You Can't Always Get What You Want: Government's Good Intentions V. The First Amendment's Prescribed Freedoms In Protecting Children From Sexually-Explicit Material On The Internet, Abbigale E. Bricker Jan 2000

You Can't Always Get What You Want: Government's Good Intentions V. The First Amendment's Prescribed Freedoms In Protecting Children From Sexually-Explicit Material On The Internet, Abbigale E. Bricker

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Once a small and diverse community of a handful of government computers, the Internet has expanded to an estimated 157 million users worldwide. According to current studies, the fastest growing user populations on the Internet are thirteen to eighteen year-olds and five to twelve year-olds. In addition, the latest "research . . . predicts that the number of children online [will increase] by 155% between 1998 and 2002."

Dna Fingerprinting - Justifying The Special Need For The Fourth Amendment's Intrusion Into The Zone Of Privacy, Deborah F. Barfield Jan 2000

Dna Fingerprinting - Justifying The Special Need For The Fourth Amendment's Intrusion Into The Zone Of Privacy, Deborah F. Barfield

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

The Fourth Amendment prohibits the government from conducting unreasonable searches and seizures.When claims arise against the government's Fourth Amendment transgressions, usually those claims turn on interpretation of the term "reasonable." Traditionally, a search and seizure conducted under the authority of a judicial warrant for "probable cause" is unquestionably reasonable.In some, albeit very limited, types of searches reasonableness is met with at least "individualized suspicion."When searches intrude into the human body, however, they implicate a person's most deep-rooted expectation of privacy - the right to be left alone.

The Delivery Of Legal Services Through Multidisciplinary Practices, James M. Mccauley Jan 2000

The Delivery Of Legal Services Through Multidisciplinary Practices, James M. Mccauley

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

During the last decade, the "Big Six" accounting firms entered into the legal services market overseas by establishing, acquiring, or forming ties with law firms around the world. These entities or business relationships have been called "multidisciplinary practices" or MDPs. Unlike the United States, many European countries do not prohibit partnerships and fee splitting arrangements between lawyers and nonlawyers. The February 1998 issue of the American Bar Association Journal published an article entitled "Squeeze Play" describing a turf war between the major accounting firms and lawyers practicing law in Europe. KPMG Peat Marwick, Arthur Andersen, Ernst & Young, Price Waterhouse, …

Charter School Legislation In Virginia: How Race, Regional Tension, And The Absence Of Crisis Produced A "Weak" Law, Frederick M. Hess, Bradley C. Davis Jan 2000

Charter School Legislation In Virginia: How Race, Regional Tension, And The Absence Of Crisis Produced A "Weak" Law, Frederick M. Hess, Bradley C. Davis

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

The widespread success of charter school legislation has fostered a perception that charter schooling is apolitical and has clouded our understanding of the politics of the issue. In a case study of Virginia's charter school program, we suggest that three important political variables have been largely overlooked to date. The "weak" form of Virginia's charter school legislation can be attributed in large part to: (1) the schism between the educationally privileged communities of Northern Virginia and those of the rest of the state, (2) the lack of a perceived educational crisis, and (3) the vocal presence of minority opposition. Teacher …

An Inquiry Into Indigenous Political Participation: Implications For Tribal Sovereignty, David E. Wilkins Jan 2000

An Inquiry Into Indigenous Political Participation: Implications For Tribal Sovereignty, David E. Wilkins

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

When we set out to examine the various forms and patterns of indigenous political participation in the three polities they are connected to—tribal, state, and federal—we are stepping into a most complicated subject matter. It is complicated in large part because Indians are citizens of separate extra-constitutional nations whose members have only gradually been incorporated in various ways by various federal policies and day to day interactions with non-Indians. Tribal nations, of course, have never been constitutionally incorporated and still retain their standing as separate political bodies not beholden to either federal or state constitutions for their existence.

