Race, Reason And Representation, Tayyab Mahmud Jan 2000

Race, Reason And Representation, Tayyab Mahmud

Faculty Articles

This is a review essay based on Uday Singh Mehta, Liberalism and Empire: A study in Nineteenth-Century British Liberal Thought (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press 1999). It evaluates the entanglement of liberalism with colonialism to highlight many fundamental contradictions inherent in projects of modernity and the way universal claims are often bound by particularistic imperatives. Liberalism could reconcile its agenda of liberty and representation with colonial subjugation only by positing race as the grounds for eligibility to rights. With the project of neo-liberal restructuring of the world underway, it is useful to recall the disjunction between the theory and …

Foreword: The Many Passions Of Teaching Corporations, Charles O'Kelley Jan 2000

Foreword: The Many Passions Of Teaching Corporations, Charles O'Kelley

Faculty Articles

Teachers of Corporations share a passion for their subject and consider this first course in the business law curriculum to have fundamental importance for all law-trained professionals. Seemingly, however, we agree on little else, including the substantive focus of the course, the nature of the course materials, and the insights that teachers should convey. In fact, Corporations differs dramatically from school to school. Some teachers focus substantial attention on unincorporated business associations, while others cover only corporation law. Some who teach exclusively about the corporation emphasize closely held firms, while others highlight the law related to publicly traded entities. Likewise, …

Variable Justice: Environmental Standards, Contaminated Fish, And "Acceptable” Risk To Native Peoples, Catherine O'Neill Jan 2000

Variable Justice: Environmental Standards, Contaminated Fish, And "Acceptable” Risk To Native Peoples, Catherine O'Neill

Faculty Articles

This article begins with the observation that “[f]ish, especially salmon, are necessary for the survival of the Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest, both as individuals and as a people.” It considers conventional approaches to regulating contamination of the waters that support the fish on which these peoples depend, and finds that the narrow focus on human physical health fails fully to comprehend the multiple dimensions of the harm to these fishing peoples. Importantly, this focus fails to appreciate the cultural dimensions of the harm. The article examines health and environmental agencies’ standard-setting practices and challenges their failure to account …

The Importance Of Being Biased, Anthony M. Dillof Jan 2000

The Importance Of Being Biased, Anthony M. Dillof

Michigan Law Review

The war against bias crimes is far from finished. In contrast, the battle over bias-crime laws is largely over. Bias-crime laws, as commonly formulated, increase the penalties for crimes motivated by bias. The Supreme Court has held that such laws do not violate the First Amendment. Virtually every state has enacted some sort of biascrime law. Even the federal government, which may consider itself without power to enact a general bias-crime law, has made bias a sentence-aggravating factor for the range of federal criminal offenses. Bias-crime laws thus are an established feature of the legal landscape. Against this background, Frederick …

Looking At Marriage, Naomi Cahn Jan 2000

Looking At Marriage, Naomi Cahn

Michigan Law Review

In a recent book (not the subject of this Review), highly successful and popular authors John Gottman and Nan Silver set out their seven effective principles for making a marriage last. The final suggestion is that spouses should "create shared meaning, an inner life together that is rich with symbols and family rituals and that honors the hopes of both partners." In a happy marriage, the couples not only provide support for each other, but also "build a sense of purpose into their lives together." Professor Gottman has developed these principles as a result of twenty years of research and …

The Negotiation Of Executive Agreements For Environmental Remediation: Is The Interest-Based Method A Workable Model?, Darla Wynon Kite-Jackson Jan 2000

The Negotiation Of Executive Agreements For Environmental Remediation: Is The Interest-Based Method A Workable Model?, Darla Wynon Kite-Jackson

LLM Theses and Essays

Much of the recent literature on negotiation has concerned environmental negotiations. The environmental negotiations literature often discusses the negotiation of domestic environmental issues or the negotiation of multilateral/global environmental conventions. However, the literature on bilateral negotiations dealing with environmental issues, especially as it is related to mutual defense arrangements is scarcer. This thesis deals with this latter type of negotiations. This thesis explores whether interest-based negotiation techniques can be effectively used in resolving the environmental issues that are associated with base closures. It will do so by first describing and responding to some of the criticisms of the fundamental concepts …

"Pass Through" And Advertising Wark^Nties In The Current And In The Proposed Revision Of Ucc Article 2, Nazmi Orkun Akseli Jan 2000

