Effect Of Apology Focus On Perceptions Of Sincerity, Apology Acceptance And Forgiveness, Sophie M. Beesley

Theses : Honours

The restorative justice process involves bringing the offender, their families, the victim and other stakeholders together, to discuss a particular offence and the impact on all those involved (Braithwaite, 2002). The intention of the restorative justice approach is to repair harm and restore relationships through forgiveness and reconciliation (Braithwaite, 2002). One way of achieving forgiveness is through an apology, and it is asserted by researchers that forgiving is significantly increased by an apology if the victim perceives that the apology is sincere, however, the indicators victims used to perceive the wrongdoer as truly sorry were unclear (Allan, Allan, Kaminer, & …

A study of surface pressure - area (P-A) isotherms, surface potential (ΔV) and effective dipole moment () of two calix[4]arenes, 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-diethoxycarbonyl methyleneoxy-26,28,dihydroxycalix[4]arene (compound I) and 5,17-(3-nitrobenzylideneamino)-11,23-di-tert-butyl-25,27-diethoxycarbonyl methyleneoxy-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene (compound II) LB films which have the same lower rim but different upper rim has been carried out. This work used a NIMA Surface Potential (S-POT) sensor attached to an LB trough. Space filling model or Corey, Pauling and Koltun (CPK) precision molecular models have been used to estimate the size and the flexibility of both calix[4]arenes, which has been confirmed by X-Ray analysis in one case. …

All Faculty Scholarship

This report was part of the project for the 2009 meeting of the European Association of Tax Law Professors in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The general reporter for the project was Professor Dr. Roman Seer, Ruhr Universität, Bochum, Germany. The report identifies and discusses United States cooperation with the member states of the European Union through treaties and other agreements on matters of sharing tax and taxpayer information and assisting in assembling tax information and collecting tax revenue. The United States report responds to questions that the general reporter posed and provides additional information concerning United States tax procedure.

New Opportunities For Nongovernmental Actors In The International Law Commission, Steve Charnovitz

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Four years ago, I wrote an essay for the Centennial celebration of the American Journal of International Law on the topic of “Nongovernmental Organizations and International Law.” In the section of that essay where I discussed whether, under international law, states and international organizations have a duty to consult nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), I surveyed some current practices of consultation in international organizations. My invitation to participate in this symposium has presented me an opportunity to revisit those thoughts, to conduct more research, and to update our scholarship on how the ILC processes use input from private actors. My presentation contains …

The National Labor Relations Act At 75: In Need Of A Heart Transplant, Charles B. Craver

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

When the NLRA was enacted in 1935, 13.2% of workers were union members. Industrial unions used the power provided in the NLRA to organize manufacturing workers and achieve a union membership of 35% by the mid-1950s. Although the NLRA was significantly amended in 1947 and 1959, it has not been meaningfully changed since then. As a result, a statute designed for mass production industries is no longer relevant to the service and white-collar positions occupied by most individuals today. The NLRA must be modified to include independent contractors who work like regular employees and perma-temps hired from employment agencies on …

How To Make The Much-Needed Employee Free Choice Act Politically Acceptable, Charles B. Craver

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

The proposed Employee Free Choice Act (AFCA) would make it easier for employees to select bargaining agents by allowing unions to become certified based upon authorization cards instead of secret ballot Labor Board elections. This practice would be similar to the practice employed by the Labor Board under the original NLRA from 1935 until 1947. To ensure that a majority of workers really desire representation, EFCA could require that 60% or 67% of employees in proposed bargaining units sign authorization cards before the designated union could be certified. EFCA would also require first contract arbitration in the many instances in …

What Makes A Great Legal Negotiator?, Charles B. Craver

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

What factors are associated with successful legal negotiators? I have found no significant correlation between student GPAs and negotiating results achieved on course exercises. I have found no differences in the results achieved by race or gender. Negotiator styles influence bargaining success, with many skilled negotiators employing the hybrid Competitive/Problem-Solving approach where they explore the underlying interests of the parties and seek to expand the overall pie to be divided, but use subtle manipulation to claim a greater share of the joint surplus for themselves. Proficient negotiators are thoroughly prepared, they have realistic, but elevated aspirations,and they begin with elevated, …

