Legal Representation For Complainants Of Sexual Violence In The Criminal Justice System: A Proposal To Advance Women's Equality, Karen M. Bellehumeur
Legal Representation For Complainants Of Sexual Violence In The Criminal Justice System: A Proposal To Advance Women's Equality, Karen M. Bellehumeur
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Very few survivors of sexual violence choose to engage the Canadian criminal justice system despite the fact that we expect law to be an effective tool to combat sexual violence. Since the vast majority of sexual violence survivors are female, the criminal justice system is failing women. This failure is largely because of the harm it causes by re-victimizing sexual assault complainants. Much of that harm arises from misunderstandings about trauma and from the existence of rape myths and gender stereotypes.. I argue that the criminal justice system’s treatment of female sexual violence complainants violates their section 7 and 15 …
The Saudi Judge's Discretion In Liquidated Damage Clauses: An Applied Analytical Study In Light Of Islamic Sharia Law, Salman Mufleh R. Al-Kahtani
The Saudi Judge's Discretion In Liquidated Damage Clauses: An Applied Analytical Study In Light Of Islamic Sharia Law, Salman Mufleh R. Al-Kahtani
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation studies the treatment by Saudi judges under Islamic Sharia law of liquidated damages clauses in contracts, a critical part of modern commercial transactions.
After introducing the basic and secondary sources of Islamic law and discussing the current treatment of the liquidated damages clause by Saudi judges according to general Islamic rules and the four jurisprudence schools, this dissertation demonstrates that Saudi judges have broad discretion in applying jurisprudence rules, particularly Hanbali jurisprudence, the applicable jurisprudence in the Saudi courts.
Numerous interpretations of the same jurisprudential rule exist, resulting in multiple judicial rulings for the same jurisprudential rule. Among …
The Restitution Of Nazi-Looted Art In The United States: A Legal And Policy Analysis, Katharine J. Namon
The Restitution Of Nazi-Looted Art In The United States: A Legal And Policy Analysis, Katharine J. Namon
Senior Theses and Projects
Restitution of Nazi-looted art in the United States is a complicated legal and policy issue. Victims and their heirs seeking restitution of their stolen art frequently encounter inconsistent legal standards at the state, federal, and international levels. Moreover, there are many different parties involved in these cases, including countries, museums, private collections, auction houses, heirs, and individuals who may have an interest in the particular work of art. Ethics must also be considered, and in the past, international principles for nations have been established to guide the process of delivering victims of wartime looting justice. Unfortunately, the current legal framework …

What We Are Owed: The Possibilities Of A Civil Law Response To Sexual Injuries, Nathalie Marx
What We Are Owed: The Possibilities Of A Civil Law Response To Sexual Injuries, Nathalie Marx
Scripps Senior Theses
Drawing from philosophical, feminist, and legal frameworks, this thesis aims to reconceptualize our understanding of sexual violations. I suggest that rape and other sexual violations produce injuries unique from other forms of physical violence that must be addressed as an extension of a culture which objectifies, restricts the agency of, and shames women. It is argued that through the ability for survivors to bring a civil claim of negligence against their perpetrators following a sexual injury, pathways for restorative healing and cultural transformation are opened, and a more responsive legal standard for fault is created. This paper responds to theories …
