American And British Employment Discrimination Law: An Introductory Comparative Survey, Robert N. Covington

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Age, alienage, ethnicity, race, religion, and sex lead to differential treatment of individuals the world over. Employment discrimination is felt most acutely in those industrialized nations where one's income level is the major determinant of so many other things: where one lives, what one wears, how one's children are educated. Concern over the social and economic consequences of employment discrimination has led to the development of new legal techniques on both sides of the Atlantic. The recent enactment in Britain of the Sex Discrimination Act, 1975, and the Race Relations Act, 1976, invites a comparison of those statutes and related …

Obscenity, Pornography And Law Reform, Ian A. Hunter

Dalhousie Law Journal

This note is concerned only with obscenity and pornography in written or pictorial form, that is, books and magazines. To some extent, different considerations apply to television, theatre and motion pictures. The first section deals with the origin and development of the concept of obscenity; the second section attempts to articulate some differences between obscenity and pornography, and the reasons for greater concern about the latter; finally, a proposal for law reform is made. One of the greatest obstacles to discussion of obscenity and pornography is definitional imprecision: people seldom agree on what the terms mean. If one cannot define …

Preferential Economic Treatment For Women: Some Constitutional And Practical Implications Of Kahn V. Shevin, Margaret E. Clark

Vanderbilt Law Review

The apparent willingness on the part of three members of the Supreme Court to sustain legislation granting economic benefits to a selected subgroup of women, while failing to deal with the similar racially suspect classification issue in Defunis, is simultaneously puzzling and disturbing. The key to the result reached in Kahn may be the size of the benefit involved, or the fact that a state tax statute was involved;"' yet the underlying principles in the two cases are logically indistinguishable and the differing approaches taken by certain members of the Court in the two cases are difficult to reconcile...

Conjugal Visitation Rights And The Appropriate Standard Of Judicial Review For Prison Regulations, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Conjugal visitation rights allow prison inmates and spouses to visit privately and have sexual relations. A number of countries, particularly in Latin America, permit conjugal visits. Although in the United States only Mississippi and California currently permit conjugal visitation, the experience of these two states shows that such programs are workable. Conjugal visitation has met with varied reaction in the literature, but persuasive arguments have been made that it would offer potential psychological benefits to the prisoner, reduce prison homosexuality, and allow the inmate to preserve his or her marital ties. Nevertheless, the reaction of penal administrators in this country …

The Constitutionality Of Laws Forbidding Private Homosexual Conduct, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The laws of forty-three states and the District of Columbia impose criminal penalties on consenting adults who engage in private homosexual conduct. Most of these laws are sodomy statutes, which also prohibit oral and anal intercourse between heterosexuals and sexual acts with animals. Two states have statutes explicitly limited to homosexual conduct. These statutes also prohibit nonconsensual homosexual activity and homosexual acts involving a minor, but this Note addresses only prohibitions on private consensual adult homosexual conduct.

Reasonable Mistake Of Age: A Needed Defense To Statutory Rape, Larry W. Myers

Michigan Law Review

Hernandez represents the first positive judicial step toward changing the irrational rules which currently control the crime of statutory rape, and its import should furnish a touchstone for the future development of the law of all sex crimes. In the brief period since the Hernandez decision was handed down it has been reaffirmed by its authors, and the legislatures in two other states have enacted statutes which embrace its sound reasoning. However, at least one state has evidenced an intent to follow the traditional judicial approach of imposing strict liability, notwithstanding the defendant's reasonable mistake with respect to the true …
