Virtue, Liberty, And The Good : A Critical Analysis Of Civic Republicanism, Nathan Douglas Austin
Virtue, Liberty, And The Good : A Critical Analysis Of Civic Republicanism, Nathan Douglas Austin
Dissertations and Theses
Dissatisfaction with liberalism is nothing new. As the longstanding dominant force in Western political thought, it has been subject to unending hostile critiques from a variety of sources. Of the criticisms of liberalism advanced in recent years, some of the most persistent and scathing have been levied by scholars identified with civic republicanism. Civic republicanism has adopted the pose of a counter philosophy to liberalism. Civic republicans, such as Alasdair MacIntyre, Michael Sandel, and Cass Sunstein, argue that liberalism is an impoverished political conception that is unable to provide or sustain the moral energies necessary for a vital democratic life. …
Public Interest Group Politics And American Political Culture, Patrick Henry Brennan
Public Interest Group Politics And American Political Culture, Patrick Henry Brennan
Dissertations and Theses
Recent theories of interest group behavior have attempted to gain an understanding of how these groups mobilize for political action. However, these theories have led to account for a crucial aspect of public interest groups, a particularly important segment of the interest group universe. The purpose of this essay is to shed light on the ways that interest group theories must adapt if they are to better reflect this unique aspect of public interest group behavior. Specifically, it is necessary to acknowledge the role that a group"s ideas regarding shared American values play within the behavior of groups that seek …
The Summit Vegetation Of Saddle Mountain, Oregon Coast Range, Charles Thomas Carlson
The Summit Vegetation Of Saddle Mountain, Oregon Coast Range, Charles Thomas Carlson
Dissertations and Theses
Saddle Mountain (1000 m) is the highest peak in the Northern Oregon Coast Range. Meadows are found to occur at and near the summit of the mountain which contain abundant wildflowers. Although the majority of these meadow species have been collected and identified in the past no formal study has been done to classify them into communities. The purpose of this study is to examine the character and origin of the plant communities located at or near the summit of Saddle Mountain. Data were collected on 4 study sites during the Summer of 1996 and analysis of the data lead …
Copyright Preemption After The Procd Case: A Market-Based Approach, Maureen A. O'Rourke
Copyright Preemption After The Procd Case: A Market-Based Approach, Maureen A. O'Rourke
Faculty Scholarship
As information becomes increasingly available in digital form, a little noted yet significant legal change is occurring in the way in which information providers use the law to establish the terms under which they market their products. Electronic information providers, in contrast to their hard-copy counterparts, have continually turned to the private law of contract both to supplement and modify the public law of copyright.' While this trend began when most users were relatively large commercial, academic, or governmental enterprises, it accelerated as software providers began to market pre-packaged software to consumers, using the infamous "shrinkwrap" as a device to …

Welcome. My name is Ron Cass. I am Dean of the Law School here at Boston University. This is part of an ongoing series of symposia on the Internet and Internet law. The program has been put together by Michael Baram, of our Center for Law and Technology, and Steve Bauer, of the law firm Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault, which has contributed generously to the series and made it possible to line up a number of speakers. I am going to turn over the program now, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank both Mr. Baram and Mr. …
Text And Context In International Dispute Resolution, William W. Park
Text And Context In International Dispute Resolution, William W. Park
Faculty Scholarship
More than one thoughtful business manager has contemplated the prospect of litigation abroad in terms analogous to those used by the 19th century diarist quoted above. When an international venture goes awry, the dramatically disagreeable consequences can often include the "hometown justice" of the other side's national courts: unfamiliar procedures, perhaps a foreign language, and in some countries, a xenophobic or even corrupt judge.
Risk In The Balance, Jay D. Wexler
Risk In The Balance, Jay D. Wexler
Faculty Scholarship
In both academic and legislative circles, risk assessment reform is currently a hot topic. In the last decade, scholars have increasingly criticized the risk assessment procedures which administrative agencies employ to protect the public from environmental and health risks. Critics have pointed to several flaws in the current system, calling it inconsistent, undemocratic, overly decentralized, excessively rigid and unjustifiably conservative. To deal with these problems, scholars have proposed a variety of solutions. Peter Huber has urged agencies to assess risk less conservatively in order to save society from "second best" technology. Cass Sunstein and Richard Pildes have proposed injecting public …
Common Law Elements Of The Section 1983 Action, Jack M. Beermann
Common Law Elements Of The Section 1983 Action, Jack M. Beermann
Faculty Scholarship
This Article explores the role of the common law in Supreme Court interpretation and application of § 1983, which grants a cause of action for violations of constitutional rights committed "under color of any [state] statute, ordinance, regulation, custom or usage."' I argue that the common law has served primarily to narrow the reach of § 1983, and that this is inappropriate in light of the broad statutory language and the absence of good evidence that the enacting Congress intended a narrower application than the statutory language indicates.

