Deconstructing Gender, Joan C. Williams Feb 1989

Deconstructing Gender, Joan C. Williams

Michigan Law Review

I start out, as have many others, from the deep split among American feminists between "sameness" and "difference." The driving force behind the mid-twentieth-century resurgence of American feminism was an insistence on the fundamental similarity of men and women and, hence, their essential equality.

I begin in Part I by challenging the widely influential description of gender advocated by Carol Gilligan. While Part I challenges the description of gender differences offered by Gilligan feminists, it does not deny the existence of gender differences. The chief strength of the feminism of difference is its challenge to what have been called male …


Criminal Law - Battered Woman Syndrome: The Killing Of A Passive Victim - A Perfect Defense Or A Perfect Crime? - State V. Norman, Jeffrey M. Cutler Jan 1989

Criminal Law - Battered Woman Syndrome: The Killing Of A Passive Victim - A Perfect Defense Or A Perfect Crime? - State V. Norman, Jeffrey M. Cutler

Campbell Law Review

This Note will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the decision in State v. Norman, and will discuss whether this ruling provides solutions or further problems for the legal system in this area of controversy. In scrutinizing what has been labeled the "battered spouse syndrome," the legal profession must answer a question. Is the use of the syndrome creating a perfect defense or is it opening the door to the perfect crime?

Webster V. Reproductive Health Services: Do Legislative Declarations That Life Begins At Conception Violate The Establishment Clause?, Dr. Robert L. Maddox, Blaine Bortnick Jan 1989

Webster V. Reproductive Health Services: Do Legislative Declarations That Life Begins At Conception Violate The Establishment Clause?, Dr. Robert L. Maddox, Blaine Bortnick

Campbell Law Review

This article contends that the Missouri legislative statement is a theologically derived finding that personhood begins at the moment of conception. Such an inherently theological and controversial determination violates a core purpose of the establishment clause of the first amendment, the absolute prohibition against government preference of one religious sect or denomination over another and the placing of the state's imprimatur on a particular religious dogma. What follows is a synopsis of the religious debate over whether human life begins at conception. Next is a discussion of the statute in light of this debate in the context of establishment clause …

Legal Education As Political Consciousness-Raising Or Paving The Road To Hell, Richard F. Devlin Frsc Jan 1989

Legal Education As Political Consciousness-Raising Or Paving The Road To Hell, Richard F. Devlin Frsc

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

The Journal of Legal Education did all legal educators a great service when it published "Women in Legal Education-Pedagogy, Law, Theory, and Practice," a symposium that highlights feminist criticisms of, innovations in, and desiderata for legal education. The contributors challenge some of our deepest convictions about what it means to be a law teacher. Appropriately, all the contributors are women. It is they who have experienced most keenly-and have been harmed by the gendered nature of the legal educational process. The gendered nature of legal education is not, however, a "women's only" issue; it is not solely "their problem," "their …
