Mission Impossible: On Baker, Equal Benefits, And The Imposition Of Stigma, Mark Strasser Dec 2000

Mission Impossible: On Baker, Equal Benefits, And The Imposition Of Stigma, Mark Strasser

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

In Baker v. State, the Vermont Supreme Court held that the state constitution required same-sex couples be afforded the same benefits and protections that married couples receive. While the state did not need to recognize same-sex marriage, at the very least, it needed to create a parallel system providing equal benefits. Professor Mark Strasser argues that a civil union alternative ultimately would not meet the court's requirements because it cannot possibly provide this requisite equality. His central concern is the differing treatment that same-sex marriage and domestic partnerships receive from other states. Additionally, Professor Strasser notes that such a system …

Syllable Structure Development Of Toddlers With Expressive Specific Language Impairment, Aimée Baird Pharr, Nan Bernstein Ratner, Leslie Rescorla Dec 2000

Syllable Structure Development Of Toddlers With Expressive Specific Language Impairment, Aimée Baird Pharr, Nan Bernstein Ratner, Leslie Rescorla

Psychology Faculty Research and Scholarship

A total of 35 children - 20 with expressive specific language impairment (SLI-E) and 15 typically developing (TD) peers - were compared longitudinally from 24 to 36 months with respect to their production of syllable shapes in 10-minute spontaneous speech samples. SLI-E 24-month-olds predominantly produced earlier developing syllable shapes containing vowels, liquids, and glides. TD 24-month-olds and SLI-E 36-month-olds produced approximately the same proportion of syllable types, with the exception of consonant clusters, where TD 24 month-olds produced more than SLI-E 36-month-olds. TD children at 36 months showed the greatest use of syllable shapes containing two different consonants and consonant …


The Rule Of Law And Commercial Litigation In Myanmar, Alec Christie Dec 2000

The Rule Of Law And Commercial Litigation In Myanmar, Alec Christie

Washington International Law Journal

After nearly thirty years of self imposed isolation, Myanmar has reemerged as a significant potential destination for foreign investment. One of the key attractions of Myanmar as a destination for foreign investment is its legal system and historical commitment to the rule of law. With ASEAN membership and increasing levels of foreign investment in Myanmar, use of its legal system by foreign investors and their counsel has grown. The aim of this article is to outline, for both investors and legal professionals in other countries throughout the region, Myanmar's legal system and its practical operation in the area of commercial …

Korean Attitues Towards Law, Chan Jin Kim Dec 2000

Korean Attitues Towards Law, Chan Jin Kim

Washington International Law Journal

Transformation is the key word to explain the Korean attitudes towards law. In the early 1950's, nation building gave impetus to economic growth and allowed Korea to quickly pass through the preliminary stages of development. Industrialization, urbanization and eventual emigration of the populace have, in many senses, displaced the traditional social value system based on Confucianism. However, a new value system has yet to take hold. The lack of such guidelines has left Koreans in a state of confusion in a world that continues to change. The Korean Constitution clearly mandates equal protection under the laws for all Koreans. However, …


Law On Communications Interception During Criminal Investigations, Yohei Suda Dec 2000

Law On Communications Interception During Criminal Investigations, Yohei Suda

Washington International Law Journal

Whereas organized crime severely damages the peace and health of society, and increasingly it is extremely difficult to clarify the truth in criminal investigations without intercepting the telephone communications or other telecommunications of criminals in serious crimes committed by conspiracy, such as organized murder and unlawful trade of drugs or firearms, the purpose of this law is to set forth the requirements, procedures, and other matters that are relevant to the invasive action of intercepting telecommunications, as provided in the Code of Criminal Procedure (Law No. 131, 1948), and are essential for dealing appropriately with such crimes, in such a …

