relief to which they are entitled.
His And Her Tort Reform: Gender Injustice In Disguise, Thomas Koenig, Michael Rustad
His And Her Tort Reform: Gender Injustice In Disguise, Thomas Koenig, Michael Rustad
Washington Law Review
This Article is an inquiry into the gendered nature of tort remedies. Modem tort law provides increased protection for injuries suffered by women. Drawing upon a national study of punitive damages in products liability and medical malpractice, Professors Koenig and Rustad argue that tort remedies are bifurcated into "his" and "her" tort worlds based upon gender roles. Nearly half of the punitive damages verdicts awarded to women stemmed from injuries caused by household consumer products and dangerously defective drugs or medical devices. In contrast, the punitive damages awarded to males arose from accidents involving industrial and farm machinery, asbestos, chemicals, …

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.
A Bad Marriage: Jewish Divorce And The First Amendment, Paul Finkelman
A Bad Marriage: Jewish Divorce And The First Amendment, Paul Finkelman
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the legal and religious challenges faced by observant Jewish women unable to remarry due to their husbands' refusal to grant a "get," a religious divorce document, even after obtaining a civil divorce. It argues that state intervention to enforce the issuance of a get, such as through New York's Get Law, violates the First Amendment's establishment and free exercise clauses by entangling government with religious matters. The author advocates for solutions within the Jewish community, emphasizing the need to balance individual rights with religious freedom without government interference.

Boxing Women: Regulation, Women And Mental Health, Cate Hemingway
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article argues that the legal and psychiatric systems collaboratively categorize women who offend as either "mad" or "bad," failing to address underlying social issues. It examines how these systems pathologize women's behavior, using examples like pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) and battered women's syndrome (BWS) as legal defenses, which often reinforce harmful stereotypes rather than providing meaningful solutions.

First And Last Chance: Looking For Lesbians In California's Fifties Bar Cases, Joan W. Howarth
First And Last Chance: Looking For Lesbians In California's Fifties Bar Cases, Joan W. Howarth
Scholarly Works
Do all of us who choose members of our own sex as objects of desire and as sexual partners share some meaningful common identity, such as “homosexual,” “gay” or perhaps “queer”? The classifications “homosexual” and “gay” claim for themselves just that kind of inclusiveness; that is, that the gay world includes people of all races, all classes and any possible gender identity. You, me, James Baldwin, Gertrude Stein, J. Edgar Hoover: we are all gay together. In this way “homosexual” or “gay” is a generic term, like, for example, “human being.” But we know that the alleged inclusiveness masks just …
