Chief Justice Lamer's Leadership In Feminist Times, Catherine Dauvergne Jan 2009

Chief Justice Lamer's Leadership In Feminist Times, Catherine Dauvergne

All Faculty Publications

In this paper, the author constructs a feminist retrospective on Chief Justice Antonio Lamer's career in three stages. First, she reviews the content of his written decisions from a feminist perspective. Second, she looks at his position in a number of the key decisions for feminists, and finally she looks briefly at the evolution in Chief Justice Lamer's writing about sexual assault during his time on the bench. At each stage the author aims to clearly describe her methodology and evidence relied upon, allowing readers to reach their own conclusion regarding Justice Lamer's engagement with feminist legal argument.


Making People Illegal: What Globalization Means For Migration And Law, Catherine Dauvergne Jan 2009

Making People Illegal: What Globalization Means For Migration And Law, Catherine Dauvergne

All Faculty Publications

This book examines the relationship between illegal migration and globalization. Under the pressures of globalizing forces, migration law is transformed into the last bastion of sovereignty. This explains the worldwide crackdown on extra-legal migration and informs the shape this crackdown is taking. It also means that migration law reflects key facets of globalization and addresses the central debates of globalization theory. This book looks at various migration law settings, asserting that differing but related globalization effects are discernible at each location. The ‘core samples’ interrogated in the book are drawn from refugee law, illegal labor migration, human trafficking, security issues …

We Can Do Better: The State Of Custodial Misconduct By Correctional Staff In New York, Tanyika Brime Jan 2009

We Can Do Better: The State Of Custodial Misconduct By Correctional Staff In New York, Tanyika Brime

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines a class action lawsuit filed by female inmates against the New York Department of Correctional Services (DOCS), alleging widespread sexual misconduct by correctional staff and constitutional violations. The court ultimately dismissed most claims due to procedural issues, such as failure to exhaust administrative remedies, except for one plaintiff. The analysis highlights systemic failures in addressing prison sexual abuse and advocates for comprehensive legal reforms and external oversight to protect vulnerable inmates.


Rwandan Genocide: Taking Notes From The Holocaust Reparations Movement, Yael Weitz Jan 2009

Rwandan Genocide: Taking Notes From The Holocaust Reparations Movement, Yael Weitz

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the failure to provide adequate reparations to rape victims of the Rwandan genocide, drawing parallels with the Holocaust reparations movement. It argues that while international law has advanced in recognizing rape as a grave crime, the existing mechanisms, such as the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), have failed to deliver reparations. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is proposed as a potential solution, despite jurisdictional limitations, through cooperation with the ICTR to address the urgent needs of Rwandan rape victims.


Barriers To Freedom: Continued Failure Of U.S. Immigration Laws To Offer Equal Protection To Immigrant Battered Women, Katerina Shaw Jan 2009

Barriers To Freedom: Continued Failure Of U.S. Immigration Laws To Offer Equal Protection To Immigrant Battered Women, Katerina Shaw

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that U.S. immigration laws, despite advancements made by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), continue to fail in providing equal protection and adequate relief to immigrant battered women. It highlights that these women face significant legal and non-legal barriers, including unequal treatment under VAWA, burdensome evidentiary requirements, and cultural and financial obstacles that prevent them from seeking help and escaping abusive relationships.


The Triumph Of Confucianism: How A Subjugated Legal System Is Failing A Generation Of Chinese Women And Girls, Yufan Stephanie Wang Jan 2009

The Triumph Of Confucianism: How A Subjugated Legal System Is Failing A Generation Of Chinese Women And Girls, Yufan Stephanie Wang

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the resurgence of Confucianism in China's legal system, arguing that it undermines gender equality and fails to protect the rights of women and girls despite economic reforms. It highlights how traditional Confucian values, emphasizing morality and social hierarchy, have persisted and influenced laws, leading to the subjugation of women in both legal and societal contexts.

Social Factoring The Numbers With Assisted Reproduction, Bridget J. Crawford, Lolita Buckner Inniss Jan 2009

Social Factoring The Numbers With Assisted Reproduction, Bridget J. Crawford, Lolita Buckner Inniss

Publications

In early 2009 the airwaves came alive with sensational stories about Nadya Suleman, the California mother who gave birth to octuplets conceived via assisted reproductive technology. Nadya Suleman and her octuplets are vehicles through which Americans express their anxiety about race, class and gender. Expressions of concern for the health of children, the mother's well-being, the future of reproductive medicine or the financial drain on taxpayers barely conceal deep impulses towards racism, sexism and classism. It is true that the public has had a longstanding fascination with multiple births and with large families. This is evidenced by a long history …

A 'Ho New World: Raced And Gendered Insult As Ersatz Carnival And The Corruption Of Freedom Of Expression Norms, Lolita Buckner Inniss Jan 2009

A 'Ho New World: Raced And Gendered Insult As Ersatz Carnival And The Corruption Of Freedom Of Expression Norms, Lolita Buckner Inniss

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

Carnivalization, a concept developed by literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin and later employed in broad social and cultural contexts, is the tearing down of social norms, the elimination of boundaries and the inversion of established hierarchies. It is the world turned upside down. Ersatz carnival is a pernicious, inverted form of carnival, one wherein counter discourses propounded by outsiders are appropriated by elites and frequently redeployed to silence and exclude those same outsiders. The use of the slur 'ho by gangsta' rappers in the performance of songs that articulate a vision of urban culture is an example of carnivalization. However, when …

Making Pregnancy Work: Overcoming The Pregnancy Discrimination Act's Capacity-Based Model, Joanna L. Grossman, Gillian Thomas Jan 2009

Making Pregnancy Work: Overcoming The Pregnancy Discrimination Act's Capacity-Based Model, Joanna L. Grossman, Gillian Thomas

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

This article considers the gaps and obstacles in current law faced by the pregnant woman whose job duties may conflict with pregnancy's physical effects. While there is no inherent conflict between pregnancy and work, women in physically strenuous or hazardous occupations, from nursing to law enforcement, routinely confront situations in which they are physically unable to perform aspects of their job or, though physically able, they seek to avoid certain tasks or situations because of the potential risks to maternal or fetal health. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA) broadly protects against "pregnancy discrimination," but it provides absolute rights …


Of Sweatshops And Human Subsistence: Habermas On Human Rights, David Ingram Jan 2009

Of Sweatshops And Human Subsistence: Habermas On Human Rights, David Ingram

Philosophy: Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this paper I argue that the discourse theoretic account of human rights defended by Jürgen Habermas contains a fruitful tension that is obscured by its dominant tendency to identify rights with legal claims. This weakness in Habermas’s account becomes manifest when we examine how sweatshops diminish the secure enjoyment of subsistence, which Habermas himself (in recognition of the UDHR) recognizes as a human right. Discourse theories of human rights are unique in tying the legitimacy of human rights to democratic deliberation and consensus. So construed, their specific meaning and force is the outcome of historical political struggle. However, unlike …

Foreword Symposium: Having It Our Way: Women In Maryland's Workplace Circa 2027, Margaret E. Johnson

On November 14, 2007, the University of Baltimore School of Law, the University of Maryland School of Law and the Women's Law Center of Maryland co-sponsored a symposium entitled "Having it Our Way: Women in Maryland's Workplace Circa 2027."

This distinguished group of experts and scholars present several themes: the hope of new …
