Community Service Programs In High Schools, Sally A. Raskoff, Richard A. Sundeen
Community Service Programs In High Schools, Sally A. Raskoff, Richard A. Sundeen
Law and Contemporary Problems
Raskoff and Sundeen examine youth socialization and civic participation through community service among high school students, with special focus on California. The look at high school community service programs --their practices, their collaborative relations with community organizations for which the students volunteer, and the perspectives of students regarding their participation in these school-sponsored programs.
The Constitutionality Of Mandatory Public School Community Service Programs, Rodney A. Smolla
The Constitutionality Of Mandatory Public School Community Service Programs, Rodney A. Smolla
Law and Contemporary Problems
Constitutional challenges to community service programs may be divided into two generic types--those raised by students or parents who object to the requirement of community service, and those raised by students, parents, organizations, or agencies who object to the selection criteria used to include or exclude organizations or agencies eligible to participate in community service programs.
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.

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.

Making The Most Of Volunteers, Jean Baldwin Grossman, Kathryn Furano
Law and Contemporary Problems
Grossman and Furano discuss the elements that experience has shown need to be in place to allow volunteers to be most effective. Drawing from research on mentoring and youth service over the past twenty years, they explore effective volunteer practices, illustrating them with evaluation data and practical examples.

The Trust Offshore, Antony G.D. Duckworth
The Trust Offshore, Antony G.D. Duckworth
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
I was not present at the birth of the offshore financial centers or of their trust business, but I am told that the mother was taxation. Perhaps that is an oversimplification, but I do not doubt that taxation was the major influence. The typical settlor was a taxpayer from one of the major common law countries, and his primary motive for going offshore was tax avoidance. But there were also a few settlors from other places, some motivated by estate planning considerations (the trust allowing them to make property arrangements which could not be made at home), some by fear …
The Best And The Brightest?: Canadian Law School Admissions, Dawna Tong, W. Wesley Pue
The Best And The Brightest?: Canadian Law School Admissions, Dawna Tong, W. Wesley Pue
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article assesses the admissions policies commonly employed by law faculties in common law Canada. These faculties rely heavily on admissions criteria and policies developed in the United States and, like their American counterparts, typically admit students on the basis of "index scores" produced by combining Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) performance with Undergraduate Grade Point Average (UGPA). The appropriateness of this American model to the Canadian context has never been rigorously assessed. This raises serious questions as to whether Canadian law school admissions policies serve either of their stated goals of finding the "best" students or of advancing social …
Class War: Ontario Teachers And The Courts, Harry J. Glasbeek
Class War: Ontario Teachers And The Courts, Harry J. Glasbeek
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
In 1997, the government of Ontario met with unexpected opposition to its changes to the education system with the introduction of Bill 160, the Education Quality Improvement Act, culminating in a province-wide strike by teachers. In reaction, the government sought to divert the conflict into the courts. Although the teachers were initially successful in court, the strike was not, and many of the strikers' objectives were not met. The author argues that the law of injunctions and collective bargaining shifted and narrowed the scope of the conflict, and reduced the political power of the teachers. The litigation surrounding Bill 160 …
Better Settle Than Sorry: The Regret Aversion Theory Of Litigation Behavior, Chris Guthrie
Better Settle Than Sorry: The Regret Aversion Theory Of Litigation Behavior, Chris Guthrie
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Legal scholars have developed two dominant theories of litigation behavior: the Economic Theory of Suit and Settlement,which is based on expected utility theory, and the Framing Theory of Litigation, which is based on prospect theory. While Professor Guthrie acknowledges the explanatory power of these theories, he argues that they are flawed because they portray litigants solely as calculating creatures. These theories disregard any role emotion might play in litigation decision making. Guthrie proposes a mplementary theory-the Regret Aversion Theory of Litigation Behavior-that views litigants as both calculating and emotional creatures. With roots in economics, cognitive psychology, and social psychology, the …
Alj Final Orders On Appeal: Balancing Independence With Accountability, Jim Rossi
Alj Final Orders On Appeal: Balancing Independence With Accountability, Jim Rossi
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
This essay addresses how ALJ final order authority in many state systems of administrative governance (among them Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, and South Carolina) poses a tension between independence and accountability. It is argued that political accountability is sacrificed where reviewing courts defer to ALJ final orders on issues of law and policy. Standards of review provide state courts with a way of restoring the balance between independence and accountability, but reviewing courts should heighten the deference they give to the agency's legal and policy positions -- giving little or no deference to the ALJ on these issues -- even where …
Smoking Status And Public Responses To Ambiguous Scientific Risk Evidence, W. Kip Viscusi, Wesley A. Magat, Joel Huber
Smoking Status And Public Responses To Ambiguous Scientific Risk Evidence, W. Kip Viscusi, Wesley A. Magat, Joel Huber
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Situations in which individuals receive information seldom involve scientific consensus over the level of the risk. When scientific experts disagree, people may process the information in an unpredictable manner. The original data presented here for environmental risk judgments indicate a tendency to place disproportionate weight on the high risk assessment, irrespective of its source, particularly when the experts disagree. Cigarette smokers differ in their risk information processing from nonsmokers in that they place less weight on the high risk judgment when there is a divergence in expert opinion. Consequently, they are more likely to simply average competing risk assessments.
The Governmental Composition Of The Insurance Costs Of Smoking, W. Kip Viscusi
The Governmental Composition Of The Insurance Costs Of Smoking, W. Kip Viscusi
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The estimated health risks from smoking have significant external financial consequences for society. Studies at the national level indicate that cigarettes are self-financing since external costs such as those due to illnesses are offset by cost savings associated with premature death, chiefly pension costs. This paper extends this analysis to all 50 states and considers the costs considered in the state attorneys general suits against the cigarette industry. Cigarettes are always self-financing from the standpoint of costs to each state. The extent of the cost savings is less than at the federal level. However, smokers' higher medical costs are outweighed …
Using Warnings To Extend The Boundaries Of Consumer Sovereignty, W. Kip Viscusi
Using Warnings To Extend The Boundaries Of Consumer Sovereignty, W. Kip Viscusi
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
We make decisions every day for which we may not have full information. Not all such decisions lead to negative consequences, however. For example, scientists still know very little about why aspirin has its beneficial effects. However, the lack of our knowledge does not necessarily imply that our decisions are in error or that our freedom to make these decisions should be constrained. Almost invariably, we must make decisions with uncertain implications when we fail to have complete information, whether it be with respect to today's weather forecast or the chemical composition of the foods we eat, but this does …
