Responding To The Value Imperative: Learning To Create Value In The Attorney-Client Relationship, Kenneth R. Margolis

Clinical Law Review

There is widespread agreement that law schools cannot do everything necessary to prepare students for the competent practice of law. Perhaps law schools are best suited to concentrate on basic legal skills and knowledge building a foundation for the more advanced skills and knowledge that every lawyer must possess in order to represent clients effectively. Even in clinical programs, there are limits to what can be taught to novice practitioners. How to relate to clients, basic factual investigation, fundamental legal research, how to prepare a simple statement to the court, how to plan for a negotiation - let alone the …

Understanding Casablanca: A Values-Based Approach To Legal Negotiations, Roy Stuckey

Clinical Law Review

The central thesis of this Article is that each party's desire to attain personal happiness underlies all decisions in negotiations. While this paradigm does not resolve all of the uncertainties about negotiations, it does provide a simple reference point that can help us understand what the parties to a negotiation want, expect, and are willing to accept. It can also help us develop and employ effective strategies and tactics. The objective of all negotiators is to obtain satisfactory outcomes. As lawyers, we have a professional responsibility to try to maximize our clients' satisfaction with the results of negotiations. This requires …

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 …

Clients' And Students' Stories: Avoiding Exploitation And Complying With The Law To Produce Scholarship With Integrity, Nina W. Tarr

Clinical Law Review

The students sit in the clinic shaking their heads over their client's situation. The professor joins in the discussion and some other students gather around to hear the story, to add their comments and to assist in developing strategy. The next day, the professor listens while the students counsel the client who tells them some additional facts and looks worried. They step into the courtroom where the opposing counsel and judge waltz through the proceedings like old dance partners while the students make an excellent effort to keep up. On the way back to the law school, the professor and …

Tolerance And Antisemitism: Reflections Of Post-War America In The Films "Crossfire" (1947), "Gentleman's Agreement" (1947) And "Oliver Twist" (1948), Susan Rips Paley

Student Work

This thesis explores conscious liberal tolerance attitudes in America after World War II. Its specific focus is antisemitism, and it utilizes Hollywood films Crossfire (1947), Gentleman's Agreement (1947) and the British Oliver Twist (1948) as the context for analysis. The origins of classical antisemitism are examined, as well as the history of antisemitism in England and America. American societal attitudes towards Jews are discussed and depictions of Jews in American films until 1947 are presented. The story and dialogue of each film is introduced, followed by the filmmakers' rationale for championing their films. Prerelease objections and concerns are addressed, and …

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 …

Service-Learning In The Community - Are We Ready For The Journey?, William Finger

Partnerships/Community

It's late Sunday afternoon in downtown Raleigh, NC, in a low concrete building next to the railroad tracks. We are working in a small room where the 40 residents will eat supper in about an hour, when a church group serves the only full meal of the day for many of the residents. We have folded the tables and pushed them against the wall. Most of the residents are watching television in the only other common room in the building or lying on their bunks in the men's or women's dorm, each a single large room. A few are in …

Sraffa And Keynes: Differences And Shared Preconceptions, John B. Davis

Economics Faculty Research and Publications

The relationship between the thinking and work of Sraffa and Keynes is complex and controversial. This paper approaches it initially through an investigation of their respective interpretations of their predecessors, the classical economics and Marshall. Keynes is argued to have misinterpreted the classicals on Say's Law largely on account of his having accepting Marshall's continuity conception of the relation of classical to neoclassical economics. Sraffa's understanding of classical economics as being rooted in a different conception of value and distribution is opposed to Keynes's view. Yet though the two differed at this fundamental level, an argument can be made for …

Ngatish, Dale T. Mosley

Masters Theses

Ngatish is a tragedy involving the lives of Othello's African family. My purpose in writing this play is to explore the shifts in roles between women and men in powerful and subservient positions. Therefore, I have created an historical 16th-century African setting for the play while the story-line explores the lives of Othello, his African family, and his first wife, Ngatish.

Through Ngatish, I want to answer some to the unknowns in Othello: how was such a notorious general so easily and readily duped by an obviously envious man as Iago: what were his secrets; his …

Assessing Indicators Of Early Reading Skills, Tammy M. Claypool

Masters Theses

Measures that assess pre-reading skills were examined. The measures included a typical informal kindergarten inventory for Initial Consonant Sound Identification, and Good's (1997) DIBELS measures that include: Letter Naming Fluency, Onset Recognition Fluency, and Phonemic Awareness Fluency. Participants included 50 kindergarten students from three different classrooms from two elementary school buildings in the same school district. Results demonstrated that the four measures were highly correlated with each other, and that the Onset Recognition Fluency measure best predicted the classroom teacher' predictions of at-risk students for reading difficulties. The four measures together were moderately to highly predictive of the teachers' ratings …

Sex Differences In The Relations Between Sex Guilt And Sexual Experience, Melanie M. Brown

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine whether sex differences exist in the relations between sex guilt and sexual behavior. Past research has examined variables that affect sex guilt and found that sex guilt and sexual behavior are inversely related. This study specifically examined sex differences and how they affect this relation. The participants were 163 male and female undergraduate students at Eastern Illinois University. Mosher's revised Sex guilt Inventory and Paulson and Sputa's Sexual Behavior Frequency survey were administered along with a biographical data sheet.

Bivariate correlation analyses revealed that sex guilt and sexual behavior were inversely related. …

Validity Of The Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale With A Rural Sample, Julie A. Lindstrom

Masters Theses

The problem that was investigated in the current study was that the norms of the Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale (RADS) (Reynolds, 1987) may have had limited generalizability to students attending Paris High School and Mayo Middle School in rural Paris, Illinois because it was normed on "normal" subjects in only one urban/suburban school district in Wisconsin. The purposes of the current study were to establish Paris norms for the RADS and to fulfill Paris' need for an instrument to efficiently and inexpensively assess students suspected of having depression. This investigator hypothesized that the norms on the RADS would differ between …

Examiner Errors In Scoring The Wisc-Iii Vocabulary, Comprehension, And Similarities Subtests, Ryan L. Neitzel

Masters Theses

Examiner errors when scoring the WISC-III Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Similarities subtests were examined. Twenty-one graduate students enrolled in school psychology training programs and twenty-three certified school psychologist practitioners participated in scoring a constructed record form containing both standard responses (items clearly accounted for in the WISC-III Manual) and ambiguous responses (items not specifically accounted for in the WISC-III Manual). Descriptive Statistics demonstrated that graduate students and practitioners made errors on all subtests and item types. However, the Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Similarities ambiguous responses contained the most errors. Furthermore, Analysis of Variance demonstrated that for each subtest, ambiguous responses …

Relations Between Consultant Characteristics And Measures Of Consultation Quality And Outcome, Ian R. Macleod

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to explore school-based consultation effectiveness (as perceived by classroom teachers) and important indices of consultation quality and student outcome. Specifically, the research explored 1) important characteristics of school-based consultants using the Consultant Effectiveness Scale (CES), 2) the relations between quality of the consultation process and student outcome, and 3) the measurement similarities between the CES and the measure of consultation process quality. Questionnaires were completed by 85 teachers working in grades K-12 in a suburban area of Chicago. To participate, teachers must have engaged in a consultative relationship within the past 12 months.
