Rhetorical Knowledge In Legal Practice And Theory, Francis J. Mootz Iii Jan 1998

Rhetorical Knowledge In Legal Practice And Theory, Francis J. Mootz Iii

Scholarly Works

Rhetorical Knowledge in Legal Practice and Critical Legal Theory has just been published by the University of Alabama Press as part of its series, Rhetoric, Culture and Social Critique. My central themes are that rhetorical knowledge - however imperfectly pursued and attained - is a feature of social life; that rhetorical knowledge plays an important role in legal practice; and that legal critique is appropriately grounded by the normative injunction to maximize the generation of and reliance on rhetorical knowledge in the administration of justice by legal actors. If nothing else, I want to make clear that by recovering and …


Children's Memory : The Effects Of Suggestive Questioning On The Eyewitness Reports Of Five And Six Year Old Students, Rosemary Corinne Scott-Moore Jan 1998

Children's Memory : The Effects Of Suggestive Questioning On The Eyewitness Reports Of Five And Six Year Old Students, Rosemary Corinne Scott-Moore

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This study examined kindergarten children's (N=18) eyewitness reports and the effects of suggestive questioning. Five- and six year- olds were interviewed repeatedly after a visitor came to their classroom in one of the following conditions: (a) suggestion, which received misleading suggestive questioning one time per week for three consecutive weeks following the incident, and a final 2 interview fifteen weeks after the incident; (b) increased suggestion, which received false suggestive interviews one time per week for three consecutive weeks following the event, and a final interview fifteen weeks after the initial event; and (c) triple suggestion, which received misleading suggestive …


Three Positivisms, Robin West Jan 1998

Three Positivisms, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this article, I accept and hope to expand upon the conventional consensus view that The Path of the Law is a brief for an Americanized version of Austinian legal positivism and for the "separation" of law and morality that is at its core. I also want to show, however, that the distinctive accomplishment of this Essay is its literary ambiguity: Both its explicit arguments for the positivist separation of law and morality, and the three enduring metaphors Holmes uses to make the case -- (1) the "bad man" from whose perspective we can clearly view the law; (2) the …


An Analysis Of The Relationship Between Self-Esteem And Parental Configuration In Adult Male Felony Offenders, Dawn C. Sokolik Jan 1998

An Analysis Of The Relationship Between Self-Esteem And Parental Configuration In Adult Male Felony Offenders, Dawn C. Sokolik

Theses

The parental configuration of families has become a topic of increasing interest in the latter part of the twentieth century. Examination of divorce rates reveal that the structure of the family is ever-changing. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between self-esteem and criminal offenders and how the structure of one's parental influence effects criminal activity. The types of parental configurations used within this study are as follows: Mother, Father, Mother and Father, or Biological Parent and Stepparent. The self-esteem scores of offenders incarcerated in a medium-security correctional institution for both violent and non-violent offenses were sampled …

Cynicism, Reconsidered, Pauline Kim Jan 1998

Cynicism, Reconsidered, Pauline Kim

Scholarship@WashULaw

Occasionally I encounter among students the suspicion that law is nothing but politics. In the field in which I teach-employment law-this attitude amounts to the cynical belief that if judges (or at least those judges hostile to workers) can possibly find a way for the employee to lose and the employer to win, they will do so. While I must admit my own misgivings about the extent to which doctrine and precedent actually decide cases, I push these students to try to understand case outcomes as something other than pure politics. Believing that it is important for law students, as …
