Michèle Alexandre, Dance Halls, Masquerades, Body Protest and the Law: The Female Body As A Redemptive Tool Against Trinidad’s Gender-Biased Laws, 13 Duke J. Gender L. & Pol'y 177 (2019)Clicking on the button will copy the full recommended citation.
This article proposes that feminist jurisprudence considers the female body as a tool for redemption and liberation and showcases certain Trinidadian women as examples of women who use their bodies to fight patriarchy. The term body protest is coined in this article to describe women's use of the female body as a mode of expression, and as a tool for liberation and transformation. The article argues that when reading these women's bodies, we witness an organic feminism, which should lead us (academic feminists) to recognize our own internalized sexism, and limitations in arguing for women's liberation. It uses the example of Trinidadian women to reach a deeper understanding of the role of the body in gender liberation. The article also attempts to further the feminist discourse by demonstrating how embracing the female body as redemptive can lead to a more liberated, inclusive and effective feminist agenda.
The recent discussions elicited by the Katelyn Faber vs. Kobe Bryant case in 2003 and the Supreme Court's treatment of female bodily expressions in the nude cases reveal underlying assumptions about female bodily expressions that perpetuate patriarchy. Sexual profiling infiltrates all areas of life. It has even affected feminist jurisprudence's treatment of the female body. Consequently, recognizing the underlying presence of sexual profiling in legal and feminists' evaluations of female bodily expression is essential to advancing any women-centric legal reforms.

Paul Boudreaux, A Case for Recognizing Unenumerated Powers of Congress, 9 N.Y.U. J. Legis. & Pub. Pol'y 551 (2006)Clicking on the button will copy the full recommended citation.
Many federal statutes are justified constitutionally as the regulation of interstate commerce. But it is disingenuous to characterize the Endangered Species Act, anti-discrimination law, and many criminal statues in this way. This article argues that it would be more honest, more straightforward, and better for the nation to recognize explicitly that Congress holds certain unenumerated powers. Using principles developed in the field of unenumerated individual constitutional rights, the article suggests categories for such rights, including fields in which states are discouraged from acting, fields that involve foreign affairs, and fields that implicate national symbols and future ideals. These limits would in turn offer hope for a strengthened system of federalism.

Linda S. Anderson, Protecting Parent-Child Relationships: Determining Parental Rights of Same-Sex Parents Consistently Despite Varying Recognition of Their Relationship, 5 Pierce L. Rev. 1 (2006)Clicking on the button will copy the full recommended citation.
This article discusses the potentially unseen effects of the different ways states recognize children of same-sex partners. It considers how states can allow or ban civil unions or same-sex marriages without causing uncertainty regarding parental rights and responsibilities. The article proposes changes to the Uniform Parentage Act and state statutes that would cause them to focus on the parent-child relationship rather than on the relationship of the parents.
