Organizational Culture And Leadership At Berea College: An Historical Inquiry Into Saga Development And Underlying Cultural Assumptions., Gerald Emerson Wood

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Culture is a pervasive concept that is not easily encompassed in any one definition. Culture within an organization is both process and product. It is both a dynamic agent of influence within the temporal and spatial context of organizational life and an object of study approached from the actor's point of view and thickly described. My general interest is in the cultural context of colleges, and more specifically in the part that culture has played in the formation and transformation of the mission and role of Berea College as it has sought to educate marginalized people for nearly 150 years. …

Persistent Organic Pollutants: Regime Formation And Norm Selection, Christina S. Chen

Connecticut Journal of International Law

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are hazardous and potentially life-threatening toxic chemicals. The international community recently agreed to create an international legally binding instrument to control POPs.' Although myriad questions confront the creation of a new regime, this Comment will focus on the types of norms and control strategies that should be devised in order to establish an effective POPs regime. In order to analyze the issue of norm crafting, Part I of this Comment outlines the background of the POPs problem and the current efforts of the United Nations to establish consensus on the need for a POPs regime. Part …

Partial Entrenchment Of A Bill Of Rights: The Canadian Model Offers A Viable Solution To The United Kingdom's Bill Of Rights Debate, Vincent P. Pace

Connecticut Journal of International Law

For three decades the United Kingdom has debated whether or not to adopt a bill of fights.' The United Kingdom does not have a constitution that codifies fundamental rights and entrenches these rights from government encroachment. Instead, precedent, customs, conventions, and Acts of Parliament collectively safeguard basic rights.3 Parliament, by simple majority approval, maintains the power to modify or repeal rights guaranteed by any of these sources. The judiciary cannot protect fundamental fights from executive or legislative encroachment because judges in the United Kingdom do not possess the power of judicial 4 review.

This debate has generated considerable controversy because …

The Threat Or Use Of Nuclear Weapons: Discernable Legal Policies Of The Judges Of The International Court Of Justice, Kazuomi Ouchi

Connecticut Journal of International Law

By a letter dated 19 December 1994, the Secretary-General of the United Nations officially communicated to the Registrar of the International Court of Justice the decision taken by the General Assembly of the United Nations to submit the question of the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons to the Court for an advisory opinion. The General Assembly noting, inter alia, that Article 96, paragraph 1, of the United Nations Charter empowers the General Assembly to request the Court to give an advisory opinion on any legal question, decided to request the Court to urgently render its advisory …

Law, Venture Capital, And Entrepreneurism In Japan: A Microeconomic Perspective On The Impact Of Law On The Generation And Financing Of Venture Businesses, Eric C. Sibbitt

Connecticut Journal of International Law

Part one of this article attempts to demonstrate through a microeconomic framework how the legal, economic, and cultural forces underlying the Japanese financial system impact the funding of venture businesses in Japan. In a venture finance market, the microeconomic decisions of entrepreneurs and venture investors determine how much capital is ultimately supplied to finance venture businesses. Investors, the suppliers of capital to a venture market, seek to ensure the highest possible payback on investment by maximizing expected returns. Rational entrepreneurs, on the demand side of the market for venture capital, seek the use of investor capital to pursue income-generating opportunities …

Building An International Criminal Court For The 21st Century, Bryan F. Macpherson

Connecticut Journal of International Law

This article proposes significant, yet realistic, enhancements to the proposed court's jurisdictional scheme that could vastly increase its usefulness without undermining valid national interests. The proposed court could exercise jurisdiction over certain serious international crimes provided that the affected states have filed declarations accepting the court's jurisdiction over the crime. The proposal assumes that states would file declarations prospectively accepting the court's jurisdiction. In theory, this would set up an international criminal justice system that would operate without requiring any further state consent. However, states also wish to reserve the right to try international criminals in their own courts. The …

Implications Of Second-Best Theory For Administrative And Regulatory Law: A Case Study Of Public Utility Regulation, Andrew P. Morriss

Faculty Scholarship

Compared to early twentieth century policy analysts, we have available today extensive tools of "comparative institutional analysis,'' increasingly sophisticated economic models,3 vastly increased and widely distributed computing power, and gigabytes of data. Despite all this, we simply have not come to grips with the implications of second-best theory for regulatory interventions. Moreover, policy must address not only the economic implications of second-best theory but the legal and political implications as well: policymakers must consider the interaction of potential shortcomings of the legal and political tools available when they design the solutions to be implemented with those tools.

What Should Lawyers Know About Economics, Robert Whaples, Andrew P. Morriss, John C. Moorhouse

Faculty Scholarship

To find out what law-and-economics scholars and economists think lawyers should know about economics, we conducted surveys of random samples of members of the American Law and Economics Association and the American Economic Association. We posed two questions to both groups: What do you think are the five most important economic concepts law students ought to learn in a law-and-economics course?

Law-and-economics courses sometimes include economics articles in their reading lists. If you could choose up to five articles for such a course, what would they be?

Charting The Influences On The Judicial Mind: An Empirical Study Of Judicial Reasoning, Gregory C. Sisk, Michael Heise, Andrew P. Morriss

Faculty Scholarship

In 1988, hundreds of federal district judges were suddenly confronted with the need to render a decision on the constitutionality of the Sentencing Reform Act and the newly promulgated criminal Sentencing Guidelines. Never before has a question of such importance and involving such significant issues of constitutional law, mandated the immediate and simultaneous attention of such a large segment of the federal trial bench. Accordingly, this event provides an archetypal model for exploring the influence of social background, ideology, judicial role and institution, and other factors on judicial decisionmaking. Based upon a unique set of written decisions involving an identical …