The Indian Software Industry: What Makes For Commitment, Abhoy K Ojha Dec 2000

The Indian Software Industry: What Makes For Commitment, Abhoy K Ojha

IIMB Management Review

The impact of the demographic characteristics of people on their work attitudes and organisational behaviour has been of interest to organisational theorists for a long time. While some studies have examined the impact of demographic characteristics on attitudes and behaviour, others have investigated the impact of the composition of these demographic characteristics on individual attitudes and behaviour, and organisational outcomes. Against the background of these studies, a study was conducted to examine the impact of demographic characteristics of software professionals on their organisational commitment


Reinventing Indian Hospitality, S Seshadri Dec 2000

Reinventing Indian Hospitality, S Seshadri

IIMB Management Review

The hotel industry is hopefully just emerging from a threeyear period of recession. The heyday of the industry was in the years immediately following the opening up of the economy, from 1993-94 onwards. However, we had a couple of unfortunate events at that time, Babri Masjid and then the plague scare. Despite the economic environment turning positive, these other elements are very good examples of the ‘non economic factors’ that can have a serious impact on the hotel industry. So it was really in 94-97 that the industry reached its peak. Foreign investors came in significantly large numbers compared to …


Stress And Job Performance: Theory, Research, And Implications For Managerial Practice By Steve M Jex, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1998., Prabha Srinivas Dec 2000

Stress And Job Performance: Theory, Research, And Implications For Managerial Practice By Steve M Jex, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1998., Prabha Srinivas

IIMB Management Review

This book is a comprehensive study of stress and the effect it has on work life. The style of presentation is simple and therefore even a person not familiar with stress and its related theories can follow the text easily. The topic is extremely relevant and important in the context of the current style of living. Competitiveness in the work place has reached an all time high and has left its mark. To managers, this book offers suggestions on how to recognise stress inducing factors and deal with them. But, as Jex himself says, the study of occupational stress is …


A Scientist’S Tools For Business: Metaphors And Modes Of Thought By Robert L Sproull, London: Universities Press, 1999., Swaminathan Subramaniam Dec 2000

A Scientist’S Tools For Business: Metaphors And Modes Of Thought By Robert L Sproull, London: Universities Press, 1999., Swaminathan Subramaniam

IIMB Management Review

The purpose of this book as stated on the back cover is to ‘illustrate and explain the connection between everyday business problems and the tools and modes of thought of the scientist’. While enough has been written about how business principles can (and must) be applied for successful commercial R&D, there is very little written about how an understanding of common scientific principles can help business-persons.


The Quality Movement And Organisation Theory By Robert E Cole And W. Richard Scott, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., Vijay G Vancheswar Dec 2000

The Quality Movement And Organisation Theory By Robert E Cole And W. Richard Scott, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., Vijay G Vancheswar

IIMB Management Review

The Quality Movement and Organisation Theory is different from most books on quality on two main counts. Firstly, it successfully addresses the issues of organisational change and emerging management practices, and their impact on Total Quality Management (TQM). Secondly, the concepts and findings detailed in the book combine the strengths of academic research studies on TQM and the vast experience of executives from leading organisations. Though focused primarily on the practices of TQM in the US, the book is exhaustive in its treatment of the subject. Starting with a lucid introduction to the quality movement and its linkages with issues …


Propaganda And Persuasion By Garth S Jowett And Victoria O’Donnell, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., M A Venkataramana Dec 2000

Propaganda And Persuasion By Garth S Jowett And Victoria O’Donnell, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., M A Venkataramana

IIMB Management Review

Propaganda and Persuasion promises to be of interest to anyone who has encountered propaganda of some kind and who would like to know more about the ways in which it could shape the social setting around us. The promise, after all, comes from authors who have been studying communication in depth for over a decade. (Jowett is Professor of Communication at the University of Houston, and Joint Advisory Editor of the Cambridge History of Mass Communication; O’Donnell is Professor of Communication at Montana State University, Bozeman. Both have published widely and are sought-after consultants.)


