Miranda Perry Fleischer THEORIZING THE CHARITABLE TAX SUBSIDIES: THE ROLE OF DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE 87 Washington University Law Review 505 (2010) Distributive justice plays a starring role in many fundamental tax policy debates, from the marginal rate structure to the choice of base to the propriety of wealth transfer taxes.

Sonia K. Katyal TRADEMARK INTERSECTIONALITY 57 UCLA Law Review 1601 (August, 2010) Even though most scholars and judges treat intellectual property law as a predominantly content-neutral phenomenon, trademark law contains a statutory provision, section 2(a), that provides for the cancellation of marks that are disparaging, immoral, or scandalous.

Mutua VALUING DIFFERENCE, EXERCISING CARE IN OZ: THE SHAGGY MAN'S WELCOME 20 Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal 215 (Fall 2010) One cannot say that the people of Oz valued difference or valued the diversity of its people, because in Oz, difference and diversity simply were; difference and diversity simply existed.

EXPLORING THE NEED FOR GREATER CLASS-CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN THE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS MOVEMENT 32 Hamline Journal of Public Law and Policy 1 (Fall 2010) The flaw in the pluralist heaven is that the heavenly chorus sings with a strong upper-class accent.

Yxta Maya Murray A JURISPRUDENCE OF NONVIOLENCE 9 Connecticut Public Interest Law Journal 65 (Fall-Winter, 2009) Is there a way we could theorize about law that would make the world a less violent place? In the 1980s, cultural, or different voice, feminist legal theory seemed poised to take up the mantles of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King by incorporating nonviolent values into society and the law. Based on the work of psychologist Carol Gilligan,... 2009

Smith DECONSTRUCTING THE PIPELINE: EVALUATING SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE EQUAL PROTECTION CASES THROUGH A STRUCTURAL RACISM FRAMEWORK 36 Fordham Urban Law Journal 1009 (November, 2009) A man working in a munitions factory explains that he is not killing; he's just trying to get out a product. The same goes for the man who crates bombs in that factory. He's just packaging a product. He's not trying to kill anyone. So it goes until we come to the pilot who flies the plane that drops the bomb. Killing anyone? Certainly not, he's... 2009

Robin West FROM CHOICE TO REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE: DE-CONSTITUTIONALIZING ABORTION RIGHTS 118 Yale Law Journal 1394 (May, 2009) The Essay argues that the right to abortion constitutionalized in Roe v. Wade is by some measure at odds with a capacious understanding of the demands of reproductive justice. No matter its rationale, the constitutional right to abortion is fundamentally a negative right that rhetorically keeps the state out of the domain of family life. As such,... 2009
