73 Duke Law Journal 737 (January, 2024) |
Precarious work arrangements have become a dominant feature of twenty-first-century political economy.

This Article argues that sex workers are silenced when they attempt to contribute to lawmaking processes. As a result, they are unable to contribute their knowledge in a meaningful way.

A MATERIAL QUESTION: DOES TITLE VII APPLY TO MINOR EMPLOYMENT ACTIONS? |
83 Maryland Law Review Online 1 (2023) |
As the Supreme Court recently stated, few federal laws can rank with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That makes it tempting to reserve the law for cases that are equally significant: a termination, for example, and not a shift change. Indeed, courts have been saving Title VII in this way for decades, principally by reading words into the... |
