Can A Good Lawyer Be A Bad Person?, Stephen Gillers Jan 1999

Can A Good Lawyer Be A Bad Person?, Stephen Gillers

Faculty Articles

Assume a just legal system in a constitutional democracy. Imagine a person wishing to achieve a lawful goal. Imagine a lawyer who agrees to assist her. If the lawyer uses only legal means consonant with the jurisdiction's legal ethics rules, can a coherent theory of moral philosophy nevertheless label the lawyer's conduct immoral? Can a good lawyer be a bad person?'

Departmental Excellence: Constituencies In Tension, Ronald C. Arnett, Janie M. Harden Fritz Jan 1999

Departmental Excellence: Constituencies In Tension, Ronald C. Arnett, Janie M. Harden Fritz

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the question of departmental excellence within historicity and temporality and the political demands of multiple constituencies. If one accepts excellence as a rhetorical construct of political significance for a college campus, then one requires knowledge of the primary constituencies shaping this political debate. The eventual political outcome is shaped through the interplay of three constituencies: the discipline, the local campus and the larger public. The task for every department that wants to pursue excellence is to know, understand and operate within the hidden curriculum of a campus that socializes faculty to the ongoing mission of that particular …

Employer Expectations Of Newly-Hired Communication Graduates, D. F. Treadwell, Jill B. Treadwell Jan 1999

Employer Expectations Of Newly-Hired Communication Graduates, D. F. Treadwell, Jill B. Treadwell

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines employers' expectations and perceptions of communication new hires at three points in the school-to-work transition, the initial job application, and the beginning and the end of the first year. This study focuses on writing and related conceptual abilities because for most communication new hires they are the foundation of both a successful job application, and therefore employers' first impressions, and of subsequent performance evaluations and progress. In conclusion, broad generalizations about the communication abilities of communication new hires may be unwarranted because performance expectations and the level and types of assessment vary with the type of position, …

Protecting Communication Departments: Reflections On The Nebraska Experience, Lee Ronald, William Seiler Jan 1999

Protecting Communication Departments: Reflections On The Nebraska Experience, Lee Ronald, William Seiler

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article reflects on the vulnerabilities and strengths of communication departments at the University of Nebraska. The relatively small size of communication departments makes them especially vulnerable to administrative budget cutters. For a complex set of reasons, particular disciplines have become defining elements of universities in the U.S. Unfortunately, communication departments have not achieved such status. The professional organizations need to do more than offer the occasional workshop, they ought to make a concerted effort to help communications departments maximize the discipline's opportunity and make the field of communication valuable to students and become ever more essential to the university.

From Paper To Praxis: Advancing The Discipline In A Small College Environment, Alfred G. Mueller Ii, Delmas S. Crisp Jr. Jan 1999

From Paper To Praxis: Advancing The Discipline In A Small College Environment, Alfred G. Mueller Ii, Delmas S. Crisp Jr.

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article proposes the advancement of communications discipline at a small college in Georgia. In the small liberal arts college, one tends to find many faculty members who have had little or no experience with departments of communication. It is also plausible that some approaches to the study of communication may be deemed unsuitable in a small liberal arts setting. To meet the demands of the millennial technological environment, the dean of the college decided to reexamine the communication major in terms of its scope and function on campus. The proposals for the advancement of the discipline are discussed herein.

Africa And Her Charter On Human And Peoples' Rights -Notyet "Ominira", Thomas Adeoye Olugbemiga Fawole

LLM Theses and Essays

It is in the light of the foregoing that we intend in this thesis to examine the state of human rights in Africa. It would be the province of the thesis to find out how far the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights has enhanced the independence of the various African countries and improved on the quality of the rights enjoyed by the citizenry. While Chapter 2 deals with human rights in precolonial Africa, human rights in "modern day" Africa, i.e. from the colonial era, are dealt with in Chapter 5. Treating human rights under colonial rule and human …

The First Amendment balancing test that is applicable to adult entertainment ordinances is discussed in Chapter One.

Is The Trips Agreement An Adequate Means To Deal With Unauthorized Copying Of Sound Recordings From The Internet?, Hege Sehested Zakariassen

LLM Theses and Essays

The Internet has expanded vastly in recent years, both in use and utility. It has become one of the most important means of distributors of information in our time. This increasing popularity has also led to "online fraud, theft, piracy, and infringement. The music industry is one of the branches that will experience upheaval in the next few years. The Internet might even change the way music is distributed. Experts believe that the Internet could alter the way music is distributed and undermine the physical distribution of sound recordings. Yet, on the other hand, the Internet could help unknown bands …

Notions Of Equity In (International) Environmental Law: Inter-Generational Equity, Youk-Hyun Sung Jan 1999

Notions Of Equity In (International) Environmental Law: Inter-Generational Equity, Youk-Hyun Sung

LLM Theses and Essays

Equity has a long history. In the first chapter of this thesis, notions of equity in conventional international law will be discussed. It must be more helpful to understand equity based upon the history of the term since the issues relating to equity were raised in quite a few cases in the past. In the second chapter, by discussing environmental equity in the United States, the only remaining superpower and the largest economy in the world, the thesis tries to see the future of equity in international environmental law. Environmental equity issues in the United States are good sources for …

Breast cancer accounts for 30% of all new cancer cases in women, is the leading cancer site among American women, and is the leading cause of death for women ages 35- 54. According to the 1996 Annual Report published by the Cancer Program of the Saint Joseph Health System of Humboldt County, breast cancer was the top site of cancer for all patients diagnosed and/or treated in their hospitals. Social support and its effect on cancer patients’ adjustment to diagnosis, treatment, and long-term survival has been studied extensively and such support has been found to be associated with positive outcomes. …
