Unesco Human Rights Procedure: An Evaluation, David Weissbrodt, Rose Farley Jan 1994

Unesco Human Rights Procedure: An Evaluation, David Weissbrodt, Rose Farley

Articles

Analysis of United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) human rights review procedures and cases within the UNESCO process indicates that many violations are not being addressed effectively. Improvements to the procedures should include implementing fast track and expedited procedures for certain cases, looking for complete solutions to violations, making the Committee on Conventions and Recommendations smaller and less politicized, allowing major abuses to be referred to the Director-General and defining the phases of the review process more clearly.


The Role Of Legal Education In Instilling An Ethos Of Public Service Among Law Students: Towards A Collaboration Between The Profession And The Academy On Professional Values, Stephen F. Befort, Eric Janus Jan 1994

The Role Of Legal Education In Instilling An Ethos Of Public Service Among Law Students: Towards A Collaboration Between The Profession And The Academy On Professional Values, Stephen F. Befort, Eric Janus

Articles

n the United States, a significant part of the debate over passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) focused on the agreement's potential effects on the American worker. United States labor organizations and their congressional supporters opposed NAFTA based on their belief that Mexico's low wages and minimal worker protection would entice U.S. companies to move to Mexico, resulting in a loss of American jobs. An underlying assumption of their argument was that Mexican labor laws were either inadequate to protect workers' interests or inadequately enforced.

Hardening Of The Attitudes: Americans' Views On The Death Penalty, Phoebe C. Ellsworth, Samuel R. Gross Jan 1994

Hardening Of The Attitudes: Americans' Views On The Death Penalty, Phoebe C. Ellsworth, Samuel R. Gross

Articles

American support for the death penalty has steadily increased since 1966, when opponents outnumbered supporters, and now in the mid-1990s is at a near record high. Research over the last 20 years has tended to confirm the hypothesis that most people’s death penalty attitudes (pro or con) are based on emotion rather than information or rational argument. People feel strongly about the death penalty, know little about it, and feel no need to know more. Factual information (e.g., about deterrence and discrimination) is generally irrelevant to people’s attitudes, and they are aware that this is so. Support for the death …


Property Rights: A View From The Trenches, Michael A. Heller Jan 1994

Property Rights: A View From The Trenches, Michael A. Heller

Articles

How do governments create - or in some countries recreate - basic property rights that citizens demand in the transition to a market economy? My first comment, quite briefly, is on the debate within this Symposium on the relationship between constitutional reforms and the emergence of new property regimes. Second, I will comment on the counterintuitive property rights regime that is emerging from the "big bang" - the post-1989 collapse of the old socialist legal order in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and its replacement with a new, market-oriented system of property rights.


Character Impeachment Evidence: The Asymmetrical Interaction Between Personality And Situation, Richard D. Friedman Jan 1994

Character Impeachment Evidence: The Asymmetrical Interaction Between Personality And Situation, Richard D. Friedman

Articles

In Part I of this Comment, I present a short version of my argument against the admissibility of character impeachment evidence of criminal defendants, showing how the key elements ofthis argument are present in Professor Uviller's own Article. In Part II, I suggest that, notwithstanding Professor Uviller's comments to the contrary, an asymmetrical result-never admitting character evidence to impeach criminal defendants but admitting such evidence in some circumstances to impeach other witnesses- is perfectly reasonable. Finally, in Part III, I contend that Professor Uviller's interesting judicial surveys support the solution I have proposed for the problem of character impeachment evidence.


Stress And Health In 1st-Year Law Students: Women Fare Worse, Daniel N. Mcintosh, Julie Keywell, Alan Reifman, Phoebe C. Ellsworth Jan 1994

Stress And Health In 1st-Year Law Students: Women Fare Worse, Daniel N. Mcintosh, Julie Keywell, Alan Reifman, Phoebe C. Ellsworth

Articles

The social and psychological consequences of being a female law student may include greater stress and worse health than that experienced by male students. First-year law students at a major state university were surveyed about their physical and psychological health prior to, in the middle of, and at the end of the school year. They were also asked about specific sources of strain (e.g., grades, time pressure) at mid-year. Relative to men, women reported greater strain due to sexism, lack of free time, and lack of time to spend with one’s spouse/partner. Women also displayed more depression and physical symptoms …


Cyclic Voltammetry Of Polypyrroledodecylbenzenesulfonate Layers, T. Mccormac, W. Breen, A. Mcgee, John Cassidy, M. E.G. Lyons Jan 1994

Cyclic Voltammetry Of Polypyrroledodecylbenzenesulfonate Layers, T. Mccormac, W. Breen, A. Mcgee, John Cassidy, M. E.G. Lyons

Articles

Polypyrrole was deposited from solutions of NaCIO. and NaDBS, where DBS is dodecylbenzenesulfonate in aqueous solu\ion and characterizcd by voltammetry. It is found that the absence of the so-called 'double laver charging current' during cyclic voltammetry of the layers formed from solutions with surfactant is not because of' the" order in morphology of the layer, but irreversible incorporation of' the surfactant anion.

