So What? The Individual Right To The Ownership Of Firearms Under The Ninth Amendment, Robert E. Bodine

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Note argues that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution fails to resolve the debate over the existence of a fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms because the Ninth Amendment is in fact the proper source for that right. This Note performs a historical analysis of the creation of the Constitution, reviews the little Supreme Court precedent regarding the right, and then demonstrates how the Supreme Court has applied the Ninth Amendment in cases dealing with other issues. Bodine concludes that applying the Ninth Amendment in that same manner necessarily leads to an inference of a …

Palaeoecological Implications Of Archaeological Seal Bone Assemblages: Case Studies From Labrador And Baffin Island, James M. Woollett, Anne S. Henshaw, Cameron P. Wake

Earth Sciences

. In recent years, increasing scientific attention has been paid to sea mammals as biological indicators of Arctic environmental change. The usefulness of animals such as ringed seal (Phoca hispida), harp seal (Phoca groenlandica), bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus), and harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) as indicator species is due to the close relationship of their range, reproductive cycles, and life histories to sea ice. The behaviour and distribution of these species correlate with ice conditions in the areas where the animals are encountered. The proportions of seal species represented in archaeological deposits may therefore reflect, at least in part, environmental conditions …

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

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 …

Critical Hermeneutics: The Intertwining Of Explanation And Understanding As Exemplified In Legal Analysis, George H. Taylor

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Understanding and explanation are often viewed as oppositional: understanding is considered a search for the meaning a text provides, while explanation employs a critical, analytic method that maintains a distance from the text it interrogates. This Article demonstrates that in legal interpretation, understanding and explanation are not opposed but inextricably interconnected. Drawing first on the work of Robert Bork and Justice Antonin Scalia, this Article shows how elements of critique are present even within forms of legal interpretation that seek to maintain fidelity to the "understanding" of authorial meaning. Second, it illuminates the converse, that theories drawn to methods of …

The New Deal At Work, Peter Cappelli

Chicago-Kent Law Review

The traditional employment system with secure, lifetime jobs offering predictable advancement and stable pay has given way to a new, more open-ended arrangement that is continually being negotiated between employer and employee. Evidence is presented both about the factors driving this new relationship and the subsequent changes in labor market outcomes. Tighter labor markets have, perhaps temporarily, shifted power from employers to employees, leading to new problems for employers and fundamental challenges to traditional models for management. These developments also raise new challenges for society and in particular to the long-standing interest in protecting employees from some of the destructive …

Distance Learning Programs For Pathology Education, Bruce Fenderson, Anthony J. Frisby

Academic Commons and Scott Memorial Library Staff Papers and Presentations

In this article we describe the development of distance learning programs for pathology education at Thomas Jefferson University. Our first step was to create a one-credit computer lab for an existing graduate course (Pathologic Aspects of Disease, PA570). Students use this computer lab to review case studies, submit essays, and take weekly quizzes. A discussion board is used to publish student essays and provide a forum for class discussion. Examination scores and academic progress are reported online. Our second step was to add lectures to create a complete, three-credit distance learning course for pathology education. (Pathophysiology of Human Disease, NU570). …

Don't Take His Eye, Don't Take His Tooth, And Don't Cast The First Stone: Limiting Religious Arguments In Capital Cases, John H. Blume, Sheri Lynn Johnson

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Professors John H. Blume and Sheri Lynn Johnson explore the occurrences of religious imagery and argument invoked by both prosecutors and defense attorneys in capital cases. Such invocation of religious imagery and argument by attorneys is not surprising, considering that the jurors who hear such arguments are making life and death decisions, and advocates, absent regulation, will resort to such emotionally compelling arguments. Also surveying judicial responses to such arguments in courts, Professors Blume and Johnson gauge the level of tolerance for such arguments in specific jurisdictions. Presenting proposed rules for prosecutors and defense counsel who wish to employ religious …
