Should Antitrust Education Be Mandatory (For Law School Administrators)?, Royce De R. Barondes, Thomas A. Lambert
Should Antitrust Education Be Mandatory (For Law School Administrators)?, Royce De R. Barondes, Thomas A. Lambert
Faculty Publications
The Executive Committee of the Association of American Law Schools has adopted a Statement of Good Practices that purports to limit the times when law schools may make offers to hire faculty members at other schools. Schools are generally not to make offers for indefinite appointments to professors on other faculties after March 1, subject to extension for two months with the consent of the incumbent's dean. They also are not to make offers contemplating resignation from a current faculty position more than two weeks following those deadlines. Proceeding on the assumption that the AALS policy, whose express terms are …
Education Definitions For The Parameters Of Georgia's Hope Scholarship: Amend Certain Definitions Relating To Hope Scholarships And Grants; Limit The Number Of Quarter Or Semester Hours For Which Hope Scholarships May Be Received At Public And Private Postsecondary Institutions; Provide For Students In Professional Level Programs; Provide For Related Matters; Repeal Conflicting Laws; And For Other Purposes, Christopher J. Sullivan
Georgia State University Law Review
The bill would have changed definitions associated with implementation of Georgia's HOPE scholarship program. Specifically, it would have limited to 127 the number of semester hours for which a student in Georgia's postsecondary institutions may receive HOPE scholarship funding. If enacted, the bill would have applied to all postsecondary educational programs at private and public schools that grant baccalaureate degrees. The bill would also have eliminated differentiation among program titles such as associate and baccalaureate when considering eligibility for HOPE scholarship funding. The bill's provisions would not have taken effect until the 2005 fall semester. Prior statutory definitions would have …
Education Elementary And Postsecondary Education: Amend The "Quality Basic Education Act"; Change Certain Provisions Relating To Determination Of Enrollment By Institutional Programs; Authorize The Establishment Of The Georgia Virtual School; Provide For Rules And Regulations; Provide For A Georgia Virtual School Grant Account; Provide For Statutory Construction; Provide For Related Matters; Provide An Effective Date; Repeal Conflicting Laws; And For Other Purposes, Kristen Swift
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act authorizes the State Board of Education to establish a Georgia Virtual School where students may enroll in state-funded courses via the Internet. All Georgia students who are age 21 or younger are eligible to enroll, but the Act gives public school students priority. The Act also authorizes the State Board of Education to establish rules and regulations, including the processes for enrollment and reporting grades on students' transcripts. Students may register for courses in excess of the maximum number of courses allowed per year at a tuition rate the State Board of Education will establish. The Professional Standards …
The Following Article Addresses A Package Of Immigration Bills That Would Have Affected A Variety Of Titles In The Official Code Of Georgia Annotated, Susan S. Blum
Georgia State University Law Review
HR 256 - The resolution would have proposed an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Georgia to bar undocumented immigrants from the following: receiving any public services provided by the state, receiving any publicly funded health care services provided by the state, accessing public elementary and secondary schools of the state, and attending any public postsecondary institution of the state. The resolution would have presented the proposed constitutional amendment to Georgia voters for ratification or rejection. SB 169 - The bill would have prohibited any department, agency, instrumentality, or political subdivision of the State of Georgia from entering …
Texas Needs More Drug Courts., Bryan S. Oathout
Texas Needs More Drug Courts., Bryan S. Oathout
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Drug courts are the nation’s newest legal development in the war on drugs. These courts attempt to stop drug abuse through a treatment-based alternative court which focuses on an offender’s addiction and decluttering the courts. The main goal of drug courts is rehabilitation, not punishment. Drug courts help diminish the cost of putting drug-abusing offenders into our criminal justice system which causes prison and jail overcrowding. Fighting drug abuse also drains our economic resources. Since the implementation of drug courts in 1989, over seventy percent of drug-abusing offenders have either successfully completed the drug court program or are still participating …

Instructions In Inequality: Development, Human Rights, Capabilities, And Gender Violence In Schools, Erika George
Instructions In Inequality: Development, Human Rights, Capabilities, And Gender Violence In Schools, Erika George
Faculty Scholarship
This Article argues that the international community's gender equality targets will not be realized by 2015 because the problems associated with sexual violence against girls in schools are situated at an intersection of contested conceptual divides between human rights (civil and political liberties) and development aims (social and economic needs). Cracks in the conceptual foundations of both the liberal and utilitarian theories of justice and equality, which support traditional human rights advocacy and economic development plans, respectively render each approach inadequate to fully identify and address the grave danger sexual violence and harassment in schools pose to educational equality. In …

