In Favor of the 2019 Equality Act
There are three reason why I disagree with the author’s premise that 2019 Equality Act disadvantages women by blurring the distinction between sex and gender identity. First, it ignores current legal theory and practice that sex discrimination encompasses gender identity discrimination in federal law; second, it has not made a sufficient case that the Act’s interpretation of sex would harm women; third, it incorrectly assumes gender equality in t…
Transgender Policymaking
The executive branch and federal courts and, occasionally Congress, have played key roles in transgender policymaking, but state governments have been particularly important actors in recent years. This article examines the prominent role of state governments in defining the scope of equal rights protections for the nation’s transgender community. Some states have expanded transgender rights, whereas others have limited them, with a number of sta…
The Gay Marriage Generation
In his book, The Gay Marriage Generation: How the LGBTQ Movement Transformed American Culture, Sociologist Peter Hart-Brinson delves into an important issue in the debate over same-sex marriage. Deriving his data analysis from interviews with college students and their parents in a university town about ninety miles from Chicago, he argues that the rapid acceptance of same-sex marriage was largely due to “generational change in the social imagina…

Disabling Interpretations
The Federal Courts and Disability Rights
In this article, the author presents an empirical analysis of litigation under Title III of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, the section of the law prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations on the basis of disability. It represents the first systematic examination of all 247 reported federal district and appellate court decisions through December 2001 in which the court adjudicated a Title III claim. Reporting on the outcome of…
Elusive Equality
The Americans with Disabilities Act in Federal Court
This study represents the first systematic inquiry into the outcome of litigation against state and local public entities under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Because Congress instituted a system of judicial review that established the courts as the final authority of rights and responsibilities under the Act, Title II litigation has a potentially significant impact on the disability policymaking of state and local…
Systemic Reform Litigation and Child Welfare Policy
This study examines systemic litigation against the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Focusing on B.H., a 1988 class action suit, it looks at the litigation process, conceptualized as continual interaction among litigants, the court, and affected non‐litigants. Dividing the litigation process into five phases, it discusses the effect of B.H. on child welfare policy in Illinois. The study concludes that B.H. provided a st…

Keeping Abortion Clinics Open
In 1973, Roe v. Wade constitutionalized a woman's right to an abortion. But, while Roe removed most legal obstacles to abortion, it did not address the limited availability of abortion services in the nation. The case examined here, Ragsdale v. Turnock, revolved around an Illinois statute that imposed far‐reaching restrictions on abortion clinics, the site of most U.S. abortions since Roe. The crucial role of clinics in providing abortion service…
When Should Differences Make a Difference
This study criticizes the Supreme Court's current approach to constitutional gender equality and suggests a new type of review for gender-based classifications under the equal protection clause. The debate over acceptable gender classification hsa forced the Court to decide whether distinctions on the basis of gender-specific physical characteristics discriminate on the bsais of gender, whether legislation on the basis of generalized physical cha…

The Burger Court and Younger Abstention
An important determinant of federal balance is the degree of state court authority to decide federal constitutional issues. This study traces the development of the Younger abstention doctrine, one of the primary vehicles by which the Burger Court restricted federal court jurisdiction and enhanced the authority of state courts in constitutional adjudication. The Younger doctrine was adopted by the Supreme Court in 1971 for reasons of comity and e…
