The Legalization And Control Of Casino Gambling, Nelson Rose

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article seeks to demonstrate that the spread of legalized gambling is inevitable as states recognize the immense revenue generating capabilities of casinos. However, in order to realize these revenues and take advantage of them, without incurring the potential negative social side affects, states must control and regulate casinos. Thus, this article examines, through their theoretical structure and practical realities, the four different methods for legalized casino gambling regulation: (1) Nevada's free enterprise model; (2) New Jersey's and Puerto Rico's tourist area revitalization model; (3) England's strict social control model; and (4) the model of complete or partial state ownership.

Federal Legislative Proposals For The Protection Of Privacy , Ludmila Kaniuga-Golad

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Previously, privacy rights had to be litigated under one of the four recognized tort claim of actions. With the advent of the computer age, it was argued that new causes of actions should be created to supplement the individually recognized privacy rights of the people. At the time this article was written, several privacy related bills were before congress. The note examines the benefits of the bills proposed, and the (justified) failure of the proposals to consider a single federal information data bank due to its inability to safeguard privacy. It also synopsizes the Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights' findings on …

An Assessment Of Alternative Strategies For Increasing Access To Legal Services, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

Since the late 1930s, lawyers have argued that their services are not used to the fullest advantage by a large segment of the population. More recently, other concerned groups such as trade unions and consumer organizations also have become convinced that there is an underutilization of lawyers' services, and that it is important to increase access to such services. As a result, attempts have been made to develop alternatives to the traditional methods of providing legal services that to date have proved inadequate in meeting the legal needs of the public. Legal clinics have proliferated, prepaid legal services plans have …

Extradition Between France And The United States: An Exercise In Comparative And International Law, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

In 1878 Cardaillac defined extradition as “the right for a State on the territory of which an accused or convicted person has take refuge, to deliver him up to another State wich has requisitioned his return and is competent to judge and punish him.” The term “extradition” was imported to the United States from France, where the decret-loi of Febraury 19, 1791, appears to be the first official document to have used the term. The term is not found in treaties or conventions until 1828. The Latin equivalent to extradition, “tradere”, is not found in early Latin works, but the …

Remarks Of Warren E. Burger, Chief Justice Of The United States, At The Dedication Of The Norton Clapp Law Center, Warren E. Burger

Seattle University Law Review

Thirty-five years ago the American historian, Henry Steele Commager, wrote that: "Nothing in all history succeeded like America." He was not speaking simply of the success of our unique political experiment or of our remarkable productivity, wealth, and material prosperity, but more of the flowering of the human spirit under the system of freedom that we established two centuries ago. Why was this so? The real meaning can be understood better as we see oppressed people in all parts of the world making a beaten path to our shores—the "Boat People" of Vietnam and Cambodia, and the newer "Boat People" …

Liability And Damages In Libel And Slander Law, Melinda J. Branscomb

Faculty Articles

This article discusses the traditional law of defamation, with particular emphasis on standards of liability and proof of compensatory damages, and points out inconsistencies in these rules and problems with their application. It analyzes two major Supreme Court decisions that concern libel of public figures and officials and libel of private-citizen plaintiffs. This article then discusses three recent Tennessee cases and their impact upon the state's defamation law. It finds that a less complex, more uniform law of defamation is needed in light of the intricacies of traditional defamation law and its recent changes at the Supreme Court and state …

The Oral Component Of Appellate Work, T. W. Wakeling

Dalhousie Law Journal

Anyone who haunts the courtrooms of North America will find advocates of uneven quality. 1 There are master craftsmen but alongside them labour colleagues blessed with skills which escape the observer's scrutiny. Unfortunately, the latter category has been the subject of considerable attention lately with the result there is the impression about that poor advocates have cornered a disproportionate share of the market. Even Canadian and American judges have felt it necessary to question the competence of some practioners. Chief Justice Burger directed his serious charges at the trial lawyers but the appellate bar, the subject of this study, has …

Voltaire And The Cowboy: The Letters Of Thurman Arnold, Susan Sherwin

Dalhousie Law Journal

Who was Thurman Arnold? A flamboyant character from Laramie, Wyoming, who first achieved national prominence in the late 1930s when, at that time a professor at the Yale Law School, he published his brilliant and provocative The Folklore of Capitalism. A man equally at home in the world of action and the world of ideas, who went on to become, successively, Franklin D. Roosevelt's man in charge of trust-busting, a judge on a federal circuit court of appeal and senior partner in a firm of corporation lawyers in Washington but did not cease stirring people up by public speeches, articles …

Conditional Liberation (Parole) In France, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

Anglo-American parole owes its theoretical development and its early systematization, indeed its very existence, to France. It has been said that France has the genius of invention, but that too often the great ideas born in France are neglected there to find their baptism of success in other countries. This remark characterizes the history of the parole concept in France. Yet, the latest innovations being developed in France portend new possibilities for success in the rehabilitation of convicts. This section will trace briefly the history of conditional liberation the French counterpart of Anglo-American parole, and describe the development of the …

Warrantless Searches Of Automobiles In Virginia, Keith L. Phillips

University of Richmond Law Review

Most people consider automobiles to be a safe place to store personal effects. But just as innocent articles can be kept in automobiles, so can contraband or other evidence of crime. Thus, courts have had to apply the law of search and seizure-which once spoke primarily to the security of the home-to a new setting. The courts treatment has not always been consistent. With a proper warrant, the search of an automobile is valid; but the more perplexing question is, "When is such a search valid without a warrant?" This comment attempts to answer that question, in part, by surveying …

What Counts Is How The Game Is Scored: One Way To Increase Achievement In Learning Mathematics, Layman E. Allen, Gloria Jackson, Joan Ross, Stuart White

Articles

Pior investigation indicates that instructional gaming can be an effective tool for enhancing both motivation and achievement in the learning of mathematics. This study explores the extent to which the effectiveness of instructional gaming in facilitating the learning of specific mathematical ideas can be increased by incorporating devices that channel learners’ attention upon those ideas. In particular, the effect of channeling attention by changing the method of scoring is explored.

The Solicitor General And Intragovernmental Conflict, Michigan Law Review

The New Principle Of Law Reform In Australia, Alex. C. Castles

Dalhousie Law Journal

Until comparatively recent times, continuous, systematic law reform has not been favoured with strong support in those countries nurtured in the common law tradition. In particular, many lawyers in Australia, as elsewhere in the common law world, have tended, for the most part,' to be suspicious and perhaps, subconsciously, more than a little fearful of legal evolution through legislative action rather than judge-made law. This state of mind has belied the realities of the twentieth century life of the law and in many ways as well, the thrust of the law as it evolved in common law countries in the …

The Disposition Process Under The Juveniles Justice Standards Project, Stanley Z. Fisher

Faculty Scholarship

The Juvenile Justice Standards Project volumes were publicly discussed for months prior to their publication. Unavoidably, much of the discussion was based upon rumor regarding their contents. In that context, critics charged that the proposed Standards would "destroy the nation's juvenile court system and replace it with a 'junior criminal system' "1 and claimed that the Standards substitute the philosophy of "just deserts" for the traditional rehabilitative goals of juvenile justice.' The news media described the Standards on disposition of delinquents as designed to "fit the penalty to the crime, no matter what the age of the perpetrator. '3 I …
