Best Evidence : A Social History Of The County Court Of Lafayette County, 1865-1870, Debbielee Landi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The study of American legal institutions and practices provides valuable information regarding American society. This analysis focuses on the County Court of Lafayette County, Mississippi from its creation in 1865 until its dissolution in 1870. In order to assess the role of this court during Reconstruction, the types of cases and participants for the five-year period were analyzed.

The County Court system was established by the Mississippi state legislature in 1865 to manage the anticipated surge of criminal activity caused by the Civil War and the emancipation of slaves. This research discovered that although there was a considerable amount of …

A Case Tool For Conceptual Database Design, Keng Siau, Kok Phuang Tan, Hock Chuan Chan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The paper describes a Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool to support conceptual database modelling. One popular approach for conceptual database modelling is use of the Entity-Relationship (ER) model. The paper proposes the use of an Enhanced Entity-Relationship (EER) model for conceptual database modelling. This Enhanced Entity-Relationship model extends the Entity-Relationship model by incorporating the generalization/specialization, aggregation and categorization abstractions. The CASE tool, which is based on the Enhanced Entity-Relationship model, is known as the Enhanced Entity-Relationship Diagrammer (EERD). In addition, the CASE tool supports direct visual query and update based on the EERM.

This Article surveys noteworthy cases that the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court, the United States district courts in Georgia, and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals decided during the survey period. This Article also reviews important acts of the Georgia General Assembly concerning corporation, partnership, securities, and banking law.

Evidence, Marc T. Treadwell

Mercer Law Review

In five previous Georgia and Eleventh Circuit evidence survey articles, the author extolled the virtues of the proposed Georgia Rules of Evidence.' These rules roughly tracked the Federal Rules of Evidence and would replace Georgia's existing evidence code which is, in reality, not a code at all but rather a jumble of disjointed statutes found in several different titles of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated and countless court decisions. The proposed rules were first introduced in the General Assembly in 1989 and were approved by the Senate in 1990 and 1991 but have never been reported out of the …

Legal Ethics, Roy M. Sobelson

Mercer Law Review

One of the traditional hallmarks of the American legal profession has been its virtual freedom from regulation. If there is any theme evident in recent developments in the legal ethics field, it is that this freedom is under increasing attack from clients, courts, the bar, and the legislature. The year 1992 was no exception, with a number of challenges made to the authority of individual lawyers and the profession itself. The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected one lawyer's challenge to mandatory court appointments and another's freedom to contract with a client for unlimited authority to settle cases.

The supreme court …

Trial Practice And Procedure, David A. Forehand Jr., Ken M. Nimmons

Mercer Law Review

The majority of a trial lawyer's work is completed before the jury is placed in the box. The extent of trial preparation is the only means by which one* can arguably predict success. The authors of this Article hope that the reader will view the law of trial practice and procedure as modern day weaponry in the war to preserve justice. To paraphrase Mark Twain, it is a worthy thing to fight one's own fight; it is another sight finer to fight for another man's.

Workers' Compensation, H. Michael Bagley, Daniel C. Kniffen, John C. Blackmon Jr.

Mercer Law Review

The year 1992 brought the most comprehensive workers' compensation reform legislation in two decades. Dramatic changes impact the amount and duration of temporary total disability benefits, the definition of change of condition, vocational rehabilitation services in noncatastrophic cases, and the return of subrogation by employers against third party tortfeasors, as well as many other changes in the workers' compensation system, as detailed below.

Identification Of The Initial Transient In Discrete-Event Simulation Output Using The Kalman Filter, Mark A. Gallagher

Theses and Dissertations

Data truncation is a commonly accepted method of dealing with initialization bias in discrete-event simulation. Algorithms for determining the appropriate initial-data truncation point for univariate and multivariate output are proposed. The techniques entail averaging across replications and estimating a steady-state output model in a state-space framework. Using the estimated model, Multiple Model Adaptive Estimation (MMAE), which uses Kalman filters with different parameter vectors, is applied. Based on the filters' residuals, the conditional probabilities of each filter's specific parameter vector being correct are determined. The MMAE parameter estimates are the probabilistic- weighted average of the filters' assumed parameter vectors. The estimated …

Sociolinguistic Dimensions Of Nurse Practitioner Practice: A Question Of Power, Merrily J. Allen Dnsc, Mn, Rn

Dissertations

Ethnographic methods were used to examine the sociolinguistic dimensions of female nurse practitioner interactions with female patients. The purpose was to provide a contextual account of the discursive practices used by the nurse practitioners during routine office visits with female patients. Direction for this research was provided by my concern about power inherent in professional-client dyadic relationships. Data collection methods included formal and informal interviews, participant observation and audio taping nurse-patient encounters. Nine nurse practitioners and 26 patients participated in the study in both private and public ambulatory care settings. Data analysis yielded two concurrent story lines which I labeled …

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to examine the factors that influenced college basketball players to choose to attend a certain institution of higher education. The secondary purpose was to learn if the perceptions of head college basketball coaches as to reasons for student athletes to choose a college were the same as the student athletes' stated reasons. The study sought to determine what factors influence athletes' decisions and whether those factors differed for female and male athletes, female and male coaches, athletes from different divisions, and coaches from different divisions. The study was intended to contribute to knowledge in …

Sectionalism And The Representation Debate, 1787-1792, John E. Grenier

Theses and Dissertations

From 1787 until 1792 the issue of the apportionment of representatives in the House of Representatives was the focus of spirited debate in American politics. The central issue at stake was the size and influence of each of the sections in future Congresses. The representation issue was first debated during the Constitutional Convention in 1787. After a temporary settlement of the representation guestion in the Convention, the First Congress re-opened the apportionment debate. The result was a constitutional amendment that would have significantly increased the size of the House of Representatives. After that amendment failed to pass the states, the …

Homelessness And The Low Income Housing Crisis, Cushing N. Dolbeare

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The cost of housing is beyond the means of a growing number of housholds. This "affordability gap" is the underlying cause of homelessness. Housing assistance to low income families is therefore a logical solution to the problem, in combination with other responses.
