The Elwood Case: Vindicating The Educational Rights Of The Disabled, A. Wayne Mackay
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
The guarantees of the Charter of Rights affect the definition of education for the disabled. The case of Elwood v. Halifax County - Bedford District School Board, a landmark case in educational rights of disabled children in Canada, has major implications for educational practice.
One of the earliest and most controversial Charter of Rights challenges to the existing educational structure has come from parents of disabled children. Disabled children and their parents are blazing a trail to define educational rights in Canada, and the process is giving some shape to the the elusive concept of equality enshrined in the …
The Impact Of Medical Technology On The Pregnant Woman's Right To Privacy, George J. Annas
The Impact Of Medical Technology On The Pregnant Woman's Right To Privacy, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
In the context of the bicentennial of the Constitution and science's relationship to society, it has been argued that "the advance of science and technology in the West has changed not only the relation of man to nature but of man to man."' This seemingly immodest statement may soon prove an understatement. In the arena of human reproduction, the marriage of science and technology in medicine may change not only the relationship of man to nature and man to man, but more significantly, the very concept of what it means to be human. This, in turn, will directly affect how …

Part II comments upon existing statutory and common law limitations on the discretion of trustee-investors to adopt policies of social investing. Part III analyzes the empirical research on the extent to which preclusion of a set of investment opportunities may impair the performance of a typical trustee-investor's portfolio, both with respect to rate of return and risk.

Secret Rights, Girardeau A. Spann
Secret Rights, Girardeau A. Spann
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Since the seventeenth century, when the concept of rights first came into vogue, philosophers and social theorists have struggled to articulate an acceptable theory of individual rights, but their efforts remain largely unsatisfactory. Without exception, each effort falters when it attempts to describe the contours of the rights that are entitled to protection or to explain the ways in which competing claims of right should interact. This is true whether a theorist seeks to define a right through reference to its substantive content or through reference to the procedures by which the right can be recognized. Given the collective stature …
The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr
The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr
Faculty Works
The Hopi Indians of northeastern Arizona have existed as a stable or steady state society for a thousand years or more, and, even though they have felt the impact of white growth society in this century, they have maintained a greater cultural integrity than any other native people in the United States. This Article examines traditional Hopi values and institutions, especially their law. Hopi thinking and social organization were shaped by a profound reverence for their environment and an equally profound awareness of the constraints it imposed. With its growing sense of a need for balance with the environment, modern …
