Gagged But Not Bound: The Ineffectiveness Of The Rules Governing Judicial Campaign Speech, Max J. Minzner

Faculty Scholarship

This article argues that while the text and the history of the gag rule would seem to indicate that implied commitments are prohibited, candidates have a wide variety of methods available to signal voters how they might decide cases if they reach the bench. Courts have failed to recognize the importance of limiting speech other than traditional policy promises due to a failure to adequately consider the most important motivating factor behind the gag rule: providing litigants impartial adjudication. Because courts have not made this the primary consideration in the gag rule cases, speech occurs in campaigns that would otherwise …

A Comparative Analysis Of Women's Issues: Toward A Contextualized Approach, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez

Faculty Scholarship

"This Article proposes a methodology for comparative analysis of women's rights using insights from critical race theory and feminism. Comparative analysis by a Western scholar must reconcile a perspective developed in the United States with respect for another culture. In discussing women's rights, lawyers, judges, students and sociologists have justified certain women's situations as an inherent aspect of culture. For example, traditional "female genital surgery" has been defended as a "mere bodily mutilation" that is the "sine qua non of the whole teaching of tribal law, religion, and morality." In Mexico, "machismo" has been justified as an immutable characteristic of …

Translating Legal Terms In Context, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez

Faculty Scholarship

This article reviews a number of Spanish/English legal dictionaries, evaluating the relative merits and features of each. Translating legal terms requires an understanding of both the legal context in which the term is used and the legal context in which the translation is intended. Thus, this review of legal dictionaries concentrates on evaluating the authors'/editors' understanding of how the terms are used in the two legal cultures, as well as in two different languages.

Dramaturgical Perspective In Modern Police Work : An Analysis Of Interviews And Observations, Michael P. Wagner

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Using a qualitative approach, I analyze data collected from two small Midwestern police departments. I gathered this data through a combination of methods: ethnographic interviewing, participant observation, and content analysis of police artifacts and documents. Most of the data derive from (1) my ethnographic interviews of 17 police officers and (2) my observations of officers during 16 "ride-along."

My analyses are guided by Goffman's (1959) dramaturgical analysis of face-to-face interaction, Manning's (1971; 1977) dramaturgical approach to policing, and Hunt and Manning's (1991) dramaturgical studies of police lying and the use of normal force (see also Hunt 1985). I rely most …

Serving Grief: Catholic Women And The Funeral Dinner, Valerie Ann Jones

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this ethnographic study was to learn what the activity involved in a Roman Catholic funeral dinner meant to the women who prepared and served it. This study examined the intersection between women's socialization, voluntarism, and religion in order to develop an understanding of the women's motivations as well as to clarify how they see their work and their role in this work. In this study I summarized the interviews with 10 women and participated in two funeral dinners. I also actively participated in the Church's women's group during and after my field research. The observations together with …
