skilled advocate for equal rights and equal opportunity september 19 2020 by david yamada in diversity and discrimination law and legal profession strategies for change tags diversity and discrimination law and legal profession strategies for change 1 comment the passing of u s supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg is a deeply sad and momentous occasion as an associate justice of the court justice ginsburg was a steady and passionate voice for equal rights and equal opportunity given the moniker the notorious rbg she became a hero and pop culture icon to so many women especially who rightly looked to her as a role model justice ginsburg s important contributions to american jurisprudence will be studied by lawyers judges law professors and law students for many years after all the rulings of the u s supreme court and the voting patterns and written opinions of individual justices attract considerable attention every american law student takes a required course in constitutional law where supreme court cases interpreting the u s constitution form the main focus of study in my employment discrimination course we devote primary attention to supreme court decisions interpreting major federal employment discrimination laws ginsburg s death leaves a significant void on the court and has triggered what will be an ugly and divisive political battle over the confirmation of her successor if donald trump and senate leader mitch mcconnell succeed in filling this vacancy it is likely that the ideological balance of the court will be tipped in a way that threatens reversals in women s rights workers rights and civil rights generally for a generation attorney ginsburg but i shall leave that for a later commentary rather as we reflect upon ruth bader ginsburg s signature contributions i d like to focus on her legacy as a public interest lawyer even had she never sat for a day on america s highest court her work as a pioneering advocate for needed changes in the law would have left a great record of accomplishment as moira donegan writes for the guardian link here strategic contemplative and disciplined but with a passion for the feminist cause that is rarely admitted into the halls of power ginsburg established an impressive legal legacy long before she became a judge over the course of a two decade career as a lawyer before her appointment to the dc circuit court of appeals she successfully argued cases that expanded civil rights law and 14th amendment protections to women undoing a dense network of laws that had codified sex discrimination in all areas of american life ginsburg is the rare supreme court justice whose most significant work was done before she joined the court ginsburg personally argued six gender discrimination cases before the then all male supreme court winning five she built on her victories one by one establishing precedents that made future victories easier to win first was reed v reed 1971 a monumental victory that struck down an idaho law favoring men over women in estate battles that case extended the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment to women barring laws that discriminated by sex ginsburg followed this case with victories in frontiero v richardson 1973 barring gender discrimination in compensation of military members and weinberger v wiesenfeld 1975 striking down gender discrimination in state benefits her tactics were savvy she framed gender discrimination in ways that made the practice seem unreasonable even to hardened misogynists indeed perhaps attorney ginsburg s body of work best informs everyday lawyers and law students who wish to use their training to advocate for desired changes in the law while serving as a law professor at the columbia and rutgers law schools in the 1970s she forged an association with the american civil liberties union that would fuel her advocacy work this included co founding the aclu s women s rights project and serving as its general counsel the period covered much of her most significant civil rights litigation work it is a testament to ruth bader ginsburg s character determination and ability that she has left multiple legacies among these her work on the supreme court will be the defining one to many but i hope that lawyers and law students particularly won t forget her vital contributions as a legal advocate share this print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on linkedin opens in new window linkedin share on x opens in new

experience of work public health tags experience of work public health 4 comments image courtesy of clipart panda com i m going to sound a little pollyannish in this entry yesterday it struck me once again how many people are digging very deep to provide goods and services to all of us to keep small businesses up and running and to generally give us some semblance of normalcy as we continue to live in the shadow of this pandemic yesterday i walked over to the main retail district of my jamaica plain neighborhood in boston for a visit to the post office a long needed haircut yes even us balding fellows need a trim now and then and a stop by my local food store i first went to the post office to pick up some stamps it reminded me of how helpful my mail deliverer has been during this time especially given how many packages i ve received during the past few months i then walked into sal s barber shop to see everyone in masks and plastic partitions between each chair after a short wait i sat down for my first haircut since march it was over quickly like i said it s mostly chrome on top and i felt completely safe in that environment the owner was so grateful for my business but i felt like i should be thanking them for keeping their shop open while following safety guidelines finally i went over the main store of city feed supply and filled a small bag with some goodies for home the city feed s grocery delivery service has been a lifeline for me during this pandemic i was happy to see the store s co founder setting up tables and chairs as part of a new local initiative to allow for more outdoor cafe and dining service i hope that we ll get a long new england fall so that folks can safely enjoy their coffee pastries and sandwiches in some nice weather i claim no great epiphanies from yesterday s neighborhood sojourn just a deep and renewed appreciation for those whose labors are contributing so much to the sometimes buffeted but always resilient fabric of our communities during challenging times these everyday heroes step up to make a positive difference in our lives share this print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in new window facebook

september 7 2020 by david yamada in academic workplaces education and learning leadership public health tags academic workplaces education and learning leadership public health leave a comment the new back to school prep this strange anxious and difficult period marked by a pandemic that has changed our lives dramatically has caused me to engage in no small amount of reflection on my role as an educator i keep coming back to the notion of teaching as a form of everyday leadership by march the coronavirus situation was well on its way toward becoming a global pandemic in response my university like so many others announced that we would be teaching the rest of the semester online for a lot of faculty including yours truly that meant using the zoom videoconferencing platform that now has become a staple in many millions of lives this fall it s pretty much more of the same except that we re starting off the term online rather than switching modalities in mid semester i m grateful that we have technologies that allow us to have live classes under normal circumstances most of us would prefer to be in face to face classrooms but these are not normal times at least in a city that was one of the nation s covid 19 hotspots during the spring and early summer we re doing better now but we cannot take this threat lightly this isn t what our students signed up for in terms of an educational experience i m a law professor and in normal times both our full time day and part time evening students have the benefit of studying law right in the heart of boston they have the use of a beautiful building and a spacious law library with a variety of on site services ready to help them they are within walking distance of legal employers courthouses and government offices for now however instead of having all that most are logging in from their homes or workplaces to attend law classes online the disruptions to their usual lives and to their degree programs have often been substantial of course i understand that the lives of educators administrators and staff in higher education have been upended as well we will never forget the unsettling transition of suddenly going into lockdown mode while wondering if the most momentary contacts with the outside world will cause us and people we care about to get very sick adapting our work lives around these new realities hasn t been easy nevertheless practicing everyday leadership means rising above our own challenges to educate support and inspire our students how we present ourselves and engage our students in this online mode will greatly impact how they perceive the experience of studying remotely some will also look to us for cues on how to get things done while emotionally navigating the dramatic changes in our lives i m fortunate to teach at a university where our students are generally not entitled or spoiled quite understandably they re not happy with this situation but they are doing their best to adapt to it if they see their instructors putting in the effort to make these courses useful and interesting then they are likely to respond in kind of course teaching is like that generally the ability effort and emotional intelligence of individual professors always make a difference but under current circumstances these qualities matter even more share this print opens in new window print
