Law And Enchantment: The Place Of Belief, Joseph Vining Dec 1987

Law And Enchantment: The Place Of Belief, Joseph Vining

Articles

The question I wish to raise is whether one must believe what one says when one makes a statement of law. The language of belief that we know, and from which moral discourse and the moral never stray far: do judges, lawyers, law participate in it? Any such question is but an aspect of a larger question, indeed issue, of what we may call the objectivity of legal language. It is raised perhaps most acutely by the broad claims now being made for artificial intelligence and in particular for the computer programming of legal advice (as a species of what …


Proprietary Rights And The Norms Of Science In Biotechnology Research, Rebecca S. Eisenberg Dec 1987

Proprietary Rights And The Norms Of Science In Biotechnology Research, Rebecca S. Eisenberg

Articles

As basic research in biotechnology yields increasing commercial applications, scientists and their research sponsors have become more eager to protect the commercial value of research discoveries through intellectual property law. Some scientists fear that these commercial incentives will weaken or even undermine the norms that have traditionally governed scientific research. In this Article, Professor Eisenberg examines the interaction of proprietary rights in inventions with these traditional scientific norms. Trade secrecy, she argues, is an undesirable strategy for protection of basic research discoveries because it impedes dissemination of new knowledge to the scientific community. She finds that patent law is in …

The Humane And Just Alternative For Canada, James C. Hathaway Sep 1987

The Humane And Just Alternative For Canada, James C. Hathaway

Articles

The essence of C-55 ignores the admonition of the Standing Committee that we must be "knowledgeable and sensitive to human rights issues rather than immigration issues. The determination decision is not an immigration matter but instead a decision as to who are Convention refugees in need of Canada's protection." In stark contrast, immigration authorities have spoken of the importance of refugee law reform as a means of "enabling us to continue our strategy of controlled growth in immigration to Canada." By speaking of refugees in the same breath as immigration policy, the department has effectively confused the privilege of immigration …

The Impact Of Changing Technology On The Employment Of A Group Of Older Deaf Workers, Greg Emerton, Susan Foster, Harriette Royer Jan 1987

The Impact Of Changing Technology On The Employment Of A Group Of Older Deaf Workers, Greg Emerton, Susan Foster, Harriette Royer

Articles

Sociologists are fond of looking at social and cultural change in the abstract, as an alternation in the patterns of social structure and social relationships within a society over time. Seldom do they look at the impact of macro level trends upon individuals and rarely do they concern themselves with a low-incidence population such as the deaf community. This study seeks to help alter that pattern by examining the effects of changing technology upon a small group of older, deaf people who have been in the work force for 20 years or more.


Implementation Of Recommended Ocular Exposure Thresholds For The Evaluation Of Xenon Flashes, Mark Fairchild, Roy Berns Jan 1987

Implementation Of Recommended Ocular Exposure Thresholds For The Evaluation Of Xenon Flashes, Mark Fairchild, Roy Berns

Articles

A system was established for the evaluation of sources of optical radiation with respect to recommended ocular exposure limits. This system consists of a diode array radiometer calibrated for absolute radiometric measurements and software for the application of the currently accepted threshold limits for exposure to various wavelengths of radiation. Absolute calibration of the array radiometer was accomplished to within 3% of values obtained with a conventional instrument. Day-to-day repeatability of the instrument indicates the possibility of absolute calibration of the detector array responsivity for everyday use in the measurements of continuous sources to an accuracy of plus-or-minus 2.8%. It …

Employment Experiences Of Deaf College Graduates: An Interview Study, Susan Foster

To this end, NTID sponsors several research projects which focus on graduate follow up, including an annual alumni survey and periodic collection of data from federal data banks.

The Constitution In The Supreme Court: Civil Rights And Liberties, 1930-1941, David P. Currie Jan 1987

The Constitution In The Supreme Court: Civil Rights And Liberties, 1930-1941, David P. Currie

Articles

This is the latest in Professor Currie's continuing series on the historical development of constitutional doctrine. In this article Professor Currie surveys the major decisions of the Supreme Court between 1930 and 1941 in the area of criminal procedure, civil rights and civil liberties. In the area of criminal procedure, Professor Currie concludes that in deciding what procedures were required or forbidden by due process, historical inquiry was displaced by a fundamental-rights test. In the area of civil liberties, Professor Currie concludes that the Court made modest progress. Finally, Professor Currie concludes that the Court's most important civil liberties work …

Allocating Antitrust Decisionmaking Tasks, Frank H. Easterbrook Jan 1987

Allocating Antitrust Decisionmaking Tasks, Frank H. Easterbrook

Articles

Antitrust law has become a branch of industrial organization, itself a branch of economics. Today judges and the antitrust enforcement agencies search at every turn for economic arguments pro and con. This is a staple in academic thought as well-and it makes little difference what stripe. Those who could be called hawks employ economic argument, just as do those who see less scope for antitrust do. Most of the papers delivered at this symposium, like the merger guidelines issued by the National Association Attorneys General (NAAG),' are grounded in economic rather than political theories. More economics lies ahead. But what …
