  • transitions in state public health law comparative analysis of state public health law reform following the turning point model state public health act
    American Journal of Public Health, 2009
    Co-Authors: Benjamin Mason Meier, James G Hodge, Kristine M Gebbie
    Abstract:

    Given the public health importance of law modernization, we undertook a comparative analysis of policy efforts in 4 states (Alaska, South Carolina, Wisconsin, and Nebraska) that have considered public health law reform based on the Turning Point Model State Public Health Act. Through national legislative tracking and state case studies, we investigated how the Turning Point Act's model Legal Language has been considered for incorporation into state law and analyzed key facilitating and inhibiting factors for public health law reform. Our findings provide the practice community with a research base to facilitate further law reform and inform future scholarship on the role of law as a determinant of the public's health.

  • the frege geach problem modus ponens and Legal Language
    Problemos, 2018
    Co-Authors: Vitaly V Ogleznev
    Abstract:

    [full article, abstract in English; only abstract in Lithuanian] This paper proposes a new pragmatic interpretation of the Frege–Geach problem and presents a possible solution using a model of ascriptive Legal Language. The first section includes the definition of the Frege–Geach problem. In the second section, I analyze the content of Geach’s critical argument against prescriptivism in ethics. I discuss what Geach means by ascriptivism, why he mixes it with prescriptivism, and why a particular article by Herbert Hart became the subject of criticism by Geach. The third section proposes a possible solution to the Frege–Geach problem based on the explication of the assertoric force of ascriptive Legal utterances and the performativity of Legal Language.

  • quel genre de droit autopsie du sexisme dans la langue juridique autopsy of sexism in Legal Language
    Social Science Research Network, 2017
    Co-Authors: Michael Lessard, Suzanne Zaccour
    Abstract:

    French Abstract: Diriez-vous d’un tribunal dont on limite la competence qu’on lui coupe les couilles? Diriez-vous d’une enfant violee qu’elle a vecu une « aventure sexuelle »? Diriez-vous de 30 avocates et d’un document qu’« ils » se trouvent dans la salle d’audience? Si vous avez repondu « non » a ces provocations, vous aimerez cet article. Si vous avez repondu « oui », vous en avez besoin. Nous traquons ici le sexisme dans la langue du droit. Effacer les femmes, pathologiser les meres, banaliser les violences: tels sont quelques-uns des effets discriminatoires de ce sexisme langagier que nous entreprenons de detailler sous toutes ses coutures. L’analyse du sexisme langagier doit devenir un champ d’etude en bonne et due forme. A cette fin, nous offrons une nomenclature des sexismes jurilinguistiques (lexical, grammatical, terminologique…), ainsi que deux nouvelles notions: la feminisation ostentatoire, un feminin marquee a l’oral, et le plafond de verre linguistique, cette obstination a nommer au masculin les femmes occupant de hautes fonctions. Notre etude offre des outils aux juges, avocat·es, notaires, legistes et autres practicien·nes du droit pour demasquer le sexisme cache dans leurs communications et se familiariser avec les nouveaux developpements en matiere de redaction inclusive. English Abstract: Would you say of a court whose jurisdiction was reduced that it was “emasculated”? Would you say of a child who was raped that she enjoyed a “sexual adventure”? Would you say of a high-ranking woman that “he” got the job? If you answered “no” to these provocations, you will enjoy this article. If you answered “yes”, you need to read it. Here we track sexism in the Language of the law. Erasing women, pathologizing mothers, normalizing violence: these are but some of the discriminatory effects of the linguistic sexism that we undertake to detail in its every shape and form. The study of linguistic sexism must become a proper area of research. To this end, we offer a nomenclature of jurilinguistic sexisms (lexical, grammatical, terminological), as well as two new notions: ostentatious feminines and the linguistic glass ceiling. The former qualifies feminine forms that are significantly different from the masculine. The latter refers to some people’s stubborn designation of women in power in the masculine form in French. Our study offers tools for judges, lawyers, notaries, legists, and other Legal practitioners to unmask the sexism hidden in their communications and familiarize themselves with new developments in inclusive writing.
