Barring Foul Blows: An Argument For A Per Se Reversible-Error Rule For Prosecutors' Use Of Religious Arguments In The Sentencing Phase Of Capital Cases, Brian C. Duffy

Vanderbilt Law Review

Ninety-five percent of Americans profess belief in God, and seventy percent are members of a church or synagogue. Consequently, religious arguments, such as the prosecutor's invocation of Romans 13:1-7 from the Bible as excerpted above, will likely resonate with a jury consisting of "a fair cross-section" of a defendant's community and have a substantial impact on the decision-making process of its members. The impact of religious arguments is especially strong in the sentencing phase of capital cases when jurors must weigh a myriad of factors to determine whether a particular individual's life should end.

Notwithstanding the great risk, indeed likelihood, …

The Least Among Us: Unconstitutional Changes In Prisoner Litigation Under The Prison Litigation Reform Act Of 1995, Julie M. Riewe

Duke Law Journal

I don't like prisoners. Nobody pretends to like them, but every once in a while, one of these people is right. And a society is judged by how it treats the least among it, not the best. I'm not worried about how presidents of banks and chairmen of the board and of country clubs are treated, or star quarterbacks, or other prima donnas. The job of the Constitution is to make sure that everyone is treated properly. [Prisoners] fall[] into the everybody category.

A Politics Of Intellectual Property: Environmentalism For The Net?, James Boyle

Duke Law Journal

This Essay argues that we need a politics, or perhaps a political economy, of intellectual property. Using the controversy over copyright on the Internet as a case study and the history of the environmental movement as a comparison, it offers a couple of modest proposals about what such a politics might look like-what theoretical ideas it might draw upon, and what constituencies it might unite.

Health Care Marketing And The Internet, C. David Shepherd, Daniel Fell

History Of Indian Broadcasting Reform, Sevanti Ninan

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article explores the historical evolution of broadcasting reform in India, highlighting the tension between state control and the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech under Article 19. It traces the development from colonial-era laws like the Indian Telegraph Act of 1885 to modern legislative and judicial efforts to balance public interest, cultural preservation, and technological advancements. The analysis underscores the recurring themes of autonomy for state media, competition from private and foreign broadcasters, and the need for regulatory frameworks to address these challenges.

Doordarshan, Public Service Broadcasting And The Impact Of Globalization: A Short History, Nikhil Sinha

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the transformation of India's public service broadcasting system, particularly Doordarshan, in the context of globalization and economic liberalization. It argues that the shift from a state-dominated to a market-oriented economy has led to increased commercialization of broadcasting, threatening the traditional public service mission of Doordarshan. While structural reforms like the implementation of Prasar Bharati aim to grant greater autonomy, the pressures of commercial competition and political influence continue to challenge the balance between public interest and market demands.

Trends In Indian Media And Prospects For Broadcasting Reform, Rishab Aiyer Ghosh

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article argues that India's media market, despite immense latent demand driven by its large population and growing economy, is stifled by government-imposed monopolies and restrictive policies. While technological advancements and private sector growth have created opportunities for competition, the government's reluctance to liberalize media regulations and its focus on maintaining control over content and distribution hinder the market's potential. The article critiques the proposed Broadcasting Bill for prioritizing political and economic interests over free expression and market efficiency, urging a shift toward policies that foster competition, innovation, and decentralized media infrastructure.

A Human Rights Perspective In The Broadcasting Bill Debate, Mark N. Templeton

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article critiques the Broadcasting Bill, 1997, in India for neglecting the fundamental right of citizens to seek, receive, and impart information, as guaranteed by the Indian Constitution, the Indian Supreme Court, and international human rights treaties like the ICCPR. It argues that the Bill’s restrictions on ownership and content regulation may infringe upon freedom of expression and diversity of information. The analysis advocates for a human rights approach to broadcasting legislation, emphasizing the importance of balancing private and public interests while adhering to constitutional and international standards.

The Economics Of Auctioning And Related Regulatory Issues: The Economic Viability Of The Auction Provision Of The Bill And Alternatives For Direct-To-Home Licenses, Maria Vagliasindi, Pietro A. Vagliasindi

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article evaluates the use of auctioning as a regulatory tool for awarding licenses in natural monopoly industries, particularly focusing on broadcasting and telecommunications. It examines the economic viability of franchise bidding for Direct-to-Home (DTH) licenses in India and compares it to spectrum auctions in the U.S. The analysis highlights the potential efficiency of auctioning in promoting competition and reducing rents but also identifies significant challenges, including delays, design complexities, and theoretical limitations.

A British Perspective On Structuring The Indian Broadcasting Regulatory Authority, Tony Prosser

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the structure and operation of the UK's Independent Television Commission (ITC) as a model for the Indian Broadcasting Regulatory Authority. It argues that while the ITC has improved regulatory practices through greater transparency and accountability, its experience highlights key challenges, such as balancing public interest concerns with market forces, managing media concentration, and ensuring fair licensing procedures. The article concludes that the establishment of an independent regulatory authority is crucial but warns against replicating the UK's approach without considering its shortcomings.

The Broadcasting Of Sport And Major Events Under The Broadcasting Bill, 1997, Scott Bouvier

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the legal and social implications of broadcasting major sporting events, focusing on the debate over antisiphoning laws that prevent exclusive rights for pay television. It highlights the importance of ensuring free access to these events for the public, particularly in countries like India, where such events hold significant cultural and social value. The analysis critiques India's proposed antisiphoning provisions in the Broadcasting Bill and suggests that policymakers should consider approaches from countries like Australia and the UK, which have successfully balanced public access with economic interests.

Ethnic Tourism And The Renegotiation Of Tradition In Tana Toraja (Sulawesi, Indonesia), Kathleen M. Adams

Anthropology: Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article examines some of the political and symbolic issues inherent in the touristic renegotiation of Torajan ritual and history, chronicling the strategies whereby Torajans attempt to refashion outsider imagery to enhance their own personal standing and position in the Indonesian ethnic hierarchy. The author suggests that the Toraja case challenges the popular assumption that tourism promotion brings a complete loss of agency to indigenous peoples: Torajans not only engage in ingenious political strategies to enhance their group's image, but vigorously contest perceived threats to their identity and power. The author argues that such processes of self-conscious cultural reformulation do …

Water As A Matter For Human Emotions, Ho-Jeong Jeong

Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the plastic image of water as the metaphor for specific human emotions. Given its fluid nature, water itself does not have its own particular form of existence. However, influenced by the external environment, water creates various forms that suggest specific human emotion. These forms are created by forces of nature. I intend to create sculpture of the motion of water that evokes human emotion. The format for the idea is sculpture that consists of structural, repetitive and organized modules. I exploit the repetitive and sequential use of forms that provide an immediate …

Opportunities For Cooperative Extension And Local Communities In The Information Age, Daniel J. Tennessen, Steven Pontell, Van Romine, Suzanne W. Motheral

Journal of Extension

The Cooperative Extension System is well-suited to enable communities to participate on the Internet and compete in the global market. The Internet will enable people to work, learn, and play at any time and in any location. However, accessing this new technology by some communities can be inhibited by lack of economic and human resources. This paper describes Cooperative Extension's potential role in enabling communities to access the Internet by seeking alliances among local individuals, industry, and institutions to employ the Internet as an educational and work medium. Benefits for Cooperative Extension and for rural communities are detailed.
