Mainstreaming Community Development: Business Strategies As Radical Approaches To Community Representation, Daniel S. Shah Jan 2002

Mainstreaming Community Development: Business Strategies As Radical Approaches To Community Representation, Daniel S. Shah

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article argues that law school clinics are a means of providing positive change in representation in community development. Through a detailed case analysis of the Philadelphia Community Development Credit Union, the article illustrates how most technical assistance providers perpetuate an economic development structure which is contrary to consumer demand. These technical assistance providers carry out the goals and plans of the project funders (a top down approach) rather than focusing on the demands of the consumers. Community development clinics can step outside of the current market structure because they receive funding from independent sources and are thus able to …


Comparative Judging Of Civil Rights: A Transnational Critical Race Theory Approach, Tanya K. Hernandez Jan 2002

Comparative Judging Of Civil Rights: A Transnational Critical Race Theory Approach, Tanya K. Hernandez

Faculty Scholarship

Studies consistently demonstrate that the act of judging is influenced by judges personal perspectives and experiences. For instance, research has demonstrated that empirically U.S. Supreme Court justices' behavior is motivated, in large part, by their individual attitudes or judicial philosophies.' In addition, research on the U.S. chief justice's distribution of opinion assignments also suggests that ideology plays a role inasmuch as those justices whose preferences are more closely aligned with the chief justice will be assigned to author opinions. Furthermore, empirical research indicates that the influence of ideology on judges also extends to federal appellate court judges in race relations …

Well-Known Trademark Protection In The People's Republic Of China — Evolution Of The System, Edward Eugene Lehman, Camilla Ojansivu, Stan Abrams

Fordham International Law Journal

Protection of intellectual property is an integral part of China's economic reform policy. It paves the way for faster development of science, technology, and culture and creates a stronger basis for the Chinese market economy. With the rapid development of China's economy, culminating in China's entry into the World Trade Organization (“WTO”), and the pressure put to bear from multinational corporations and the governments of developed countries, the Chinese government has become aware that protection of well-known trademarks pursuant to the standards of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights of the WTO (“TRIPS” or “TRIPS Agreement” or …

Maccrate's Missed Opportunity: The Maccrate Report's Failure To Advance Professional Values Symposium, Russell G. Pearce

Faculty Scholarship

The 1992 Report of the Task Force on Law Schools and the Profession: Narrowing the Gap (the "Task Force"), Legal Education Professional Development - An Educational Continuum, popularly known as the MacCrate Report (the "Report"), was the most ambitious effort to reform legal education in the past generation.

Lawyers, Non-Lawyers And Mediation: Rethinking The Professional Monopoly From A Problem-Solving Perspective , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley Jan 2002

Lawyers, Non-Lawyers And Mediation: Rethinking The Professional Monopoly From A Problem-Solving Perspective , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley

Faculty Scholarship

Mediation is a big business today that is practiced by lawyers and non-lawyers, and is closely related to the business of law. Lawyers have a long-standing monopoly on the law business and do not look favorably on sharing their power with nonlawyers. This phenomenon is odd because it occurs at the same time that the legal profession is beginning to embrace a new ethic of problem-solving that honors the values of collaboration and power-sharing among professionals in multiple disciplines. Lawyers protect their professional monopoly through the unauthorized practice of law ("UPL") doctrine that limits the practice of law to licensed …


Recognizing The Interdependence Of Rights In The Antidiscrimination Context Through The World Conference Against Racism , Catherine Powell, Jennifer H. Lee Jan 2002

Recognizing The Interdependence Of Rights In The Antidiscrimination Context Through The World Conference Against Racism , Catherine Powell, Jennifer H. Lee

Faculty Scholarship

This background paper assesses the importance of integrating gender into efforts to address racial discrimination and related intolerance in the WCAR process. While this background paper primarily focuses on racial discrimination, the analysis may be applied to xenophobia and related intolerance where these experiences are "raced" experiences. Addressing these forms of intolerance in a comprehensive manner requires unmasking the ways in which race intersects with gender and other status. A gender analysis is needed to make racism more fully visible, because "racial discrimination does not always affect men and women equally or in the same way." Women often experience compounded …