Yield Management In The Airline Industry, B Venkateshwara Rao Dec 2000

Yield Management In The Airline Industry, B Venkateshwara Rao

IIMB Management Review

The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 changed the competitive landscape for air travel. The CAB allowed low-cost (nonunionised and no-frill chartered service) carriers to compete in the scheduled air travel markets. Scheduled air carriers were at a disadvantage due to their high-cost structure. For example, during the winter of 1976, passengers could travel from New York to Florida on a charter for as little as $99. This fare was less than the average cost for a scheduled carrier to fly that market.


Preventing Workplace Violence By Mark Braverman, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., T Ananthachari Dec 2000

Preventing Workplace Violence By Mark Braverman, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., T Ananthachari

IIMB Management Review

The workplace is in many ways the meeting ground for the employer and the employees. It can lead to mutual understanding, trust and a lasting fruitful collaboration to achieve the objectives of the company. On the other hand, it can result in confrontation with all the consequent negative outcomes to follow. It is obvious that one of the basic policies of every organisation should be to forge maximum possible understanding between the two. Even a minor incident, misunderstanding or communication gap between the managerial hierarchy and the individual employee can spark off a situation which could ultimately vitiate the atmosphere …


Product-Mix Optimiser For An Integrated Steel Plant, Goutam Dutta, Gopal P Singh, P N Roy Dec 2000

Product-Mix Optimiser For An Integrated Steel Plant, Goutam Dutta, Gopal P Singh, P N Roy

IIMB Management Review

Optimal utilisation of constrained resources is one of the most important problems in the area of operations management. The determination of optimal productmix is an extremely difficult task for an organisation producing multiple products in multiple stages, sharing a set of common plant resources and experiencing a fluctuating market over time. In the absence of a quick method to determine optimality under changing conditions, plant managers have to make decisions based on their experience and intuition.

The Uses Of Aristotle In Garamer's Recovery Of Consultative Reasoning: Sunesis, Sungnômê, Epieikeia, And Sumbouleuesthai, P. Christopher Smith Dec 2000

The Uses Of Aristotle In Garamer's Recovery Of Consultative Reasoning: Sunesis, Sungnômê, Epieikeia, And Sumbouleuesthai, P. Christopher Smith

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Using Hans-Georg Gadamer's exposition of Aristotle's adjuncts to phronêsis, or the knowing that guides deliberation, namely understanding, forbearance, and clemency, this Article attempts to retrieve a communal reasoning still evident in Homer but increasingly covered over beginning with Plato and continuing through Hobbes and Locke, in the English-language tradition, and, more recently, Rawls and Toulmin. This Article shows that, in Gadamer's reading of him, Aristotle emerges as a crucial interruption of this tendency of Western thought to abstract from the communal origins of reasoning and to start instead from what an isolated individual sees for himself or herself and …


Amatory Jurisprudence And The Querelle Des Lois, Peter Goodrich Dec 2000

Amatory Jurisprudence And The Querelle Des Lois, Peter Goodrich

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Early common law, both Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman, offered plaintiffs a choice between love and law. Lovedays were more frequent than lawdays, and love explicitly took precedence over formal law. The judgment of love took the form of agreement through amity rather than enmity, affect rather than agon or trial. Using the institution of lovedays as a starting point, Goodrich's Article goes on to trace a longer-term continental history of courts and judgments of love that spans over five centuries and plays out in poetry, theater, and literature as much as in any secular legal institution. Offering a synopsis of the …


Interpretation, Critique, And Adjudication: The Search For Constitutional Hermeneutics, John T. Valauri Dec 2000

Interpretation, Critique, And Adjudication: The Search For Constitutional Hermeneutics, John T. Valauri

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article seeks a model for a constitutional hermeneutics in an examination of two key debates in philosophical hermeneutics—the Gadamer-Betti debate over the role of author's meaning in interpretation and the Gadamer-Habermas debate over transcendence and critique. It compares these to the framers' intent and nonoriginalism disputes in constitutional theory. But the result is not another method of constitutional interpretation. Rather it is a hermeneutically informed way of viewing the practice of constitutional adjudication itself.


