Present At The Creation: Reflections On The Early Years Of The National Association Of Corporate Directors, Lawrence J. Trautman
Lawrence J. Trautman Sr.

Ideological Voting Applied To The School Desegregation Cases In The Federal Courts Of Appeals From The 1960’S And 70’S, Joe Custer
Joe Custer
This paper considers a research suggestion from Cass Sunstein to analyze segregation cases from the 1960's and 1970's and whether three hypothesis he projected in the article "Ideological Voting on Federal Courts of Appeals: A Preliminary Investigation," 90 Va.

Then the paper will analyze parallels between the interpretation …

Globalisation And Legal Scholarship In Colombia: Petit Commentaire On William Twining’S 2009 Montesquieu Lecture, Marco A. Velásquez-Ruiz
Marco A. Velásquez-Ruiz
This article explores the challenges facing legal education in Colombia from the standpoint of law as an arguable tool for social change. It addresses the following question: Are the reasoning, content and skills transmitted to students at law schools in Colombia suitable for addressing the challenges of social change? The author considers that the ideas introduced by Professor Twining on the implications of globalisation for the discipline of law provide rich insights for the Colombian case. The article assumes that Twining's arguments relating to the need for instrumental assistance in legal education so as to properly deal with globalisation are …
