A Theory Of Customary International Law, Eric A. Posner, Jack L. Goldsmith Jan 1999

A Theory Of Customary International Law, Eric A. Posner, Jack L. Goldsmith

Articles

This Article presents a theory of customary international law ("CIL") that seeks to resolve the many well-known difficulties with standard accounts of CIL. The theory uses simple game theoretical concepts to explain how CIL arises, why nations "comply" with CIL as commonly understood, and how CIL changes. This theory rejects the usual explanations of CIL based on opinio juris, legality, morality, and related concepts. States do not comply with norms of CIL because of a sense of moral or legal obligation; rather, their compliance and the norms themselves emerge from the states' pursuit of self-interested policies on the international stage. …

The Most Aggravated And Least Mitigated Murders: Capital Proportionality Review In Florida, Ken Driggs Jan 1999

The Most Aggravated And Least Mitigated Murders: Capital Proportionality Review In Florida, Ken Driggs

St. Thomas Law Review

In this article I will briefly discuss the evolution of death penalty law after Furman v. Georgia, including the three statutory models that nearly every death penalty state has adopted. Part of this evolution was the development of proportionality review. I will then discuss Florida's "weighing" statute and how proportionality fits into that. Then I will discuss the specifics of the Florida Supreme Court's approach to proportionality review in death penalty direct appeals. I will elaborate on how the Supreme Court has considered commonly encountered, broad factual situations in death sentences. I will briefly discuss a recent amendment to Article …

Juvenile Curfew Challenges In The Federal Courts: A Constitutional Conundrum Over The (Less Than) Fundamental Rights Of Minors', Charles W. Gerdes Jan 1999

Juvenile Curfew Challenges In The Federal Courts: A Constitutional Conundrum Over The (Less Than) Fundamental Rights Of Minors', Charles W. Gerdes

St. Thomas Law Review

The purpose of this Comment is to examine the inconsistency of analytical methodology that has been employed in the federal courts to determine whether the fundamental rights of minors are coextensive with those of adults in a given regulatory scheme. Specifically, the Comment focuses on this analysis in the context of juvenile curfew ordinance challenges. Further, the Comment proposes a substantive analytical methodology that implements the instruction of Supreme Court precedent in the realm of minors' constitutional rights. To achieve this purpose, the Comment necessarily investigates Supreme Court decisions analyzing the coextensive nature of a minor's fundamental rights. In some …

Missing Pieces Of Memory: A Rejection Of Type Classifications And A Demand For A More Subjective Approach Regarding Adult Survivors Of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Lonnie B. Richardson Jan 1999

Missing Pieces Of Memory: A Rejection Of Type Classifications And A Demand For A More Subjective Approach Regarding Adult Survivors Of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Lonnie B. Richardson

St. Thomas Law Review

Part I of this Comment will address Freud's discovery of the effects of childhood sexual abuse. Freud's subsequent suppression of his discovery has led in part to the contemporary disbelief in the existence of childhood sexual abuse. Part II will focus on the psychological aspects of incest, exploring the impact of trauma on children and the resulting repression of the traumatic memories. Part III will review the policy considerations and recent developments involving the statute of limitations in delayed discovery of childhood sexual abuse cases. This part addresses the need to permit plaintiffs to sue for latent harm that went …

Incompetence In The Brain Injured Individual, D. Michael Bitz, Jean S. Bitz Jan 1999

Incompetence In The Brain Injured Individual, D. Michael Bitz, Jean S. Bitz

St. Thomas Law Review

We will initially address the historic acceptance of scientific propositions by the law as they relate to sanity. Insanity is one of the earliest forms of incompetence addressed by the criminal justice system. The current treatment of the courts with respect to head injuries will be presented. Following, there will be an explanation of the philosophical demand for an independent mens rea to sanction punishment. This will be tied to the relationship between head injuries and crime. Specifically, how a form of injury directly affects an individual's ability to make competent decisions while appearing outwardly normal. The legal implications of …

“Indians,” “Braves,” And “Redskins”: A Performative Struggle For Control Of An Image, Jackson B. Miller

Faculty Publications

Native American groups across the country have been protesting the use of their symbols and heritage in sports arenas for over a decade. Yet, particularly in the realm of professional sports, these protests have not generated significant changes in attitudes and practices. This critical essay examines several Native American protest events to reveal the factors contributing to the failure of the reform movement and to suggest some strategies for rhetorically reformulating the campaign.

