HIV and AIDS

In KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, in Durban’s peri-urban community of Valley of 1000 Hills, Horizons partnered with Valley Trust to implement and evaluate a program to provide education and support to orphans and vulnerable children. The study utilized a pre-post test design to assess the feasibility and impact of building the capacity of youth aged 18–24 years to provide HIV education and support to in-school orphans and vulnerable children in their communities. The Valley Trust Youth Caregiver Program trained older youth to provide HIV education, homework assistance, and psychosocial support to orphans and vulnerable children aged 11–15 years.

Fairly Random: On Compensating Audited Taxpayers, Sarah B. Lawsky Jan 2008

Fairly Random: On Compensating Audited Taxpayers, Sarah B. Lawsky

Connecticut Law Review

Some academics and politicians have proposed that taxpayers should be reimbursed for costs of randomly imposed tax audits, because, they argue, randomly imposing audit costs is unfair. But none of those proposing audit compensation have explained why randomly imposed audit costs are unfair, or why, if these randomly imposed costs are unfair, this unfairness necessarily means that taxpayers should be compensated. These are important questions because explicit randomness is an essential tool for tax enforcement, and for other areas of law, but its use may be limited if randomness is equated with unfairness. The Article argues that it is fair …

The Core Values Of The Legal Profession For Lawyers Today And Tomorrow, Jonathan Goldsmith Jan 2008

The Core Values Of The Legal Profession For Lawyers Today And Tomorrow, Jonathan Goldsmith

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Article began life as a speech I gave on the fifth anniversary of the Flemish Bar in Belgium (Orde Van Flaamse Balies) on 24 May 2007. It addresses the changes which are taking place in Europe and elsewhere in the world in relation to the regulation of lawyers, particularly insofar as the core values of the legal profession are concerned.


International Legal Practice Involving England And New York Following Adoption Of The United Kingdom Legal Services Act Of 2007, Sydney M. Iii Cone Jan 2008

International Legal Practice Involving England And New York Following Adoption Of The United Kingdom Legal Services Act Of 2007, Sydney M. Iii Cone

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article deals with the regulation of legal services in England and New York in the context of, first, multidisciplinary practice ("MDP") and, second, permitted investment in legal practice. The article summarizes both the background of and potential differences between the regulations in those two jurisdictions, and comments on the possible reconciliation of those differences. Because, chronologically, New York was the first of the two jurisdictions under consideration to adopt rules on MDP, the New York rules will be considered first, and the more recent statute, known as the United Kingdom Legal Services Act 2007 (hereinafter "U.K. Act"), will then …


Global Law Firms: Globalization And Organizational Spaces Of Cross-Border Legal Work, James R. Faulconbridge, Jonathan V. Beaverstock, Daniel Muzio, Peter J. Taylor Jan 2008

Global Law Firms: Globalization And Organizational Spaces Of Cross-Border Legal Work, James R. Faulconbridge, Jonathan V. Beaverstock, Daniel Muzio, Peter J. Taylor

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The aim of this paper is not, however, to generically chart the rise of the global law firm; others have already done this. Instead, our interest lies in better understanding how existing geographies of globalization of law and lawyers, alongside the new geographies of professional partnership and legal work, have created opportunities and challenges for global law firms. More specifically, we seek to unravel the complexities of: (a) the factors driving the presence and absence of global law firms in different cities; and (b) the way that law firms have been reconfigured to operate as spatially distributed organizations present in …


The Legal World Is Flat: Globalization And Its Effect On Lawyers Practicing In Non-Global Law Firms, Laurel S. Terry Jan 2008

The Legal World Is Flat: Globalization And Its Effect On Lawyers Practicing In Non-Global Law Firms, Laurel S. Terry

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

While lawyers in these large global law firms usually are aware of why globalization is relevant to them, other U.S. lawyers may not think that the globalization phenomenon affects them. A comment frequently heard is "Law is local so I don't have to worry about globalization affecting me or my practice." The goal of this article is to look at Friedman's work through the lens of legal services and to answer several questions, including: • Whether Friedman's analysis is relevant to what has happened in the field of legal services; • Whether a U.S. lawyer who doesn't practice in a …


