Sentencing Commissions And Their Guidelines, Michael Tonry
Sentencing Commissions And Their Guidelines, Michael Tonry
Articles
Sentencing commissions, administrative agencies charged to develop and promulgate standards for sentencing, were first proposed early in the 1970s and first established in 1978. Of four recent major sentencing reform approaches-the others being parole guidelines, voluntary sentencing guidelines, and statutory determinate sentences-only sentencing commission systems continue to be created. Despite controversies associated with the highly unpopular federal guidelines, commissions and their guidelines have achieved their primary goals. Some commissions have achieved specialized technical competence, have adopted comprehensive policy approaches, and have to a degree insulated policy from short-term political pressures. Guidelines have reduced disparities and gender and sex differences in …

Governance In Chapter 11 Reorganizations: Reducing Costs, Improving Results, Edward S. Adams
Governance In Chapter 11 Reorganizations: Reducing Costs, Improving Results, Edward S. Adams
Articles
Throughout the past two years, Trans World Airlines, Midway Airlines, and R.H. Macy Company, as well as over 46,000 other corporations, have filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Of the firms that have filed Chapter 11 reorganization petitions, over eighty percent will never reorganize successfully and will not avoid a subsequent conversion to a Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding. The effects of these “misfilings” are enormous. Most fundamentally, an attempted reorganization, when liquidation is the more efficient solution, can unnecessarily increase the overall costs of bankruptcy significantly.

Major Developments At The Un Commission On Human Rights In 1992, Joe W. (Chip) Pitts Iii, David Weissbrodt
Articles
The forty-eighth session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, the principal human rights organ of the United Nations, occurred at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland from 27 January to 7 March 1992.' The session took place at a time of unprecedented invigoration of the United Nations in general, and demonstrated both the challenges and the opportunities facing the organization and its primary human rights arm in the world community today.
Globalization Of Constitutional Law And Civil Rights, David Weissbrodt
Globalization Of Constitutional Law And Civil Rights, David Weissbrodt
Articles
The teaching of U.S. constitutional law is remarkably insular. A quick review of course books reveals few, if any, references to materials from other countries or to relevant international law.1 Constitutional law courses focus almost exclusively on the U.S. constitutional order. The course books appear to consider as unique this country's balance of power between the national government and the states and its approach to bridging the structural tension among executive, legislative, andjudicial branches. One colleague facetiously told me that the only country comparable to the United States is the United Kingdom. Since the U.K. has no written constitution, the …
The Law Of Legitimacy: An Instrument Of Procreative Power, Mary Louise Fellows
The Law Of Legitimacy: An Instrument Of Procreative Power, Mary Louise Fellows
Articles
The purpose of this Article is to explore how inheritance law, through its reliance on the laws regarding legitimacy, affects the construction of sexuality and procreative power in our society. The crucial importance of female monogamy in a private property regime is well-recognized. It is the only means by which a man can assure himself that his wealth will be inherited by his offspring. The enforcement of female monogamy by men enhances a man’s procreative power because it provides the basis for his claim of paternity.

Traveling The Road Of Probate Reform: Finding The Way To Your Will (A Response To Professor Ascher), Mary Louise Fellows
Articles
In the United States during this century, probate law and practice have undergone significant changes. Some of the changes are attributable to exogenous factors, such as the development of state and federal income and transfer tax systems, the development of a variety of types of insurance and other contractual arrangements, and the transformation of the American family profile. Other changes are attributable to endogenous factors, such as the growing frustration with traditional will formalities.
Criminalizing The American Juvenile Court, Barry C. Feld
Criminalizing The American Juvenile Court, Barry C. Feld
Articles
Progressive reformers envisioned a therapeutic juvenile court that made individualized treatment decisions in the child's "best interests." The Supreme Court's Gault decision provided the impetus for transforming the juvenile court from an informal welfare agency into a scaled-down criminal court. Since Gault, the juvenile court procedures increasingly resemble those of adult courts, although in some respects, such as assistance of counsel, juveniles receive less adequate protections. Judicial and legislative changes have altered the juvenile court's jurisdiction over noncriminal status offenders and serious young offenders-as the former are diverted from the system, the latter are transferred to adult criminal courts. Juvenile …

The Parameters 4-(12,6,6) And Related T-Designs, Donald Kreher, Dominique Caen, Sylvia Hobart
The Parameters 4-(12,6,6) And Related T-Designs, Donald Kreher, Dominique Caen, Sylvia Hobart
Articles
It is shown that a 4-(12,6,6) design, if it exists, must be rigid. The intimate relationship of such a design with 4-(12,5,4) designs and 5-(12,6,3) designs is presented and exploited. In this endeavor we found: (i) 30 nonisomorphic 4-(12,5,4) designs; (ii) all cyclic 3-(11,5,6) designs; (iii) all 5-(12,6,3) designs preserved by an element of order three fixing no points and no blocks; and (iv) all 5-(12,6,3) designs preserved by an element of order two fixing 2 points.
The Christian Novelist In An Age Of Transition: A Case Study, Eamon Maher
The Christian Novelist In An Age Of Transition: A Case Study, Eamon Maher
Articles
At the present time in France, organized religion has largely lost its popular appeal. A centuries-old tradition of secularism has replaced God in the hearts of many. It is not therefore surprising that the 'Catholic novel' in its best-known form that of the thirties, when Bernanos and Mauriac wrote their greatest novels is no longer being written by contemporary novelists. That sort of novel simply does not reflect the current spiritual crisis in French society. But there are some writers, and Jean Sulivan (1913-1980 is a600g them, who do portray the human need of and quest for a divine presence …
All-Optical Timing Extraction With Frequency Division Using A Twin-Section Laser Diode, Gerald Farrell, Paul Phelan, Joe Hegarty, J. Shields
All-Optical Timing Extraction With Frequency Division Using A Twin-Section Laser Diode, Gerald Farrell, Paul Phelan, Joe Hegarty, J. Shields
Articles
All-optical timing extraction from a coded line signal with division of the extracted clock frequency is demonstrated using a single twin-section self-pulsating laser diode. Either the bit-rate clock or a submultiple of the bit-rate clock can be extracted, depending only on the DC biases applied to the self-pulsating laser diode. Timing extraction is carried out for the first time without optical injection locking of the self-pulsating laser diode by the optical data source
On Quasi-Permutation Representations Of Finite Groups, J. M. Burns, Brendan Goldsmith, B. Hartley, R. Sandling
On Quasi-Permutation Representations Of Finite Groups, J. M. Burns, Brendan Goldsmith, B. Hartley, R. Sandling
Articles
In [6], Wong defined a quasi-permutation group of degree n to be a finite group G of automorphisms of an n-dimensional complex vector space such that every element of G has non-negative integral trace. The terminology derives from the fact that if G is a finite group of permutations of a set ω of size n, and we think of G as acting on the complex vector space with basis ω, then the trace of an element g ∈ G is equal to the number of points of ω fixed by g. In [6] and [7], Wong studied the extent …

Courts have been expressing exasperation with increasing frequency particularly in cases brought by prisoners minorities and other unpopular groups This article posits that the judiciary like society at large deploys the trope of imposition at key moments in the history of a reform movement to invalidate it and place it on the defensive At first society may tolerate or even support the reformers At some point however reaction sets in and we declare that we have done enough for them Now they are unreasonable the aggressors asking for things they do not deserve They are imposing on us and our …
