Satirical Legal Studies: From The Legists To The Lizard, Peter Goodrich Jan 2004

Satirical Legal Studies: From The Legists To The Lizard, Peter Goodrich

Michigan Law Review

In Part I, I expand on the distinction between the Horatian and the Menippean forms of satire and then suggest that a similarly bold division can be used to map satirical legal studies. In support of that argument, I use the example of the earliest surviving satirical legal poem within the Western tradition. My analysis of this exemplary satirical legal artifact delineates four principal modes of legal satire that will organize the ensuing discussion of more contemporary examples of the genre. In Part II, I will address the currently popular and yet somewhat novel mode of ad hominem or nominate …

Transnational Labor Mobilizing In Two Mexican Maquiladoras: The Struggle For Democratic Globalization, Victoria Carty Jan 2004

Transnational Labor Mobilizing In Two Mexican Maquiladoras: The Struggle For Democratic Globalization, Victoria Carty

Sociology Faculty Articles and Research

The struggle to improve workers' rights in Mexican maquiladoras and export processing zones elsewhere in the world is central to the politics of global economic integration. State-centered development is increasingly compromised by supranational institutions and trade agreements. Meanwhile, multinational corporations are relocating at an unprecedented rate to overseas locations. Export processing zones are notorious for poor working conditions and result in a "race to the bottom." The maquila sector in Mexico is a prime example of this phenomenon. This article uses two case studies to examine ways in which grassroots organizing has successfully resisted low wages and poor working conditions …

All Facts Are Not Created Equal, Bryan Adamson Jan 2004

All Facts Are Not Created Equal, Bryan Adamson

Faculty Articles

This article attempts to: 1) illustrate the inherent ambiguities of Rule 52(a), exacerbated by a court-created fact typology; 2) explain one of those types-the constitutional fact doctrine-and demonstrate how the Supreme Court has applied that doctrine inconsistently; and 3) explore whether the Sixth Circuit, by invoking the constitutional fact doctrine in Grutter, was attempting to extend the doctrine into the jurisprudence of Fourteenth Amendment intentional discrimination claims, or wrongfully appropriating the trial court's fact finding role.

The Tobacco-Related Behavioral Risks Of A Nationally Representative Sample Of Adolescents, Dolores W. Maney, Joseph J. Vasey, Beverly S. Mahoney, Sarah C. Gates, D. A. Higham-Gardill Jan 2004

The Tobacco-Related Behavioral Risks Of A Nationally Representative Sample Of Adolescents, Dolores W. Maney, Joseph J. Vasey, Beverly S. Mahoney, Sarah C. Gates, D. A. Higham-Gardill

Faculty Publications and Presentations

The study's purpose was to determine which factors were the strongest predictors of tobacco smoking behaviors among U.S. adolescents. The population included a nationally representative sample of 6,504 adolescents residing in the U.S. Data were collected in respondents 'homes using trained interviewers. Weighted population estimates showed that over half (55.6%) of adolescents had "ever tried smoking," nearly half of whom (48.2%) reported "regular smoking." Those whose closest friends smoked were twice as likely to "ever smoke " (OR = 2.24, p<.001), twice as likely to be a "regular smoker" (OK = 2.28, p <.OO1), and more likely (b = 5.15p <.OO1) to have smoked daily than those whose friends do not smoke. Results show the very strong influence of friendships on tobacco initiation and continuance among this national sample of adolescents. Recommendations for primary and secondary prevention are noted.