Investigation Of Pattern Classification And Feature Selection Of Gaussian Processes, Vivek Ramaprasad Jan 2000

Investigation Of Pattern Classification And Feature Selection Of Gaussian Processes, Vivek Ramaprasad

Masters Theses

"This thesis focuses on the application of statistical techniques for pattern classification where the patterns are power spectra of the recorded acoustic signals of occluded objects. Different approaches used to classify are : The Bayes linear and piece-wise linear classifiers, the correlation classifier, classification using error spectra and the clustering algorithm. Classifiers were designed and experiments were conducted to investigate the performance. The performance is evaluated in terms of the percentage efficiency by counting the number of vectors identified correctly and the number of vectors which were misclassified. The feature vectors from primitive measurement space is then reduced to lesser …

Training Training-Room Skills, Alan Waters, Maria Luz C. Vilches Jan 2000

Training Training-Room Skills, Alan Waters, Maria Luz C. Vilches

English Faculty Publications

A process-oriented approach to training teachers in ELT teaching methods is nowadays commonplace. To operate such an approach, the teacher trainer needs to be able to handle the skills involved in, inter alia, introducing a teacher training session, conducting awareness-raising, providing input, setting up, monitoring and rounding off small-group activities, feeding back on participants’ ideas and concluding the session. In other words, just as the ELT teacher needs to master a repertoire of classroom skills for handling ELT activities, so the teacher trainer needs to acquire a knowledge of the training-room skills involved in such teacher training procedures Both classroom …

The Wto, Looking Ahead, Mike Moore Jan 2000

The Wto, Looking Ahead, Mike Moore

In this Essay, I would like to focus simply on some key points which I believe are central to the WTO's present, and also to its future. This Essay begins by discussing the importance of the rule of law to the WTOs work. Part II talks about changes that have come with an expanding membership. Part III concludes with a review of recent events and an optimistic outlook for the WTO.

The Future Of The Wto And The Reform Of The Anti-Dumping Agreement: A Legal Perspective, Konstantinos Adamantopoulos, Diego De Notaris

Fordham International Law Journal

This short contribution aims at identifying certain provisions of the Agreement that might be considered for amendment, in light of the general principles that, in our view, should inspire the reform of the ADA. Part I below deals with such general principles; Part II sets out suggestions concerning the determination of the product scope in an anti-dumping investigation; Part III deals with Article 5 of the ADA (initiation of the investigation); Part IV is concerned with amendments to Article 2 ADA (dumping); Part V deals with Article 3 ADA (injury); Part VI concerns the reform of Article 11 ADA (reviews …

Judicial Lobbying At The Wto: The Debate Over The Use Of Amicus Curiae Briefs And The U.S. Experience, Padideh Ala'i Jan 2000

Judicial Lobbying At The Wto: The Debate Over The Use Of Amicus Curiae Briefs And The U.S. Experience, Padideh Ala'i

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay first reviews the controversy surrounding the issuance of procedures for amicus curiae submissions by the Appellate Body in E.C.—Asbestos. Second, it looks at the history and practice of amicus curiae briefs at the WTO. Third, the Essay looks at how in the United States an amicus curiae has changed from being a “friend of the court” to a “judicial lobbyist,” and specifically, focusing on the procedural approach taken by the U.S. Supreme Court in addressing the negative impact of such judicial lobbying. Finally, the Essay draws certain lessons from the U.S. experience and concludes that the Appellate Body …

Pax Mercatoria: Globalization As A Second Chance At "Peace For Our Time", Jim Chen Jan 2000

Pax Mercatoria: Globalization As A Second Chance At "Peace For Our Time", Jim Chen

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay completes a scholarly cycle in which I have defended free trade and international economic cooperation against charges that globalization will harm the environment and drain jobs from the high-wage economies of western Europe, Japan, and the United States. The demolition of geographic and social barriers since the end of the Cold War has delivered not only material wealth but also physical tranquility, political stability, and personal freedom to vast portions of the world's population. The path to peace lies today, as it did in 1938, not in a retreat to obsolete notions of local sovereignty, but in a …

The Elimination Of Export Subsidies And The Future Of Net-Food Importing Developing Countries In The Wto, Tashi Kaul Jan 2000

The Elimination Of Export Subsidies And The Future Of Net-Food Importing Developing Countries In The Wto, Tashi Kaul

