Localism As A Production Imperative: An Alternative Framework To Promoting Intangible Cultural Heritage And Expressions Of Folklore, Jon M. Garon
Jon M. Garon
In the United States, the policy of localism – the legislative goal of fostering local community expression and competence to deliver local content – finds its home in the Telecommunications Act rather than either the Copyright Act or Trademark Act. Other nations have introduced values of localism into trade policy, content distribution rules, and international efforts to protect intangible cultural heritage and expressions of folklore.Jurisdictions in every continent are struggling to address the pressures of globalism through efforts to protect indigenous peoples’ and minority communities’ languages and culture. These efforts take many forms. Nations have introduced efforts to protect these …
"Is It Legal?": An American Law Professor's Tribute To An English Lawyer Tv Sitcom, Robert M. Jarvis
"Is It Legal?": An American Law Professor's Tribute To An English Lawyer Tv Sitcom, Robert M. Jarvis
Robert M. Jarvis
This paper introduces readers to a forgotten 1990s English TV sitcom called "Is It Legal?" and then compares it to a similar American TV sitcom called "Sparks." In the course of describing the show's characters and plots, the paper discusses the regulation of attorneys, the functioning of law firms, and the business aspects of the television industry.
A Closer Look: A Symposium Among Legal Historians And Law Librarians To Uncover The Spanish Roots Of Louisiana Civil Law, Vicenç Feliú, Dennis Kim-Prieto, Teresa Miguel

The debate regarding whether the origin of Louisiana civil law is based in the Spanish or in the French legal tradition has been ongoing since that state’s incorporation into the United States as a result of the Louisiana Purchase. Distinguished legal scholars have argued in favor of one tradition being dominant over the other, and each has been staunch in support of that view. This article proposes and demonstrates that the Spanish, not French, civil law had an enormous influence on the creation and evolution of Louisiana civil law, and that this legacy resonates today.

Enzyme Entrapment In Reprecipitated Polyaniline Nano- And Microparticles, Louis R. Nemzer, Austin Schwartz, Arthur Epstein
Enzyme Entrapment In Reprecipitated Polyaniline Nano- And Microparticles, Louis R. Nemzer, Austin Schwartz, Arthur Epstein
Louis R Nemzer
We introduce a novel method for fabricating nano- and microscale polyaniline particles containing an entrapped oxidoreductase enzyme for use in biosensing applications. This facile process utilizes the reprecipitation of the emeraldine base form of polyaniline from an aqueous-organic suspension, with hydrophobic collapse and subsequent cross-linking of the polymer induced by adjusting the ionic strength beyond a critical threshold. We present UV-vis spectroscopy data, including a quantitative treatment of the spectral line width, along with dynamic light scatting results, to explain the conformation changes in the polyaniline chains that accompany this transition. The resultant aggregated supermolecular polyaniline formations immobilize enzymes via …
A Polyaniline-Based Optical Biosensing Platform Using An Entrapped Oxidoreductase Enzyme, Louis R. Nemzer, Arthur Epstein
A Polyaniline-Based Optical Biosensing Platform Using An Entrapped Oxidoreductase Enzyme, Louis R. Nemzer, Arthur Epstein
Louis R Nemzer
A novel optical biosensing platform utilizing the unique solubility and chemochromic properties of polyaniline is presented. A facile, ion-induced reprecipitation method leads to the entrapment of a chosen oxidoreductase enzyme, which, in the presence of its associated substrate, catalyzes a reversible redox change in the host polymer. This change is monitored via the UV–vis absorption and subsequently analyzed to fit a Michaelis–Menten model. Here, in vitro prototype devices demonstrate selective sensing of glucose, choline, and uric acid, and the potential to be adapted for use as part of real-time in vivo monitoring systems is discussed