Medical Discipline In The Twenty-First Century: Are Purchasers The Answer?, Frances H. Miller
Faculty Scholarship
Millenia prompt reflection about change, both past and future. Tons of newsprint have already been devoted to documenting the astonishing developments in medicine during the past century, and to speculating about what breakthroughs to expect in the next one.1 Health economists generally accept that these changes, particularly advances in technology, have been the dominant factor propelling U.S. health care costs into the stratosphere over the past hundred years.' Analysts by the score have also examined the myriad ways in which this nation's health care delivery system has been (and must continue to be) transformed to cope with these expensive …
Factoring Integers Defined By Second And Third Order Recurrence Relations, Kirk Ocke
Factoring Integers Defined By Second And Third Order Recurrence Relations, Kirk Ocke
Theses
Factoring the first two-hundred and fifty Fibonacci numbers using just trial division would take an unreasonable amount of time. Instead the problem must be attacked using modern factorization algorithms. We look not only at the Fibonacci numbers, but also at factoring integers defined by other second and third order recurrence relations. Specifically we include the Fibonacci, Tribonacci and Lucas numbers. We have verified the known factorizations of first 382 Fibonacci numbers and the first 185 Lucas numbers, we also completely factored the first 311 Tribonacci numbers.

Father Involvement And Preschool Behavior: Do Involved Dads Make A Difference?, Lorraine Bonati
Father Involvement And Preschool Behavior: Do Involved Dads Make A Difference?, Lorraine Bonati
Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not father involvement in child care has an effect on preschool behavior. Data were provided by a kindergarten readiness study conducted by the Primary Mental Health Project (PMHP) in Rochester, New York. Participants voluntarily completed background questionnaires including an item regarding the degree of father involvement in care of the children. A randomly-selected sample of 121 four- and five-year-old urban preschool children (61 males, 60 females) with low to high father involvement were rated on five behaviors and five social competencies by their teachers using the Teacher-Child Rating Scale, the …
Multidimensional Subset Sum Problem, Vladimir Kolesnikov
Multidimensional Subset Sum Problem, Vladimir Kolesnikov
Theses
This thesis explores new modifications to the successful LLL approach to solving the Subset Sum problem. This work is an optimization of the matrix representation of an instance. Traditionally, the basis matrix contained only one column with set elements and the sum. In this thesis we suggest having several data columns (thus introducing multidimensionality). This allows us to reduce the size of coulmn entries which changes the complexity of the problem. Splitting the data into multiple columns greatly simplifies the task of solving the Subset Sum problem. However, other problems arise when we try to generate multiple columns. Here we …
The Tragedy Of Hong Kong, Richard Klein
The Tragedy Of Hong Kong, Richard Klein
Scholarly Works
While the world watched the fireworks and celebrations occurring in Hong Kong on July 1, 1997, a far sadder event was, in fact, unfolding. The people of Hong Kong, most of whom had originally fled from China -- the country which was now taking over -- have simply never experienced the basic human right of self-determination. Rule was shifting from a colonial power which had denied the people of Hong Kong their basic human rights for virtually all of its 155-year administration, to a country which, immediately upon assuming sovereignty, made it clear that democracy would remain but a dream.
Messenger As The Medium Of Communication: The Use Of Interpreters In Mediation, The, Ileana Dominguez-Urban
Messenger As The Medium Of Communication: The Use Of Interpreters In Mediation, The, Ileana Dominguez-Urban
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Merely adding one more person to the mediation process adds greater complexity to the dynamics of the mediation than most lawyers and mediators would anticipate. As Part I of this article indicates, mediators must understand the complexities of interpreted mediation because the need for interpreted mediation is increasing due to national demographics, legal requirements, and international market forces. Part II examines the skills needed for interpretation and the probable structure of an interpreted mediation. Part III considers who might possess those interpretation skills as well as the additional skills required of one who will serve as an auxiliary to the …
Physician-Patient Arbitration Agreements: Procedural Safeguards May Not Be Enough - Buraczynski V. Eyring, Jennifer Gillespie
Physician-Patient Arbitration Agreements: Procedural Safeguards May Not Be Enough - Buraczynski V. Eyring, Jennifer Gillespie
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Insurance companies and physicians increasingly are requiring medical malpractice claims to be settled by arbitration.2 As a result, many patients are being presented with a new choice when they enter their doctor's office: Sign an arbitration agreement or forgo treatment with their physician. In Buraczynski v. Eyring, the physician required the patients to sign an arbitration agreement prior to performing medical services for them? The agreement contained provisions designed to ensure that the patient made an informed decision before consenting to the agreement.4 But what if there were no other doctors available if the patient chose not to sign?
