Fulfilling Batson and its Progeny: a Proposed Amendment to Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to Attain a More Race- and Gender-neutral Jury Selection Process |
80 Iowa Law Review 1327 (July, 1995) |
Courts traditionally have exalted the peremptory challenge system as fundamental to achieving a fair trial by jury. The peremptory challenge system allows parties to eliminate persons from the venire whom they believe are incompetent or biased. In addition to helping litigants secure an unbiased jury, the peremptory challenge system gives the...; Search Snippet: ...Rules of Criminal Procedure to Attain a More Race- and Gender-neutral Jury Selection Process Pam Frasher [Fna1] Copyright (C) 1995... |

Gender and Sentencing: What We Know and Don't Know from Empirical Research |
1995 Federal Sentencing Reporter 862010 (12/1/1995) |
Many claims are made about gender differences in sentencing.

I then challenge several arguments made by Ilene Nagel and Barry Johnson on equal treatment, special treatment, and gender-neutrality in sentencing...; Search Snippet: ...Reporter Volume 8, Number 3 November/december, 1995 Kathleen Daly Gender and Sentencing: What We Know and Don't Know from Empirical... |

Gender, Individuality and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines |
1995 Federal Sentencing Reporter 862007 (12/1/1995) |
Historically, gender has played an important role in determining sanctions for criminal and delinquent conduct. The direction of that role, i.e., mitigation or aggravation, has varied. Often for status offenses, such as running away from home, young female defendants received stiffer sanctions than did their male counterparts. On the other hand,...; Search Snippet: ...Volume 8, Number 3 November/december, 1995 Phyllis J. Newton Gender, Individuality and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines December 1, 1995 Phyllis... |

When Minerva looked into the face of her child asleep beside her in the bed, she saw peace, she saw freshness, she saw the world the way it should be. Contentment slept in Kiji's lips, pink brown lips closed loosely like a small bow. In the curl of her lashes rested hope. In her balled fists, strength and vulnerability.

Interrogating Identity |
2 African-American Law and Policy Report 222 (Fall, 1995) |
A few years ago, I would have described myself as a white Jewish heterosexual female. Today, I'm considerably less sure, because both my self-understanding and my sense of the meaning and significance of those very categories has changed. Judy Scales-Trent's book, Notes of a White Black Woman, provides a marvelous vehicle for exploring the process...; Search Snippet: ...Fna1] Review Essay Interrogating Identity Notes of a White Black Woman: Race, Color, Community by Judy Scales-trent.
