Religious Clause Challenges To Early Abortion Bans, Caroline Mala Corbin

Articles

The substantive due process right to abortion is gone. But other parts of the Constitution may also protect women’s right to control their bodies and live as equals in the United States. This Essay addresses what role the two religion clauses may play in advancing reproductive autonomy. Because religion and reproduction are intertwined, the religion clauses may provide some measure of constitutional protection.

The Establishment Clause bars the government from imposing religion onto those who do not share it. It also forbids the government from taking sides in theological disputes. Early abortion bans not only favor one religious belief on …

From Margins To Center: Elevating The Voices Of Disadvantaged Families In Child Welfare, Jerron R. Wheeler

Faculty Articles

This essay sheds light on the systemic challenges faced by indigent, minority families within the child welfare system, using personal experiences from my time as a student at the University of Florida Levin College of Law as a lens. This essay aims to highlight the intersection of poverty, race, and the child welfare system, showing how these factors can hinder parents' ability to reunite with their children despite their best efforts. The essay seeks to underscore the urgent need for a more nuanced, multidisciplinary approach to child welfare advocacy that includes legal professionals, social workers, and health professionals working collaboratively …

El Proceso De Nulidad Matrimonial En La Reforma Del Papa Francisco Con Especial Referencia Al Proceso Abreviado (Processus Brevior) (Book), Roberto Rosas, Yeshica Umaña

Faculty Articles

El matrimonio en la Iglesia es considerado como el mayor símbolo de la vida mística y ha sido instituido por Dios, el cual representa el sacramento de la unión esponsal de Cristo con la Iglesia. Múltiples cánones incluyen los requisitos y normas de la Iglesia para el matrimonio desde su institución como sacramento. La última reforma matrimonial fue introducida en el siglo XVIII por el Papa Benedicto XIV y se había mantenido como norma legal hasta que el Papa Francisco anunció la publicación de una nueva reforma para la nulidad de los matrimonios dentro de la Iglesia el 15 de …

Freedom On Paper: Reforms To Women’S Rights In Saudi Arabia Will Not Be Effective Until Male Guardianship Is Abolished, Mackenzie Kramer

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

Male guardianship, a societal custom derived from Islamic law, renders women in Saudi Arabia second class citizens. The country’s preservation of male guardianship has broken its agreement to adhere to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the leading international women’s rights treaty. Throughout the past decade the country’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman al Saud (“MbS”), has issued rulings that work to slowly dismantle the apparatus of male guardianship. These developments have been both meaningful and restrained; MbS attempts to tread lightly into human rights reforms to garner the support of western allies, …

The Difference Method Makes: Judicial Restraint And Judicial Creativity In Rana Nahid V Sahidul Chisti, Saptarshi Mandal

National Law School Journal

Restraint and creativity are both necessary judicial attitudes. But when should judges exercise restraint in adjudication and when, creativity? This is the question posed by the Supreme Court’s 2020 split verdict in the case of Rana Nahid v Sahidul Chisti, which required the Court to decide whether Family Courts had jurisdiction over maintenance claims under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986. By contrasting the two approaches taken by the judges to statutory interpretation in this case, the note argues that while judges should refrain from arbitrary rule making, creativity must be viewed as duty when …

Locating The 'Nanny' In Legal Theory, Akshat Agarwal

National Law School Journal

Paid domestic workers pose a challenge to legal theorists since they occupy the unique intersection of the market and the home. While being paid for the ‘care’ they provide, their work is characterised by a high degree of informality and is usually also considered emotive. I use India as a case study to show how attempts to include paid domestic workers within formal labour law protections have been consistently unsuccessful, which demonstrates the unique nature of paid domestic work. At the same time, academic arguments for the inclusion of such workers in family law frameworks raise several practical concerns and …

Supreme Court Overreach Through Broad Discretionary Consideration Of Ameliorative Measures In International Child Abduction, Lauren Mayell

