Get PDFLessons from Pandemic Pedagogy: Humanizing Law School Teaching to Create Equity and Evenness
No full textIn only a few months, COVID-19 managed to rattle every modicum of certainty. The law school classroom was no exception. Traditional law school learning came to a screeching halt. Face-to-face classes were moved online. Spring breaks were canceled and semesters cut short. Law school faculty scrambled to pivot and develop teaching strategies and modes of learning that would adequately support Socratic, analytical teaching via a remote, online platform. For many law students, that pivot exacerbated their ongoing--often silently and independently fought--battles, magnifying the inherent unevenness of the law school experience. Students with children now juggled home schooling and law school obligations. Students caring for older or ill companions now had to be present for both those depending on them and themselves. Students struggling with their psychological well-being attempted to overcome both the traumas of law school and the traumas of the global pandemic. Students from marginalized communities carried the usual and often-invisible weight of navigating spaces that stifle their voice and value while now carrying the stressors of a global pandemic. Pre-pandemic, this unevenness remained under the radar, but it was now front and center. COVID-19 heightened the impact of the imbalance, making it too crippling to ignore--suddenly there was a clear disadvantage spotlighting an inequitable learning environment due to circumstances beyond students\u27 control. Now, during the pandemic and civil unrest, there was a call for transformation on all fronts: dismantling racial institutions, eradicating inequities in healthcare and deconstructing age-old law school pedagogy

Breaking the Binary: Desegregation of Bathrooms
Get PDFThis note discusses how the binary view of gender in relation to public bathroom segregation is insufficient to meet the diverse needs of the public and proposes the desegregation of bathrooms as the solution to promote gender equality and reduce gender-based social imbalances. This note will focus on the bathroom rights of individuals who identify outside of the binary options of male and female, viewed through the lens of how transgender people identifying within the binary have been treated by the courts. For the purposes of this note, the term non-binary will be used to refer to these individuals. Part I provides a brief overview of recent bathroom legislation in the United States, the statutory and constitutional framework that has been applied to sex discrimination claims, and the courts’ treatment of gender-based discrimination claims under each law. Part II analyzes gender-based discrimination claims in relation to public bathroom access under this framework in light of how courts have treated gender litigation and addresses widespread myths about privacy and safety concerns. Part III proposes the complete desegregation of bathrooms based on gender, considers which legal claim is the best avenue of implementing desegregation, delineates the benefits of such implementation, and addresses potential concerns raised by this proposal
Book Review, \u3ci\u3eAbortion and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present\u3c/i\u3e (Cambridge University Press, 2020, pp.326)
No full textProfessor Mary Ziegler is the author of three books on abortion. Her latest book, Abortion and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present, like the first two, makes major contributions to the unfortunately divisive debates about women\u27s right to control their reproductive choices and the concerns of millions of Americans for the fetuses killed when women exercise those rights. Readers will not uncover Ziegler\u27s personal views on abortion when reading this book, which is just one of the many strengths of this wonderful new treatment of a very old topic
