Emerging Applications Of Jewish Law In American Legal Scholarship: An Introduction, Samuel J. Levine

Scholarly Works

In recent years, the field of Jewish law has gained increasing prominence in American law schools and legal scholarship. At the same time, in the realm of scholarship, a substantial body of literature has developed considering the relevance of Jewish legal thought to a variety of issues in the American legal system. As the substance, scope, and volume of this scholarship demonstrate, an analysis of Jewish law may prove helpful in providing comparisons and contrasts to both controversial and seemingly settled areas of American law. At the 2007 Annual Meeting of the Association of American Law Schools, the Section on …

Individualism And Collectivism In America: The Case Of Gun Ownership And Attitudes Toward Gun Control, Katarzyna Celinska

Publications and Research

A number of sociologists and cultural psychologists claim that the United States is a predominantly individualistic country. This article uses a unidimensional index of individualism and collectivism to analyze one of the most debated sociopolitical issues in America: gun ownership and gun control. It tests the hypothesis that the widespread gun ownership in the United States and prevailing attitudes toward gun control represent competing individualistic and collectivistic cultural traditions, respectively. The findings indicate that the index is one of the predictors of gun ownership and of attitudes about gun permits.

Proposal Of Professional Ethics Division: Proposed Interpretation 102-7, Other Considerations: Meeting The Objectives Of The Fundamental Principles, And Proposed Framework For Meeting The Objectives Of The Fundamental Principles; Proposed Interpretation 102-7, Other Considerations: Meeting The Objectives Of The Fundamental Principles, And Proposed Framework For Meeting The Objectives Of The Fundamental Principles, May 15, 2007; Exposure Draft (American Institute Of Certified Public Accountants), 2007, May 15, American Institute Of Certified Public Accountants. Professional Ethics Executive Committee

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

The Committee recognizes that specific threats to meeting the objectives of the fundamental principles may arise when providing professional services to clients and employers. Because it is impossible to address in the Code every situation that creates such threats and specify the appropriate safeguards to mitigate or eliminate those threats, the proposed Framework provides guidance to members when faced with making decisions on ethical matters that are not explicitly addressed by the Code. Under no circumstances, however, may the proposed Framework be used to justify noncompliance with the prohibitions or requirements contained in the rules, interpretations, and rulings in the …

Parents As Navigators: How Caregivers Of Children With Mental Health Difficulties Find Supports In The Workplace, Katherine J. Huffstutter, Jennifer R. Bradley, Eileen M. Brennan, Marlene Penn, Julie M. Rosenzweig

School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Presentations

For some parents, the gap between the demands of work and family and the resources they have available to meet these responsibilities is too great, particularly for employed parents of children with emotional or behavioral disorders (Brennan & Brannan, 2005). While responding to the increasing demands of the workplace for dedicated performance and significant facetime, parents must also arrange for their children's treatment, see that their educational needs are met, and provide enrichment opportunities in the community (Huang et al., 2005). Despite challenges, these parents have used creative approaches to "cobble together" flexible arrangements that work for both their families …

Program Staff In Youth Mentoring Programs: Qualifications, Training, And Retention, Thomas E. Keller

School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Presentations

Considering the many ways in which program staff may influence the experiences of mentors, youth, and parents in mentoring interventions, the author advocates that greater attention be devoted to the recruitment, training, and retention of qualified and competent program professionals in the field of youth mentoring. Research from similar fields is informative, but inferences and implications drawn from these studies may not translate directly to the realities of youth mentoring programs. The investigation of staffing issues in youth mentoring presents an opportunity to guide investment in the infrastructure of the youth mentoring movement and to ultimately improve the quality and …

Isolation, Characterization, And Degradation Of Bakuchiol From Psoralidium Tenuiflorum, Pei-Jan Hsu

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

Bioactivity guided fractionation of the EtOAc extract from Psoralidium tenuiflorum afforded the known compound bakuchiol as a racemic mixture. This compound was purified by liquid-liquid partitions and chromatographic techniques followed by characterization with ]H NMR, 13C NMR, and GCMS which agreed with previous literature. Previously, bakuchiol was reported from Psoralea corylirolia and Posoralea glandulosa in nature which are from the same family as P. tenuiflorum. This compound exhibited Staphylococcus epidermidis cytotoxicity.

