Suffering Without Suffrage: Why Felon Disenfranchisement Constitutes Vote Denial Under Section Two Of The Voting Rights Act, Matthew E. Feinberg
Suffering Without Suffrage: Why Felon Disenfranchisement Constitutes Vote Denial Under Section Two Of The Voting Rights Act, Matthew E. Feinberg
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
This article explores state felon disenfranchisement laws and proposes a new way for felons to challenge the legality of excluding them from the democratic process. Despite the seemingly explicit grant of authority in the Fourteenth Amendment to exclude felons from the voting process, this article posits that the Voting Rights Act provides an alternative, and more attractive, vehicle for felons to secure the right to vote. This article examines the current Circuit split on whether the Voting Rights Act even allows for or contains a cause of action to challenge felon disenfranchisement laws. Concluding that it does, the article moves …
American Muslim Minorities: The New Human Rights Struggle, Ashley Moore
American Muslim Minorities: The New Human Rights Struggle, Ashley Moore
Human Rights & Human Welfare
The ramifications of the attacks of September 11, 2001 are felt throughout the United States. However, no minority community is as deeply affected as the American-Muslim minority. Since the attacks on the World Trade Center, Muslims residing in the United States have experienced violations of economic and political liberties, as well as ongoing social discrimination. Media stereotypes and government legislation continually exacerbate these human rights abuses and entrench institutional, social, and economic discrimination deeper in American society. At the heart of this discrimination are clear misunderstandings about Islam and those who practice the faith. In an effort to combat these …
Combating Discrimination Against The Roma In Europe: Why Current Strategies Aren’T Working And What Can Be Done, Erica Rosenfield
Combating Discrimination Against The Roma In Europe: Why Current Strategies Aren’T Working And What Can Be Done, Erica Rosenfield
Human Rights & Human Welfare
In the summer of 2010, the forced expulsion of many Roma from Western to Eastern Europe captured headlines and world attention, yet this practice simply represented the latest manifestation of anti-Roma sentiment in Europe. Indeed, the Roma—numbering over ten million across Europe, making them the continent’s largest minority—face discrimination in housing, education, healthcare, employment, and law enforcement; widespread prejudice against this group shows no evidence of receding. There is, however, certainly no shortage of national and supranational policies aiming to promote inclusion and equality for the Roma.

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Intellectual property scholars have written extensively against expanding the scope of intellectual property laws, using social justice and distributive justice principles to support their arguments. A typical argument attacks broad adoption and enforcement of copyright laws that prevent access to information and therefore knowledge, or broad patent protection that reduces access to medicines and other important technologies. In recent years, a few scholars have begun to suggest that certain areas of intellectual property law—primarily copyright—may play a positive role in social justice. These arguments are founded on views of social and distributive justice that consider personal empowerment and freedom to …
Equality Behind Bars: Improving The Legal Protections Of Transgender Inmates In The California Prison Systems, Angela Okamura
Equality Behind Bars: Improving The Legal Protections Of Transgender Inmates In The California Prison Systems, Angela Okamura
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
This note examines the failure of federal and California law to protect perhaps its most vulnerable population: transgender prisoners. Although California expresses its concern for the safety and well-being of transgender individuals in other areas of the law, rights for transgender inmates get left in the dust. Transgender inmates are disproportionately likely to be sexually abused in prison, and their safety is not adequately assured under the current state of federal or California law. Currently, when classifying and housing prisoners, officials of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("CDCR") are only required to look at factors that point to …