Work-In-Progress: Gadamer, Tradition, And The Common Law, Allan C. Hutchinson Dec 2000

Work-In-Progress: Gadamer, Tradition, And The Common Law, Allan C. Hutchinson

Chicago-Kent Law Review

In this Article, Hutchinson provides an account of the common law tradition of judging that draws upon Hans-Georg Gadamer's writings that advance the intellectual project of critical legal theory. Hutchinson contends that Gadamer's hermeneutics can be utilized to offer a more radical and transformative reading of the common law tradition and explores what it means to treat law seriously as a living rhetorical tradition. This Article explores Hutchinson's theory by concentrating on the recent U.S. Supreme Court physician-assisted suicide decision in Washington v. Glucksberg. This Article relies upon the notion of "work-in-progress" as a productive optic through which to …


Are There Nothing But Texts In This Class? Interpreting The Interpretive Turns In Legal Thought, Robin L. West Dec 2000

Are There Nothing But Texts In This Class? Interpreting The Interpretive Turns In Legal Thought, Robin L. West

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article examines the impact of the twenty-year-old "turn" toward interpretation in legal and constitutional scholarship. In part, because of the impact of Hans-Georg Gadamer's work, scores of critical legal scholars, including some of those writing for this Symposium, now think of adjudication and legal discourse generally as primarily interpretive, rather than economic or political or distinctively legal enterprises. This turn toward interpretation has opened the way for new insights and ways of thinking, but it has also come with costs. It has, for example, diverted attention from the ways in which constitutional law might be appropriately criticized by reference …


Melting Into Air? Downsizing, Job Stability, And The Future Of Work, Sanford M. Jacoby Dec 2000

Melting Into Air? Downsizing, Job Stability, And The Future Of Work, Sanford M. Jacoby

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Contrary to popular belief, career-type employment practices remain the norm in the U.S. labor market, and employers continue to shoulder risks for employees. Evidence to support this claim is drawn from a variety of sources: data on tenure and mobility; analysis of new job creation and job quality; recent employer responses to labor-market tightness; and data on wage premiums, fringe benefits, and training. Yet employees are bearing more risk today, including risk of job loss and of compensation fluctuations. This is an important change from the past. Nevertheless, there are limits—economic, demographic, and political—to the risk-shifting process.

The Quest To Reprogram Cultural Software: A Hermeneutical Response To Jack Balkin's Theory Of Ideology And Critique, Francis J. Mootz Iii Dec 2000

The Quest To Reprogram Cultural Software: A Hermeneutical Response To Jack Balkin's Theory Of Ideology And Critique, Francis J. Mootz Iii

Chicago-Kent Law Review

In his recent book, Cultural Software, Jack Balkin offers a new approach to ideology and critical theory in an effort to overcome the deficiencies he finds in Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutical account. This Article demonstrates that the productive aspects of Balkin's theory are central to Gadamer's philosophy, and the unproductive elements in Balkin's theory are best explained by his deviation from Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics. Mootz rejects Balkin's transcendental argument in favor of Gadamer's insistence that critique is a feature of hermeneutical experience and that critical theory is the practice of maximizing the critical distance that occurs only within hermeneutical engagements. …


Traces Of Violence: Gadamer, Habermas, And The Hate Speech Problem, R. George Wright Dec 2000

Traces Of Violence: Gadamer, Habermas, And The Hate Speech Problem, R. George Wright

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article offers fresh insight into the controversial issue of hate speech regulation by borrowing major themes from the works of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Jürgen Habermas. Wright emphasizes Gadamer's connection between language and historical traditions to demonstrate how hate speech differs from any real attempt at genuine speaking. Wright then focuses on Habermas's notion of a communicative ideal that helps differentiate between speakers who intend to invite open discourse and typical epithet speakers who likely have no such purpose. Wright concludes that the contributions of Gadamer and Habermas enable us to determine what types of speech promote the values underlying …
