Colorimetric Characterization Of The Apple Studio Display (Flat Panel Lcd), Mark Fairchild, David Wyble

Articles

The colorimetric characterization of a flat-panel LCD monitor, the Apple Studio Display, using traditional CRT characterization techniques was evaluated. The results showed that the display performed up to the manufacturer's specifications in terms of luminance and contrast. However, the traditional CRT gain-offset-gamma (GOG) model for characterization was inadequate and a model with one-dimensional lookup tables followed by a 3x3 matrix was developed. The LUT model performed excellently with average CIE94 color differences between measured and predicted colors of approximately 1.0.

Vicarious Liabiliy For Sexual Assault: The Two New Tests For Scope Of Employment In B.(P.A.) V. Curry And T.(G.) V. Griffiths, Sheila Wildeman

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

Recently, Canadian courts have been divided on the issue of whether or in what conditions vicarious liability may be assigned for an employee's act of sexual assault. In particular, the controversy has focused upon the issue of the proper test for gauging whether a sexual assault may be deemed to have been committed within the scope of employment. The most radical new approach to scope of employment in the context of sexual assault has been that of the B.C. Court of Appeal in the case B.(P.A.) v. Curry and its companion judgment T.(G.) v. Griffiths. In B.(P.A.), the B.C. Court …

Mandatory Indeterminate Sentences Under Dangerous Offender Legislation, Jennifer J. Soward

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

On September 17, 1996, Allan Rock, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and Herb Grey, Solicitor General of Canada, announced "tough new measures" to deal with dangerous offenders. These measures were introduced in Bill C-55, which received Royal Assent on April 15, 1997. The following comment focuses on only one significant change to the dangerous offender legislation. As part of these measures, the new section 753(4) of the Criminal Code removes a judge's discretion to award a determinate sentence once an accused is found to be a dangerous offender. This discretionary power is which existed in the former …

Law And Language: An Empirically-Based Model For The Opening Moments Of Client Interviews, Gay Gellhorn

Clinical Law Review

This paper presents a model for lawyer-client interaction in the opening moments of an initial encounter. The model is derived from empirical data- videotaped and transcribed law student-client and attorney-client first interviews- which demonstrate that clients reveal critical self-information in their opening words, regardless of when those words occur and regardless of the legal interviewer's role in eliciting them. This information usually is not acknowledged by legal interviewers, with negative consequences. Failure to hear and see affects the legal interviewer's ability to form a relationship with a client, to comprehend the full range of information the client needs to share, …

What If There Is No Client: Prosecutors As Counselors Of Crime Victims, Stacy Caplow

Clinical Law Review

As a teacher in a criminal practice-based clinic, I often feel like an eavesdropper on the discourse among clinicians about lawyering skills and professional values. Both the context of, and the language describing, criminal law practice, are sufficiently different from civil practice to make it difficult to teach many of the lessons and approaches developed in traditional texts used in clinical education, particularly those concerned with client-counseling. The dissonance between the sounds heard in a criminal and civil practice was loud when I was teaching a criminal defense clinic. When I moved on to teach an in-house prosecutor's clinic, the …

Slip-Sliding Into Mediation: Can Lawyers Mediate Their Clients' Problems?, Jonathan M. Hyman

Clinical Law Review

Can lawyers become mediators? Imagine a meeting between a lawyer and a client, discussing a legal dispute that has brought the client to the lawyer's office. Imagine, too, that the lawyer has dutifully informed the client about the various options that are available for handling the dispute, ranging from one end of the spectrum - adversarial litigation - to the other - mediation. Indeed, some court rules, and even some ethics standards, ask lawyers to inform their clients of the various methods available to resolve the clients' disputes, including mediation. The lawyer is skilled and candid. She accurately and wholeheartedly …

Flexible Paradigms And Slim Course Design: Initiating A Professional Approach To Learning Advocacy Skills, Marcus Soanes

Clinical Law Review

Professional training programs in England seek to prepare students for a life-long journey of development in the world of practice. The aim is high, the students have much to learn and the tutors have a lot to teach. Many decisions have to be made about course content and the structure, form and method of the educational program. As part of the planning strategy the course designers have to ask themselves and others fundamental questions about the nature of the legal profession and the role of the lawyer in society. The answers to two such fundamental questions have influenced the way …

