Tort Immunity For Volunteers In Ohio: Zivich V. Mentor Soccer Club, Inc., Melinda Smith

Akron Law Review

Commentators have dubbed volunteers the "third sector" of the American economy, which is otherwise composed of business and government. Various services such as libraries, school boards, scout troops and little league teams depend upon volunteers. However, a series of highly publicized tort actions against volunteers in the 1980's combined with a cycle of increasing insurance premiums and decreasing coverage for volunteers and nonprofit organizations, raised concern within the volunteer community. Over the past several years some jurisdictions afraid of losing volunteer services have made public policy decisions shielding volunteers from liability for their own negligence. This note explores the debate …

Relationship Between Aprn State Practice Authority Perceived Autonomy, Professionalism, And Interprofessional Team Function Among A National Sample Of Aprns In The U.S., Patricia R. Gilman

Dissertations

Healthcare that includes high performing interprofessional clinical teams (IPTs) is one recommended strategy to provide optimal quality and cost-effective care delivery. Highly functional IPTs are characterized by effective communication, trust, respect, collaboration, information-sharing, and conflict resolution and are more efficient than individual providers working alone. Internally, IPT members' relationships and understanding of both one's own professional identity and others' role and responsibilities are crucial to team functionality and effectiveness. Externally, factors including regulatory practice environments might influence the effectiveness and performance of both individual team members and the team overall. Inconsistencies between states' practice authority (SPA) for advanced practice nurses …

“Protecting People, Not Places”: How Katz V. United States Restructured The Fourth Amendment, Kristina Leigh Wenger

History Theses, Dissertations, and Student Creative Activity

The Fourth Amendment is broken into two clauses which protect freedom within the home and impose warrant restrictions to enter private space. In 1967, the Supreme Court decided Katz v. United States, which impacted the Fourth Amendment as it changed the meaning of the Amendment and required continued judicial review to provide ongoing clarification. In 1965, Charles Katz was arrested for transmitting gambling information across state lines using a public telephone booth. Federal agents had attached an eavesdropping device to the top of the telephone booth to acquire evidence of illegal activity. At the time, the Supreme Court precedent allowed …

altREU Projects

Between 2017 and 2019 alone, over 30 million trips were recorded across over 100 cities in the US. These scooters pose a safety risk, as 20 in 100,000 trips will result in injury of the rider.

Unjust And Unethical: The Endless Punishment Of U.S. Sex Offenders, Chelsea Arnold

Alfie Scholars Conferences

Sex offenders are arguably one of the most stigmatized populations in the United States. Because of this, almost one million sex offenders are subject to extremely punitive laws far past the end of their prison stays. These laws make is nearly impossible for individuals with past sex offenses to reintegrate into society in any meaningful way. The laws in question are sex offender registration  laws. While the public may gain a false sense of security from these laws, evidence suggests that they do not work, nor are they fairly applied. The most poor and disenfranchised members of U.S. society are …

Impacts Of Climate Change On Mass Movements In Denali National Park And Preserve, Alaska, Zena V. Robert

Geosciences

The northeastern portion of Denali National Park and Preserve (DENA) is a high-altitude (800 m - 1400 m asl), subarctic (63°N) environment where climate is now changing rapidly. This landscape is underlain by discontinuous permafrost (perennially frozen ground), and the recent surge of mass movements occurring there could be the result of permafrost thaw. Some of these mass movements have the potential to damage the Denali Park Road, alter the flow of groundwater and stream systems, destroy vegetation cover, and endanger the half a million visitors that DENA receives every year. The purpose of this study to understand how mass …

Racial Profiling: Understanding The Practice Of Stop-And-Frisk In New York City, Lisa Ly

Spectra Undergraduate Research Journal

Racial profiling has become a prominent issue in modern policing today. Instead of being based on individual suspicion, racial profiling embodies a belief that people of color are continuously singled out by the police for scrutiny and harassment. Policies and procedures make the Black community vulnerable to police discrimination and racial profiling. Floyd et al. v. City of New York et al. (2013) declared that the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) practice of stop-and-frisk was racially profiling Black civilians. This study sought (1) to determine if the NYPD post-Floyd is still engaging in racial profiling towards Black civilians; and (2) …

Can The Requirements Of Shariah Law Regarding Criminal Punishments Be Interpreted In A Way That Is Compatible With The Iccpr And Cat?, Alfitri Alfitri

Indonesian Journal of International Law

Criminal law deals with the protection of public interests and values deemed to be crucial for a particular society. In Islam, these values are ascribed to the divine commands. Thus, there will be calls from some Muslims for the implementation of Islamic criminal law by the state for they believe that this is required by Islam. Can therefore the death penalty or corporal punishments required by the Shariah law be imposed by a state while they are in conflict with the state’s obligation to comply with international human rights instruments? This paper will analyze this uneasy situation faced by some …
