Women, Water & Privatization: A Human Rights-Based Approach To Global Water Governance, Tara Pistilli Jan 2014

Women, Water & Privatization: A Human Rights-Based Approach To Global Water Governance, Tara Pistilli

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that recognizing and clearly defining the human right to water is essential for ensuring equitable access, particularly for women and children, who are disproportionately affected by water scarcity and privatization. It emphasizes that a human rights-based approach to water governance is necessary to prevent conflicts and protect vulnerable populations, as demonstrated by the Cochabamba Water War. This approach, supported by international law, provides a legally binding framework to hold states and corporations accountable for fulfilling the right to water.

Introduction: China Re-Rising: Innovation And Collaboration For A Successful Twenty-First Century, Lindsay Korotkin Jan 2013

Introduction: China Re-Rising: Innovation And Collaboration For A Successful Twenty-First Century, Lindsay Korotkin

Cardozo Law Review de•novo

All eyes are on China in the twenty-first century, as it emerges as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. At the same time, losses in various industries are attributed to piracy—a substantial amount of which is alleged to occur within China’s borders—and the Chinese government is routinely criticized for its weak enforcement measures against counterfeiting activities and intellectual property infringement on its soil. Cardozo Law Review de•novo’s online symposium, “China Re-Rising: Innovation and Collaboration for a Successful Twenty-First Century” focuses on China’s overall transition from a manufacturing to an innovation economy and how this transition affects …

Docs Versus Glocks: N.R.A. Takes Aim At Florida Physicians’ Freedom Of Speech: Leaving Patients’ Health, Safety, And Welfare At Risk, Michelle Foody

Cardozo Law Review de•novo

Part I of this Note provides background on the Act at issue, its legislative history, the current status of the Supreme Court’s free speech jurisprudence, and it also introduces the constitutional interests at stake. Part II considers the constitutionality of the Act under the existing First Amendment standard and addresses the State’s assertions under the Second Amendment. Part III proposes that the Court’s standard ought to be recalibrated, taking into account the would-be listeners’ cognizable interest in the information. Part III goes on to legitimate the proposal by reconciling this new examination standard with existing free speech jurisprudence and justifications, …

The Burden To Prove Libel: A Comparative Analysis Of Traditional English And U.S. Defamation Laws And The Dawn Of England's Modern Day, Elizabeth Samson Jul 2012

The Burden To Prove Libel: A Comparative Analysis Of Traditional English And U.S. Defamation Laws And The Dawn Of England's Modern Day, Elizabeth Samson

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the divergence between English and U.S. defamation laws, particularly the burden of proof in libel cases. It argues that while the U.S. has evolved to prioritize free speech by shifting the burden to the plaintiff, England maintains a plaintiff-friendly approach, leading to libel tourism and chilling free speech. The author suggests that England should consider reforming its burden of proof to address these issues.

The Foolosophy Of Justice And The Enigma Of Law, Peter Goodrich Jan 2012

The Foolosophy Of Justice And The Enigma Of Law, Peter Goodrich

Articles

The article explores the symbolic meaning of legal images, particularly the figure of Justitia (Justice) and her blindfold, in 16th-century legal texts. It argues that these images, often overlooked, are enigmatic symbols rooted in legal and theological traditions, conveying meanings that have been forgotten over time. The blindfold, in particular, signifies the separation between divine and human law, emphasizing the limits of human understanding and the enigmatic nature of legal symbolism.


Racial Inclusion, Exclusion And Segregation In Constitutional Law, Michelle Adams Jan 2012

Racial Inclusion, Exclusion And Segregation In Constitutional Law, Michelle Adams

Articles

In Part I of the Article, I examine early cases in which the Court described segregation as a form of resource "lock-up." In several cases leading up to Brown, the Court detailed how racial segregation allows a more dominant group to hoard substantial societal resources. In these early cases, the Court's focus was on segregation as a mechanism for excluding individuals from valuable benefits on the basis of race; it did not speak explicitly to the harms associated with racial classification schemes. In this Part of the Article, I also return to Brown v. Board of Education and explore the …

The Failed Promise Of A General Theory Of Pure Economic Loss: An Accident Of History?, Anthony J. Sebok Jan 2012

The Failed Promise Of A General Theory Of Pure Economic Loss: An Accident Of History?, Anthony J. Sebok

Articles

The article explores the evolution and challenges of pure economic loss doctrine in American tort law, focusing on the contrasting approaches of Robert Rabin and Gary Schwartz. While Schwartz critiques the feasibility of a general theory due to the diversity of economic injuries, Rabin advocates for a nuanced, fact-specific approach. The article highlights the ad hoc nature of the doctrine, as seen in key cases like JAire Corp. v. Gregory and Aas v. Superior Court, which reflect shifting judicial attitudes toward negligence and liability. It concludes that the failure to establish a coherent principle for determining duty underscores the ongoing …

Madison's Full Faith And Credit Clause: A Historical Analysis, Charles M. Yablon Oct 2011

Madison's Full Faith And Credit Clause: A Historical Analysis, Charles M. Yablon

Cardozo Law Review

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) has created a new wave of interest in the Full Faith and Credit Clause and its apparent contradictions. Important recent scholarship has shown that American lawyers in the eighteenth century often viewed the term "full faith and credit" as referring to an evidentiary rule. This interpretation ameliorates, but does not actually resolve, the apparent conflict between the first sentence of the Clause, which seems to create a mandatory rule of sister state deference, and the second sentence of the Clause, which seems to give Congress plenary power to abrogate that rule. Rather than seek …


Battling Clearance Culture Shock: Comparing U.S. Fair Use And Canadian Fair Dealing In Advancing Freedom Of Expression In Non-Fiction Film, Sarah Sklar-Heyn Oct 2011

Battling Clearance Culture Shock: Comparing U.S. Fair Use And Canadian Fair Dealing In Advancing Freedom Of Expression In Non-Fiction Film, Sarah Sklar-Heyn

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note explores the tension between intellectual property rights and freedom of expression, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by nonfiction filmmakers in navigating copyright laws. It highlights how fair use and fair dealing doctrines in the U.S. and Canada serve as critical tools for balancing these competing interests. The analysis emphasizes the importance of flexible legal frameworks to accommodate the unique needs of documentary filmmaking, which often relies heavily on the use of preexisting works. The note also examines the potential for international harmonization of these doctrines to facilitate global distribution of audiovisual works.
