Precision Teaching Of The Deaf, Morton Isaacs Jan 1973

Precision Teaching Of The Deaf, Morton Isaacs

Articles

Forty-eight deaf NTID students were randomly assigned to an introductory psychology course, 31 to a group which was conducted under a precision teaching method and 17 under the traditional lecture format. Although comparable initially in intelligence and hearing discrimination skills, the group which received the precision teaching scored 13.6 to 16.6 points higher in three written, multiple-choice examinations. They also indicated on a written questionnaire increased enjoyment of the course over the lecture group receiving identical material. It is hypothesized that noth increased learning and motivational factors bring about the examination score differentials.


The National Industrial Pollution Control Council: Advise Or Collude?, William H. Rodgers, Jr. Mar 1972

The National Industrial Pollution Control Council: Advise Or Collude?, William H. Rodgers, Jr.

Articles

This article analyzes three aspects of the National Industrial Pollution Countrol Coucil's performance: (1) the promise and risks it has presented; (2) its procedural performance, as tested by governing law; and (3) its accomplishments, both on the record and sub rosa, as measured by the expectations. In brief, NIPCC is portrayed as a dangerously anticompetitive institution occasionally doing business in violation of the law. The Council has published both public relations material and some useful data, but it has served more importantly as a lobbying forum for industries chafing under the regulatory bit. The experience of NIPCC forms the basis …

Courtroom Misconduct By Prosecutors And Trial Judges, Albert W. Alschuler Jan 1972

Courtroom Misconduct By Prosecutors And Trial Judges, Albert W. Alschuler

Articles

As courtroom disruption became a national issue in the late 1960's, public attention focused primarily on the conduct of the criminal defense attorney and his client. Professor Alschuler examines the courtroom misconduct of prosecutors and trial judges both as it relates to disruptive behavior by defendants and defense attorneys and as it poses a threat in its own right to the orderly administration of justice.

The Appointment And Disappointment Of Supreme Court Justices, Philip B. Kurland Jan 1972

The Appointment And Disappointment Of Supreme Court Justices, Philip B. Kurland

Articles

The recent controversy over President Nixon's appointments to the Supreme Court, and the institution of impeachment proceedings against Justice Douglas, have raised important questions concerning qualifications for, and behavior of, Supreme Court justices. In this Article, Professor Kurland discusses the important qualities that a Supreme Court justice should possess, the various competing pressures that often influence presidential selections, the Senate's proper role in the confirmation process, and, finally-with special emphasis upon the impeachment proceedings against Justice Douglas-the available means of removing incumbent justices.


The Problem Of Social Cost Revisited, Donald H. Regan Jan 1972

The Problem Of Social Cost Revisited, Donald H. Regan

Articles

SOME years ago, in a paper entitled "The Problem of Social Cost," Professor Ronald Coase asserted and argued for a proposition which has since acquired the convenient sobriquet "the Coase Theorem." The proposition is: That in a world of perfect competition, perfect information, and zero transaction costs, the allocation of resources in the economy will be efficient and will be unaffected by legal rules regarding the initial impact of costs resulting from externalities. Note that there are two claims being made, which it is well to separate for purposes of discussion. The first claim is that, under the conditions described, …

The Basic Course—A Mild Dissent, Whitmore Gray Jan 1971

The Basic Course—A Mild Dissent, Whitmore Gray

Articles

Perhaps it is unusual to start a discussion of a topic with a dissent from the assumption underlying its choice, but I think that in the present case this may be justified. The present topic was no doubt selected because for many years teachers have viewed the course in "comparative law" as a basic course, leading subsequently to specialized courses or research in various subject matters or geographical areas. In fact, the other two speakers on this afternoon's program, Professors Rudolf Schlesinger of Cornell and Arthur von Mehren of Harvard, are both on record in the form of their casebooks …


Legal Education In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe, Whitmore Gray Jan 1971

Legal Education In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe, Whitmore Gray

Articles

The following notes are based on interviews with law professors, law students and lawyers during a brief trip in 1970 to Moscow, Budapest and Prague. On previous visits in 1959 and 1965 the writer had visited law schools in Kiev, Baku, Tbilisi, Alma Ata, Leningrad, Prague and Warsaw, and had sat in on lectures, recitation sections, and examinations.1 In looking this time for changes, the writer was particularly interested in whether there was some reflection there of the general student malaise which the United States has been experiencing, manifested in American law schools in student pressure for "relevant" courses and …


