Contribution To The Speleology Of Sterkfontein Cave, Gauteng Province, South Africa, J. E.J. Martini, P. E. Wipplinger, H. F.G. Moen

KIP Articles

The authors present more data about the speleological aspect of the Sterkfontein Cave, famous for its bone breccia which yielded abundant hominid remains. They also briefly review the previous voluminous studies by numerous authors, which are mainly dealing with the paleontology, stratigraphy and sedimentology of the breccia. The present investigations were oriented to hitherto poorly investigated aspects such as detail mapping of the cave, its country rock stratigraphy and recording the underground extension of the basal part of the breccia body. The cave consists of a complex network of phreatic channels, developed along joints in Neoarchaean cherty dolostone over a …

Humanitarian Impact From Mines Other Than Anti-Personnel Mines, Gichd

Global CWD Repository

This report summarises the capacity of the landmine clearance sector to respond to mines other than anti-personnel mines (MOTAPM), specifically anti-vehicle mines. It then looks at the humanitarian impact of MOTAPM contamination in a specific environment. A case study illustrates the efforts of humanitarian organisations to address problems faced by rural communities in Angola . These problems persist and are made worse because MOTAPM on roads prevent humanitarian organisations from gaining access to the population. MOTAPM are also seen to increase the cost of humanitarian assistance. The conclusions of the report complement evidence presented by the International Committee of the …

Pernicious Ambiguity In Contracts And Statutes, Lawrence M. Solan

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article explores pernicious ambiguity, an interpretive problem that is not adequately acknowledged by the legal system. Pernicious ambiguity occurs when the various actors involved in a dispute all believe a text to be clear, but assign different meanings to it. Depending upon how the legal system handles this situation, a case with pernicious ambiguity can easily become a crapshoot. If the judge does not take heed of the competing interpretations as reflecting a lack of clarity, and if that judge happens to understand the document in a way helpful to a particular party, that party wins. Because the document …

Did Clinton Lie?: Defining "Sexual Relations", Peter Tiersma

Chicago-Kent Law Review

With the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton now well behind us, we can step back and consider the matter somewhat more dispassionately. The focus of the impeachment hearings was that Clinton perjured himself and engaged in obstruction of justice. I limit my observations to the question of whether he committed perjury, and in particular, whether he lied when he denied having a sexual relationship with a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky.

When Clinton was first asked during a deposition whether he had ever had an "affair" or "sexual relationship" with Lewinsky, he quite explicitly denied it. He was asked about …

Authority Heuristics, David J. Gerber

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article examines a characteristic of legal language that leads to unexpected and potentially harmful distortions of legal knowledge. It describes how authority heuristics distort knowledge about law in foreign legal systems. The concept of authority heuristics refers to assumptions about authority that are imbedded in cognition. The Article argues that where a legal professional in one system relies on authoritative language in another legal system, she is likely to apply authority heuristics from her own system and to that extent misinterpret information that she receives from the foreign system. The same language that provides valuable information when used by …

What's Wrong With Harmless Theories Of Punishment, Kenworthey Bilz, John M. Darley

Chicago-Kent Law Review

We maintain that conventional punishment theories obscure what is virtually always at the heart of punishment policy debates: harm. Namely, punishment policy disputes reflect contested views about what the harms inflicted by crime are as an empirical matter, and whether these harms ought to be acknowledged by the criminal justice regime as a normative matter. We argue that in order to know who, what, and how much to punish, one must take a position about what the harms of crime actually are. However, conventional punishment theories are mute on this question. When they supply an answer, it is because they …

Two Mistakes Behavioralists Make: A Reply To Professor Feigenson Et Al. And Professor Slovic, Thom Lambert

Faculty Publications

First, the growing catalog of cognitive quirks may lead behavioralists to hastily adopt “non-rational” explanations for otherwise rational behavior. Second, because their evidence seems to undermine the rationality assumption of Chicago school law and economics, behavioralists may improperly assume that their work also undermines that school's default policy prescription--i.e., laissez faire. Consequently, they may advocate inappropriately paternalistic government policies.

Common Knowledge, Communication, And Public Reason, Bruce Chapman

Chicago-Kent Law Review

In this Article I explain why game theory has been so unsuccessful in accounting for the role of language in social interaction. I begin by exploring some of its most basic difficulties in this respect, in games of pure coordination, and trace these difficulties back to the most fundamental organizing concepts in the theory of games, namely, Nash equilibrium and common knowledge of rationality. Nash thinkers and Nash actors, I argue, are doomed to have very impoverished conversations as Nash talkers. The sorts of conversations they will have will leave them paralyzed in games of pure coordination and largely uncooperative …

The Coiled Serpent Of Argument: Reason, Authority, And Law In A Talmudic Tale, David Luban

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Perhaps the best-known story in the Talmud is the tale of the Oven of Akhnai, in which Rabbi Eliezer performs miracles to prove a contested point of law, while the other rabbis in the court reply that even a divine voice cannot overturn the vote of the majority. The surprising twists in the story raise complex issues about the nature of authority and legal objectivity, the coerciveness of logic, the political character of courts, and the ethics of argument. This Article offers several readings of the Oven of Akhnai and explores its relevance to contemporary legal theory.

A Brief Exploration Of Space: Some Observations On Law School Architecture, Robert H. Jerry Ii

Faculty Publications

The costs and benefits of some architectural choices are immediately obvious, as in the case of disability accommodations. But other choices are less obvious, even when one does not attempt to predict how a design will function thirty or forty years hence. This is why having a skilled design team involved in developing the plan and executing it is so important.

Accountability In A Postdesegregation Era: The Continuing Significance Of Racial Segregation, Kathryn M. Borman, Tamela Eitle, Deanna Michael, David J. Eitle, Reginald Lee, Larry Johnson, Deirdre Cobb-Roberts, Sherman Dorn, Barbara Shircliffe

Educational and Psychological Studies Faculty Publications

In the wake of both the end of court-ordered school desegregation and the growing popularity of accountability as a mechanism to maximize student achievement, the authors explore the association between racial segregation and the percentage of students passing high-stakes tests in Florida's schools. Results suggest that segregation matters in predicting school-level performance on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test after control for other known andpurportedpredictors of standardized testperformance. Also, these results suggest that neither recent efforts by the state of Florida to equalize the funding of education nor current efforts involving high-stakes testing will close the Black-White achievement gap without consideration …
