79 Virginia Law Review 1535 (October, 1993) |
THE arguments for and against making marriage a priority for the lesbian and gay rights movement have been presented extensively.

The Gender Gap: Separating the Sexes in Public Education |
68 Indiana Law Journal 149 (Winter, 1992) |
Inner-city schools have become notorious for their failure to educate. Children in these blighted areas, usually African-Americans or other minorities, have little hope for a bright future. School, which is commonly thought to provide a stepping-stone to a better life, merely reinforces that lack of hope. The curriculum reflects the values of...; Search Snippet: ...JOURNAL Indiana Law Journal Winter, 1992 December, 1992 Note THE GENDER GAP: SEPARATING THE SEXES IN PUBLIC EDUCATION Sharon K.

Beyond Batson: Eliminating Gender-based Peremptory Challenges |
105 Harvard Law Review 1920 (June, 1992) |
A fundamental tenet of jury selection is that j ury competence is an individual rather than a group or class matter. In jury selection, attorneys should make assessments of each prospective juror's competence and impartiality. For this reason, challenges for cause require a showing that a particular prospective juror is biased. In contrast,...; Search Snippet: ...REVIEW Harvard Law Review June, 1992 Note BEYOND BATSON: ELIMINATING GENDER-BASED PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES Copyright (c) 1992 by the Harvard Law... |

Sex Selection: Regulating Technology Enabling the Predetermination of a Child's Gender |

As technology allowing preselection of a child's gender has improved, observers have debated whether such practices should be prohibited. With sex selection, as with many issues of emotional appeal, political positions have antedated careful reflection, and legislative initiatives have marched well in advance of strategic planning.

The whole drift of our law is toward the absolute prohibition of all ideas that diverge in the slightest form from the accepted platitudes, and behind that drift of law there is a far more potent force of growing custom, and under that custom there is a national philosophy which erects conformity into the noblest of virtues and the free functioning...; Search Snippet: ...Law Review Winter, 1992 Note TOWARD A NEW STANDARD IN GENDER DISCRIMINATION: THE CASE OF VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE [FNa1] William A... |

For many years, women who work (or who have tried to work) with law and in courts have understood that their gender was relevant to that work. However, until recently, those who run the courts to which women have sought entry have not been interested in the effects of women on courts and of courts on women.
