On Constitutional Identity And The Loyalties Of The Constitutional Judge, András Sajó
Cardozo Law Review
The following remarks consider the relation of judicial loyalty and constitutional identity. These two concepts were always of great interest to Arthur Jacobson's scholarship and their combined discussion is not only necessitated by certain constitutional developments in this age's return to nationalist sovereignty but is a token of Arthur's appreciation.

The Oppressive Pressures Of Globalization And Neoliberalism On Mexican Maquiladora Garment Workers, Jenna Demeter
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
The international economic trends of globalization and neoliberalism have exposed and enabled the exploitation of Mexican workers, especially women in the maquiladora garment industry. During the 1950s, globalization gave rise to the new international division of labor and transnational corporations (TNCs) that have offshored labor-intensive phases of production to developing countries, many of which have pursued export-led industrialization. Export processing in Mexico was encouraged in the 1960s by Item 807 of the U.S. Tariff Code and Mexico’s Border Industrialization Program. Especially following the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, advanced capitalist countries and International Financial Institutions foisted neoliberal structural …

Algorithms At Work: Productivity Monitoring Applications And Wearable Technology As The New Data-Centric Research Agenda For Employment And Labor Law, Ifeoma Ajunwa
AI-DR Collection
Recent work technology advancements such as productivity monitoring platforms and wearable technology have given rise to new organizational behavior regarding the management of employees and also prompt new legal questions regarding the protection of workers’ privacy rights. In this Essay, I argue that the proliferation of productivity monitoring applications and wearable technologies will lead to new legal controversies for employment and labor law. In Part I, I assert that productivity monitoring applications will prompt a new reckoning of the balance between the employer’s pecuniary interests in monitoring productivity and the employees’ privacy interests. Ironically, such applications may also be both …

Bostock V. Clayton County, Georgia: Brief Of Statutory Interpretation And Equality Law Scholars As Amici Curiae In Support Of The Employees, Richard Primus
Appellate Briefs
Amici are law professors who specialize in statutory interpretation and/or equality law issues. Amici are well versed in this Court's statutory interpretation and Title VII precedents and have written on these issues. Although amici have otherwise diverse views, they agree that a textualist analysis compels the conclusion that discrimination against individuals because of their sexual orientation or their transgender status is a form of discrimination "because of ... sex" within the meaning of Title VII.
The question presented in these cases is whether Title VII prohibits discrimination against individuals because of their sexual orientation or their transgender status. This Court's …

Appellate Briefs
Amici are legal scholars who teach and write on constitutional law and civil rights law. They submit this brief to call attention to one particular means of resolving this case that would not require the Court to determine whether Title VII prohibits discrimination against transgender individuals based upon their transgender status, as such. More broadly, amici seek to offer guidance on how to interpret Title VII in cases where employers require employees to comply with sex-specific dress, grooming, and presentation requirements in the workplace.
In order to resolve this case, it is not necessary for the Court to decide whether …

Anticompetitive Mergers In Labor Markets, Ioana Marinescu, Herbert J. Hovenkamp
Indiana Law Journal
Mergers of competitors are conventionally challenged under the federal antitrust laws when they threaten to lessen competition in some product or service market in which the merging firms sell. In many of these cases the threat is that in concentrated markets—those with only a few sellers—the merger increases the likelihood of collusion or collusion-like behavior. The result will be that the post-merger firm will reduce the volume of sales in the affected market and prices will rise.
Mergers can also injure competition in markets in which the firms purchase, however. Although that principle is widely recognized, very few litigated cases …

Bias In, Bias Out, Sandra G. Mason
AI-DR Collection
Police, prosecutors, judges, and other criminal justice actors increasingly use algorithmic risk assessment to estimate the likelihood that a person will commit future crime. As many scholars have noted, these algorithms tend to have disparate racial impact. In response, critics advocate three strategies of resistance: (1) the exclusion of input factors that correlate closely with race, (2) adjustments to algorithmic design to equalize predictions across racial lines, and (3) rejection of algorithmic methods altogether.
This Article’s central claim is that these strategies are at best superficial and at worst counterproductive, because the source of racial inequality in risk assessment lies …

Thinking Slow About Abercrombie & Fitch: Straightening Out The Judicial Confusion In The Lower Courts, Bruce N. Cameron, Blaine L. Hutchison
Pepperdine Law Review
In Abercrombie & Fitch, the U.S. Supreme Court fundamentally changed the way that Title VII religious accommodation cases are litigated and evaluated. This paper analyzes Abercrombie, explains how the Court eliminated religious accommodation as a freestanding cause of action, and suggests an altered proof framework for plaintiffs seeking an accommodation. The paper also explores the conflict between employee privacy rights and classic proof requirements for religious sincerity. The lower courts have largely failed to apprehend the change mandated by Abercrombie, with the result that their opinions are in disarray. The paper includes a chart organizing the diverse lower court opinions.
