Enforcing Rights: A Case For Private Rights Of Action Under Section 253 Of The Federal Telecommunications Act Of 1996, James E. Lippert

(Excerpt)

Judicial Independence: Is It Impaired Or Bolstered By Judicial Accountability?, Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick, Bradley T. King

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Tonight, we will continue the tradition of this stellar program that celebrates our former Dean Bellacosa's many contributions to the law school, the judiciary, and the legal profession. As a result of some brainstorming with Judge Bellacosa and others, I have chosen to continue the discussion of judicial independence and its corollary judicial accountability, and I particularly want to focus on how it is enhanced by an effective system of judicial discipline which we in New York are so very fortunate to enjoy.

Public-Private Partnerships In Atlanta And Houston Metropolitan Areas Of The United States, Andrew I.E. Ewoh

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are normally created by the legislature as an innovative method of public service delivery, and funds to support their operations come from taxation on business premises or special property assessment fees levied on property owners for different types of improvement activities and services within a geographic boundary. The major goal of PPPs is to encourage employment, commerce, economic development, and public welfare in certain areas. This paper examines the PPPs’ processes, financing, and promotion strategies in various projects as well as their impacts on sustainable economic development in Atlanta and Houston metropolitan areas of the United States. …

Viewing The Public Sphere With Influentials And Citizens, Leo Wayne Jeffres, Guowei Jian, Jae-Won Lee, C. Ellen Connally, Josie El Seikali

Communication Faculty Publications

The currently popular emphasis on democratic discussion in the “public sphere” often is critically viewed by observers commenting on issues of participation, empowerment, and efficacy without input from influentials, whose voices often are the content of public debates. Habermas was critical of the quality of democratic discourse, arguing for an “ideal speech situation” where participants are free to question all proposals; introduce proposals; and express their attitudes, wishes, and needs. This article examines perceptions of the climate of communication in the public sphere by influentials and the general public of a major urban area.
