127 Harvard Law Review 2521 (June, 2014) |
In January 2003, a young woman named Lavetta Elk got into a car with an Army recruiter whom she had known since she was sixteen. She believed that she had been accepted as an enlistee--her dream was to work eventually as an Army nurse--and that he was taking her for a medical evaluation. Instead, Staff Sergeant Joseph Kopf drove down a deserted...; Search Snippet: ...LAW REVIEW Harvard Law Review June, 2014 Note A BAD MAN IS HARD TO FIND Copyright (c) 2014 Harvard Law Review... |

40 Law and Human Behavior 36 (February, 2016) |

23 Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy 163 (Spring 2016) |
American law presumes that all persons are born either female or male, and rests a surprising number of legal entitlements on this presumption.
