Stuck In A Rut: The Role Of Creative Thinking In Problem Solving And Legal Education, Janet Weinstein, Linda H. Morton

Faculty Scholarship

This article focuses on the mental process of creative thinking. We discuss what it is, why we have difficulty engaging in it, and how we can overcome this difficulty through specific techniques and a more conducive environment. Creative thinking is an essential component to problem solving. In training future lawyers, we must do a better job of incorporating and supporting creative thinking in legal education. We conclude the article with a description of some of our efforts toward this objective.

Private Law Making, David Snyder

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This article argues that a significant amount of law is privately made and suggests that privately made law should be subjected to the same kinds of questioning as publicly made law, considering in the end whether privately made law might be considered "molecular federalism." Private lawmaking, through which one private group makes rules that govern much larger groups, extends well beyond the boundaries of relatively well-known examples of private legislatures like the American Law Institute and the Uniform Law Commissioners. The phenomenon includes the practical ability of private entities to make law governing many kinds of corporate, commercial, and consumer …

Falling Into It: Novice Tesol Teacher Thinking, Mark K. Warford, Jenelle Reeves

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

The authors conducted a qualitative study in order to understand the preconceptions novice TESOL teachers might have about teaching English language. Long interviews were conducted with nine students (six native English Speakers and three non-native speakers (NNS)) enrolled in one of two courses offered in a TESOL teacher education program. None of the participants had experience as an in-service teacher. Inductive analysis of tape transcripts suggested the presence of several conceptual themes discussed in the teacher thinking literature. Findings suggest that novice TESOL teachers, like their more experienced counterparts, have a system of metaphors to conceptualize teaching. The apprenticeship of …

Out Of The Crooked Timber Of Humanity: The Conflict Between South Africa's Truth And Reconciliation Commission And International Human Rights Norms Regarding Effective Remedies, Sherrie L. Russell-Brown

UC Law SF International Law Review

Judicial review in the United States is a strong and effective remedy. However, it is a limited remedy because the courts act only when asked and because courts have developed an entire jurisprudence of reasons why they cannot hear cases. For past violations there is no constitutional remedy; and there is no constitutional obligation upon Congress, or upon the States, to provide remedies, or to compensate victims for violations of their rights.

In contrast to the U.S. Constitution, various comprehensive human rights and regional human rights treaties explicitly include, in some form, the right to a remedy for violations of …

Declaring War On The Japanese Constitution: Japan's Right To Military Sovereignty And The United States' Right To Military Presence In Japan, Derek Van Hoften

Specifically, it involves a detailed examination of the United States' post-war occupation of Japan and the new U.S.-drafted Japanese constitution that followed; of the intricacies of that constitution, including its renunciation of the right to belligerency or to maintenance of armed forces; of internal and external pressures to amend or reinterpret that constitution; of practical realities such as diplomacy, self defense and economic growth; of the legitimacy of a document called a constitution, for …
