Dying While Trans: A Critical Analysis Of Respect After Death Laws, Kara Nowakowski
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note critiques Respect After Death (RAD) laws, which aim to ensure that transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals' gender identities are respected on death certificates and in funeral proceedings. While these laws represent progress, they fail to address systemic barriers faced by TGNC individuals, such as limited access to legal and medical transition resources, leaving many without the necessary documentation to secure their rights even in death. The note proposes a more comprehensive legislative solution for New York State to better protect TGNC individuals' bodily autonomy after death.

The Diversity Imperative Revisited: Racial And Gender Inclusion In Clinical Law Faculty, G. S. Hans, D. N. Archer, Et Al.
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The demographics of clinical law faculties matter. As Professor Jon Dubin persuasively argued nearly twenty years ago in his article Faculty Diversity as a Clinical Legal Education Imperative, clinical faculty of color entering the legal academy in the 1980s and 1990s expanded the communities served by law school clinics and the lawyering methods used to serve clients in significant ways that enriched legal education and the profession. They also broadened clinical scholarship to include deconstructions and reconstructions of clinical teaching, offered crucial role modeling and mentorship to students of color, and helped to elevate cross-cultural communication and multiracial collaboration as …

Making The Leap From Bullying To Equality: An Analysis Of Transgender Student Rights, Nathan Ades
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the legal and political landscape surrounding transgender students' rights, particularly under Title IX, following the withdrawal of Obama-era guidelines by the Trump administration. This withdrawal has led to significant legal confusion and variability in protections across jurisdictions. The analysis suggests that advocating for antibullying policies may offer a more effective strategy for advancing transgender rights, especially in conservative states, by avoiding direct confrontation with gender identity issues.

Lawful Neutral: The Justice System And Dungeons And Dragons, Laura Lea Williams
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note argues that the ban on Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) in prisons is rooted in outdated misconceptions and fails to recognize the game's potential as a rehabilitative tool. It critiques the judicial system's reliance on the Turner test, which has been used to uphold such bans, and advocates for a more nuanced approach that considers the game's benefits in fostering communication, empathy, and problem-solving skills among inmates.

Gender Inequity Throughout The Legal Academy: A Quick Look At The (Surprisingly Limited) Data, Kristen K. Tiscione
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The long-standing overrepresentation of female law faculty in skills teaching and service-oriented positions is well documented. In contrast, the historical underrepresentation of female law faculty in top dean and tenured or tenure-track teaching positions has been widely recognized but difficult to quantify. The American Bar Association has a link in the statistics archives of its website to a chart from Fall 2013 on the gender, ethnicity, and status of law faculty. The Association of American Law Schools (AALS) links to the same chart on its website. This chart replaced a similar chart covering 2008 to 2009 that the ABA has …

Queer Phenomenology In Law: A Critical Theory Of Orientation, Nick J. Sciullo
Pace Law Review
This Article argues for the application of phenomenology to legal understanding, specifically as a way to think about and through queer people’s interactions with law as well as queer theory in law. There are both pragmatic and theoretical justifications for this project. The pragmatic justifications include the need to better address the legal issues and experiences of queer people, recent political and legal decisions and debates that affect queer people specifically, the need to better provide epistemological resources for queer lawyers, law scholars, law students, and their allies, and the need to better understand how law affects minoritarian populations regardless …

Women And Men Graduates Of The University Of Michigan Law School: Career Patterns And Adjustments For Children, David L. Chambers
Bibliography of Research Using UMLS Alumni Survey Data
The University of Michigan Law School conducted mail surveys of classes of its alumni each year from 1966 and 2006. This memorandum builds upon the mail surveys conducted through 2006 and in particular survey questions asked about the sex of the respondent, the settings in which they have worked since law school, the hours they work and their earnings in their current settings, whether they have children and the various adjustments they have made in order to care for children, such as working part-time or leaving the work force altogether for periods of time. The memorandum has two principal focuses: …
Sexual Orientation Discrimination As A Form Of Sex-Plus Discrimination,

Texas State University
Sexual Orientation Discrimination As A Form Of Sex-Plus Discrimination, Marc Chase Mcallister
Buffalo Law Review
This Article examines whether sexual orientation discrimination claims are a form of sex-plus discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of “sex.” Until very recently, every United States Court of Appeals to have interpreted Title VII’s prohibition of sex discrimination had determined that it does not encompass claims on the basis of sexual orientation. Times, and judicial interpretations, are changing. In April 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit overturned decades of precedent by holding that sexual orientation discrimination claims are indeed encompassed …

A Note Of Thanks To Arthur Jacobson, Suzanne Last Stone
Cardozo Law Review
I owe Arthur a great personal debt as a mentor, and as a thinker, and I'm happy to be able to publicly proclaim it today. When I first came to Cardozo, I packaged myself very astutely as a federal courts groupie; and I was going to write all the next great articles on federal courts. And it was Arthur, more than anyone else on the faculty who was there, welcoming me and persuading me that I had to pursue my passion, instead. Other members of the faculty (I won't name names) said: "You're not going to get tenure writing on …
