Fellow-feeling and Gender in the Law of Personal Injury |
18 Journal of Law & Policy 295 (2009) |
Whenever authorities instruct audiences about the law that American courts apply--in civics lessons, in speeches to the public, and to students in law schools, as well as in the scripted instructions written for a jury--they typically emphasize the tenet of impartiality.

Feminism and Pornography in the Twenty-first Century: the Internet's Impact on the Feminist Pornography Debate |
30 Women's Rights Law Reporter 543 (Spring/Summer 2009) |

32 Harvard Journal of Law & Gender 165 (Winter 2009) |
This Article considers four trials held in the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel, in which gender outlaws were accused and convicted in a criminal court for fraudulent gender presentations.
