Contact: [email protected] Lesbian Jurisprudence? Ruthann Robson* 'The inquiry is lesbian jurisprudence. Does it exist? Can it exist? How is it different from recent "attempts" at feminist juris- prudence,' if at all? How is it different from jurisprudential at- tempts to ground homosexuality, 2 if at all? And if lesbian jurisprudence exists, what are its characteristics, its concerns, its methodologies? And if lesbian jurisprudence is being created, what should be its characteristics, its concerns, its methodologies? This article poses the question of lesbian jurisprudence. In order to understand the complexity of the question, this article first offers some preliminary definitions for lesbianism as well as a brief explication of jurisprudence. Combining lesbian and juris- prudence into a question, this article limits the question by re- jecting two possible answers: that lesbian jurisprudence is feminist jurisprudence and that lesbian jurisprudence is a paradigm capable of universal application. The article then seeks to give present im- aginative content to the question by drawing upon mythical meta- phors from our collective past and by surveying science fiction conceptions of the future. The mythical metaphors serve a pur- pose similar to that served by the common embodiment of justice as a woman blindfolded and holding a scale.

  • Jackson Hole Cowboys
    Jan. 29, 2006--- JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. -- I hear cowboys are the next big thing. As Oscar season approaches, cowboys are getting notice for walking the line or crossing it. Johnny Cash seemed to be on to this in 1991 when he released the album "The Mystery of Life." Well, partner, there's no mystery about the best place to be a real cowboy: The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole (pop. 8,700). The bar dates back to 1937, and cowpokes like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr. have played the room. Original owner Ben Goe had the first liquor license in the state of Wyoming since the repeal of Prohibition, and the bar is included on the Jackson Hole Historical Society's downtown walking tour. The bar walls are lined with knobbled pine imported from forests in western Wyoming, and the bar top is inlaid with 624 silver dollars. Guests sit at the 75-foot- long bar atop any one of 38 big-butt saddles, with stirrups that were installed in the mid-1980s. Some people sit sidesaddle, others get on and can't get off -- and that's before they've had a couple of cold Teton beers. The dance floor can hold up to 50 swinging couples, and the downtown roadhouse has four very active pool tables. I visited the cowboy bar a year ago after getting a custom cowboy hat made down the street at the Jackson Hole Hat Co. The hats are built one at a time in the back of the store.

BY OWEN KEEHNEN It’s tough to out-butch Christy Webber. The small-town girl from Montrose, Mich. (near Flint), grew up loving to hunt, fish, skate and snowmobile. The outdoors was her playground. As a teen she was the National Powder Puff Motorcross Champion. She attended college at the University of Denver, where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in physical education and played sports for the university, most notably Wilson as a star on the women’s basketball team. After college Webber worked briefly as a P.E. teacher, Cruz at but always felt she had some bigger contribu- tion to make.

Jennie Rule met Christy Webber eight years ago at Girlbar on North Halsted. That night, Rule recalls coming down the stairs and being first captivated by Webber’s white shoes.

In the months to come, Webber would change all that.

LESBIAN PERSPECTIVE, LESBIAN EXPERIENCE, AND THE RISK OF ESSENTIALISM Patricia A. Cain* INTRODUCTION In the spring of 1989 at the 20th National Conference on Women and the Law, I made a plea for feminist legal theorists to consider les- bian perspective and experience in the formulation of their theories.' I argued that ignoring the reality of our (i.e., lesbians') different experi- ence is to fall into the "essentialist trap."'2 In other words, I believed then, as I do now, that it is dangerous to build grand or totalizing feminist theory from the perspective of only a few women. Two important things have happened since I gave that speech: (1) some people have told me that they perceived my project as one de- signed to uncover the "essential lesbian" and add her voice to the building of feminist legal theory; and (2) other people, including les- bian lawyers and academics, have pushed far beyond my 1989 chal- lenge and are working on the development of a lesbian legal theory.

  • 2004 Cotter High School Dedicat- Grandparents Join Them in This Event
    Cotter High School Ramblin’s Cotter Mission Statement Cotter is a Catholic school community promoting excellence through prayer, learning and service. Office of the President Preparing for the future of Cotter There have been numerous articles published recently in various newspapers, from the Wall Street Journal to the Winona Daily News regarding the decline in secondary students’ math and science scores in the United States. Many of these articles have outlined the challenges needed to meet the demand for educated workers. Cotter High School has been striving to translate these challenges into opportunities. Across the nation, states are analyzing projections of high school graduates, which sug- gest that in the near future Minnesota will not be producing enough college graduates to meet the total workforce demands of replacing retirees and filling new positions. President of Cotter Schools According to a report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, between 2008 and Dr. Craig W. Junker 2030, "Roughly 76 million baby boomers will leave the workforce, some of them retir- ing well before they reach 65. But only 48 million workers in Generation X will be available to replace them." Although there is a growing demand for highly-educated workers in order to sustain and grow the economy, Minnesota will face the prospect of growing education gaps, workforce deficits, and the loss of jobs to other states and nations. Research cited by the Minnesota Private College Council point out that the number of jobs in Minnesota, requiring some college education, will grow by 21 percent from 2002-2012. Jobs in engineering and science related areas are increasing three times faster than other professions, yet a declining number of high school students are prepared for–or encouraged to pursue–related college degrees.

Progress was also made in developing NEIU‘s General Education Program into a University Core Curriculum, which includes more opportunities for engaged learning experiences. As you will find in this year‘s report, CAS programs have hosted career fairs, alumni events, student awards ceremonies, café societies, brown bag seminars and speaker series; and they have established scholarships for students.