Construire La Liberté Ou Le Défi Haïtien, Bernard Hadjadj
Construire La Liberté Ou Le Défi Haïtien, Bernard Hadjadj
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The major challenge of Haitian society remains building liberty after emerging from slavery and acquiring independence. Two centuries after the birth of the first Black Republic, the new social contract that rose from this spirit of “living together” is still in penury. The author examines the principal obstacles on the way to building freedom: namely, the inclusion of a large number of the excluded, which implies the dismantling of misery and the promotion of learning; the institution of authority through law and responsibility which presupposes the end of the “master” figure as a symbol of power, as well as that …
For Whom Does The Bell Toll: The Bell Tolls For Brown?, Angela Onwuachi-Willig
For Whom Does The Bell Toll: The Bell Tolls For Brown?, Angela Onwuachi-Willig
Faculty Scholarship
This review essay analyzes Derrick Bell's provocative new book, Silent Covenants: Brown v. Board of Education and the Unfulfilled Hopes for Racial Reform (2004). In Silent Covenants, Professor Bell reviews Brown v. Board of Education, and inquires "whether another approach than the one embraced by the Brown decision might have been more effective and less disruptive in the always-contentious racial arena." Specifically, Professor Bell joins black conservatives in critiquing what he describes as a misguided focus on achieving racial balance in schools and argues that the quality of education for minority children, in particular Blacks, would have been better today …
The High School Attainment Credit: A Tax Credit Encouraging Students To Graduate From High School, David Richard Hansen
The High School Attainment Credit: A Tax Credit Encouraging Students To Graduate From High School, David Richard Hansen
ExpressO
High school dropouts are a serious problem facing America today. High school dropouts are more likely to be unemployed, earn less money when employed, place a larger burden on the government by requiring public assistance (welfare), and are more likely to be prone to a life of crime and violence than high school completers. While government at all levels continues to focus on schools and teachers in solving the dropout problem, this paper shows how parents are where the focus should lie. This paper proposes a revolutionary tax credit, the High School Attainment Credit (“HSAC”), which would cost-effectively eradicate the …

The Children Left Behind: Roma Access To Education In Contemporary Romania, Aram A. Schvey, Martin S. Flaherty, Tracy E. Higgins
The Children Left Behind: Roma Access To Education In Contemporary Romania, Aram A. Schvey, Martin S. Flaherty, Tracy E. Higgins
Crowley Mission Reports
In Romania, Roma children are nearly always educated in more poorly resourced schools than non-Roma children; they are nearly always educated by less-qualified teachers; and they are often treated differently—and worse—than non-Roma children by their principals, teachers, and classmates. While non-Roma children move ahead through Romania’s education system, Roma children are too often left behind. This Report begins with a synopsis of the problem. It then examines the roots of the plight of the Roma in general and of Roma children in particular. The Report then outlines the particular findings of the Mission and sets forth the relevant domestic, international, …

Comparative Perspectives On The Office Of Chief Justice, J. Clifford Wallace
Comparative Perspectives On The Office Of Chief Justice, J. Clifford Wallace
Cornell International Law Journal
A comparative study of the duties & activities of Chief Justices indicates that there is considerable variability in the approach of Chief Justices to such things as judicial administration, oversight, & representation. Information was obtained from an informal survey of Chief Justices from 27 countries who were attending a June 2003 Conference of Chief Justices of Asia & the Pacific. Special attention is given to three key aspects of global judicial education: information transmission, training, & peer exchange. The survey responses indicated that Chief Justices encounter similar challenges & share common purposes; however, there are substantial differences in the extent …
Race, Trust, Altruism, And Reciprocity, George W. Dent
Race, Trust, Altruism, And Reciprocity, George W. Dent
Faculty Publications
Trust, altruism and reciprocity are attracting growing attention from scholars. Interest began with psychological experiments showing that people often are altruistic, trust others, and reciprocate the benevolence of others far more than economic models of "rational" human selfishness predict. These findings inspired social scientists to discover what factors promote or hinder cooperation. Legal scholars have employed this learning to determine how the law does or could facilitate or discourage cooperation in many contexts, including business transactions and the workplace. The influence of race on cooperation has been studied in specific areas, but so far no one has considered how the …

Should Antitrust Education Be Mandatory (For Law School Administrators)?, Thom Lambert, Royce De R. Barondes
Should Antitrust Education Be Mandatory (For Law School Administrators)?, Thom Lambert, Royce De R. Barondes
Faculty Publications
The purpose of this essay is merely to examine the pertinent antitrust issues. The essay proceeds on the assumption that the AALS policy, whose terms are precatory, speaks to what is in fact an agreement among law schools. As noted below, the policy itself contemplates that law school deans will seek waivers, in individual cases, extending the time periods for up to two months. Were the policy to be litigated, law schools might dispute the existence of an agreement. We believe, though, that the nature of the policy strongly suggests that it represents an agreement among law schools and that …
Large Law Firms And Their Role In The Educational Continuum Of Lawyers, Paula A. Patton
Large Law Firms And Their Role In The Educational Continuum Of Lawyers, Paula A. Patton
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article examines the ways in which large law firms have served as educators. Furthermore, the Author considers how law firm efforts as educators might be enhanced. The paper looks at the necessity for law firms to continue to educate their associates and the motivation for associate training. The author proposes that law firms must embrace comprehensive strategies that impart performance standards, benchmarks, and core competencies through experiential training.
