Central Feud In Njáls Saga., William I. Miller
Central Feud In Njáls Saga., William I. Miller
Book Chapters
Njáls Saga is above all a story of feud, and a complicated one at that. This paper attempts to give sense to those aspects of the feud between the Sigfussons and the people at Bergporshvall most frequently perceived by readers to be glaring weaknesses in a nearly perfect work. I refer to the apparent lack of motivation for the killing of Hoskuldr Hvitanessgodi, an act which has universally appalled critics and commentators of the saga, and the ease with which Mordr Valgardsson is able to "trick" Skarphedinn, a person otherwise characterized by a brutal wit and penetrating intelligence. In what …
Conflict Resolution In Industrial Relations, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Conflict Resolution In Industrial Relations, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Book Chapters
Only about one-fifth of the American labor force is unionized. With certain important exceptions, therefore, no formal machinery exists to resolve the various disputes that arise between a majority of the country's workers and their employers. The exception, which will not be treated in detail in this study, relate to (1) the right to organize into unions, which has been protected in most of the private sector since 1935 by the National Labor Relations Act and in the public sector since the 1960s by federal law and regulation covering U.S. Government employees and by statutes in about thirty states covering …
An Introduction To The American Criminal Justice Process, Jerold H. Israel
An Introduction To The American Criminal Justice Process, Jerold H. Israel
Book Chapters
A useful description of the American criminal justice process must begin by acknowledging that there is no single set of criminal justice procedures applied uniformly throughout this country. Variations exist both from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from one type of case to another within the same jurisdiction. In our overview, we will take note of a few of the more significant variations, but our primary focus will be on the procedural pattern followed for most cases in most jurisdictions. In this section, we will briefly examine three structural elements that account for many of the variations in the process. If …
Dispute Resolution Between The General Motors Corporation And The United Automobile Workers, 1970-1982, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Dispute Resolution Between The General Motors Corporation And The United Automobile Workers, 1970-1982, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Book Chapters
At the end of 1982 the active membership of the United Automobile Workers stood at 1.25 million workers, belonging to about 1,600 local unions in the United States and Canada. There were 1.14 million Americans and 115,000 Canadians. Women accounted for 170,000 memberships in the two countries. A fifth or more of the total may have been retired members. The UAW ranks as the largest manufacturing union, ahead of the United Steelworkers, but behind three unions representing truckers, school teachers, and retail employees. Substantially all the blue-collar workers in the domestic auto industry have been organized, the vast majority by …
Independent Representation Of Children In Protection Proceedings, Donald N. Duquette
Independent Representation Of Children In Protection Proceedings, Donald N. Duquette
Book Chapters
In civil child protection proceedings in the United States, children are independently represented by an advocate, usually a lawyer. A growing debate is underway as to what the role of that independent advocate ought to be and who ought to fulfil it. This paper summarizes current research in the U.S. on independent representation of the child, identifies some policy choices in defining the role of the child advocate, and suggests approaches to developing meaningful empirical measures of advocacy.
The University And The Aims Of Professional Education, Terrance Sandalow
The University And The Aims Of Professional Education, Terrance Sandalow
Book Chapters
The graduate schools of elite American universities, Daniel Bell wrote not many years ago (though before "elite" had become a term of opprobrium), stand at the center of their parent institutions, a position from which they dominate not only American higher education but, increasingly, the intellectual life of the nation. Michigan was, of course, high on Bell's list of elite universities, and it is, therefore, fitting that we mark the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of its graduate school as an occasion worthy of celebration.