Negotiation Ethics For Real World Interactions, Charles B. Craver

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Attorneys negotiate constantly. Many persons who teach negotiation courses feel uncomfortable with the deception often associated with bargaining. Negotiators demand more or offer less than they are willing to accept, and over- and under-state the value of different items for strategic purposes. Such "puffing" and "embellishment" are part of most business and legal interactions, and are are accepted by most professionals. On the other hand, misrepresentations of material information is clearly improper. Collaborative and Cooperative lawyers who feel uncomfortable using deceptive tactics to further client interests have agreed to be entirely open and cooperative when they negotiate. At what point …

When Statutory Regimes Collide:Will Wisconsin Right To Life And Citizens United Invalidate Federal Tax Regulation Of Campaign Activity?, Miriam Galston

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

In Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life (2007) and Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission (2010), the United States Supreme Court dramatically reduced the ability of Congress to regulate campaign finance activities of corporations and others active in elections. Many of the same activities are still subject to restrictions by the Internal Revenue Code, which regulates the type and amount of political campaign activities that certain nonprofits exempt under federal tax law can engage in.

In the wake of the campaign finance decisions, the constitutionality of the tax law’s restrictions on campaign activity is now being challenged in …

Terrorism And The Law: Cases And Materials, Gregory E. Maggs

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Terrorism and the Law: Cases and Materials (2d ed. 2010) is a textbook written by Professor Gregory E. Maggs (of the George Washington University Law School) and published by West (ISBN-13: 9780314908582).

The textbook considers legal aspects of a broad range of methods that governments have for fighting terrorism, including criminal penalties, economic sanctions, immigration restrictions, military force, and civil liability. It addresses not just the steps taken in reaction to the 9/11 attacks, but also many other counterterrorism measures by the United States and other nations in recent years. To offer a global and comparative perspective, the materials include …

Virtual Shareholder Meetings Reconsidered, Lisa M. Fairfax

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

In 2000 Delaware enacted a statute enabling corporations to host meetings solely by electronic means of communication rather than in a physical location. Since that time, several states have followed Delaware's lead, and the American Bar Association has proposed changing the Model Business Corporation Act to provide for some form of virtual shareholder meetings. Many states believed that such meetings would prove to be an important device for shareholders who desire to increase their voice within the corporation. Instead, very few companies have taken advantage of the ability to host such meetings. This Article provides some data on state statutes …

The Digital Broadband Migration And The Federal Trade Commission: Building The Competition And Consumer Protection Agency Of The Future, William E. Kovacic

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Three areas of the FTC’s fairly extraordinary portfolio of policymaking responsibilities that affect the development of the internet stand out: (1) competition issues, (2) consumer protection issues, and (3) privacy and data protection. These three areas are linked by the FTC’s creation of policy by experimentation, assessment, and refinement, which ensures the FTC makes wise choices in the face of dramatic technological changes that characterize the internet. The three areas are also linked by institutional multiplicity, which may need to be reconfigured for internet-commerce policy.

Effective policy for internet-commerce requires investment in institutional building and implementation because the degree of …

U.S. Convergence With International Competition Norms: Antitrust Law And Public Restraints On Competition, William E. Kovacic, James C. Cooper

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

In this Article we focus upon an area in which greater convergence of U.S. policy with the practice of many foreign countries is long overdue: the treatment of public policies that suppress competition. Whereas the European Union (“EU”) and numerous other jurisdictions have taken strong measures to limit restraints imposed by national government authorities and political subdivisions, U.S. antitrust policy in many ways is more tolerant of public restraints upon business rivalry. Since the early twentieth century, Supreme Court doctrines have evolved to grant states and the federal government broad rights to enact laws that restrain competition. Further, individual groups …