Two Dimensional NMR (HHCOSY and HETCOR) of bakuchiol indicated a disagreement with the previously described NMR structural assignment; a reassignment is described herein.

Long-term storage followed by attempted reisolation …

La Representation Litteraire Du Paysan FrançAis Par Balzac, Sand Et Zola, Morad Mitta

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

L’histoire et la littérature nous ont légué des représentations contradictoires du paysan. Au-delà de cette dualité dans la représentation, il a existé, à même la littérature du 19eme siècle, une variation importante de son portrait. Des auteurs comme Honoré de Balzac, George Sand et plus tard Emile Zola ont participé chacun à sa manière au développement d’une image particulière de ce personnage. Le paysan de Balzac est ce sauvage de la campagne qui s’apparente au petit escroc ; celui de Sand cet être particulièrement moral et bon par nature ; et celui de Zola cet animal dans l’expression de tous …

The Effect Of Celebrity-Status On Juror Decision-Making, Mark Skowronski

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

Reported frequently in the popular press is a public perception that juries hold celebrities to a different legal standard. This study tested this hypothesis by presenting paiticipants with a trial transcript of a personal injury lawsuit in which the defendant was either a famous male actor or a comparable non-celebrity. Also tested was the hypothesis that the presence of a celebrity would render “jurors” more susceptible to heuristic- processing of trial information. Some participants were informed that the location of the accident was the estate of a famous male actor while for others the estate had non- celebrity ownership. It …

Human Genetics Studies: The Case For Group Rights, Laura S. Underkuffler

Faculty Scholarship

With the importance of genetic information has come bitter battles over its control. In these battles, some principles have emerged that are beyond dispute. The ability of individuals to control the disposition and genetic testing of their own biological materials is (as a matter of theory, at least) beyond question. No one would argue today that an individual could be subject to genetic testing for studies against her will, or that biological samples obtained from individuals under specified conditions could be simply deemed "free" of such conditions by researchers. Although difficult problems remain in the interpretation of research agreements, the …

Automatic Perfection Of Sales Of Payment Intangibles: A Trap For The Unwary, Steven L. Schwarcz

Faculty Scholarship

Under Section 9-309(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code, sales of "payment intangibles" are automatically perfected without the requirement of filing financing statements. Originally intended as a concession to the banking industry (to perfect sales of loan participations without filing), this provision has become a trap for the unwary-including unwary banks. It misleads those who think they're buying payment intangibles (and thus need not file to perfect) only to find out, too late, that a court has construed that arcane definition too narrowly. It also undermines the ability to know one's priority in purchased or pledged payment intangibles. This essay analyses …

Synthetic Biology: Caught Between Property Rights, The Public Domain, And The Commons, Arti K. Rai, James Boyle

Faculty Scholarship

Synthetic biologists aim to make biology a true engineering discipline. In the same way that electrical engineers rely on standard capacitors and resistors, or computer programmers rely on modular blocks of code, synthetic biologists wish to create an array of modular biological parts that can be readily synthesized and mixed together in different combinations. Synthetic biology has already produced important results, including more accurate AIDS tests and the possibility of unlimited supplies of previously scarce drugs for malaria. Proponents hope to use synthetic organisms to produce not only medically relevant chemicals but also a large variety of industrial materials, including …

Towards A Right To Privacy In Transnational Intelligence Networks, Francesca E. Bignami

Faculty Scholarship

Antiterrorism intelligence sharing across national borders has been trumpeted as one of the most promising forms of networked global governance. By exchanging information across the world, government agencies can catch terrorists and other dangerous criminals. Yet this new form of global governance is also one of the most dangerous. Even at the domestic level, secrecy and national security imperatives have placed intelligence agencies largely beyond legal and democratic oversight. But at the global level, accountability is missing entirely. Global cooperation among national intelligence agencies is extraordinarily opaque. The nature of the international system compounds the problem: these actors do not …