Fordham International Law Journal

Before providing an overview of the current situation, Section I of this Essay examines past trends in the world agricultural trade in order to demonstrate how the share of the world's agricultural trade from developing and least-developed countries has stagnated compared to those of the industrialized countries. Section II discusses the factors which have led to this stagnation, including one of the most significant factors — the use of export subsidies, as exemplified by CAP. Section III analyzes the implications of eliminating such protectionism for NFIDCs, which form the main focus of this Essay. Section IV briefly addresses the implementation …

Protection Of Public Health And The Role Of The Precautionary Principle Under Wto Law: A Trojan Horse Before Geneva's Walls?, Dr. Hans-Joachim Priess, Dr. Christian Pitschas Jan 2000

Protection Of Public Health And The Role Of The Precautionary Principle Under Wto Law: A Trojan Horse Before Geneva's Walls?, Dr. Hans-Joachim Priess, Dr. Christian Pitschas

Fordham International Law Journal

This article discusses the different understandings of the meaning of the precautionary principle as a means to cope with public health risks. The article reviews the position of the Treaty Establishing the European Community (“EC”) on this principle to assess whether, and to what extent, the EC’s position conforms to the limits imposed by World Trade Organization (“WTO”) law. I will examine whether the precautionary principle, as interpreted by the EC, is reconcilable with the WTO agreements and forms part of WTO law. As it stands now, other WTO members are well advised to take a cautious stance on the …

International Trade As A Vector In Domestic Regulatory Reform: Discrimination, Cost-Benefit Analysis, And Negotiations, Joel P. Trachtman Jan 2000

International Trade As A Vector In Domestic Regulatory Reform: Discrimination, Cost-Benefit Analysis, And Negotiations, Joel P. Trachtman

Fordham International Law Journal

This brief Essay summarizes, updates, and integrates work I have done elsewhere in order to suggest, first, why cost-benefit analysis is not used in dispute settlement, second, how to evaluate substitute formulae that are available for use within dispute settlement, and finally, how dispute settlement and treaty-making relate to one another in this field. This Essay considers the role of international discipline by dispute resolution bodies, in comparison to multilateral treaty-making or other legislation. Treaty-making or other legislation may take the form of harmonization to one degree or another, or importantly, may take the form of agreed rules of prescriptive …

Homage To A Bull Moose: Applying Lessons Of History To Meet The Challenges Of Globalization, Theodore R. Posner, Timothy M. Reif Jan 2000

Homage To A Bull Moose: Applying Lessons Of History To Meet The Challenges Of Globalization, Theodore R. Posner, Timothy M. Reif

Fordham International Law Journal

It would appear that some critics' cure for the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) is to build it up, while for others, the cure is to tear it down, or at least to diminish its competence. This seeming contradiction makes it difficult to assess and respond to legitimate criticisms of the WTO. The purpose of this Essay is to address this apparent conundrum. In particular, we attempt to shed light on it by (1) describing the nature of the imbalance that exists in the world trading system today (Part I); (2) offering an historical and legal framework for understanding the seemingly …

Trade Liberalization And Dangerous Political Games, Jorge B. Riaboi Jan 2000

Trade Liberalization And Dangerous Political Games, Jorge B. Riaboi

Fordham International Law Journal

I will start this Essay by saying that it is fundamentally misleading to assume that the disagreement over the shape and content of the agenda for the World Trade Organization's (“WTO”) negotiations that broke-up the Seattle's Conference is either the only or the real stumbling block to maintain the pace of trade liberalization. It also is misleading to assume that the present business as usual look that has prevailed since February 2000 in Geneva, means that the substantive problems are over and that everything is just fine. In my view, we face other kinds of conflicts. The first is the …

Adjudicating Disappearance Cases In Turkey: An Argument For Adopting The Inter-American Court Of Human Rights' Approach, Irum Taqi

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note examines the different approaches of the European and Inter-American Courts in assessing state liability for a violation of the right to life in disappearance cases. Part I discusses the phenomenon of disappearances. It also provides background on the European and Inter-American systems of human rights as well as on the concept of the right to life in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("European Convention") and in the American Conventions on Human Rights ("American Convention"). Finally, Part I examines the Inter-American Court's approach to assessing state responsibility for disappearances in the Velasquez Rodriguez …
