Life after Hardwick
Article Abstract:
The US Supreme Court's decision in Bowers v Hardwick came at a time when the meaning of sodomy in the law was changing, from the criminalization of specific acts linked to concepts regarding the immorality of non-procreative sex to the criminalization of homosexual acts. The court ruled that the right of privacy does not extinguish the state's interest in controlling what the state considers immoral behavior. The decision left questions regarding the Equal Protection status of homosexuals in states with anti-sodomy laws.

Expanding the market for justice: arguments for extending in-person client solicitation
Article Abstract:
Laws limiting attorney solicitation of clients restrict the ability of low-income consumers to use legal services. Advertising by lawyers may result in better service for more people at less cost. In-person solicitation by attorneys, properly regulated, might also help low-income consumers by providing the opportunity to interact with attorneys on a personal level. The legal community's opposition to lawyer advertising and solicitation are paternalistic and restrict free speech.