Coherence And Incoherence In Values-Talk, Paul R. Tremblay

Clinical Law Review

The theme of the 1998 Conference of the Clinical Section of the Association of American Law Schools, held in Portland, Oregon, was "values"- what values law professors hold, how they might differ from those of their students, whether it is appropriate to "teach" about values, whether it is even possible not to teach about them, how to discuss values in a non-threatening fashion, whether some values might simply be wrong, and so forth. Important questions, generating productive conversation and debate, to the deep satisfaction, from all signs, of the participants, who are not known to be uncritical of such conferences …

Toward A Practical Estate-Tax Exclusion For Family-Run Businesses: Analysis Of Section 2033a And Proposal For Reform, Eric D. Chason, Robert T. Danforth

Faculty Publications

In a previous work appearing in this Journal, the authors proposed an approach to estate and gift taxation that encourages productive behavior by the recipients of wealth. In this Article, the authors analyze, in the context of their earlier work, the new estate-tax exclusion for closely held businesses (section 2033A) created by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. The authors describe the features of a practical family-run business exclusion and conclude that section 2033A, in its present form, fails as a practical exclusion. The authors catalogue those elements of section 2033A that should be retained and propose reforms of those …

The Book Of Margery Kempe: Religious Discourse And The Carnivalesque Woman, Kathryn Summers

Quidditas

Both during her lifetime and since the full manuscript of her forceful autobiography was discovered, no one has quite known what to do with Margery Kempe. Even her staunchest contemporary supporters occasionally lost patience with her or worried that they had inadvertently allied themselves with the wrong side in the divine conflict. Margery followed all the conventional Christian forms: she passed repeated ecclesiastical trials for orthodoxy with flying colors; she went on all the right pilgrimages; she said numberless prayers and took countless communions; even her crying fits and most of her visions have been shown to reflect the experiences …

Introduction to the current issue, including editor's picks. Peterson examines “terminological trickiness” and lexical games, particularly as A. A. Howsepian employs them in a recent article in the distinguished journal Religious Studies.

We Ask You To Consider: Learning About Practical Judgment In Lawyering, Mark Neal Aaronson

Clinical Law Review

When I need a good lawyer, I look for someone who is knowledgeable and conscientious and has integrity, but above all I want someone with good judgment. Though it is not that clear what we precisely mean when we talk about sound lawyering judgment, few would dispute its desirability and potential importance. Many are apt to question whether judgment can be taught in law school or any school. Nonetheless, I want to suggest that implicit in much of what we are doing in clinical legal education is trying to find ways to help law students exercise better judgment in their …

Medical Paradigms For Counseling: Giving Clients Bad News, Linda F. Smith

Clinical Law Review

The paradigm of a professional delivering "bad news," while not current in legal counseling, has become an important paradigm in the medical world. Medical professionals see counseling as typically beginning with a diagnosis; and sometimes that diagnosis is upsetting to the patient. Hence oncologists tell patients of their cancer, geneticists tell parents their infant has Down syndrome, and emergency room staff tell relatives about accidents and death. Usually these medical professionals also offer choices- choices among therapies, pain management techniques and support systems. But before the counselor offers alternatives, she must deliver the "bad news." This paper draws upon the …

Preparing Students For The Profession: Clinical Education, Collaborative Pedagogy, And The Realities Of Practice For The New Lawyer, Catherine Gage O'Grady

Clinical Law Review

Legal education is currently taking tentative steps beyond teaching lawyering skills toward a focus on professional collaborative relationships and human interactions. To this end, many legal educators have embraced a pedagogy that values student collaboration. Clinical education in particular has been praised for providing students with numerous opportunities to work collaboratively, and clinical educators have generally recognized the benefits of collaborative pedagogy to prepare students for the practice of law. Few educators, however, have asked whether collaborative pedagogy in a law school clinic adequately prepares students to face the power differentials and conformance pressures that do not exist in most …