Presidents, Profits, Productivity, & Poverty: A Great Divide Between The Pre- & Post-Reagan U.S. Economy?, Richard K. Caputo Jan 2004

Presidents, Profits, Productivity, & Poverty: A Great Divide Between The Pre- & Post-Reagan U.S. Economy?, Richard K. Caputo

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper examined profits, productivity, and poverty in the United States from 1961 through 2002. Results indicated that the "great divide" thesis regarding the U.S. economy before and after the Reagan administration depends on which measure of the economy is the focus of attention. In addition, on some measures where before and after differences were detected, the nature of those differences was paradoxical. Corporate profits as a share of national income, for example, were highest in Democratic rather than Republican administrations and despite the increased income inequality of the post-Reagan years, individual and family poverty rates remained relatively constant after …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Internet Diffusion And Culture, Ravi Nath, N.R. Vasudeva Murthy Jan 2004

A Study Of The Relationship Between Internet Diffusion And Culture, Ravi Nath, N.R. Vasudeva Murthy

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

The unevenness in the diffusion rates of the Internet across nations is commonly referred to as the “digital divide.” Technological, economic and political factors are often mentioned as the primary contributing factors to this digital gap. However, there is sufficient evidence in support of the proposition that a nation’s culture also plays a role in how citizens adopt and use technology innovations. This paper examines the relationship between the cultural dimensions proposed by Hofstede and the Internet adoption rate of nations. Data from sixty-two countries are used to establish a regression model and the empirical results show that cultural traits …

Sexual Misconduct And Ecclesiastical Immunity, Ira C. Lupu, Robert W. Tuttle Jan 2004

Sexual Misconduct And Ecclesiastical Immunity, Ira C. Lupu, Robert W. Tuttle

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

This paper critically analyzes the possibility and structure of First Amendment defenses to actions, both private and public, arising out of sexual misconduct by members of the clergy. Part I traces the expansion of relevant theories of tort and criminal liability, and the waning of immunities, constitutional and statutory, that once applied to such actions. Part II of the paper advances a normative theory of the constitutional distinctiveness of religion, and ties that theory to the possibility of ecclesiastical immunity. Most conceptions of such immunity represent assertions of the liberty of religious organizations, and are grounded in the Constitution's Free …

The Challenge Of Cooperative Regulatory Relations After Enlargement, Francesca Bignami Jan 2004

The Challenge Of Cooperative Regulatory Relations After Enlargement, Francesca Bignami

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

This paper conceptualises European governance as a continuous series of collective action games among national regulators. European administration is theorized as a set of mutually beneficial relations among independent regulators, rather than as a hierarchy of supranational institutions, courts, and national administrators. The collective action approach highlights the importance of certain factors in fostering regulatory cooperation and enabling the common market to become an administrative reality: repeated interactions, monitoring and sanctioning by the Commission and the courts, reciprocity norms, and trust. It also suggests that one of the most significant challenges of enlargement will be to establish cooperative regulatory exchanges …

Families And The Moral Economy Of Incarceration, Donald Braman Jan 2004

Families And The Moral Economy Of Incarceration, Donald Braman

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

This chapter examines the moral economy of incarceration from the perspective of one family. Derrick and Londa's story, neither one of flagrant injustice nor triumph against the odds, shows a family facing addiction, the criminal justice system's response to it, and the mixture of hardship and relief that incarceration brings to many families of drug offenders. Stories like theirs are almost entirely absent from current debates over incarceration rates and accountability. Indeed, the historical lack of the familial and community perspective of those most affected by incarceration can help to explain the willingness of states to accept mass-incarceration as a …

The Biological Basis Of Commitment: Does One Size Fit All?, Naomi R. Cahn, June Carbone Jan 2004

The Biological Basis Of Commitment: Does One Size Fit All?, Naomi R. Cahn, June Carbone

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Understanding the biological roots of intimate behavior is a complex undertaking that involves the integration of evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, anthropology and sociology. Evolutionary biology describes theories that explain the persistence of certain types of behavior in terms of presumed evolutionary pressures or advantages, focusing on the human mind. Evolutionary biologists assume that behavior that maximizes the presence of associated genes in the next generation is the behavior most likely to persist. In this paper, we take the growing insights that arise from the study of the biology of attachment to frame the emerging policy choices underlying the governance …

Networking Is Not Everything: The Factors That Led To The Eventual Decline Of The Brigate Rosse, Courtney Janos Geraci Jan 2004

