Reinventing Eugenics: Reproductive Choice And Law Reform After World War Ii, Mary Ziegler Jan 2008

Reinventing Eugenics: Reproductive Choice And Law Reform After World War Ii, Mary Ziegler

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that eugenic ideologies did not disappear from American law after World War II but instead evolved and were repackaged in response to shifting political and social norms. While the association with Nazi practices led to the decline of overtly coercive eugenic laws, eugenic principles persisted through new strategies, such as voluntary sterilization and population control initiatives. The article contends that the concept of reproductive choice became a key tool for redefining eugenic goals, allowing them to influence law and policy in more subtle ways.


Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Youth In The Juvenile Justice System: Incorporating Sexual Orientation And Gender Identity Into The Rehabilitative Process, Heather Squatriglia Jan 2008

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Youth In The Juvenile Justice System: Incorporating Sexual Orientation And Gender Identity Into The Rehabilitative Process, Heather Squatriglia

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that the juvenile justice system must integrate the sexual orientation and gender identity of LGBT youth into their rehabilitative process. It emphasizes that these youth face unique challenges, including harassment, rejection, and discrimination, which often lead to their involvement in the juvenile justice system. The system's failure to address these issues undermines its rehabilitative goals, necessitating specialized programming and support to ensure these youth can develop into healthy, contributing adults.

Restorative Justice As Internalization Of The Rule Of Law: Combining Restoration With Retribution In The Film Festen, Michal Alberstein Jan 2007

Restorative Justice As Internalization Of The Rule Of Law: Combining Restoration With Retribution In The Film Festen, Michal Alberstein

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

In this paper, I will use a film analysis to explore the potential of restorative justice processes as a more comprehensive, mature approach to the phenomenon of crime. By following the microlevel transformations within the family trial/victim-offender mediation in the film, I will try to develop a notion of law that incorporates the retributive elements into a broader framework of restoration and amendment. I will use cultural analysis as a foundation for the theoretical argument and also offer an "appropriate justice," inter-cultural formula for addressing crime in a comprehensive manner.

Judicial Selection As It Relates To Gender Equality On The Bench, Adam Goldstein Jan 2007

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.


The Restorative Justice Wager: The Promise And Hope Of A Value-Based, Dialogue-Driven Approach To Conflict Resolution For Social Healing, Howard J. Vogel Jan 2007

The Restorative Justice Wager: The Promise And Hope Of A Value-Based, Dialogue-Driven Approach To Conflict Resolution For Social Healing, Howard J. Vogel

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

In this article, I explore the deep assumptions and commitments associated with what I have called the restorative justice wager and the way in which they are embodied in restorative justice dialogue, the heart of restorative justice practice, in order to describe the important contribution that restorative justice has to offer to conventional forms of conflict resolution that have emerged in recent years. For this purpose the article is divided into three parts. Part I explores the definition of restorative justice in a criminal context and beyond in order to set up the discussion of the restorative justice wager and …

Exploding The Class Action Agency Costs Myth: The Social Utility Of Entrepreneurial Lawyers, Myriam E. Gilles, Gary B. Friedman Nov 2006

Exploding The Class Action Agency Costs Myth: The Social Utility Of Entrepreneurial Lawyers, Myriam E. Gilles, Gary B. Friedman

Articles

In this article, we challenge the traditional view that entrepreneurial plaintiffs' class action lawyers operating entirely according to their own economic self-interest serve no social utility, or worse yet, tremendous disutility. In seeking to counter this notion, we try to show that the agency costs problem long derided in class action practice is overblown: in the majority of small-claims class actions, there is no legitimate reason to care whether class members are being undercompensated (or compensated at all), nor any reason to worry that entrepreneurial lawyers are being overcompensated. Rather, we assert that the driving force behind class action practice …


Assessing The Rule Of Law In Russia, Kathryn Hendley Oct 2006

Assessing The Rule Of Law In Russia, Kathryn Hendley

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The mainstream scholarly literature and the mass media agree that Russia has made little progress in moving toward the "rule of law." Their negative assessment of the value of law in Russia is buttressed by a recent series of high-profile cases in which the results were clearly manipulated by the Kremlin. This article argues that such cases are aberrations and should not be viewed as reflective of the capacity of the Russian legal system. It documents the profound institutional reforms undertaken over the past two decades. Judged on those terms, it has surely moved closer to the ideal of the …

Unnatural Rights: Hegel And Intellectual Property, Jeanne L. Schroeder Jul 2006

Unnatural Rights: Hegel And Intellectual Property, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

The article challenges the common misconception that Hegel's legal philosophy supports the romantic view of intellectual property as an extension of personality or natural right. Instead, it argues that Hegel's framework, rooted in the concept of "abstract right," views property, including intellectual property, as a legal construct created to facilitate freedom and legal subjectivity. The analysis emphasizes the pragmatic and utilitarian aspects of adopting intellectual property regimes within a modern constitutional republic, while rejecting the notion of natural law and highlighting the realization of property rights through alienation and contract.


Dworkin In The Desert Of The Real, David G. Carlson Jul 2006

Dworkin In The Desert Of The Real, David G. Carlson

Articles

The article critically examines Ronald Dworkin's jurisprudence, particularly his theory of right answers, and defends it against critiques that his approach to law and language creates an unbridgeable gap between theory and practice. Dworkin's central argument is that law has an essence that judges must discover through reflective equilibrium, emphasizing the incommensurability between the judge's act and the symbolic order of law. While critics argue that this approach leads to nihilism, Dworkin counters by asserting that conventionalists are contradictory and that justice, as a decision, necessarily transgresses the domain of law.


Introduction, Barry Scheck Apr 2006

Introduction, Barry Scheck

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The symposium aims to reform eyewitness identification procedures by fostering dialogue between law enforcement, social scientists, and legal experts. It seeks to address the high rates of mistaken identifications and improve the accuracy and reliability of eyewitness testimony through scientific research and practical implementations. The event highlights the human impact of wrongful convictions and explores evidence-based solutions to prevent such injustices.


A Sample Of Witness, Crime, And Perpetrator Characteristics Affecting Eyewitness Identification Accuracy, Brian L. Cutler Apr 2006

A Sample Of Witness, Crime, And Perpetrator Characteristics Affecting Eyewitness Identification Accuracy, Brian L. Cutler

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the impact of estimator variables on eyewitness identification accuracy, focusing on six key factors: own-race bias, exposure duration, masking of hair and hairline cues, weapon focus, eyewitness stress, and passage of time. It argues that these variables significantly influence identification accuracy and are not merely matters of common sense, emphasizing the need for expert testimony and education for legal professionals.


Essay For The In-Print Symposium On The Myth Of Moral Justice, Stuart A. Scheingold Mar 2006

Essay For The In-Print Symposium On The Myth Of Moral Justice, Stuart A. Scheingold

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

Stuart Scheingold responds to Thane Rosenbaum's The Myth of Moral Justice, agreeing with the aspiration to infuse law with moral imagination but critiquing Rosenbaum's oversight of existing moral energy within the legal profession, particularly through cause lawyering. Scheingold argues that Rosenbaum's approach is overly simplistic, failing to account for institutional obstacles and the contested nature of moral discourse, which can lead to conflict rather than harmony. He emphasizes that while moral advocacy, as seen in cause lawyering, can drive positive change, it also faces significant challenges and backlash.
