Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article begins by tracing the historical development of victim impact evidence through Supreme Court jurisprudence and state legislation and analyzes their use in the sentencing of phase capital punishment trials. It argues that the Supreme Court's decision in Payne V Tennessee allowing a jury to consider victim impact evidence in capital punishment sentencing is troublesome in light of a capital punishment defendant's constitutional rights, the history of the death penalty and traditional sentencing procedures. It concludes with a proposal for guidelines to regulates the use of such evidence in capital punishment sentencing,

Stories From The Other Side Of The Screen: Identifying Social Construction Within Educational Software, Brenda Matthis

Journal of Pedagogy, Pluralism, and Practice

Designers of software programs provide their narratives, perspectives, and points of view through the software programs they develop, consciously and explicitly or not. As the providers of these narratives, the software designers are considered the authors of this medium. These authors' narratives contribute to the social construction of the users of the software as they gain cognitive instruction and entertainment. This is especially important to consider when it comes to educational software used by children in the classroom and in the home. The traditional process for the examination of narrative and content in a medium is a review. Narratives in …

Esl Students' Attitudes And Communicative Competence, Sadiq H. Midraj

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The intent of this study was to investigate the relationship between attitudinal and motivational variables and successful English as a second language (ESL) learning among ESL international students in the State of Indiana. To carry out this intent, the students' achievement on the TOEFL test, which was used to measure the participants' attained language proficiency, was related to anomie, integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, willingness to communicate with people from other cultures, and willingness to spend time and to learn English. Lambert-Gardner's questionnaire concerning attitude and motivation was modified and administered. Fifty items were prepared to measure five independent variables that …

Legal Ethics For A Fragmented Society: Between Professional And Personal, Allan C. Hutchinson

Articles & Book Chapters

The legal profession has never been much loved. From Plato through Charles Dickens to Tom Wolfe, literature attests eloquently to its impugned status. As much envied as reviled, the reputation and prestige of lawyers is now considered by many to be at an all-time low. Its image as a noble and honourable profession is in tatters. Society tends to view lawyers as a rich and elite profession that is more interested in its own pocketbook than the public interest. The number of savage jokes about lawyers would be funny if they did not touch a raw nerve: after all, humour …

Full Faith And Credit And The Equity Conflict, Polly J. Price

Faculty Articles

As this Article relates, the current problem with interstate en­forcement of injunctions and other equitable decrees is illustrated by the Court's confusion in Baker. The Court reached the correct result in the case before it, but the basic problems of "equity con­flict" remain unresolved. Both the Court's opinion and the two con­currences were unsatisfactory because the Court failed to address the key underlying issue of whether or to what extent courts may rely on state law to enjoin extraterritorial conduct. Had the Court focused on this issue, I argue, it could have based its decision upon a more appealing rationale. …

Cloning People: A Jewish Law Analysis Of The Issues, Michael J. Broyde

Faculty Articles

This Article is an attempt to create a preliminary and tentative analysis of the technology of cloning from a Jewish law perspective. Like all preliminary analyses, it is designed not to advance a rule that represents itself as definitive normative Jewish law, but rather an attempt to outline some of the issues in the hope that others will focus on the problems and analysis found in this Article and will sharpen or correct that analysis. Such is the way that Jewish law seeks truth.

In the case of cloning-as with all advances in reproductive technology- the Jewish tradition is betwixt …

Creation Acts, Paul Brian Mccoy

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Her breath leaves her mouth in a cloud and clings to the mirror, fogging it, hiding her face. Her dark eyes are slowly revealed as the glass clears, then her nose, strong and pronounced, and finally her mouth, the full lips pulling into a frown. She might as well be outside, it's so cold. Glancing toward the window, at the huge flakes of snow making their way to the ground below, she sighs. She pulls her jacket tighter around her and reaches for the phone, pausing briefly before picking it up. With gloved fingers she punches the buttons, then drops …

Aboriginal Title And The Division Of Powers: Rethinking Federal And Provincial Jurisdiction, Kent Mcneil

Articles & Book Chapters

The recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Delgamuukw v. British Columbia calls for re-examination of a number of significant Aboriginal rights issues. The crucial role of oral histories in Aboriginal rights litigation was emphasized by the Court, and guidelines were laid down for trial judges to admit and give proper weight to that evidence. For the first time the Court addressed the vital issue of the content of Aboriginal title and provided direction on how that title can be proved.The Court also dealt with the constitutional protection accorded to Aboriginal title by s. 35(1) of the Constitution …

Maskless, Direct Deposition Of Copper Onto Aluminum Bond Pads For Flip Chip Applications, M. Fang, Thomas J. O'Keefe, M. Stroder, W. Shih, Matthew O'Keefe, R. Strawser, D. Via

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Flip chip interconnection of integrated circuits (IC) for packaging applications such as direct chip attachment use Pb-Sn solders as the connection between the die and the substrate. Under bump metallization is typically used to transition from the non-solderable Al bond pad on the IC to a solderable surface such as copper using traditional blanket metal deposition, photolithography and etching procedures. In this study, we report for the first time the use of a novel process for selectively depositing adherent copper directly onto aluminum thin films, eliminating the need for adhesion promoting transition layers and additional patterning steps. Utilizing copper bearing …
