- Description
- The author examines how it is possible for a court to craft an injunction that protects listeners, protesters, and the Constitution itself. Part I assesses the pre-Madsen state of injunctive relief in cases involving free speech. Part II traces the rise through the lower courts of the two most important Supreme Court decisions on this point: Madsen v. Women’s Health Center, Inc. and Schenck v. Pro-Choice Network of Western New York. Part III addresses the questions: are speech-restrictive injunctions necessarily content-based? Who can be enjoined? Are injunctions really deserving of higher scrutiny than statutes? Can the reviewing court raise government interests that the government has not pled, and what function can those state interests play in the analysis? What factual findings are necessary to support a speech-restrictive injunction? as analyzed in Madsen, Schenck, and a more recent case involving statutory restrictions on speech, Hill v. Colorado.

- Description
- The authors describe the violence against women in Guatemala, specifically focusing on the number of murders, the victims, the context in which they occur, the theories behind the murders, and the specific circumstances that led victim Rodi to leave Guatemala and seek asylum in the U.S. They examine aspects of the Guatemalan legal and judicial systems, the ineffective response from police, prosecutors and the judiciary, that results in widespread impunity for perpetrators. They describe Guatemala's international obligations to protect women and the current U.S. programs offering economic assistance to strenghten the Guatemalan criminal justice system.

- This analysis of the case Gonzalez v. United States Air Force contains in part I a brief background of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), the Ferez Doctrine, which states that almost every injury that occurs to a service member arises directly out of his of her military service, the plaintiff's claim in the Gonzalez case and the decision of the Tenth Circuit. Part 2 describes how civilian courts have expanded the meanig behind the Feres doctrine and argues that Feres should not have barred the plaintiff's claim in Gonzalez. Part 3 discusses why the discretionary function and intentional tort exceptions to the FTCA should not bar the plaintiff's claim and explains why the Ninth Circuit's negligent hiring analysis would have been appropriate in Gonzalez. This comment concludes that the Tenth Circuit could have decided Gonzalez differently and allowed the plaintiff the opportunity to argue the merits of her case had the court not dismissed the case on a jurisdictional technicality.

- Part 1 of this comment examines breastfeeding as a legal issue under Ohia state law and federal law. Part 2 argues that, until recently, Ohia law did not adequately protect mothers against prohibitions or restrictions on breastfeeding. It also describes federal court's use of the Title VII comparability analysis in employment cases and the extension of this analysis to the public accommodation discrimination claim in the Derungs ruling. This comment advocates the need for more states to follow Ohio's steps.

- Description
- Samenvatting van een artikel uit Wisconsin Law Journal, nr.5 (1995) getiteld 'Mules, madonnas, babies, bathwater, racial imagery and stereotypes: the African-American and the battered woman syndrome'. Besproken wordt de vraag of op ras gebaseerde stigmatisering ertoe leidt dat men de mishandeling van zwarte vrouwen niet of minder serieus neemt. Het betoog wordt geplaatst in de context van de Amerikaanse geschiedenis en de implicaties van die erfenis voor de hedendaagse Amerikaanse praktijk van juryrechtspraak. In de inleiding wordt de relevantie van het betoog voor de Nederlandse situatie bekeken.

- Description
- This article investigates how courtrooms and legal processes recognize, react to, and thereby create 'cultural' information. Drawing on contemporary Canadian examples and the US experience with 'cultural defences' to criminal charges, the author considers not so much how courts should react to cultural practices but rather the problems with the way we identify these practices in the first place. This 'identification' process is often a form of cultural racism and is sometimes masked as an effort at cultural sensitivity. Not only is cultural information incompletely collected and imperfectly understood, it also tends to be considered only against the unarticulated, unexamined norm of North American mainstream culture. egal institutions produce distorted views of 'Other' cultures as well as an intriguing shadow picture of mainstream culture-both of which reveal a deeply held belief in the mainstream tradition's superiority. This process can be particularly harmful for women from non-mainstream cultures. Not only does it construct their own cultural traditions as being dangerously misogynist, it also refuses to recognize those elements of mainstream culture that subordinate and endanger women. The conclusion considers the range and complexity of the challenges that judges, litigators, litigants, and communities face in trying to avoid a simplistic approach to culture, stressing the need for more careful approaches to cultural sensitivity training in judicial education and litigation strategy.
