The Grand Jury And Exculpatory Evidence: Should The Prosecutor Be Required To Disclose Exculpatory Evidence To The Grand Jury, Ali Lombardo

Cleveland State Law Review

In 1992, the United States Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Williams that the federal courts do not have the supervisory power to require prosecutors to present exculpatory evidence to the grand jury. This Note argues that the Williams decision is flawed because it diminishes crucial rights of defendants and because it prevents the grand jury from fulfilling its protective function. In Section II, this Note examines the historical background and purpose of the grand jury in England and America. Section III discusses the Williams decision and the rationale behind both the majority and dissenting opinions. It also discusses …

The Strengths And Weaknesses Of Local Human Rights Ordinances, Robert Salem

Cleveland State Law Review

This panel will discuss the prospects and perils of local human rights initiatives. Specifically, I will talk about the nature of these local initiatives and their advantages and disadvantages. Time permitting, I will also talk about our successful effort last year in Toledo, Ohio to pass a human rights ordinance that includes sexual orientation as a protected category, and why it is so crucial that lawyers and law professors become involved in these local campaigns. I believe that with determination, most communities can achieve what we did in Toledo. Local human rights ordinances (HROs) take a variety of forms, and …

Impacts Of Turkey's Integration Into The European Union On Agriculture In The Post-Uruguay Round Environment, Cemal Atici, P. Lynn Kennedy

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Agricultural trade policies between Turkey and the European Union are modeled using a political preference function (PPF). The PPF is used to estimate the producer and consumer weights perceived by policy makers. The agricultural effects of Turkey's integration into the European Union (EU) and optimal strategies for Turkey and the EU are analyzed Results show that Turkey' s PPF values will be lower, with respect to agriculture, when it joins the EU; however, EU trade liberalization benefits Turkey.

Kinetics Of The Photolysis Of Benzenetricarbonylchromium(0) In Chloroform, Leslianna Federici, Patrick E. Hoggard

Chemistry and Biochemistry

In contrast to the photolysis of Cr(CO)₃(C₆H₆) in nonhalogenated solvents, in which the products are CrL(CO)₂(C₆H₆) in the presence of a donor L, or Cr(CO)₆ and C₆H₆ if no donor is present, the photo-reaction in chloroform yields CrCl₃. No significant portion of the reaction occurs through absorption of 254nm light by CHCl₃• The quantum yield is 1.4, consistent with a mechanism in which several radicals are formed upon chlorination of the chromium, which then cause further decomposition of the reactant. …

Marketing To Hispanics, Jodi Marucheck

Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)

As Hispanics become more and more visible in the United States, businesses need to recognize this group of consumers as the valuable asset it is. Hispanics are becoming better educated, which leads to higher paying jobs and more buying power. What companies need to realize, though, is that it takes a sincere effort to reach this unique consumer group. Translating the general advertising campaign into Spanish is not sufficient enough to gain this group's loyalty. Companies need to appeal directly to the values and culture of Hispanics in America if they expect to add them to their clientele base. Before …
