Liver Transplant Dilemma: The Alcoholic, Medicaid Patient, Vanessa Williamson

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

A case scenario on Ivan Bradford. Ivan is a fifty-five year old, white male in need of a liver transplant. Ivan has been an alcoholic since he was thirty-two years old, and has developed an irreversible advanced liver disease, cirrhosis. In essence, the disease is the end result in scarring of the liver due to prolonged alcohol abuse. This scarring prevents the liver from performing many of its vital functions. Without a liver transplant Ivan will die.

The Revolution In Higher Education, James V. Koch

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

Joseph Schumpeter, the Austrian born economist and social historian who spent a major part of his academic career at Harvard, was a cogent observer of how societies develop. His Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy is still considered a classic. Schumpeter spoke of "perennial gales of creative destruction" (often technological) that shock societies and force change. The advent of electricity and the coming of the automobile illustrate technologies that created new power arrangements and destroyed or modified existing institutions. Higher education is now in the midst of a Schumpeterian "gale of creative destruction"--a revolution, many say. After almost 150 years of reliance …

Statistical Analysis Of Structural Response Via A Quadratic Regression Model, Mahesh Balasubramanian

Masters Theses

"Described herein is the development of an efficient capability to analyze the statistics of structural responses given a description of the statistics of the input, or design, variables. In the application of interest, inputs and outputs are related through a very large finite element model. The finite element model is approximated here by a second-order hyper-surface. Developed for the quadratic relationship are expressions for response means, standard deviations and correlation coefficients. The analysis allows correlated and uncorrelated input variables, and admissible input variable distributions are normal, log-normal and Weibull.

In addition to characterizations of response means, standard deviations and correlation …

Caveat Lector: Conflicts Of Interest Of Ali Members In Drafting The Restatements, Monroe H. Freedman

Hofstra Law Review

The American Law Institute's reputation for impartial judgment in formulating Restatements of the Law has been compromised by conflicts of interest on the part of ALI members who vote on Restatement provisions. That is, there is a significant risk that the independent professional judgment of ALI members has been materially and adversely affected by the interests of members' clients and by the members' own interests. As a result, no judge, scholar, or student can rely on a Restatement rule or comment as representing the objective judgment of ALI members, unaffected by the partisanship of advocates who are creating precedents to …

The Protection Of Human Rights In The New Polish Constitution, Ryszard Cholewinski

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article examines the extent of human rights protection under the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of April 2, 1997 ("new Polish Constitution" or "Constitution"), adopted on April 2, 1997, by the Polish National Assembly and approved by the Polish people in a referendum on May 25, 1997.

Ec Competition System -- Proposals For Reform, Alexander Schaub

Fordham International Law Journal

At last year's Fordham Corporate Law Institute, under the heading "The Millennium Approaches," I spoke about the challenges that European Community ("EC" or "Community") competition law is facing or will face in the near future. I came to the conclusion that the time has come for a re-examination and modernization of our rules, in particular the implementing and procedural legislation. I reached this conclusion based upon three reasons.

Transparency- Not Just A Vogue Word, Bo Vesterdorf

Fordham International Law Journal

I therefore intend to focus my attention on transparency issues as they relate to the decision-making process and leave out those issues relating to the legislative process. Moreover, I shall restrict myself to examining a few selected issues concerning the topic and shall base my examination principally on some of the more recent judgments of the Court of First Instance and the Court of Justice of the European Communities (together, “Community Courts”).

The "Power Of Appraisal" (Pouvoir D'Appreciation) Of The Commission Of The European Communities Vis-À-Vis The Powers Of Judicial Review Of The Communities' Court Of Justice And Court Of First Instance, Virpi Tiili, Jan Vanhamme

Fordham International Law Journal

It is, therefore, clear that the Courts must test the soundness of the Commission's appraisals. This means, however, that judges are obliged to examine the administrative file, thereby inevitably bringing themselves intellectually close to building their own bridge from the facts, via the legal framework of the case, to a legal outcome in casu. In some instances, it may prove almost impossible to disguise the conflict between the Court’s and the Commission's assessments in the judgment, especially if annulment or damages is the outcome of the case. It is in this regard that an appropriate balance must be found between …

External Relations Powers Of The European Community, Jacques H.J. Bourgeois

Fordham International Law Journal

As a result both of the way in which the external relations powers of the European Community (“EC” or “Community”) have been organized by the Treaty establishing the European Community (“EC Treaty”) and of the interpretation by the Court of Justice of the European Communities (“ECJ”), an analysis of the evolution of the external relations powers requires distinguishing between powers relating to foreign trade in the strict sense of the terms, i.e., “common commercial policy” under Article 113 of the EC Treaty, and other external relations powers both express and implied. The subject of this contribution is the external relations …

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

The annual number of baptisms in the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church in Japan has decreased from 426 in 1986 to 334 in 1995 despite increases in both the total membership and number of churches. During the same period of time, the number of pastors has declined from 118 in 1986 to 112 in 1995. Thus, the average annual baptisms per pastor has decreased from 3.61 in 1986 to 2.98 in 1995.

Method

Current literature was reviewed. This included books and articles on the principles, strategies, and programs which help pastors develop their abilities to equip the laity and to …

A Model For Training Church Family Life Directors In Hispanic Congregations In The Michigan Conference, Jorge Raul Mayer

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem. The complexity of today’s life—with divorce, parenting inadequacy, juvenile delinquency, one-parent households, financial pressures, and the sexual revolution— creates significant distress to the families. Within the general population of the United States, Hispanics find additional stressors in acculturation and machismo. The families in Hispanic congregations of the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists did not have a meaningful ministry to assist them in coping with these challenges.

Method. This project examined the biblical principles on the origin, composition, and mission of the family, the socio-theoretical approaches to understand the family as an institution, and the Hispanic family in the United …