Local Government In Sweden, Terrance Sandalow Jan 1971

Local Government In Sweden, Terrance Sandalow

Articles

Ever since the publication of Marquis Childs' The Middle Way, Americans of liberal persuasion have tended to point to Sweden as a model, a nation which simultaneously has achieved rapid economic growth, eliminated poverty, and maintained individual and political freedom. Swedish cities, and especially Stockholm, are reputed to be among the best planned in the world. Yet, for all the admiration that has been expressed, there has been surprisingly little investigation by Americans of the legal and governmental framework within which the Swedes have accomplished so much. The modest aim of this paper is to report the major outlines of …


Discrete Analysis Of A Composite Video Signal, Frank F. Carden, William P. Osborne, Alton L. Gilbert Nov 1970

Discrete Analysis Of A Composite Video Signal, Frank F. Carden, William P. Osborne, Alton L. Gilbert

Articles

In this paper the problem of representing the composite video signal for monochromatic T. V. transmission is examined and a method for computing the required spectral bandwidth is devised suitable for computer applications. The results obtained numerically are compared to measured results and to analytical solutions for a determinate signal for special cases. Comparison is made with some "maximum horizontal resolution" methods with a resulting decrease in bandwidth requirements for most applications.


A Model Bill On The Reporting Of Campaign Contributions And Expenditures, William H. Rodgers, Jr. Mar 1970

A Model Bill On The Reporting Of Campaign Contributions And Expenditures, William H. Rodgers, Jr.

Articles

Public demand for strict and effective accountability of public officials engaged in political election campaigns has increased dramatically in recent times. Development of concrete measures to implement the objective, however, has been less quick to materialize. In this article, Professor Rodgers proposes model state legislation to require reporting of campaign contributions and expenditures by most political candidates and committees. The controlling principle of the proposed legislation is total disclosure of all aspects of political campaign financing. The Model Bill contains an effective procedure for administration and enforcement of its provisions.

Representing The Low Income Consumer In Repossessions, Resales And Deficiency Judgment Cases, James J. White Jan 1970

Representing The Low Income Consumer In Repossessions, Resales And Deficiency Judgment Cases, James J. White

Articles

The goal of this article is to lend a helping hand to the debtor's lawyer in his job of defending deficiency judgment suits brought following the repossession and resale of a debtor's encumbered personal property. Although some of the following discussion is relevant to the defense of any creditor's suit, and some applies to representation of the debtor prior to repossession or resale, the focal point of the discussion is the low-income consumer who has lost his automobile, television or some other "hard good" and has become a defendant in a suit brought by his secured creditor for a deficiency …

Better Organization Of Legal Knowledge, Layman E. Allen, Tomoyuki Ohta Jan 1969

Better Organization Of Legal Knowledge, Layman E. Allen, Tomoyuki Ohta

Articles

The increasing need of legislatures to draft complicated statutes, e.g., the Internal Revenue Code, requires the development of new techniques for defining and communicating complicated policies both accurately and understandably. At present, these complicated statutes are expressed in long, convoluted sentences with frequent uses of exceptions and limitations. Current drafting technique, with its inadequacies, often hinders a comprehensive understanding of the policy being communicated and often fails to communicate the policy accurately. Moreover, with the voluminous increase of legal literature in recent times, legal researchers experience increasing difficulty in attempting to retrieve relevant judicial and administrative interpretations. The authors propose …


The Law Library In A New Law School, Marian G. Gallagher Jan 1969

The Law Library In A New Law School, Marian G. Gallagher

Articles

Law school faculty members have a reputation for paying attention to their libraries. They achieved that collective reputation long ago through insistence on autonomous library administration by their own kind, and they have nurtured it by exhibiting greater dependence on libraries than the members of any other discipline. Expressions of their concern and involvement are recorded repeatedly in annual reports, budget justifications, fund-raising brochures, and the proceedings of ceremonial cornerstone layings. Some have gone far beyond expressions of concern, demonstrating compulsion to devote more time to the functioning of their law libraries than has seemed necessary or interesting to the …
