Citizen Soldiers: The North Carolina Volunteers And The War On Poverty, Robert R. Korstad, James L. Leloudis
Citizen Soldiers: The North Carolina Volunteers And The War On Poverty, Robert R. Korstad, James L. Leloudis
Law and Contemporary Problems
During the summers of 1964 and 1965, more than 300 college students fanned out across the state of North Carolina in a bold campaign to defeat poverty and, as they saw it, to uplift the poor. Korstad and Leloudis trace the history of the North Carolina Fund's Volunteers program, provide an analysis of the contribution that those students made to fighting poverty in the state, and evaluate the impact of that experience on the lives of the Volunteers themselves.

Attorney-Client Relationships In Cyberspace: The Peril And The Promise, Catherine J. Lanctot
Attorney-Client Relationships In Cyberspace: The Peril And The Promise, Catherine J. Lanctot
Duke Law Journal
Despite the legal profession's historical resistance to technological advances, the burgeoning world of cyberspace is bringing change to the practice of law. As laypeople flock to the Internet to seek help with their legal problems, lawyers are going online to provide such assistance. Yet, these exchanges are occurring without close consideration of whether they create attorney-client relationships-the source of weighty ethical and legal obligations. In many cases, lawyers seek to avoid the consequences of such relationships merely by disclaiming their existence. In this Article, Professor Lanctot examines the issue of lawyer-layperson communications in cyberspace from doctrinal and historical perspectives. The …

The Effects Of Volunteering On The Volunteer, John Wilson, Marc Musick
The Effects Of Volunteering On The Volunteer, John Wilson, Marc Musick
Law and Contemporary Problems
Wilson and Musick review some of the research on the supposed benefits of volunteering and describe briefly some of the results of their own work in this area. There is little doubt that there are individual benefits to be derived from doing volunteer work that reach far beyond the volunteer act itself and may linger long after the volunteer role is relinquished.
The Effective Use Of Volunteers: Best Practices For The Public Sector, Jeffrey L. Brudney
The Effective Use Of Volunteers: Best Practices For The Public Sector, Jeffrey L. Brudney
Law and Contemporary Problems
Brudney posits a relationship between the best practices and the benefits realized from volunteer involvement. A volunteer program in the public sector is sponsored by a government agency and, thus, occurs in an organizational context; remuneration is not provided for volunteers' contributions, but reimbursement for their expenses is permitted; the time is given freely, yet volunteers may certainly benefit as well, and the work fulfills ongoing responsibilities of the host agency.

Volunteering In Cross-National Perspective: Initial Comparisons, Helmut K. Anheier, Lester M. Salamon
Law and Contemporary Problems
Anheier and Salamon shed some light on volunteering in different parts of the world by exploring the conceptions and patterns of voluntary action cross-nationally. As a cultural and economic phenomenon, volunteering is part of the way societies are organized, how they allocate social responsibilities, and how much engagement and participation they expect from citizens.

Senate Trials And Factional Disputes: Impeachment As A Madisonian Device, Jonathan Turley
Senate Trials And Factional Disputes: Impeachment As A Madisonian Device, Jonathan Turley
Duke Law Journal
In this Article, Professor Turley addresses the use of impeachment, specifically the Senate trial, as a method of resolving factional disputes about an impeached official's legitimacy to remain in office. While the Madisonian democracy was designed to regulate factional pressures, academics and legislators often discuss impeachments as relatively static events focused solely on removal. Alternatively, impeachment is sometimes viewed as an extreme countermajoritarian measure used to "reverse" or "nullify" the popular election of a President. This Article advances a more dynamic view of the Senate trial as a Madisonian device to resolve factional disputes. This Article first discusses the history …

The Purposes And Accountability Of The Corporation In Contemporary Society: Corporate Governance At A Crossroads, Michael Bradley, Cindy A. Schipani, Anant K. Sundaram, James P. Walsh
Law and Contemporary Problems
Little attention has been paid to how the governance structures of public corporations adapt to structural changes in the social, political, economic and legal environments in which they operate. Bradley et al chronicle the recent changes in the conduct of business enterprise and establish the necessary conditions for a system of corporate governance capable of accommodating these changes.

Banded Contracts, Mediating Institutions, And Corporate Governance: A Naturalist Analysis Of Contractual Theories Of The Firm, Timothy L. Fort, James J. Noone
Banded Contracts, Mediating Institutions, And Corporate Governance: A Naturalist Analysis Of Contractual Theories Of The Firm, Timothy L. Fort, James J. Noone
Law and Contemporary Problems
Fort and Noone relate business ethics to notions of transcendence found in nature and anthropology. They address the notion of contracts within corporate legal theory because contracts are used as a model both by those who advocate minimalist, agency business duties and by others who propound a broad business ethic.
