Personal Insights And Experiences Regarding The Passage Of Title Ix , Birch Bayh Jan 2007

Personal Insights And Experiences Regarding The Passage Of Title Ix , Birch Bayh

Cleveland State Law Review

My purpose here today is to look at some of the legislative history of Title IX, and perhaps some of the details that never made it into the Congressional Record, and also to include my personal involvement in it. I do that with some fear and trepidation because it sounds like one is puffing himself up.It is fair to ask, “How can a kid who grew up on a corn and soybean farm, raising pigs and hogs and cattle and calves, chickens, how in the world could he ever get to be a United States Senator, let alone become involved …

American Diagnostic Radiology Moves Offshore: Is This Field Riding The "Internet Wave" Into A Regulatory Abyss?, Archie A. Alexander Iii Jan 2007

American Diagnostic Radiology Moves Offshore: Is This Field Riding The "Internet Wave" Into A Regulatory Abyss?, Archie A. Alexander Iii

Journal of Law and Health

Recent trends in the American workplace are suggesting that outsourcing is becoming more commonplace, and currently no job or its work product may be safe from outsourcing. American blue-collar workers are certainly not surprised by these trends because they have experienced outsourcing related job losses since the early 1970s. Even those white-collar jobs traditionally considered immune to outsourcing pressures, such as those held by medical specialists, are now threatened. Most workers know outsourcing as a process whereby a domestic firm transfers some portion of their work product or a job to a different firm that resides either onshore in America …


The Andrea Yates Case: Insanity On Trial, Phillip J. Resnick Jan 2007

The Andrea Yates Case: Insanity On Trial, Phillip J. Resnick

Cleveland State Law Review

On June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates drowned each of her five children in her bathtub. The nation struggled to understand how a loving mother could systematically kill her children in apparent cold blood. No crime evokes more intense feelings than a mother killing her own children. There was extraordinary media coverage of her trial in Houston, Texas in 2002. Her defense attorneys, George Parnham and Wendell Odom entered a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) to multiple counts of first degree murder with death penalty specifications. The 2002 trial jury verdict of guilty was overturned on appeal. …


Punishing Women: The Promise And Perils Of Contextualized Sentencing For Aboriginal Women In Canada, Toni Williams Jan 2007

Punishing Women: The Promise And Perils Of Contextualized Sentencing For Aboriginal Women In Canada, Toni Williams

Cleveland State Law Review

This article examines the failure of Canadian sentencing reforms to remedy the over-incarceration of Aboriginal woman through exploration of a sentencing methodology that judges may employ to give effect to the reforms: the social contextualization of women's lawbreaking. Social context analysis developed as a critique of how the state controls and punishes women and as a way to expose failures of justice. More recently, commentators have suggested that the insertion of social context analysis into the sentencing process might allow courts to find new and more robust justifications for lowering the penalties they impose on women lawbreakers from marginalized communities. …


Law As Symbol: Appearances In The Regulation Of Investment Advisers And Attorneys , Larry D. Barnett Jan 2007

Law As Symbol: Appearances In The Regulation Of Investment Advisers And Attorneys , Larry D. Barnett

Cleveland State Law Review

From a macrosociological perspective, law is an institution of society, is shaped by conditions in society, and facilitates social life by interalia producing symbols. Law accordingly adopts concepts and principles that focus on the appearance to society of certain phenomena and that are symbols when the phenomena are socially significant. To illustrate symbols in law, the article examines (i) the "hold oneself out" standard in defining an investment adviser under the federal Investment Advisers Act and (ii) the standard for ethical conduct that requires attorneys to avoid appearances of impropriety. If symbolic concepts and principles are tied to the properties …
