State Power And The Passamaquoddy Tribe: "A Gross National Hypocrisy"?, Francis J. O'Toole, Thomas N. Tureen

Maine Law Review

Because of their strategic location on the sparsely settled Canadian border, the Passamaquoddy Indians were of great importance in the American Revolution, and played a decisive role in securing eastern Maine for the United States. As soon as the hostilities had ended, however, the federal government promptly forgot about these Indian allies in what is now the State of Maine and, whether intentionally or not, left the Passamaquoddy Tribe in its dealings with the dominant society to the mercy of Massachusetts and, after 1820, Maine. The Passamaquoddy Tribe is a relatively small one, but there are approximately 120,000 other tribal …

Non-Ventilated Prone Positioning In The Covid-19 Population, Marie Delouche, Nishant Varghese, Christi Knapp, Jiangzhen Jenny Li, Michael Guffey, Danielle Guffey, Geraldine B. Jones

General Submissions: Clinical Settings Materials

In the population of confirmed COVID-19 positive patients on a telemetry unit, will proning every 2 hours result in a decreased length of stay for the intervention group (patients that prone) as opposed to the control group (patients that receive standard of care) over a period of 9 months (2021-2022)?

Search And Seizure, Daniel G. Lilley

Maine Law Review

Search and Seizure, authored by Colorado Judge Edward C. Fisher, is a book of better than 300 pages which purports to be a recent survey of the law dedicated to "peace officers of America." The foreword states that it is written for law enforcement officers and is a ready reference for attorneys, judges, and others concerned with the administration of criminal justice. The book is clearly written. It tells police officers how to conduct searches and seizures and it tells them why restrictions are imposed. Where there is still conflict and doubt, it gives the officer some "safe" approaches to …

The Development Of Admiralty Jurisdiction And Practice Since 1800, David P. Dawson

Maine Law Review

This book undertakes several tasks. It contains a detailed narrative of the ebb and flow of the admiralty jurisdiction exercised by the English Admiralty Courts from earliest times to the present, together with a look at the practice during each period. Unlike our Admiralty jurisdiction which rests on the Constitution and has grown steadily through court interpretation, the jurisdiction of the English Admiralty Court has expanded and contracted with frequent and varying statutory changes.

Judicial Administration: The American Experience, Robert B. Williamson

Maine Law Review

Professor Karlen's Judicial Administration: The American Experience "contains, in revised and updated form, the substance of three lectures delivered in England in December, 1968, upon the occasion of the founding of the English Institute of Judicial Administration at the University of Birmingham."

Maritime Personal Injury In The New England Fishery, Ralph J. Gillis

Maine Law Review

Commercial fishing, as carried on by the "down east" fisherman, is an industry fast succumbing to the economic inequities of vessel operation. Over the past two decades, the prices for fish boats have not increased as rapidly as the operating costs involved in fitting and maintaining the fishing vessel. Today, this situation has been compounded by the economic inability of the individual trawler owner to obtain protection and indemnity insurance to compensate crew members for injuries received during the course of maritime employment. The present consequence of these developments is that, although judicial and legislative regulatory guidelines have been set …

Privileged Communications: A Case By Case Approach, Josephine Citron

Maine Law Review

Privileged communications are communications which, because of a special relationship, are protected from revelation during the course of litigation. In the past, grants of privilege have been made by reference to professional groups rather than to the content of the particular communication, resulting in inconsistent treatment. Some professionals have secured absolute privileges for their relationships while others have been partially or totally unsuccessful. The inconsistencies are most clearly demonstrated by examining grants of privilege to medical, psychotherapeutic, and social work personnel, although it is not intended that the case by case approach suggested in the proposed statute at the end …

Record Piracy And Copyright: Present Inadequacies And Future Overkill, Peter Ballou

Maine Law Review

This comment explores different types of piracy from both a legal and an economic point of view, and suggests that raising the status of some of the economic distinctions to legal distinctions may well serve the public interest better than the present legal distinctions or those proposed in the Copyright Revision Bill. In brief, the record companies are rightfully concerned about the vast amount of piracy of many of their most profitable recordings. On the other hand, there are vast numbers of unavailable and presumably unprofitable recordings which are apparently desired by some consumers and many musical works which, and …

Rule 80b And Nonstatutory Judicial Review Of Administrative Action In Maine, Richard A. Langley

Maine Law Review

The 1967 amendments to rules 80B and 81 of the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure (MRCP) constitute significant and potentially far-reaching changes in judicial review of administrative action in Maine. Prior to 1959, nonstatutory judicial review of administrative action in Maine was available only by extraordinary writ. An alternate means of securing judicial review was provided by the original rule 80B of the MRCP adopted in 1959, but because of an apparent overlap of those two procedures, 80B was amended in 1967. That amendment made rule 80B the sole means of obtaining nonstatutory review of all governmental action and a …

Security Ins. Group V. Emery: A Step Backward For Interest Analysis In Maine, William F. Julavits

Maine Law Review

Security Insurance Group, the Connecticut insurer, sought declaratory relief' alleging that failure by its insured to furnish timely notice of the accident as prescribed by the policy precluded its liability. The insured contended that Maine's notice statute was applicable, requiring only that the insurer receive notice of the action before judgment, and that this requirement was satisfied. Alternatively, the insured contended that even if the Connecticut notice term were held applicable, since there was no contact between the two cars, it was his belief that he was not at fault and thus had no reason to notify his carrier of …

The Law Of The Land: Development Legislation In Maine And Vermont, J. Jackson Walter

