Movement for Quality Government in Israel v. The Knesset
Get PDFMovement for Quality Government v. Knesset concerns challenges to Amendment No. 3 to Basic Law: The Judiciary (the “reasonableness amendment”). In view of the controversy surrounding the amendment and the fundamental constitutional question it raised in regard to the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction to review Basic Laws, the Court took the unprecedented step of sitting en banc. We translate here Chief Justice Hayut\u27s majority opinion.
On January 1, 2024, a majority of the Court (12 of 15 justices) held that the Court held the authority to conduct judicial review of Basic Laws and to intervene in exceptional, extreme cases in which the Knesset deviated from its constituent authority. A majority of the Court (8 of 15 justices) further held that Amendment No. 3 to Basic Law: The Judiciary represented an extreme deviation from the Knesset’s constituent authority that left no alternative but to declare the amendment void

Immigration Justice Clinic Releases New Report that Exposes Failures of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to Provide Language Access to Detained People
Get PDFIn early September, the Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic (IJC) released Held Incommunicado: The Failed Promise of Language Access in Immigration Detention, the first report of its kind, focusing on how language access was denied to those who have limited English proficiency being held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities. The denial of language access the report uncovered includes multiple instances of ICE not providing translators and interpreters, impeding detained peoples\u27 ability to request medical care and legal assistance, and demonstrates that the agency failed to meet its own guidelines.https://larc.cardozo.yu.edu/cardozo-news-2024/1031/thumbnail.jp
What’s Going On? Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Dispute Resolution Initiatives in the U.S.
Get PDFOver the course of my career, I have worked for and managed community dispute resolution centers, overseen a court-annexed dispute resolution program, and run a law school mediation clinic (my current position). In each post, I have been in a position of power over a different gateway or entry point into the field of dispute resolution. In these roles, and especially in my work overseeing a court-annexed ADR program, I became increasingly aware of who applied (and did not apply); who was appointed (and was not appointed); and who was selected (and not selected) for work as a mediator and arbitrator. As I realized that the arbitrators and mediators ( neutrals ) participating in my programs were not reflective of the communities being served, I joined diversity and inclusion subcommittees of professional organizations and participated in New York based diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives to find ways to increase representation of women, people of color and other communities who were underrepresented or not represented at all

White Monsters: Understanding Whiteness as Social and Legal Monstrosity
No full textThe article argues that whiteness operates as a socially and legally constructed monstrosity, perpetuating systemic inequality and destructive power through both intentional and nonintentional mechanisms. By employing monster theory, the analysis reveals how whiteness adapts and evolves to maintain its dominance, often through legal frameworks that obscure its harmful effects. The Supreme Court\u27s decision in Plyler v. Doe, while advancing justice in some aspects, also exemplifies how the law can perpetuate inequality by overlooking historical and social contexts
