Two months after [Rosa Parks]' arrest. [CIaudette Colvin]'s arrest-and several other Black women who had been similarly arrested-was revisited by some Black attorneys. That formed the basis of a federal class action discrimination suit especially since prior filings in state court "tell on deaf ears." Using Aurelia Browder (a Montgomery homemaker, one of the women who had been arrested) as the named plaintiff, attorney Fred Gray filed a federal case, Browder vs Gayle (W.A. "Tacky" Gayle. Mayor of Montgomery) in the U. S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama in February 1956. After the suit was filed, the city increased its pressure on the MIA. Dr. King and 90 of his followers were arrested and charged with conspiring to conduct a boycott. During the trial. Gray consulted wi...

Judicial federalism occurs when state supreme courts interpret state constitutional provisions as providing more rights than analogous provisions of the U.S. Constitution. In its 2004 decision of Racing Ass’n of Central Iowa v. Fitzgerald, the Iowa Supreme Court engaged in judicial federalism when it struck down a tax law under article I, section 6 of the Iowa Constitution that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld under the U.S. Constitution’s analogous provision, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Although critics attack the decision as a misapplication of the rational-basis test, this Note takes a closer look at article I, section 6 and concludes that the basic result of Racing Ass’n—that article I, section 6 prohibits more economic classificatio...

The question in both cases was whether public school officials could use race-conscious student assignment plans without violating the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment. In 2003, the Supreme Court ruled in a case involving the University of Michigan that the Equal Protection Clause did not prohibit the university's use of race-conscious admissions criteria to promote student body diversity.
Kozlowski discusses the case Brown v Michigan City IN, 2005 US Dist LEXIS 20447 (N.D. Ind. 2005). Plaintiff Robert Brown, a convicted child molester, was banned from entering the City's parks. Brown alleged that defendant Michigan City "violated his procedural and substantive due process rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution," which stipulates that no state shall deprive a citizen of the US of "life, liberty, or property without due process of law." However, despite the molester's claim, the court rules in favor of the park department.

With the Supreme Court's decision on Washington v. Glucksberg, the clash between patient autonomy and cultural mores reached a zenith. Unintended consequences have often resulted in assisted suicide becoming a difficult and complicated matter. Current laws do not serve dying patients well, nor do they give support to the families who often must stand by helplessly when end-of-life wishes of a patient are not honored. This is complicated by a lack of education and empowerment for those who face these difficult decisions. There remains an ambiguity regarding the roles of health care providers immersed in their patients' end-of-life scenarios. The purpose of this article is to examine the case in the context of the codified social customs of the United States, to determine the conflict bet...