Maine Law Review

In recent Maine and Vermont environmental protection legislation, desecration of the landscape has emerged as an issue as controversial as pollution of water and air. Traditional techniques of land use regulation operate locally, some say parochially, without any regular regard for Earth Day or statehouse politics or even administrative fair play. The trend in northern New England to adopt state-level standards totally changes the business of land development. And statewide rules are not the end; national land use standards are imminent. A report by the President's Council of Environmental Quality recommends federal controls within areas of critical environmental concern, such …

A State Approach To Effluent Charge, Orlando E. Delogu

Maine Law Review

Although the concept of effluent charge as a means of dealing with water pollution has been widely discussed in this country for more than a decade and widely used with documented success in parts of Europe for over fifty years, there is a surprising lack of specific material on methods of implementation. We are, after all, a complex society with overlaying levels of government and close working relationships between the public and private sectors of the economy. Furthermore, the statutory, constitutional, and institutional framework of the federal government and that of each state government are different in varying degree from …

The Role Of Regional Integration Organizations On Energy Transition And Sustainable Development In Africa, Neba Ridley Ngwa

Journal of African Policy Studies

The Paris Agreement represents a pivotal milestone in multilateral efforts to combat climate change and facilitate energy transition globally. As a comprehensive international legal framework, it outlines commitments for nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance resilience to climate impacts. This research examines the key role of regional and sub-regional integration organizations in facilitating energy transition and promoting sustainable development across Africa. As the continent grapples with the dual challenges of energy crisis and climate change, the African Union and its specialised agencies have emerged as key players in enhancing energy cooperation among member states. Though previous scholars have …

Social Movements And Democratization In Nigeria Since 1999: The Search For Good Governance And Justice, Kwame Adum-Kyeremeh, Danladi Abah

Journal of African Policy Studies

What factors account for the surge in social movements in Nigeria and what are the implications for democratization? Who have been the actors and what internal and external dynamics are reconfiguring the materiality of social movements? How is the state responding to the dramatic fluidity and frequency in movements? And what strategies have civil societies used to harness the potentials in social movements for sustainable democratization? Through a political economy approach, oral interviews with NGO leaders, leaders of human rights and pro-democracy activists, interviews with some citizens, and use of journals, newspapers, magazines and reports, this study interrogates and documents …

Les Archives Au Cameroun Dans Les Politiques Publiques De Développement: Des Plans Quinquennaux A La Stratégie Nationale De Développement Snd 2020–2030, Esther Olembe

Journal of African Policy Studies

Cet article examine la place des archives dans le contenu des documents de politiques publiques de développements au Cameroun, depuis les plans quinquennaux d’aprèsindépendance jusqu’à la Stratégie Nationale de Développement 2020–2030 (SND2020–2030). Après l’accession aux indépendances, les pays africains ont cherché à formuler des politiques endogènes de développement, souvent sous l’influence des modèles de coopérations internationales. Le rôle des archives dans ces processus de développement est paradoxalement resté relativement marginal, bien que crucial pour la continuité et la transparence des actions publiques, comme le démontre la revue de la littérature étudiée. L’article met en lumière la difficile intégration des systèmes …

Leading Schools In The Midst Of Covid-19: Experiences Of Basic School Leaders Of The Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem District Of The Central Region Of Ghana, Corinne Brion

Journal of African Policy Studies

This qualitative study uses a phenomenological approach to understand the experiences of thirteen Ghanaian head-teachers in suburban and rural areas of the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem district during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings revealed that these leaders faced numerous challenges related to pivoting to remote learning for the first time combined with the lack of access to technology. Other challenges pertained to the absence of infrastructure and resources such as books. Despite these challenges, these Ghanaian head-teachers were able to adapt to the crisis and alter their leadership style to educate the children they served. Currently, there is a limited …

Archives In Cameroon In Public Development Policies: From Five-Year Plans To The National Development Strategy 2020–2030, Esther Olembe

Journal of African Policy Studies

This article examines the role of archives in Cameroon’s public development policies, from post-independence five-year plans to the National Development Strategy 2020–2030 (SND2020–2030). After gaining independence, African countries sought to formulate endogenous development policies, often influenced by international cooperation models. However, archives have paradoxically remained relatively marginal in these development processes, despite being crucial for continuity and transparency in public actions, as demonstrated in the reviewed literature. The article highlights the challenges of integrating archive management systems into development strategies, despite being essential for the planning, management, and evaluation of public policies. It also analyzes current archiving policies and proposes …

Atoms For Agency: How Argentina’S Pursuit Of Nuclear Power Plants Represents International Legitimacy And Autonomy, 1951-1978., Jacob R. Gressin

Binghamton University Undergraduate Journal

Since 1949 Argentina has developed nuclear power plants (NPPs), overcoming political instability and financial barriers, to eventually succeed in the activation of Latin America’s first nuclear power plant, Atucha-1, in 1974. However, given the ample means of electrical production though fossil fuels and hydroelectric power, NPPs in Argentina present a paradoxical means of electrical production. This paper analyzes the history of Argentina’s nuclear power program, from 1951-1978, in order to offer a more holistic understanding of why NPPs were developed. I argue that nuclear power in Argentina was motivated not by a desire for electrical generation or to manufacture …

Women And Men In The Media, Margaret Gallagher

Communication Research Trends

Since the time of Adam and eve no theme has held the attention of storytellers and their audiences more consistently than that of sexuality and the relationship between the sexes. It is multifaceted, ever-changing, and so deeply involves everyone emotionally that few other subjects present such a challenge to sociological analysis. All would have to admit, however, that the past century has seen unprecedented changes in the role and status of women in relation to men. The mass media have played their own part in this evolution, creating images which have helped to delineate and define its shifting currents.
