Demographic Trends In National Forest, Recreational, Retirement, And Amenity Areas, Kenneth M. Johnson, Susan I. Stewart

Sociology

Those who live near national forests are both potential forest visitors and neighbors who feel the impact of many forest management decisions. This paper provides some insights about those proximate populations. It does so by measuring the proportion of national forest land within each county and then combining that with an analysis of the patterns of demographic change over the past several decades. Because there is considerable overlap between counties that contain national forests and those designated as recreational, high amenity, and retirement destination counties, demographic trends in such counties are compared. A total of 757 of the 3,141 U.S. …

Compared To What?: The Ucla Comparative Labor Law Project And The Future Of Comparative Labor Law, Harry W. Arthurs

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

The UCLA comparative labor law project (1965-1978) exemplified and in some ways anticipated subsequent debates within comparative law circles in general, and amongst comparative labor scholars in particular. Both disciplines have been destabilized by the decentering of the state as a result of globalization and neo-liberalism and also as a result of developments in legal theory and methodology. The rebuilding of comparative labor law as a discipline depends on its ability to take these new developments into account. But paradoxically, to do so moves scholars farther and father away from "law" as it was traditionally understood, as well as from …

Mapping Comparative Judicial Review, Miguel Schor

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

This Article explores the questions scholars ask about comparative constitutional judicial review and critically assesses the answers they provide. Scholars ask three, interrelated questions: (i) why has judicial review (almost) conquered democracy, (ii) whether empowering courts to construe constitutions has a democratic pay-off, and (iii) how best to make sense of the variation that judicial review exhibits around the world. The Article makes two principal conclusions. First, our scholarly maps of judicial review have for too long viewed the world through the prism of the exceptional American Supreme Court. Our understanding of judicial review would be improved if our maps …

Regulating Private Legislation, Colin Scott

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

The development and application of binding rules has never been the sole preserve of governments. Within contemporary discussions, recognition of private legislation reflects both a desire to better understand the diffuse nature of capacities underpinning regulatory and wider governance practices and a concern respecting the legitimacy of such non-governmental rule making. This paper offers some analysis of the nature of private legislation. A central consideration is what makes such rules binding - and there is no single answer to this. The issue of bindingness alerts us to the existence of a penumbral area of norms which appear to steer behaviour …

Purity Lost: The Paradoxical Face Of The New Transnational Legal Body, Oren Perez

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

Modern international law seems to be in disarray. The classic doctrines of international law, with their focus on sovereignty, state consent, custom and treaty, do not provide a satisfactory explanation for many of the practices and institutional structures that fill the global legal universe. The contemporary legal terrain is characterized by overlapping jurisdictions, inconsistent doctrinal interpretations and competing worldviews. But what are the social implications of the deepening fragmentation and increasing complexity of the global legal system? Some observers see these phenomena as a new global risk, which requires urgent collective response. Global constitutionalisation is put forward in this context …

Transactional Law In The Required Legal Writing Curriculum: An Empirical Study Of The Forgotten Future Business Lawyer, Louis N. Schulze Jr.

Cleveland State Law Review

This Article will examine whether the expansion of required LRW courses into the realm of transactional drafting is justifiable. Part II will assess the need for required transactional drafting instruction by showing, empirically, that many students lack a disposition towards litigation or have an affirmative inclination towards non-litigation work. This Part includes both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the issue: It includes a survey of nearly one-thousand first-year law students nationwide and a set of questions and responses from a number of law students who self-identified as future transactional lawyers but who were members of traditional litigation-centric LRW courses. …

Law As Symbol: Appearances In The Regulation Of Investment Advisers And Attorneys , Larry D. Barnett

Cleveland State Law Review

From a macrosociological perspective, law is an institution of society, is shaped by conditions in society, and facilitates social life by interalia producing symbols. Law accordingly adopts concepts and principles that focus on the appearance to society of certain phenomena and that are symbols when the phenomena are socially significant. To illustrate symbols in law, the article examines (i) the "hold oneself out" standard in defining an investment adviser under the federal Investment Advisers Act and (ii) the standard for ethical conduct that requires attorneys to avoid appearances of impropriety. If symbolic concepts and principles are tied to the properties …

Leadership, Communication And Religiosity In Higher Education Administration: Distinctions That Make A Difference, G. L. Forward, Kathleen Czech, Patrick Allen

Faculty Publications - College of Education

This project investigated the communicative and religious components of transformational leadership and job satisfaction in the context of higher education. Specifically, 224 CAO members of the Council of Independent Colleges completed a survey assessing their own leadership style, communication behavior, and religiosity. A stepwise multiple regression procedure revealed seven significant predictors of transformational leadership. The most important variables included attentiveness, openness, role negotiation, and intrinsic religious orientation. Additionally, a t-test compared a subset of CAOs from institutions affiliated with the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities with CAOs in non-affiliated institutions. Results revealed statistically significant differences in attentiveness, information support, …

The Separate Nature Of The Religious Accommodations For The Palestinian-Arab Minority In Israel, Michael Mousa Karayanni

Northwestern Journal of Human Rights

In Israel, religious identity can serve to identify the governing law in a number of circumstances such as those concerning family law. While there is no separation between religion and state in Israel, separation does exist in the nature and justification for the existing religious accommodations of the Jewish majority on the one hand and those of the Palestinian-Arab minority on the other hand. The article asserts that because of the Jewish nature of the State of Israel, almost all of the apparatuses governing the "religion and state" debate have centered around Judaism.Religious accommodations granted to the Palestinian-Arab minority and …

Shadow Or Shade: The Roles Of International Law In Palestinian-Israeli Peace Talks, Omar M. Dajani

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

Pacta sunt servanda, the cardinal rule of international law, prohibits the breaking of agreements. But what role should international law play in the making of agreements? In How Nations Behave, Louis Henkin challenges lawyers "to think beyond the substantive rules of law to the function of law, to the nature of its influence, the opportunities it offers, the limitations it imposes-as well as to understand the limits of its influence in a society of sovereign nations.' 2 In that spirit, international law scholars have redoubled efforts during the last decade to measure the influence of law on international politics, drawing …

Social Theory & Its Relation To Social Problems: An Essay About Theory And Research With Social Justice In Mind, Richard K. Caputo

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This essay examines the relationship between social theory and social problems, the truth-value of theories, and the importance of theorizing about the role of the state, i.e., national government, in the resolution of social problems and the achievement of social justice. The author argues that much contemporary social theory has lost its moorings in regard to amelioration ofsocial problems, that Popper's criterion offalsification is a requisitefor more meaningfully applied social theory, and that the state should be part of any social theory meant to address social problems. Moral and political philosophy is used to provide criteria to justify a positive …

Bakhtin's Dialogism And The Corrective Rhetoric Of The Johannine Misunderstanding Dialogue: Exposing Seven Crises In The Johannine Situation (Chapter, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

One of the most fascinating thinkers and literary theorists within the last century is the late Russian form critic Mikhail Bakhtin, whose theory of dialogism seeks to account for several levels of dialectical tension and interplay in great literature. On one level, Bakhtin observes the “heteroglossic” character of language. Between its centrifugal uses in popularistic culture and the centripetal actions of philologists and grammarians attempting to standardize meanings and associations, living language is always in a state of flux. On another level, Bakhtin suggests that discourse is always “polyphonic.” Because meanings reverberate against each other upon their utterance, transmission, and …
