The Quest For Silence: Faulkner's Lawyer In A Comparative Setting, Richard H. Weisberg Apr 1984

The Quest For Silence: Faulkner's Lawyer In A Comparative Setting, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article explores William Faulkner's portrayal of Gavin Stevens, a fictional lawyer, highlighting his evolution as a character and his unique place within the tradition of literary lawyer figures. The analysis focuses on Gavin's development in The Town, where he learns the value of silence and observation, distinguishing him from other lawyers in literature who often remain static in their personal growth. The article situates Gavin within a broader literary context, comparing him to characters from works by authors like Dickens and Twain, and argues for his significance as a complex and sympathetic character.

The Nonprobate Revolution And The Future Of The Law Of Succession, John H. Langbein Mar 1984

The Nonprobate Revolution And The Future Of The Law Of Succession, John H. Langbein

Articles

The popular demand for probate avoidance has coincided with a fundamental change in the nature of wealth. Mogt property now takes the form of claims on financial intermediaries, who can easily transfer account balances on death, without court proceedings. Further, creditors have developed a variety of techniques for collecting decedents' debts without probate. Professor Langbein sees in these developments the basis for legitimating the main will substitutes as "nonprobate wills" and for unifying the constructional law of wills and will substitutes.

The Mythical Meritocracy Of Law School Admissions, James C. Hathaway

Articles

Because more people apply to law schools than can be accepted, the admissions procedure at most faculties has been designed to select the best qualified persons from the applicant pool. Selection criteria are adopted to enable law school administrators to determine fairly and objectively which applicants are most likely to succeed in legal studies.

A Discussion Of Various Approaches To The Linear-System Identification Problem, Tapan Sarkar, Sohail Dianat, Donald Weiner

Articles

This paper deals with the pole zero identification of a linear system from a measured input-output record. One objective is to show that the pencil-of-function method minimizes a weighted version of the Kalman equation error. It follows that the pencil-of-function method is capable of yielding robust estimates for poles located in a given region of the complex s plane. The second objective of this paper is to illustrate that identical sets of equations arise in three supposedly different analytical techniques for obtaining the impulse response of a system. The techniques investigated are 1) the least squares technique based on the …
