Unavailable And Unaccountable: A Free Ride For Foreign Manufacturers Of Defective Consumer Goods, Andrew F. Popper Jan 2008

Unavailable And Unaccountable: A Free Ride For Foreign Manufacturers Of Defective Consumer Goods, Andrew F. Popper

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

In the last six months millions of foreign manufactured goods sold in the United States have been found to be defective, dangerous, and deadly. This requires consideration of both the jurisdictional issues involved in holding non-U.S. entities liable and an assessment of why these products made their way into the U.S. market. Part of the blames lies directly with so-called tort reform. Tort reform has suppressed vital market pressure and limited the corrective force of our civil justice system. With limited or no punitive damages, with no joint and several liability, with future litigation risk minimized, what else would one …


Clinical Legal Education And The Public Interest In Intellectual Property Law, Christine Haight Farley, Peter Jaszi, Victoria Phillips, Joshua D. Sarnoff, Ann Shalleck Jan 2008

Clinical Legal Education And The Public Interest In Intellectual Property Law, Christine Haight Farley, Peter Jaszi, Victoria Phillips, Joshua D. Sarnoff, Ann Shalleck

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Clinical legal education provides a powerful methodology for students to learn about the relationships among intellectual property law theories, policies and practices; to encounter the experiences of persons who seek protection or who feel the legal regimes of intellectual property impinging on their ability to engage in educational, creative, innovative and culturally significant work; and to develop as lawyers. We describe in this article our motivations for forming an intellectual property law clinic at the American University Washington College of Law, the goals that we seek to achieve, and the tripartite pedagogical structure that we adopted - (1) a seminar …

Challenges And Opportunities In Recruiting Middle School Students Into Aviation Courses, Angela R. Olson Jan 2008

Challenges And Opportunities In Recruiting Middle School Students Into Aviation Courses, Angela R. Olson

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

It is no mystery that some people are enthralled with aviation from a very young age. These people are the dreamers. They live in a world with only windows, not walls. Not all people come to aviation through a world of windows. Many young adults live in a world with only walls. It is our job as aviation educators to allow young adults to see past these walls and into a world of possibilities in aviation. Two pertinent questions arise: When is the right time to start mentoring young adults to numerous career opportunities in aviation and how should this …


Editorial-Transitional Justice Globalized, Ruti G. Teitel Jan 2008

Editorial-Transitional Justice Globalized, Ruti G. Teitel

Articles & Chapters

Interest in transitional justice has surged in legal scholarship, in the human rights field generally and most notably in the domain of politics. ‘Transitional justice’ is an expression I coined in 1991 at the time of the Soviet collapse and on the heels of the late 1980’s Latin American transitions to democracy. In proposing this terminology, my aim was to account for the self-conscious construction of a distinctive conception of justice associated with periods of radical political change following past oppressive rule. Today we see that an entire field of inquiry, analysis and practice has ensued that reflects scholarly interest; …


Forgiveness And Prayer, Mark R. Mcminn, Heath Fervida, Keith A. Louwerse, Jennifer L. Pop, Ryan Dale Thompson, Bobby L. Trihub, Susan Mcleod-Harrison Jan 2008

Forgiveness And Prayer, Mark R. Mcminn, Heath Fervida, Keith A. Louwerse, Jennifer L. Pop, Ryan Dale Thompson, Bobby L. Trihub, Susan Mcleod-Harrison

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Forgiveness and prayer are both topics of contemporary social science research, but they are not often considered together. The present study investigates how Christian respondents portray prayer when describing the process of interpersonal forgiveness. Just over half of the respondents mentioned prayer as an important part of forgiveness at their first opportunity in a structured interview protocol. Prayer responses were coded as inward, upward, or outward, with inward prayers being the most common. The narrative descriptions of inward prayer resemble Worthington's (2001, 2003) REACH model of the forgiveness process.

Baby, Look Inside Your Mirror: The Legal Profession's Willful And Sanist Blindness To Lawyers With Mental Disabilities, Michael L. Perlin Jan 2008

Baby, Look Inside Your Mirror: The Legal Profession's Willful And Sanist Blindness To Lawyers With Mental Disabilities, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

The legal profession has notoriously ignored the reality that a significant number of its members exhibit signs of serious mental illness (and become addicted or habituated to drugs or alcohol at levels that are statistically significantly elevated from levels of the public at large). This is no longer news. What has not been explored is why so much of the bar has remained willfully ignorant of these realities, and why it refuses to confront the depths of this problem.

The roots of this puzzle are found in the social attitude of sanism, an irrational prejudice of the same quality and …

I Might Need A Good Lawyer, Could Be Your Funeral, My Trial: Global Clinical Legal Education And The Right To Counsel In Civil Commitment Cases, Michael L. Perlin Jan 2008

I Might Need A Good Lawyer, Could Be Your Funeral, My Trial: Global Clinical Legal Education And The Right To Counsel In Civil Commitment Cases, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

The quality of counsel assigned to represent individuals facing involuntary civil commitment to psychiatric hospitals is, in most American jurisdictions, mediocre or worse. In many other nations, it is non-existent, or so minimal as to offer only the illusion of legal safeguards. (Perhaps) remarkably, there has been virtually no mention of this latter scandal in the legal literature. Also, there has been little attention paid to this development by the clinical education movement (domestically and globally).

A variety of interrelated factors, however, may shed some light on this scandal, and may, encouragingly, lead to social change in the future:

Through The Wild Cathedral Evening: Barrier, Attitudes, Participatory Democracy, Professor Tenbroek, And The Rights Of Persons With Mental Disabilities, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

This article is a commentary on Michael Ashley Stein & Janet Lord, Jacobus TenBroek, Participatory Justice, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, - Tex. J. Civ Lib. & Civ. Rts. - (2008) (in press). In it, I seek to expand their analysis of the new UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in an effort to invigorate an area of institutionalized patients rights law that is now nearly forgotten: the rights of such persons to exercise civil rights while institutionalized. I also argue that Prof. Stein and Ms. Lord's paper should lead us …