Globalization And The Business Of Law: Lessons For Legal Education, Carole Silver, David Van Zandt, Nicole De Bruin Jan 2008

Globalization And The Business Of Law: Lessons For Legal Education, Carole Silver, David Van Zandt, Nicole De Bruin

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Cross-border law practice is growing to serve the increasingly global business of its clients, and U.S. and U.K. firms have been leaders in this global expansion of law practice. Expansion takes several forms, including the physical--with law firms opening offices in faraway locations to serve existing and new clients1--as well as the virtual--based on technology that supports the economics of cross-border activity by enabling practice apart from physical presence. Whether working for global or local organizations, lawyers today are increasingly faced with the prospect of working with colleagues and competitors who are diverse in terms of nationality, education and training, …


Lawyers, Law Firms, And The Stabilization Of Transnational Business, John Flood, Fabian Sosa Jan 2008

Lawyers, Law Firms, And The Stabilization Of Transnational Business, John Flood, Fabian Sosa

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Cross-border business transactions are complex. But in this globalized age, as commentators such as Ohmae have argued, business ought to be conducted simply despite national boundaries. Yet there are features of business that run counter to globalization and maintain a resolutely local character. A crucial aspect of this is the nature of law. No transaction can be carried out without a normative structure to provide a framework for the actors to operate within. Obligations, rights, warranties, covenants, and so on have to be specified and allocated. Even economists agree that the rule of law is essential for the conduct of …

The Law Of Recitals In European Community Legislation, Todas Klimas, Jurate Vaiciukaite

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Recitals, those 'whereas' clauses, appear in contracts as well as legislation, although not all legislation contains recitals; indeed, recitals are 'against' the precepts of certain styles of legislation.

Sex Trafficking And The 2006 World Cup In Germany: Concerns, Actions And Implications For Future International Sporting Events, Anne Marie Tavella Jan 2008

Sex Trafficking And The 2006 World Cup In Germany: Concerns, Actions And Implications For Future International Sporting Events, Anne Marie Tavella

Northwestern Journal of Human Rights

In the months preceding the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, human rights advocates around the world feared the sporting event would cause an increase in women trafficked into Germany's sex trade. The international media widely reported unrealistic estimates of 40,000 potential trafficking victims. In the end, no marked increase in trafficking was documented in during the World Cup. This article looks at the media flurry before the event, the prevention efforts during the World Cup, and the reality of trafficking in . It also addresses the potential risks for trafficking at future sporting events, specifically the 2008 Olympic games …

“Contextualizing” Bertha Wilson: Wilson As A Woman In Law In Mid-20th Century Canada, Mary Jane Mossman Jan 2008

“Contextualizing” Bertha Wilson: Wilson As A Woman In Law In Mid-20th Century Canada, Mary Jane Mossman

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

Justice Bertha Wilson was well known for her attentiveness to context. Indeed, her biographer, Ellen Anderson, reported that “Wilson’s characteristic stance [was] one of principled contextuality.” This paper explores the context in which Wilson became a lawyer in the 1960s and 1970s before her appointments to the Ontario Court of Appeal and later to the Supreme Court of Canada. By situating Justice Wilson as one of a small minority of women lawyers prior to the mid-1970s, when the numbers of women in law began to increase dramatically, it is possible to explore the kinds of opportunities and choices available to …


Indigenous Self-Determination And The State, Shin Imai Jan 2008

Indigenous Self-Determination And The State, Shin Imai

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

The right of indigenous self-determination is now accepted at both the national and international level, but the exercise of the right to self-determination does not connote any specific institutional arrangement. This chapter, from the forthcoming book, "Indigenous Peoples and the Law: Comparative and Critical Perspectives", (Hart Publishing, Oxford), describes a variety of arrangements in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. Indigenous people have the greatest political autonomy in the sovereignty/self-government model found in the United States and in the latest self government agreements from Canada. The self-administration/self-management model provides for indigenous entities to deliver social services and educational …