"Pass Through" And Advertising Wark^Nties In The Current And In The Proposed Revision Of Ucc Article 2, Nazmi Orkun Akseli

LLM Theses and Essays

It has recently become common to refer to warranties that accompany the goods as "pass-through" warranties. They accompany the goods down the chain of title. They run with goods much as a traditional warranty of good title runs with the land in real estate transactions. The warranty booklet that comes with the new car, the warranty certificate in the box in which the computer is delivered, the manufacturer's label attached to the herbicide container are all examples of "pass-through" warranties. In this thesis, after examining the express warranties under the present article 2 of UCC, "pass-through" and advertising warranties will …

Anything Goes: Examining The State's Interest In Protecting Children From Controversial Speech, Catherine J. Ross Jan 2000

Anything Goes: Examining The State's Interest In Protecting Children From Controversial Speech, Catherine J. Ross

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Despite doctrinal requirements that the state establish a compelling interest to justify content-based regulations on speech, Professor Ross argues that courts have routinely taken the government's interest at face value when it argues that it inhibits speech to protect children. The Article examines the Supreme Court's test which requires the state to establish a compelling interest by articulating the precise harm it wishes to address, demonstrating a nexus between that identified harm and the regulated speech, and showing that restriction of the speech will alleviate the harm. The author seeks to reframe the discussion surrounding controversial speech and children by …

Spiritual Directors And Clinical Psychologists: A Comparison Of Mental Health And Spiritual Values, Nicholas C. Howard, Mark R. Mcminn, Leslie D. Bissell, Sally R. Faries, Jeffrey B. Vanmeter

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

We surveyed a total of 315 spiritual directors, psychologist members of the Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS), and psychologist members of the American Psychological Association (APA) to determine their respective values on ten mental health themes derived from Jensen and Bergin (1988), and three spirituality scales drawn from the writings of John of the Cross. All three groups endorsed the value of expressing feelings, personal autonomy and maturity, and integrating work and leisure. CAPS psychologists and spiritual directors endorsed more than APA psychologists the values of spirituality, forgiveness, and the three John of the Cross scales. Spiritual directors reported …

A Preliminary Assessment Of Mental Health Needs Faced In Religious Leaders In Eastern Europe, Brent M. Ellens, Mark R. Mcminn, Linda L. Lake, Matthew M. Hardy, Elizabeth J. Hayen

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Enormous sociopolitical changes in Eastern Europe in the last decade have had a profound impact on the psychological functioning of the citizens of these nations. In order to assess and intervene in the mental health realm in Eastern Europe, a brief survey was sent to various Christian leaders in Eastern Europe. Common mental health problems identified across the various Eastern European countries and cultures include depression, relationship difficulties, alcohol abuse, and anxiety disorders. Christians in Eastern Europe tend to turn to family and friends for help with these problems first, pastors second, and almost never to mental health professionals. Clergy …

Integration As Service: Implications Of Faith-Praxis Integration For Training, Sally Schwer Canning, Carlos F. Pozzi, J. Derek Mcneil Jan 2000

Integration As Service: Implications Of Faith-Praxis Integration For Training, Sally Schwer Canning, Carlos F. Pozzi, J. Derek Mcneil

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Faith-praxis integration should be given further attention as the integration of applied psychology and Christian theology proceeds. The authors outline a rationale for faith-praxis integration based upon patterns of mental health needs and resources in the U.S. and for a Kingdom mandate. Implications of a faith-praxis perspective for trainers of Christian psychologists are suggested in relation to a program’s missions statement, faculty, course work, practical training, research, and relationship to the community. Selected activities of existing Christian psychology training programs are included to illustrate these implications. Ongoing discussion is invited concerning this emerging area of integration.

