Integration Matters: Rethinking The Architecture Of International Dispute Resolution, Anna Spain Jan 2010

Integration Matters: Rethinking The Architecture Of International Dispute Resolution, Anna Spain

Publications

International law promotes global peace and security by providing mechanisms for the pacific settlement of international disputes. This Article examines these mechanisms and their place in the architecture of the international dispute resolution ("IDR") system. The Article identifies three core deficiencies of the IDR system that limit its effectiveness and capacity. First, the international legal system has prioritized the development of adjudication over other forms of dispute resolution; the judicialization of international disputes and the proliferation of courts and tribunals evidence this. However, adjudication is limited in its capacity to resolve disputes that involve non-state parties and extra-legal issues. This …


A Critical Legal Rhetoric Approach To In Re African-American Slave Descendants Litigation, Lolita Buckner Inniss Jan 2010

A Critical Legal Rhetoric Approach To In Re African-American Slave Descendants Litigation, Lolita Buckner Inniss

Publications

In this paper I apply critical legal rhetoric to the judicial opinion rendered in response to the Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint in 'In Re African American Slave Descendants', a case concerning the efforts of a group of modern-day descendants of enslaved African-Americans to obtain redress for the harms of slavery. The chief methodological framework for performing critical legal rhetorical analysis comes from the work of Marouf Hasian, Jr. particularly his schema for analysis which he calls substantive units in critical legal rhetoric. Critical legal rhetoric is a potent tool for exposing the …

À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu: Russian -­‐‑Sja And -­‐‑En-­‐‑ In Asbmt, Leonard H. Babby Jan 2010

À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu: Russian -­‐‑Sja And -­‐‑En-­‐‑ In Asbmt, Leonard H. Babby

Russian Language Journal

In 1973-­‐‑74, Dick Brecht and I wrote an article entitled The Syntax of Voice in Russian, which appeared in Language in 1975 (hereafter B&B 1975). Since then Dick and I have gone off in different directions, but I have returned periodically to the rich vein of data and problems in our paper and return to them again here, this time within the frame-­‐‑ work of the argument-­‐‑structure based theory of morphosyntax (ASBMT) proposed in Babby 2009, 2010a, 2010b, and 2011, which has enabled me, after the passage of 35 years, to pinpoint what was right in the Syntax of Voice …


Some Thoughts On The Societal Impact Of Linguistics, Arto Mustajoki Jan 2010

Some Thoughts On The Societal Impact Of Linguistics, Arto Mustajoki

Russian Language Journal

Today, scholars are obliged to justify the necessity of research in their own fields. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the channels of societal impact of linguistic research. In other words, I will try to answer the following question: in what ways is the work of scholars dealing with language(s) useful for society? The paper is based on my articles published in Finnish (Mustajoki 2005, 2011) and on oral presentations in various academic circles. I will first discuss some general ideas concerning the societal impact of research and researchers. I will then try to apply these ideas to …


On The Status Of Russian Perfective Passives In –Sja, James S. Levine Jan 2010

On The Status Of Russian Perfective Passives In –Sja, James S. Levine

Russian Language Journal

In an early and important study of voice in Russian, Babby and Brecht (1975) introduced significant theoretical revisions to prevailing transformational analyses of passives in Russian. In their article, B&B demonstrated the inadequacies of previous analyses, which posited a single “passive transformation” for Russian. Instead, they proposed an analysis of voice that achieved maximum generality by accounting in a principled way for the syntactic relations between active, passive, and middle sentences. In particular, they argued that passives formed with the suffix –en-­‐‑ must be derived differently from passives in –sja, the former resulting from a lexical process that derived –en-­‐‑adjectives …


Seeking Alternatives To Marijuana Prohibition, Rachel Kiesel Jan 2010

Seeking Alternatives To Marijuana Prohibition, Rachel Kiesel

Honors Program Theses

Marijuana legality is a highly controversial social issue. Although our society continues to be bombarded by negative images of drugs and crime in the media, cultural perceptions regarding marijuana have been changing over the past few years. Today, many people are more accepting of marijuana use than ever before. As a result of these shifting attitudes, several states have taken the initiative to pass new legislation on regulating marijuana with reduced restrictions.