Students Versus The Research Paper: What Can We Learn?, Barbara Valentine

Faculty & Staff Publications

If we are to develop library services that meet the expectations of our patrons in this changing technological environment, we must first understand how they currently interact with our information services and systems. This paper presents preliminary results from a qualitative study that elicits perspectives of undergraduates engaged in writing research papers. Because this study has been in progress since the early nineties, results also reflect ways in which technological advances such as the Internet may have altered strategies. Findings highlight some commonly used information gathering strategies, issues which impact motivation and use of time, and sources of help students …

Effects Of Psychological And Physiological Stressors On Interleukin-1ss Levels And Behavioral Measures In Mice, Ann Marie Knapp

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

The effects of stress on immune system functioning is an important area of current and upcoming research. In order to determine the importance of stressor type on immune dysfunction, the effects of psychological and physiological stress on immune systems in mice were monitored through both molecular and behavioral means. Groups of mice were systematically exposed to non-contact exposure to a rat in order to induce psychological stress, and forced periods of swimming to induce physiological stress. The stress exposure was applied every other day for 30 days to create a chronic stress situation. Stress levels imposed by the stressors were …

Intergenerational Effects Of Conflict In Intimate Relationships, Rebecca Lee Matlock Jan 1999

Intergenerational Effects Of Conflict In Intimate Relationships, Rebecca Lee Matlock

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

A survey was used to assess the effects of parental marital status and conflict on the intimate dating relationships of 154 undergraduate volunteers from two private Catholic institutions. Seventy-three percent of the participants were female, 13% were from divorced families, and most participants ranged from 19 to 24 years of age. The effects of parental divorce and conflict were found to be both beneficial and harmful to the adjustment of offspring and development of intimate relationships. Parental divorce, conflict, and low levels of family functioning were associated with increased involvement in steady dating relationships and more self-reported happiness within current …

A Post-Hoc Analysis Of The Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal: Application Of Psychological Theories Of Attitude To Elucidate The Responses Of The Public, Media, And Political Parties, Sara Ann Rademacher

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

Various social psychological theories of attitude, persuasion and cognition are applied to provide post hoc explanations of the attitudes held by various participants such as the media, the public, and both political parties towards Clinton's alleged inappropriate/ illegal actions with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Specifically, the opinions of each group are monitored and analyzed according to Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance, the Elaboration-Likelihood Model, William Perry's theory of cognitive development, Don Byrne's theory of attitude and attraction, and Irving Janis's theory of the effects of fear arousal on attitude change.

An Examination Of Communication Competencies For Telephone And Internet Customer Service Representatives, Julie M. Powers

Education Masters

The level of service that organizations are providing to their customers is critical to customer loyalty and customer retention. Providing quality customer service should be an organization's top priority. If organizations do not pay attention to the quality of service they are providing to their customers, they may run the risk of being put out of business. To provide quality customer service, an organization must consider the needs of its employees must be addressed internally in order to project a positive image externally.

Quality Assurance In Higher Education In Developing Countries, David Lim Jan 1999

Quality Assurance In Higher Education In Developing Countries, David Lim

Support & Other Units (THEi)

In recent years universities in developing countries have followed their counterparts in developed countries in adopting quality assurance to improve the quality of their teaching, research and direct community service programmes. While many of the conditions required for the successful implementation of quality assurance programmes are not present in most universities in developing countries, their adoption will still be useful. Such programmes show how a university's seemingly disparate activities are related to one another to serve a common cause and how the quality of these can best be improved by adopting an integrated approach. In the process, they provide more …