A Note On The Representation Of Environmental Risks In The News, Demond Shondell Miller Jan 2000

A Note On The Representation Of Environmental Risks In The News, Demond Shondell Miller

The Qualitative Report

This paper examines the role of the media in representing environmental risks to society, focusing on how environmental realities are constructed via the objectivist and subjective perspectives. This study explores the construction of reality centered on space exploration, namely, the Cassini space probe. In this study, 200 respondents were asked to read four news articles from various sources and comment on the information contained in the articles. Their comments addressed the extent to which the articles were useful in helping them assess their risk to potential plutonium exposure in the event of a launch disaster. A large majority of the …

1989 Revolutions In East-Central Europe : A Comparative Analysis, Ruth Rodda Jan 2000

1989 Revolutions In East-Central Europe : A Comparative Analysis, Ruth Rodda

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Theses

There is a substantial amount of existing literature that focuses on the revolutionary events of 1989 in East-Central Europe. Yet, there are few comparisons which apply a comparative-historical approach to a small set of cases. A large body of existing literature provides the ideal situation for a comparative-historical study. This thesis will test the utility of applying a comparative-historical methodological approach to the events of 1989 in four countries in East-Central Europe. The four countries are paired into two cases. The case of Poland and Hungary is compared with the case of Bulgaria and Romania. A theoretical frame of reference …

Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena, David B. Wexler Jan 2000

Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena, David B. Wexler

Seattle University Law Review

In this Introduction, I will briefly summarize Des Rosiers' Court Review article, entitled From Telling to Listening: A Therapeutic Analysis of the Role of Courts in Minority-Majority Conflicts, placing it in a framework that transcends minority-majority conflicts and encourages discussion regarding the use of therapeutic jurisprudence by appellate tribunals. My brief summary is followed by a series of comments that have the potential of launching a refreshing line of inquiry into the appellate process, opinion writing, and the formulation of legal doctrine.

The Ethics Of Advocacy For The Mentally Ill: Philosophic And Ethnographic Considerations, Bruce A. Arrigo, Christopher R. Williams Jan 2000

The Ethics Of Advocacy For The Mentally Ill: Philosophic And Ethnographic Considerations, Bruce A. Arrigo, Christopher R. Williams

Seattle University Law Review

In this Article, we critically address several philosophical underpinnings of ethical decision-making that impact persons with psychiatric disorders. We focus our attention, however, upon an admittedly limited target area. Thus, we canvass a select number of significant issues that pose unique problems for humanity. The purpose of these excursions is that of reflection. In brief, we will speculatively examine: (1) the relationship between human rights and the law; (2) the relationship between mental illness and the law (i.e. the rights of the mentally ill); (3) the ethics of involuntary confinement (i.e., taking away and giving back rights to the mentally …

The Nation's Teacher: The Role Of The United States Supreme Court During Times Of Crisis, Robert Jerome Glennon Jan 2000

The Nation's Teacher: The Role Of The United States Supreme Court During Times Of Crisis, Robert Jerome Glennon

Seattle University Law Review

This Article will suggest that TJ has occasionally been part of the United States Supreme Court's jurisprudence. The Court sometimes finds itself at the center of deeply-divisive national controversies. On those occasions, the opinion of the Court can, and ought to, play a role in healing the nation's controversy-inflicted wounds. The Court should consciously craft an opinion that speaks to the American people as a whole and that calls on every citizen, regardless of the fervency of his or her beliefs, to accept the resolution of the controversy offered by the Court. During such crises, citizens are unlikely to accept …

Advocacy Of The Establishment Of Mental Health Specialty Courts In The Provision Of Therapeutic Justice For Mentally Ill Offenders, Leroy L. Kondo Jan 2000

Advocacy Of The Establishment Of Mental Health Specialty Courts In The Provision Of Therapeutic Justice For Mentally Ill Offenders, Leroy L. Kondo

Seattle University Law Review

This Article explores the establishment of mental health courts as a partial solution to the perplexing societal problem that relegates mentally ill offenders to a "revolving door" existence in and out of prisons and jails.This inescapable situation results from a paucity ofeffective humanitarian policies, laws, and procedures for treating such medically disordered defendants. The establishment of mental health specialty courts is investigated as a potential means of addressing the complex legal issues and psycho-sociological problems faced by the judicial system in dealing with mentally ill offenders.

Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena: Judicial Notice And The Potential Of The Legislative Fact Remand, A.J. Stephani Jan 2000

Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena: Judicial Notice And The Potential Of The Legislative Fact Remand, A.J. Stephani

Seattle University Law Review

This Article begins with a modest objective and ends with an ambitious one. First, it asserts that appellate courts are an appropriate forum for considering the therapeutic impact of the law strand of therapeutic jurisprudence (TJ) scholarship. TJ's character as a "field of social inquiry" is especially suited to the appellate courts' task of formulating new rules of law and choosing among competing policy objectives when resolving opposing normative principles.