The Mirage Of Non-State Governance, Ralf Michaels Jan 2010

The Mirage Of Non-State Governance, Ralf Michaels

Utah Law Review

Postulating non-state governance challenges the state’s monopoly on the creation and adjudication of law, but it does not challenge the framework in which we think of governance, or government, as related and linked to the state. Nonstate governance is merely the flipside of a state government. Ironically, such a conception does not weaken the importance of the state for governance, but perpetuates it. It changes the state from a tacit background assumption to the prime criterion with which we differentiate between kinds of governance. This limits in crucial ways our ability to think creatively about governance. When we talk of …


Swirls And Whorls: Litigating Post-Conviction Claims Of Fingerprint Misidentification After The Nas Report, Jacqueline Mcmurtrie Jan 2010

Swirls And Whorls: Litigating Post-Conviction Claims Of Fingerprint Misidentification After The Nas Report, Jacqueline Mcmurtrie

Utah Law Review

A petitioner seeking to challenge a conviction that was based upon a fingerprint match will face difficulties, even when armed with the findings of the NAS Report. In the areas described above, CBLA and SBS, there were “insiders” who began to challenge the science underlying the forensic conclusions reached by experts in the field. The community of latent print examiners has yet yielded a William Tobin, or multiple experts such as those in the Edmunds case who testified they had changed their opinion about the scientific validity of the conclusions they had once endorsed. The committee convened by Congress to …


Long Overdue: Utah’S Incomplete Approach To Eyewitness Identification And Suggestions For Reform, Steven J. Joffee Jan 2010

Long Overdue: Utah’S Incomplete Approach To Eyewitness Identification And Suggestions For Reform, Steven J. Joffee

Utah Law Review

On January 17, 1985, Ronald Cotton, a twenty-two-year-old black man, was convicted of rape and sentenced to life in prison. That evening, his alleged victim, Jennifer Thompson, “toasted her victory with champagne.” Approximately six months earlier, in July of 1984, when Thompson was a twenty-two-year-old college student, a black male had broken into Thompson’s apartment, “held a knife to her throat, and forced her to submit to sexual intercourse.” During the course of the horrific attack, Thompson vowed to stay alert so that she could later help police catch her attacker and put him away forever. At one point during …


A Ticking Time Bomb? University Data Privacy Policies And Attorney-Client Confidentiality In Law School Settings, Gregory C. Sisk, Nicholas Halbur Jan 2010

A Ticking Time Bomb? University Data Privacy Policies And Attorney-Client Confidentiality In Law School Settings, Gregory C. Sisk, Nicholas Halbur

Utah Law Review

Looking only at the specific problem of the attorney-client privilege, to say that university data privacy policies that fail to explicitly protect professional confidences are a ticking time bomb (as suggested by the title of this Article) may be hyperbolic. Unlike the “Surveillance Society” that has taken hold in the American corporate workplace, most American universities remain committed to the principle of academic freedom and encourage largely uninhibited exploration of ideas. The educational culture itself may foster a greater expectation of privacy in use of information technology—notwithstanding contradictory language in a formal university data privacy policy. If an outside challenge …

Blood/Lust: Freud And The Trauma Of Killing In War, Nolen Gertz Jan 2010

Blood/Lust: Freud And The Trauma Of Killing In War, Nolen Gertz

Publications and Research

During World War I, Sigmund Freud and his followers held a special symposium in Budapest entitled "Psycho-Analysis and the War Neuroses." Their contributions centered on the importance of trying to understand what can cause a soldier to become traumatized in war by investigating the individual factors of each case as opposed to merely the situational factors. Thus by redefining such ambiguous illnesses as shell shock and war strain into the Freudian framework of the traumatic neuroses, they were able to do what the neurologists could not — explain the meaning behind the soldiers' symptoms and treat them with successful results. …

The Impact Of Previous Schooling Experiences On A Quaker High School’S Graduating Students’ College Entrance Exam Scores, Parents’ Expectations, And College Acceptance Outcomes, Debbie K. Galusha
