Topic: Covering law


  
  The Yale Law Journal - Covering
Yet Yoshino maintains that racial minorities and women are not as immune to assimilationist demands as their general inability to convert or pass may suggest, as such groups are routinely asked to cover.
Indeed, Yoshino argues that enforced covering is the contemporary form of discrimination to which racial minorities and women remain the most vulnerable.
Yoshino thus contends that resistance to the covering demand in the legal and political spheres is an issue around which racial minorities, women, and gays might make common cause.

 Catholic Apologetics International
The Code of Canon Law is a document that for the most part does not deal with liturgical law (see canon 2 of both the old and the new codes).
The starting point for the "thirty years" is not when liberal Catholics decided to dispense with head coverings, but with the Catholics of the first century who practiced the custom of head covering, and which St. Paul reinforced by giving it a divine basis connected to the authority of the man over the woman.
One cannot appeal to the fact that, when a law was in force, people observed the law and say that this resulted in a custom that has force of law even after the law dealing with the matter is abrogated.

 Texas Payday Law - Online Version with Commentary
Interpretation of federal employment laws is not uniform throughout the country; indeed, federal courts and federal agencies often disagree on both major and minor points under various laws.
Because interpretation of laws is not uniform, and because each case must be decided on an individual basis, it is not always safe to assume that a particular case will result in a particular outcome.
Users should be aware that the only official version of the Texas Payday Law is found in the Texas Labor Code, Chapter 61, which may be found in most public and law school libraries and in a "semi-official" version on the Internet at www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/la/la0006100toc.html.

 Welcome to ModestWorld.com! The first Rabbinical approved clothing store on the web! Hats, Snoods, Caps, Head Scarves, ...
The Poskim (Rabbi's that rule the law) write that even the lenient opinion (that maintains that she is not halachically (by law) duty-bound to cover her hair in privacy) agrees that it is an extremely praiseworthy act of tznius (modesty) for a woman to cover her hair whenever possible (even in bed).
She must, therefore cover whatever is halachically (according to law) not considered to be part of the neck.
Although there is no halachic (law) obligation to cover the forearms, nevertheless, this part of the arms offer an opportunity for a woman or girl to exercise her own instinctive feeling for refinement, where halacha (law) has not demanded of her.

 From veil to wig: Jewish women's hair covering Judaism - Find Articles
It is doubtful that hair covering marked a transition from maidenhood to a married state.
Yet, custom in Judaism, unlike law, "functions without preconceived intent and anonymously."(10) Custom is formulated by the practice of the people, not decreed from on high by authorities.
The Mishnah appears to say that the duty to cover hair is a dat Yehudit rather than a Law of Moses, clearly implying that there is a distinction between a "Mosaic Law" and a "Jewish Law" (dat Yehudit).

Writing law was easy back then: a king usually did it all by himself, without having to talk to anybody else about what those laws would say.
But if the law says that something cannot be done and someone has done it, even if it is not in the criminal laws, then a judge will order that the situation be corrected.
A constitution is known as the "law of laws" because it spells out the procedure for writing laws and can contain some special conditions that all laws must meet.

 law.com - Decision
Federal law will override state law under the Supremacy Clause when (1) Congress expressly preempts state law; (2) Congressional intent to preempt may be inferred from the existence of a pervasive federal regulatory scheme; or (3) state law conflicts with federal law or its purposes.
The issuance of these regulations does not preempt provisions of State criminal law that impose sanctions for reckless conduct of an individual that leads to actual loss of life, injury, or damage to property whether such provisions apply specifically to aviation employees or generally to the public.
Deference to state law claims is not at all protected by this language in the way that the analogous FRSA provision is hedged about.

 Covering Law Model
Basically a statement is explained if it is derived from a set of laws together with certain factual statements, as we might explain 'Fido barks' by saying 'All dogs bark and Fido is a dog'.
The laws must be true general statements, and subject to certain restrictions to exclude accidental 'explanations' like 'Fido barks because he is a pet of mine and all my pets (as it happens) bark'.
The laws, however -though general (for example not mentioning particular objects) - need not be universal, and the derivation of the conclusion may be inductive and not deductive; explanations can be statistical or probabilistic as well as 'deductive-monological'.

 Transgender Workplace Diversity: The Law Covering Steve (Susan) Stanton, City Manager Dismissed In Largo, Florida
The St. Petersburg Times published an article discussing the ins and outs of the law on this issue as well as a newspaper can discuss it, which is, of course, not much at all.
In fact, the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Florida, which covers Largo, indicated that discrimination based on transsexuality didn’t seem to be covered by Title VII, the federal law prohibiting employment discrimination.
The city council held power to determine city policy, the city manager was responsible only for ministerial execution of the laws and the administration of city, and the city manager's personnel decisions were circumscribed by local custom, city ordinances, state statutes and the city charter.
