Report Of The Commission To Assess The Threat To The United States From Emp Attack: Critical National Infrastructures, William R. Graham
Report Of The Commission To Assess The Threat To The United States From Emp Attack: Critical National Infrastructures, William R. Graham
George H Baker
The physical and social fabric of the United States is sustained by a system of systems; a complex and dynamic network of interlocking and interdependent infrastructures (“critical national infrastructures”) whose harmonious functioning enables the myriad actions, transactions, and information flow that undergird the orderly conduct of civil society in this country. The vulnerability of these frastructures to threats — deliberate, accidental, and acts of nature — is the focus of greatly heightened concern in the current era, a process accelerated by the events of 9/11 and recent hurricanes, including Katrina and Rita. This report presents the results of the Commission’s …

Holistic Approaches To Classroom Instruction, A Precursor To More Collaborative Lawyers: Reflections Of A Professor And Collaborative Lawyer, Kathy-Ann K. Hart
Holistic Approaches To Classroom Instruction, A Precursor To More Collaborative Lawyers: Reflections Of A Professor And Collaborative Lawyer, Kathy-Ann K. Hart
Kathy-Ann K Hart
Coupling of academia and practice in legal curricula can make programs of law study more holistic than many of them currently are. Encouraging law students to learn in more than one way in the classroom engages them as multi-dimensional learners or beings. As a collaborative lawyer I have a vested interest in increasing the numbers of lawyers who choose collaborative practice and I believe that peaceful, more co-operative ways of practicing law (like employing collaborative principles) can create future lawyers and a legal profession that’s healthier and happier. In this article, I reflect on my application of holistic approaches in …
Really Leaving No Child Behind: How The Supreme Court’S Student Speech Doctrine Compromises Modern Education Reform— And How It Can Use The In Loco Parentis Doctrine To Change It, Scott J. Street
Scott J Street
REALLY LEAVING NO CHILD BEHIND: HOW THE SUPREME COURT’S STUDENT SPEECH DOCTRINE COMPROMISES MODERN EDUCATION REFORM— AND HOW IT CAN USE THE IN LOCO PARENTIS DOCTRINE TO CHANGE IT In June, the Supreme Court decided that a high school principal did not violate one of her student’s First Amendment rights when she punished him for displaying a sign that read “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” as the Olympic torch passed their Alaska school. See Morse v. Frederick, 127 S. Ct. 2618 (2007). But in reaching that conclusion, the Court answered hardly any of the compelling questions that have arisen since it …
Basque In The Foral Community Of Navarre (Cfn), Xabier Irujo, Iñigo Urrutia
Basque In The Foral Community Of Navarre (Cfn), Xabier Irujo, Iñigo Urrutia
Iñigo URRUTIA
The status of the Basque language in Navarre is characterized by the enforcement of a system of linguistic zones that modulates citizens’ linguistic rights depending on where geographically they wish to exercise such rights. In this chapter, the authors describe the legal situation of the Basque language and analyze the development of the linguistic policy in Navarre over the last few years, characterized as it is by its progressively restricted treatment with respect to its own language, which has brought about rebukes from European instances.
Institutes Of Higher Education, Safety Swords, And Privacy Shields: Reconciling Ferpa And The Common Law, Stephanie D. Humphries
Institutes Of Higher Education, Safety Swords, And Privacy Shields: Reconciling Ferpa And The Common Law, Stephanie D. Humphries
Stephanie D Humphries
In light of the Virginia Tech shootings, this Note argues that both FERPA and the common law contain internal tensions regarding safety and privacy that neither Congress nor the courts have adequately reconciled, and that important discrepancies regarding information sharing exist between IHEs' practices, the common law's demands, and FERPA's limitations.
Part I provides background on FERPA and argues that FERPA's emergency exception is too narrow and confusing, so that IHEs default to the nondisclosure option rather than disclosing information to third parties, such as parents, when students threaten to harm themselves or others. At the same time, FERPA's tax …

Cascading Infrastructure Failures: Avoidance And Response, George H. Baker, Cheryl J. Elliott
Cascading Infrastructure Failures: Avoidance And Response, George H. Baker, Cheryl J. Elliott
George H Baker
No critical infrastructure is self-sufficient. The complexity inherent in the interdependent nature of infrastructure systems complicates planning and preparedness for system failures. Recent wide-scale disruption of infrastructure on the Gulf Coast due to weather, and in the Northeast due to electric power network failures, dramatically illustrate the problems associated with mitigating cascading effects and responding to cascading infrastructure failures once they have occurred.
The major challenge associated with preparedness for cascading failures is that they transcend system, corporate, and political boundaries and necessitate coordination among multiple, disparate experts and authorities. This symposium brought together concerned communities including government and industry …