Response To Bert Van Roermund, Richard H. Weisberg Jan 1994

Response To Bert Van Roermund, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article responds to Bert van Roermund's arguments about the relationship between law and literature, emphasizing that literature serves as a unique jurisprudential source when it mimetically imitates legal expression. The author argues that literature's value lies in its ability to capture the narrative structures of legal communication, particularly in genres like the novel or novella, which self-consciously replicate legal narrativity. This mimetic quality distinguishes literature from other forms of art and makes it uniquely relevant to legal theory.


Saving Public Television: The Remand Of Turner Broadcasting And The Future Of Cable Regulation, Monroe E. Price, Donald W. Hawthorne Jan 1994

Saving Public Television: The Remand Of Turner Broadcasting And The Future Of Cable Regulation, Monroe E. Price, Donald W. Hawthorne

Articles

The article critiques the Supreme Court's decision in *Turner Broadcasting* for failing to adequately address key First Amendment issues, particularly the distinction between commercial and noncommercial broadcasters. While the Court focused on historical context and government-media relationships, it overlooked the unique role of noncommercial broadcasters in serving public interests like education and culture. The authors argue for a more nuanced First Amendment approach that supports public interest media without infringing on free speech rights, urging courts to recognize the value of noncommercial broadcasting.


Paths, Cycles And Wheels In Graphs Without Antitriangles, Stanislaw Radziszowski, Xia Jin Jan 1994

Paths, Cycles And Wheels In Graphs Without Antitriangles, Stanislaw Radziszowski, Xia Jin

Articles

We investigate paths, cycles and wheels in graphs with independence number of at most 2, in particular we prove theorems characterizing all such graphs which are hamiltonian. Ramsey numbers of the form R (G,K3), for G being a path, a cycle or a wheel, are known to be 2n (G) - 1, except for some small cases. In this paper we derive and count all critical graphs 1 for these Ramsey numbers.


A Reaffirmation: The Authenticity Of The Roberts Memorandum, Or Felix The Non-Forger (Justices Felix Frankfurter And Owen J. Roberts), Richard D. Friedman Jan 1994

A Reaffirmation: The Authenticity Of The Roberts Memorandum, Or Felix The Non-Forger (Justices Felix Frankfurter And Owen J. Roberts), Richard D. Friedman

Articles

In the December 1955 issue of this Law Review, Justice Felix Frankfurter published a tribute to his late friend and colleague, Owen J. Roberts.' The tribute centered on what Frankfurter claimed was the text of a memorandum that Roberts wrote in 1945 to explain his conduct in the critical minimum wage cases of 1936 and 1937, Morehead v. New York ex rel. Tipaldo2 and West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish.' Scholars have often challenged the adequacy of Roberts's account of why he cast decisive votes for the conservatives in Tipaldo and for the liberals in West Coast Hotel.4 Until recently, …


Gay Men, Aids, And The Code Of The Condom, David L. Chambers Jan 1994

Gay Men, Aids, And The Code Of The Condom, David L. Chambers

Articles

The principal purpose of this Article is to explore the origins and moral content of the code of behavior among gay men that has developed around the condom. A second purpose is to consider whether this code is wise and defensible under current circumstances. A final purpose is to compare the condom rules to the code of sexual behavior that state governments have created in response to AIDS under their criminal laws.


The Death And Transfiguration Of Frye, Richard D. Friedman Jan 1994

The Death And Transfiguration Of Frye, Richard D. Friedman

Articles

The rule of Frye v. United States was seventy years old, and had long dominated American law on the question of how well established a scientific principle must be for it to provide the basis for expert testimony. Even after the passage of the Federal Rules of Evidence, several of the federal circuits, as well as various states, purported to adhere to Frye's "general acceptance" standard. But now, unanimously, briefly, and with no apparent angst, the United States Supreme Court has held in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. that the Frye rule is incompatible with the Federal Rules.


