This article offers a theoretical and empirical analysis of legal endogeneity—a powerful process through which institutionalized organizational structures influence judicial conceptions compliance with antidiscrimination law. It finds that (e.g., grievance evaluation procedures, antiharassment policies) become symbolic indicators rational governance laws, first within organizations, but eventually in the realm as well. Lawyers judges tend to infer nondiscrimination from mere presence those...
The Family and Medical Leave Act requires employers to provide job-protected leave, but little is known about how these leave rights operate in practice or they interact with other normative systems construct the meaning of leave. Drawing on interviews workers who negotiated contested leaves, this study examines social institutions influence workplace mobilization rights. I find that remain embedded within institutionalized conceptions work, gender, disability shape workers' perceptions,...
Since the Civil Litigation Research Project in 1980s, sociolegal researchers have referenced metaphor of dispute pyramid to understand resolution. The focuses on formal legal resolution and represents disputes as a linear process attrition which only small proportion perceived injuries proceed adjudication. Although fertile metaphor, approach left important processes undertheorized understudied. We propose new metaphor: tree. tree has many branches, both nonlegal, through grievances may be...
This article expands upon the idea that repeat players influence development of law by settling cases they are likely to lose and litigating win. Through empirical analysis judicial opinions interpreting Family Medical Leave Act, it shows how rule-making opportunities in litigation process affect determination statutory rights. In addition, explains early might later interpretations law. Although individuals may successfully mobilize gain benefits their disputes, success often removes...
Work and family scholarship increasingly focuses on how institutions constrain the choices of families struggling to balance market work with care work. Recent legal reforms, including Family Medical Leave Act, also focus institutional reform alleviate work/family conflict. This article reviews important empirical questions raised by this turn in both law social science. How have changes contributed conflict? Have reforms produced more egalitarian sharing between men women? do organizations...
Most of the work public interest law organizations does not make money. How do these survive, given economic realities practice? Drawing on survey data from a national random sample firms, we investigate how funding models vary across and sources affect organizations’ activities. We find structures have, over time, shifted away foundation support toward government grants. Compared to other organizations, however, conservative draw significantly less their budget federal state grants, more...
Public interest law organizations (PILOs) are important institutions for providing access to justice in the United States. How have political, economic, and institutional factors shaped PILOs? do PILOs vary services they offer their geographical location relative poverty population States? This article investigates these questions by combining original survey data from a representative sample of public with GIS on poverty. We find that presence PILO is positively related political...
The mechanisms of transfer and breakup in heavy-ion-induced reactions have been studied for the $^{20}$Ne${+\mathrm{}}^{197}$Au system at bombarding energies 220 341 MeV. A 4\ensuremath{\pi} detector was used to separate leading production projectilelike fragments into components having either two charged bodies final state (transfer) or three more (breakup). For both components, angular distributions, energy spectra, cross sections are shown projectile Z=3--9. ratio inclusive yields...
Status-based theories of labor market inequality contend that, even when workers have identical qualifications and performance, employers evaluate them differently based on stereotypes about their status group. Gender parenthood are characteristics that affect decisions hiring, pay, promotion through mothers should not work, fathers take leave, caregivers either gender less reliable, committed workers. We family-leave laws mitigate these effects by conveying a consensus both men women can...
Emerging methods for participatory algorithm design have proposed collecting and aggregating individual stakeholders' preferences to create algorithmic systems that account those values. Drawing on two years of research across public school districts in the United States, we study how families use students' schools meet their goals context student assignment systems. We find preference language, i.e. structure which participants must express needs decision-maker, shapes opportunities...
