Age—Not Sex Or Gender—Makes The Case Of Ellie Anderson Complex, Elizabeth Lanphier, Shannon Fyfe 2022 University of Cincinnati College of Medicine

Age—Not Sex Or Gender—Makes The Case Of Ellie Anderson Complex, Elizabeth Lanphier, Shannon Fyfe

Scholarly Articles

In ’The Complex Case of Ellie Anderson’, Joona Rasanen and Anna Smajdor raise several ethical questions about the case. One question asks, but does not answer, whether Ellie faced discrimination for being transgender when her mother was not allowed access to Ellie’s sperm following her death. In raising the question, the authors imply anti-trans bias may have influenced this determination. However, this inference is not supported by current ethical and legal guidance for posthumous use of gametes, with which Ellie’s case is consistent. We consider the authors’ responses to their other ethical queries, and how their suggestions for what options …

Helping Asylum Seekers And New Asylees Find Their Way In The United States, Kristin Briner 2022 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law

Helping Asylum Seekers And New Asylees Find Their Way In The United States, Kristin Briner

Children's Legal Rights Journal

People seek asylum in the United States (U.S.) when their home country is no longer safe due to persecution or other forms of violence. However, obtaining asylum is a notoriously complicated process due to the numerous government agencies involved, the immigration courts' backlogs, and the possibility of detention while awaiting a hearing. The current U.S. immigration system is itself a large barrier to individuals seeking asylum, and information regarding legal rights and protections are often inaccessible to asylum seekers. In this way, the U.S. immigration officials cause massive injustices against asylum seekers and those who have been granted asylum ("asylees"). …


The Ukrainian Family Separation Crisis, Amanda Scott 2022 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law

The Ukrainian Family Separation Crisis, Amanda Scott

Children's Legal Rights Journal

In the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, there has been a dramatic increase in Ukrainian family separation. Women and their children were forced to leave their homes and oftentimes their husbands, to seek safety in another country. Family separation was an expected consequence of the war, and in preparation for this disaster, UNICEF trained thousands of people on how to shelter children separated from their families in Ukraine. However, no amount of preparation could have been sufficient to handle the magnitude of Ukrainian family separation that took place within such a short amount of time. …


The Unborn Child Support Act: Support For Expecting Mothers Or Pro-Fetus Personhood Act, Taelor Thornton 2022 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law

The Unborn Child Support Act: Support For Expecting Mothers Or Pro-Fetus Personhood Act, Taelor Thornton

Children's Legal Rights Journal

Since the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Republican Senators have proposed a new bill, the Unborn Child Support Act, that would allow prospective mothers to request child support from their child's prospective fathers from the moment of conception as determined by a physician. Under the Act, paternity tests are only conducted if the mother consents, and if the safety of the child can be maintained. The bill originates from the idea that life begins at conception, allowing women to receive child support payments while they are pregnant from their child's father …

A Call To Dismantle Systemic Racism In Criminal Legal Systems, Cynthia J. Najdowski, Margaret C. Stevenson

Psychology Faculty Scholarship

Objectives: In October 2021, APA passed a resolution addressing ways psychologists could work to dismantle systemic racism in criminal legal systems. The present report, developed to inform APA’s policy resolution, details the scope of the problem and offers recommendations for policy and psychologists to address the issue by advancing related science and practice. Specifically, it acknowledges the roots of modern-day racial and ethnic disparities in rates of criminalization and punishment for people of color as compared to White people. Next, the report reviews existing theory and research that helps explain the underlying psychological mechanisms driving racial and ethnic disparities …


How Beneficial Is Florida's Community Property Trust Act To The Marital Estate? A Legislative Analysis Of Florida's Community Property Trust Act, Massiel Alonso 2022 St. Thomas University College of Law

How Beneficial Is Florida's Community Property Trust Act To The Marital Estate? A Legislative Analysis Of Florida's Community Property Trust Act, Massiel Alonso

St. Thomas Law Review

Florida is a migratory state, famous for its tropical climate and its generous tax laws. Now, Florida is joining Alaska, Tennessee, South Dakota, and Kentucky in offering a Community Property Trust for marital property. One of the benefits of a Community Property Trust Act (“CPTA”) is that when a spouse owning community property dies, the basis of both the deceased spouse’s and the surviving spouse’s (50%) shares of the property are adjusted to the property’s fair market value at the date of the decedent spouse’s death. This sort of tax adjustment is referred to as a “double step-up in basis,” …