Networking Is Not Everything: The Factors That Led To The Eventual Decline Of The Brigate Rosse, Courtney Janos Geraci

Honors Theses

This thesis concerns the Brigate Rosse, an Italian terrorist organization that was active from the late-1960s to the mid-1980s, the networks through which the Brigate Rosse chose to work, how these networks helped/hindered the success of the Brigate Rosse, and how the murder of Aldo Moro marked the turning point in the BR s success. To gather data, T looked at primary sources, such as communications that were sent by the BR and government documents, as well as secondary sources which examined the actions of the Brigate Rosse, the networks they maintained, and the social and political circumstances of Italy …

Bridging The Internet Divide: An Analysis Of The Changing Nature Of The Political Communication Of Moveon.Org, Anne Marie Todd, Christina M. Sabee

Iowa Journal of Communication

As part of a bourgeoning network of online activism, MoveOn.org has launched a variety of political campaigns, powered largely by its online network MoveOn's unique methods of incorporating its members' conversations into its public messages reveal how the Internet is transforming the nature of political communication. This paper looks into the conversations among members on MoveOn's electronic bulletin boards and MoveOn's public rhetorical messages, including press releases, advertisements and campaign actions. These conversational and rhetorical media illuminate the links between the communication for internal and public audiences, and offer a look at the changing nature of political communication.

Across The Divide: The Working Lives Of African American Teachers In The Classroom, Kristen Marinus Larsen Iii Jan 2004

Across The Divide: The Working Lives Of African American Teachers In The Classroom, Kristen Marinus Larsen Iii

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This qualitative study examined how experienced African American teachers in predominantly African American schools perceived and conceptualized their worklives as classroom teachers, and, how they viewed their personal and professional identities in relationship to their lives as teachers. In depth interviews of 10 experienced African American teachers provided the data for the study, analyzed through the interpretative use of appropriate literature screens. The teachers understood their experience of teacher worklife and their lives as human beings through three distinct dimensions of personal and professional identity: the self, including perceptions of race and gender; the interactive dimension within the educational environment; …

Women, Globalization And Law: A Change Of World, Barbara Stark Jan 2004

Women, Globalization And Law: A Change Of World, Barbara Stark

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Globalization affects the social and political construction of a gendered "change of world" in four distinct but overlapping ways. First, globalization propels women into the public sphere of the marketplace. Like men, women need cash to survive in a global economy. Second, related but distinct, globalization weakens the public/private distinction. Traditional boundaries between the workplace and the home, the public sphere of the market and the private sphere of the family, become increasingly porous. Third, globalization increases women's visibility -through media exposure and through a growing body of sex-disaggregated UN data and its dissemination through the Internet. Researchers have noted …

The Process For Becoming A Law School Professor In The United States, Daniel H. Foote Jan 2004

The Process For Becoming A Law School Professor In The United States, Daniel H. Foote

Articles

As the process of legal education reform in Japan, centered on the establishment of a new tier of professional graduate schools in law, moves forward, one issue that has arisen is how law professors will be trained in coming years. In that connection, I am frequently asked what the typical route is for training law school professors in the US. Based in part on an examination of the backgrounds prior to entering law teaching for over 500 law professors at eight US law schools and on personal experiences (including serving for three years on the appointments committee at the University …

Faculty Perceptions Of Institutional Commitment To The Scholarship Of Engagement, Mackenzi Anne Huyser Jan 2004

Faculty Perceptions Of Institutional Commitment To The Scholarship Of Engagement, Mackenzi Anne Huyser

Dissertations

Problem. Institutions of higher education are in an important position in relation to fulfillment of their institutional mission. Boyer (1996) introduced to the higher education community an alternative approach to scholarship to address this shift from original mission. While Boyer (1990) examined institutions of higher education as a whole, the distinctive worldview, mission, and philosophy of reformed Christian institutions have not been examined to determine to what extent they are fulfilling their calling to transform creation and redeem culture. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine social perceptions that full-time faculty, serving in reformed institutions, hold about their …
