The Rhetoric Of Neutrality And The Philosophers’ Brief: A Critique Of The Amicus Brief Of Six Moral Philosophers In Washington V. Glucksberg And Vacco V. Quill, Richard Church

Law and Contemporary Problems

Church discusses the amicus brief to the US Supreme Court in the companion assisted suicide cases of "Washington v. Glucksberg" and "Vacco v. Quill," in which six philosophers offer their views. The philosophers' charge--that prohibiting physician-assisted suicide can only be based on impermissible sectarian religious or ethical premises--can be raised against their "neutral" liberal argument itself.

Would Adr Have Saved Romeo And Juliet?, Pam Marshall

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Like many disputes, Romeo and Juliet is a story with no winners; the outcome is destined to be lose-lose. Disputes are an inevitable part of human interaction and people need to learn effective and reasonable ways of dealing with their disputes. The question is how can this be done in a way that leaves people intact. The article compares and contrasts two modes for resolving disputes: adjudication and alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The article looks at what happens when disputes arise-how do problems become "disputes" and what do people do about them? The role of lawyers as dispute creators as …

Why Arbitrate?: Ontario's Recent Experience With Commercial Arbitration, Randy A. Pepper

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

In 1988, Ontario adopted the International Commercial Arbitration Act and in January 1992 the Arbitration Act, 1991 came into force for domestic arbitrations. These statutes and similar legislation in other provinces pushed Canadian arbitration regimes into the forefront of industrial nations. However, there has not been a significant increase in the number of commercial arbitrations being conducted in Ontario. This article suggests that Ontario is ideally placed to become an important centre for domestic and international arbitration. The author asserts that if commercial parties and their counsel were more familiar with the benefits of the arbitral process and with the …

What Juries Can't Do Well: The Jury's Performance As A Risk Manager, W. Kip Viscusi, Reid Hastie

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Can juries handle complex cases? One way to frame this question in behavioral science terms is to ask: What tasks can juries perform well and what tasks will they perform poorly? Our basic precept is that the legal system should ask juries to perform tasks that they are good at performing and should not require juries to carry out tasks that they cannot perform well. A second guiding theme in our approach to the issue of jury competency is that the most relevant, most useful analyses of jury performance are based on empirical observations and data, not on rational analyses …

Psychiatric Evidence In Criminal Trials: To Junk Or Not To Junk?, Christopher Slobogin

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This Article begins, in Part I, with a brief review of the past four decades" of psychiatric and psychological testimony in criminal trials (henceforth referred to simply as "psychiatric testimony"). Although this review cannot be called comprehensive, it does make clear that, contrary to what the popular literature would have us believe, psychiatric innovation is neither at an all time high nor the prevalent form of opinion testimony by mental health professionals. At the same time, such "nontraditional" expert opinion from clinicians, on those rare occasions when it does occur, has changed over the past few decades in both content …

Gender Types, Self-Esteem, And Academic Achievement In Middle School Students, Kimberly D. Noll

Student Work

The relationship among gender typing, self-esteem, and academic achievement was investigated in 314 middle school participants. Participants were administered the Children’s Sex Role Inventory (CSRI) and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory-School Form (CSEI). The results of the CSRI and CSEI were compared to each participant's score on the California Achievement Test (CAT). Analysis of variance, chi-square, and Pearson product moment correlation's were utilized to assess relationships among the variables. Results indicated that, in the current sample, self-esteem and achievement were unrelated, aschematic characteristics were correlated with high achievement, girls exhibited higher achievement than boys, both boys and girls responded most frequently …

Men Are Not Angels: The Realpolitik Of Direct Democracy, Eric Lane

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

My task is to compare the processes of American representative democracy, or deliberative democracy, with those of direct democracy, or direct initiative lawmaking. By direct democracy I mean a form of lawmaking that allows a state's citizens to initiate amendments to statutes or constitutions for public consideration through a referendum. Included within this definition are systems that permit opportunity for legislative action prior to a referendum.

Comparing representative democracy and direct democracy involves more than an a contextual analysis of the steps in each process. Lawmaking processes are the exercise of real power. They regulate behavior, redistribute wealth, and indicate …

The Effects Of Phonological Awareness Activities On At-Risk First Grade Readers, Kimberly L. Van Belois

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to look at a variety of phonological awareness studies and their impact on students with reading difficulties and to implement a program to develop student's reading abilities and look at its impact on student's knowledge of vowel and consonant recognition, vowel sounds, and sight words. Phonological awareness can be defined as one's sensitivity to, or explicit awareness of, the phonological structure of words in one's language. A number of researchers (eg., Libennan, Shankweiler, & Liberman, 1989) have concluded that adequate awareness of the phonological structure of words helps to make learning to read words …

Court Interpreting Services In State And Federal Courts: Reasons And Options For Inter-Court Coordination, William E. Hewitt, Paula Hannaford-Agor, Catherine Gill, Melissa Cantrell

Faculty Publications

In 1978 a federal law marked the beginning of standard setting and professionalization of court interpreters through testing. In 1995, an entity now called the Consortium for State Court Interpreter Certification was created by the National Center for State Courts and four founding states (Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington.) The Consortium was created as a way to ameliorate shortages of resources and expertise to implement standards for interpreting proficiency at the state level, problems shared by virtually all of the states. Now, as a consequence of institutionalization, a forum has been created wherein exchange of information and expertise, and …

William Mahone And The Confederate Command Style During The Siege Of Petersburg, 1864-1865, David Kenneth Reed

History Theses & Dissertations

William Mahone exemplified the audacity and adaptability acquired by southern commanders during the last year of the American Civil War. Mahone's contribution to Confederate military operations during the siege of Petersburg, Virginia, from 1864-1865 played an important role in the Confederacy's survival. During the siege, he was one of Lee's most trusted and capable lieutenants. The findings of this study show that Mahone's emergence as a superior divisional commander came about mainly because of his knowledge of the terrain surrounding Petersburg.

This thesis discusses the way Mahone extended the life of the Confederacy. Four of Mahone's engagements during the siege …
