The Liberal As An Enemy Of Queer Justice, Craig Schamel

Catalyst: A Social Justice Forum

Abstract

Liberalism as a historical mode of the political is the context in which the movement and ensuing struggle for queer justice emerged in most Western countries. The terminology, practices, tendencies, beliefs, ethics, laws, and patterns of political and social life which have been determined by this mode of the political, it is argued, are inimical to queer justice and render its achievement impossible. Liberalism as a mode of the political is approached from below, from knowledge gained in practical experience in queer groups which considered themselves revolutionary at least to some degree, and from the effects on such groups …

Amendment Ii: A Consideration Of The History, Passage & Potential Effects Of The Latest Judicial Selection Process In Tennessee, William H. Neal Iii, Jarrod B. Casteel

The Forum: A Tennessee Student Legal Journal

Introduction: On November 4, 2014, the Judicial Selection Amendment

(Amendment II) to the Tennessee Constitution came before the state’s

electorate. Amendment II sought to replace the role played by the Judicial

Nominating Commission by expanding the governor’s appellate judiciary

appointment power while simultaneously clarifying and codifying what is

known as the Tennessee Plan for judicial selection. Although some felt that

this amendment went directly against the measured determinations of the

state constitution’s drafters, Amendment II passed by a relatively wide

margin, thereby altering and solidifying the judicial selection process in the

State of Tennessee. While the voters of Tennessee expressed …

The Greenhouse Effect: Decomposition Rates In Human Remains Wrapped In Plastic, Barbara R. Forman

Masters Theses

Determining an accurate estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) of human remains is important for several reasons. First, it is used to determine whether the individual is recently deceased, and therefore of medicolegal concern. If so, the estimated PMI is used in narrowing the possible identities of the deceased. PMI can also be used in excluding, or convicting, a murder suspect.