Global Business Law Review

This Note provides a critical analysis of the United States Supreme Court's recent decision in Golan v. Saada--a case setting precedent in the area of international child abduction by biological parents. It argues that the Supreme Court oversteps the presiding law in the field through the use of discretionary ameliorative measures. These ameliorative measures do not show evidence of protecting children from grave risk, directly usurp underlying custody proceedings, and hinder expeditious procedures, all of which are required by law in international child abduction cases. Additionally, this Note compares the European Union's approach to ameliorate analysis. Lastly this Note …

Order Of Protection Or Deportation? How Civil Orders Of Protection Entangle Noncitizens And Their Families In The Immigration And Criminal Legal Systems, Creating The Harm That They Were Intended To Prevent., Sarah E. Corsico

Brooklyn Law Review

A civil protection order can act as an important form of relief for an individual experiencing violence; however, it can also bring extreme complications and consequences for noncitizens. Unlike its intended purpose as a remedy separate from punitive state systems, civil protection orders can replicate the harm of the criminal legal system for noncitizens—barring someone from gaining immigration status, delaying applications, impacting international travel, and at its worst, resulting in deportation. Despite the high stakes nature of these proceeding, for the most part, there is no right to assigned counsel in civil protection order cases. As a result, many individuals …

The Current State Of Abortion Law In Virginia Leaves Victims Of Domestic And Sexual Violence Vulnerable To Abuse: Why Virginia Should Codify The Right To Abortion In The State Constitution†, Courtenay Schwartz

University of Richmond Law Review

All people must have access to safe and legal reproductive health care—especially victims of sexual and domestic violence who can and do become pregnant because of the violence they experience. This year, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. In doing so, the Supreme Court held that the Constitution does not protect the right to an abortion. Though abortion access is currently protected in Virginia, this could change with each new General Assembly session. To guard against the danger that this poses to …

Legal Representation Of Parents In Child Dependency Cases In Virginia, Eric J. Reynolds

University of Richmond Law Review

Virginia’s current system of providing court-appointed legal counsel for parents involved in child dependency cases is unsustainable and inadequate, requiring swift and dramatic action from the state government. Inadequate legal representation for parents often leads to poor outcomes for children and a lack of protections for the parents’ due process rights. While attempts to improve the system have been made in recent years, they are often quickly dismissed. The largest hindrances in the current system, this Article suggests, is that court-appointed attorneys for parents are typically underpaid, undertrained, and consequently unable to meaningfully advocate for their client. Due to the …

Urgensi Perlindungan Data Pribadi Pada Sistem Elektronik Untuk Anak Di Bawah Umur Di Indonesia Serta Perbandingan Regulasi Dengan Uni Eropa (General Data Protection Regulation), Dzikrina Laili Kusumadewi, Akhmad Budi Cahyono

Lex Patrimonium

Childrens are inseparable from using technology. Using this technology also has a negative impact, which is misuse of one's personal data. This threat is quite troublesome, especially for children, in the eyes of the law, that are considered as incompetent individuals. Unfortunately, Regulation Number 27/2022 concerning Personal Data Protection does not regulate and explain in detail the protections that children can get for the security of their personal data. Therefore, this research will discuss child regulations, sanctions, and compensation in protecting personal data; child rights provisions; and the comparison. The aim is to provide an explanation of what provisions have …

Based on this background, how does the regulation in Indonesia regulate the determination of control over child custody and how does the effect of the principle of …

Eksekusi Objek Jaminan Fidusia Sebagai Suatu Perbuatan Melawan Hukum: Tinjauan Terhadap Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Medan Nomor 167/Pdt.G/2021/Pn Mdn Dan Putusan Pengadilan Tinggi Tanjung Karang Nomor 93/Pdt/2022/Pt Tjk, Rahmandika -, Lauditta Humaira

Lex Patrimonium

The provisions for the execution of fiduciary security objects are regulated in Law Number 42 of 1999 on Fiduciary Security which allows fiduciary obligee to unilaterally execute fiduciary security objects based on the inherent executorial title which means execution can be directly exercised without going through a court and is final and binding on the parties. The Constitutional Court through Decision Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019 changed the meaning of the executorial title so that the execution of the fiduciary security certificate must be exercised and apply the same as the execution of a court decision that has permanent legal force, unless there …
