Religious Norms And Family Law: Is It Legal Or Normative Pluralism?, Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im

Emory International Law Review

The premise of this introductory Essay is that it is not possible to have a religiously valid (or customary) outcome from any coercive adjudication by the courts of the state. In other words, whatever the state and its courts and other institutions do is inherently secular, and cannot be religious. If that is the case, then believers who are keen to live by their religious norms should avoid state enforcement, rather than seek it. To make this argument, Part I of this Essay outlines the premise and core idea of an approach to the mediation of such competing demands. Part …

Are Lawyers Unsung Disaster Heroes?: The Importance Of Well-Prepared Domestic Legal And Regulatory Frameworks For Effective Disaster Response, Elyse Mosquini

Emory International Law Review

The aftermath of a natural disaster unquestionably calls for action amid chaos. No matter its character'a sudden-onset earthquake, seasonal hurricane, or flooding'a natural disaster's immediate-term impact is similar: families and communities confronting loss of life and property and struggling to meet their basic needs. The affected population may be displaced from their homes, supply chains of essential items such as food and fuel may be cut off, and social services may be interrupted. When these basic needs outstretch local capacities, the complexity of the response operation mounts. This Article highlights the importance of well-prepared domestic regulatory frameworks for effective disaster …

Dueling Nationalities: Dual Citizenship, Dominant And Effective Nationality, And The Case Of Anwar Al-Aulaqi, Abraham U. Kannof

Emory International Law Review

This Comment argues that when hearing a case involving a suspected terrorist who holds dual citizenship, a domestic court should first determine, as a threshold matter, the dominant and effective nationality of the accused. This determination is significant because a dominant foreign national can essentially be treated as a non-citizen, for the purposes of adjudication, and may not be entitled to the full rights and protections of domestic citizenship.

The Effect Of Student Mobility On Student Achievement, Lisa Eddy

University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations

Student mobility and its relationship to academic success have been researched since World War II with varied findings (Goebel, 1978). Establishing the relationship between mobility and achievement is difficult due to the fact that mobility is related to many factors. Mobility has been found to be prevalent among students who traditionally demonstrate achievement gaps (specifically students of low-income status) (Long, 1992; Smith, Fien & Paine, 2008).

Mobility’s relationship to achievement is complex. Led by a single definition of mobility, admittance to more than one school in the given district over the period of one academic year, this research study sought …

Examining Adminitrators' Disciplinary Philosophies: A Conceptual Model, Brittany Wilkinson Smith

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

In the 40th Annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll of the Public’s Attitudes toward the Public Schools, Americans rated discipline as the second largest problem facing public education (Bushaw & Gallup, 2008). This poses a substantial problem for administrators as they strive to employ school reform policies, address public demands and meet the needs of contemporary students. A review of literature revealed a large body of research which examines disciplinary practice; however, it also showcased a literary gap regarding administrative disciplinary philosophies. This multiple case study highlights disciplinary philosophies possessed by five secondary school administrators. Analysis included utilizing the Administrator Discipline …

To develop the time and motion study methodology, a study was designed to examine how resident doctors spend their time. This study was performed in response to coming changes in the work hours for all residents. Once the methodology was developed, trial observations were conducted. The data from these observations was analyzed to determine …