Discovery Cost Allocation: Comment On Cooter And Rubinfeld, Edward H. Cooper Jan 1994

Discovery Cost Allocation: Comment On Cooter And Rubinfeld, Edward H. Cooper

Articles

Discovery practice continues to be the single most troubling element of contemporary procedure. To be sure, the system seems to work well in a high proportion of all federal cases. The proportion may seem astonishingly high in relation to the amount of attention devoted to discovery. The discovery problems that occur in a relatively small proportion of the federal caseload, however, impose serious burdens on the parties and the court system. Every proposal that addresses discovery "abuse" deserves serious attention. These comments focus on the discovery abuse portion of the paper by Cooter and Rubinfeld. Questions are posed that may …


The 'Right To Die': A Catchy But Confusing Slogan, Yale Kamisar Jan 1994

The 'Right To Die': A Catchy But Confusing Slogan, Yale Kamisar

Articles

Some 30 years ago an eminent constitutional law scholar Charles L. Black, Jr., spoke of "toiling uphill against that heaviest of all argumental weights-the weight of a slogan. I am reminded of that observation when I confront the slogan the "right to die." Few rallying cries or slogans are more appealing and seductive than the "right to die." But few are more fuzzy, more misleading, and more misunderstood.


Responding To Gender Bias In The Courts: Progress Without Accountability, Suellyn Scarnecchia Jan 1994

Responding To Gender Bias In The Courts: Progress Without Accountability, Suellyn Scarnecchia

Articles

On December 19, 1989, we received the final report of the Michigan Supreme Court Task Force on Gender Issues (task force report). The task force made 91 recommendations, plus an additional 18 joint recommendations with the Task Force on Racial/Ethnic Issues in the Courts. The Michigan Supreme Court, the State Bar of Michigan and other individuals and organizations have made much progress in responding to the recommendations, with one glaring omission-Although jointly recommended by both task forces as "essential to the realization of the goals envisioned in the goals envisioned in the reports," the Supreme Court has failed to appoint …


On Endomorphisms And Automorphisms Of Some Pure Subgroups Of The Baer-Specker Group, A. L.S. Corner, Brendan Goldsmith Jan 1994

On Endomorphisms And Automorphisms Of Some Pure Subgroups Of The Baer-Specker Group, A. L.S. Corner, Brendan Goldsmith

Articles

The endomoprhism algebras of certain pure subgroups of the Baer-Specker group are investigated to answer a question of Irwin. Automorphism groups of these Abelian groups are investigated and a realization theme is established.


Simulation Study Of Changes In Ultrasound Speckle Statistics With The System Point Spread Function, Navalgund A. H. K. Rao, Hui Zhu Jan 1994

Simulation Study Of Changes In Ultrasound Speckle Statistics With The System Point Spread Function, Navalgund A. H. K. Rao, Hui Zhu

Articles

The intensity point signal-to-noise ratio, SNRI, characterizing the ultrasound speckle statistics, depends on the tissue scattering microstructure and the imaging systems point spread function. Both should be described in three-dimensional space. Therefore, a three-dimensional simulation model is used in this paper to generate a rf signal and study the variations in SNRI with the transducer center frequency and bandwidth. Results are in agreement with existing theoretical predictions. A possible method to analyze the SNRI data is also presented that can produce a straight line slope as a feature value that depends on the tissue scattering microstructure only. Such a feature …

Protection Of Biodiversity Under The Public Trust Doctrine, Ralph W. Johnson, William C. Galloway Jan 1994

Protection Of Biodiversity Under The Public Trust Doctrine, Ralph W. Johnson, William C. Galloway

Articles

The public trust doctrine is an ancient Roman legal doctrine that has been applied in both England and the United States. The doctrine traditionally addressed questions of public access to and use of commercially navigable waters for navigation, fisheries and various other uses of the underlying seabeds, lake bottoms, and riverbeds. In recent years, the public trust doctrine has been invoked to protect birds and other wildlife, water quality, ecological and environmental values, and different types of recreation. Although no public trust case has applied the doctrine to protect biodiversity per se, it seems clear by analogy to existing case …


If Anybody Asks You Who I Am: An Outsider's Story Of The Duty To Establish Paternity, Lisa Kelly Jan 1994

If Anybody Asks You Who I Am: An Outsider's Story Of The Duty To Establish Paternity, Lisa Kelly

Articles

This story is fictional but true. There is no one particular Minerva Copeland, James Walker, or Judge Jennings. Lake Village and Helena also are intended to be fictional places. I chose a format using endnotes instead of footnotes in an effort not to disrupt the flow of the narrative. The endnotes, however, are an integral part of this article and serve to provide the reader with the background necessary to understand the legal and social context in which this piece operates.