Freeing The Parties From The Law: Designing An Interest And Rights Focused Model Of Landlord/Tenant Mediation, Joel Kurtzberg, Jamie Henikoff
Freeing The Parties From The Law: Designing An Interest And Rights Focused Model Of Landlord/Tenant Mediation, Joel Kurtzberg, Jamie Henikoff
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In this article, we point out two fundamental flaws of the critique. First, the critique compares mediation to an idealized view of adjudication instead of comparing mediation to its real-life alternatives. Second, it takes a narrow view of the role of law in mediation, erroneously assuming that mediators must either ignore the law or impose it on the parties. Part I of this article spells out the critics' claim that mediation generally harms the poor and disempowered by failing to adequately incorporate formal legal protections into the process. Part II examines the critique as it is applied to the landlord-tenant …
Patient Behaviors And Beliefs : Are Standardized Patients Different?, Colleen Shannon Lewy
Patient Behaviors And Beliefs : Are Standardized Patients Different?, Colleen Shannon Lewy
Dissertations and Theses
Standardized patients (SP's) are lay people who are trained to evaluate and train clinical skills for medical personnel. It was hypothesized that since SP's have had practice and experience interacting with medical personnel that they would exhibit higher levels of patient interaction with their own health care providers. Surveys were sent to SP's affiliated with two medical schools in the Northwest as well as a control group from a local university. Surveys consisted of the Thompson Decisional Involvement scale, the Ende Autonomy Preference Index, the Krantz Health Opinion Survey: Information Seeking subscale, a Satisfaction Criteria scale, and an Expectations survey. …
Tobacco Litigation As Cancer Prevention: Dealing With The Devil, George J. Annas
Tobacco Litigation As Cancer Prevention: Dealing With The Devil, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
Tobacco companies have come to personify the devil, and strategies to exorcise tobacco smoking from the United States proliferate. Tobacco's demonic status is even reflected in popular fiction. John Grisham's latest bestseller, The Runaway Jury, for example, is a broadside attack on tobacco companies. He opens the book by noting that tobacco companies “had been thoroughly isolated and vilified by consumer groups, doctors, even politicians.” This was bad, but it was getting even worse: “Now the lawyers were after them.”
Patients' Rights In Managed Care - Exit, Voice, And Choice, George J. Annas
Patients' Rights In Managed Care - Exit, Voice, And Choice, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
The ability of consumers to complain effectively about services and products is a key ingredient of the market. In Exit, Voice, and Loyalty, economist Albert O. Hirschman argues that the ability to take one's business elsewhere may not be enough to empower consumers in markets where all providers act similarly. Instead of simply going elsewhere, consumers need to have an effective way to voice their complaints, in order to give providers an incentive to be more responsive to consumers' interests. Marc Rodwin has suggested that the Hirschman analysis may be particularly relevant to members of managed-care organizations and ``individuals with …
Reefer Madness: The Federal Response To California's Medical-Marijuana Law, George J. Annas
Reefer Madness: The Federal Response To California's Medical-Marijuana Law, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
Marijuana is unique among illegal drugs in its political symbolism, its safety, and its wide use. More than 65 million Americans have tried marijuana, the use of which is not associated with increased mortality. Since the federal government first tried to tax it out of existence in 1937, at least partly in response to the 1936 film Reefer Madness, marijuana has remained at the center of controversy. Now physicians are becoming more actively involved. Most recently, the federal drug policy against any use of marijuana has been challenged by California's attempt to legalize its use by certain patients on the …
Some Preliminary Thoughts On The Deregulation Of Insurance To Advantage The Working Poor, Maria O'Brien
Some Preliminary Thoughts On The Deregulation Of Insurance To Advantage The Working Poor, Maria O'Brien
Faculty Scholarship
The regulatory framework in which employee benefits products are marketed and consumed by individuals and groups seeking to reduce exposure to covered events creates a set of background rules. These rules influence the way in which insurance products are developed and impact the number of people who will enjoy the protection these insurance products afford. This means that every proposal to regulate an employment related insurance product likely will affect both the quality and quantity of insurance available to consumers. For example, over the past decade, as the public and professionally-interested parties have grappled with the insurance implications of the …
Symbolic Statutes And Real Laws: The Pathologies Of The Anti-Terrorism And Effective Death Penalty Act And The Prison Litigation Reform Act, Larry Yackle
Faculty Scholarship
Criminals are not popular. No politician in recent memory has lost an election for being too tough on crime. In 1996, the Republican Congress and the Democratic President collaborated on two major statutes affecting the legal protections available to criminals The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) modifies the habeas corpus statute in a number of ways, affecting the disposition of federal post-conviction challenges to all criminal convictions, not just those resulting in death sentences? The Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) addresses lawsuits filed by prisoners challenging the conditions of their confinement. The PLRA covers both suits …
Rethinking Remedies At The Intersection Of Intellectual Property And Contract: Toward A Unified Body Of Law, Maureen A. O'Rourke
Rethinking Remedies At The Intersection Of Intellectual Property And Contract: Toward A Unified Body Of Law, Maureen A. O'Rourke
Faculty Scholarship
As society continues to move "on-line"' and technology advances in fields such as biotechnology, a paradigm shift is occurring. Investors are focusing less on asset valuations based on the physical goods owned by a particular firm and more on the value of intangibles-the information and know-how possessed by the firm and embodied in its intellectual property rights. Firms and even entire industries have grown up with the primarily paper assets of patents and copyrights.
