Girls in the Master's House: of Protection, Patriarchy and the Potential for Using the Master's Tools to Reconfigure Statutory Rape Law |
50 DePaul Law Review 799 (Spring 2001) |
After almost a decade of researching, writing, and thinking about the topic of statutory rape, it is clear to me that everyone approaches this issue informed by an often-unarticulated paradigmatic vision of adolescent sex. These paradigms shape the way in which one views the legitimacy of statutory rape laws. Many different associations are...; Search Snippet: ...Scholarship and Practice Tenth Annual Depaul Law Review Symposium Article Girls in the Master's House: of Protection, Patriarchy and the Potential... |

Harassment in the Workplace: When Will the Reactions of Ethnic Minorities and Women Be Considered Reasonable? |
40 Washburn Law Journal 593 (Spring, 2001) |
In Mobile, Alabama, an African-American male employee at a paper mill was repeatedly called racist names by his co-workers and supervisors.

5 Journal of Gender, Race and Justice 31 (Fall 2001) |

In other eras, minor changes combine with major ones to effect a wholesale...; Search Snippet: ...Of Gender, Race and Justice Fall 2001 Article Has the Gender Divide Become Unbridgeable?

24 Harvard Women's Law Journal 139 (Spring, 2001) |
When I first learned about a softball league struggling to obtain permits for public playing fields in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, I thought the problem would be easily resolved.

Introductory Essay: the Relevance of Gender Bias Studies |
58 Washington and Lee Law Review 1073 (Summer, 2001) |
The work of this study is of abiding importance. It struck me that justice is a woman, but she's been notoriously blind to the subtle but deeply entrenched prejudices that are found in the legal system . . . . Gender issues in legal education are of profound importance to our society and no less critical, of course, is the study of gender bias...; Search Snippet: ...Of the Commonwealth of Virginia Introductory Essay: the Relevance of Gender Bias Studies Blake D.
