Sports - Dynamic Duos
Sports - Dynamic Duos
The Detroit Tigers are on fire in the American League breathing down the neck of division leading Chicago. Last nights win against the Yankees moved them one half game out of first place. After Monday nights win against New York I had an e mail from my pal Jim Green who lives in Detroit and happens to be a huge fan of all Detroit sports teams, reminding me the Detroit Tigers had a new "dynamic duo" of sports, slugger Prince Fielder and starting pitcher Justin Verlander. I can't disagree with my friend Jim. Over the years, baseball, as have our other pro sports, have had many outstanding "dynamic duos" who carried their teams to World Series, NFL Super Bowl, NBA Championships and Stanley Cup victories. Recently sport fans voted for their top-ten "Dynamic Duos." Here's their selection from #1 to #10 - See if you agree.
Babe Ruth - Lou Gehrig - MLB
Scottie Pippen - Michael Jordan - NBA
John Stockton - Karl Malone - NBA
Sandy Koufax - Don Drysdale - MLB
Wayne Gretzky - Mark Messier - NHL
Kobe Bryant - Shaquille O'Neil - NBA
Lou Whitaker - Alan Trammell - MLB
Marvin Harrison - Peyton Manning - NFL
Mario Lemieux - Jaromir Jagr - NHL
I know many of you will say "how can they leave off the "dynamic duo" list players like New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and receiver Randy Moss?
Colt fans will scream, "what about quarterback Johnny Unitas and receiver Raymond Berry?"
Baseball fans will shout, "what about Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling of the Diamondbacks?"
Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine when they pitched for the Atlanta Braves? Or, how do you leave off the list Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain the pitching duo who led the Boston Braves to the 1948 pennant? Still older baseball fans shout, "how do you leave off the list Satchel Paige and Hilton Smith, great pitchers of the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro league?" The Monarchs won six Negro American League pennants from 1937-1943 with Paige and Smith leading the way.
Add the voices of basketball fans screaming "where's Bill Russell and John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics, the driving forces to most of the Celtics NBA titles? Where's Elgin Baylor and Jerry West of the Lakers or Walt Frazier and Willis Reed of the Knicks? How do you leave off the list Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson of the Lakers? Hockey fans, "how do you ignore the play of Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay of the Red Wings? Both in the Hall of Fame, both led the league in scoring, Howe six times, both legendary tough guys. How do you leave Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita of the Chicago Blackhawks off a "dynamic duo" list? Both players NHL scoring machines.
If Prince Fielder and Justin Verlander lead Detroit to the playoffs and World Series, expect my friend Jim to give the Tiger stars first place on Sports "dynamic duos" list. It's even possible the Tiger stars may pass Jim's all-time boy-hood "dynamic duos" heroes, "Batman and Robin."
(Okay - "maybe not!")

How to Decorate a Shared Room with Dividers
For kids who share a room, nothing is better at alleviating arguments than a simple room divider. Decorative dividers are a nonpermanent solution for giving privacy to everyone who shares a room. You can also use room dividers to establish personal space in a college dorm and section off studio apartments.
Decorative Screen Buying Guide
Decorative screens are both ornamental and practical. You can use decorative screens simply as decorative accessories to complement your home decor, or they can be used for many practical purposes as well, such as covering windows or defining spaces in a room. This decorative screen buying guide will give you some beautiful and functional design ideas and help you figure out how to buy the decorative screens that are right for you.
How to Decorate a Bare Wall
Decorating a bare wall may seem like an easy task, but the fact is an empty canvas sometimes intimidates would-be decorators. The key to making a bare wall into the focal point of a room is the right decorative accessories. Turn your bare wall into a pleasing backdrop or an extension of a decor theme in the room. A bare wall can also feature decorative accessories that blend form and function, such as lighting, floating shelves or a mirror.
How to Update Your Bedroom with Luxury Comforters
When you want to update your bedroom, one of the simplest ways to do so is by changing the bedding. By adding luxury comforters to a bed, not only do you create a relaxing and luxurious getaway for yourself, but the room transforms as well. No matter what decor you already have or the color of the room, you have plenty of options with luxury comforters. Look below to learn how to update your bedroom with luxury comforters.
How to Create a Bishop's Sleeve Window Treatment
A bishop's sleeve window treatment is a single curtain panel that has been tied in several places to make it look like the billowing sleeve seen on formal bishop's sleeve blouses, which is fuller at the top and gathered at the end. A bishop's sleeve window treatment looks best in formal living rooms or dining rooms and can be done easily using curtains you already have. You can create this look yourself in a matter of minutes.
How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.
How to Adjust Tension Rods
Curtains are a great way to accent the decor in every room in the house. Tension rods, also called spring rods, are curtain hardware which allow you to hang window curtains, wall curtains or shower curtains without installing curtain rod hardware on the walls. If an existing tension rod slips or if you want to change the curtain panels or add curtain rings, you may need to remove and adjust the rod before putting it back in place. Tension rods are positioned between two facing surfaces, such as the interior frame of a window or the opposing sides of a shower cubicle.
Area Rug Styles Buying Guide

How To Sew a Canvas Bag
Canvas bags have always been a popular choice for beach gear, baby supplies and casual purses, as they are well-liked for their durability. The recent upswing in environmental awareness has also made canvas totes a must-have replacement for traditional paper and plastic shopping bags. Canvas is strong and easily washed, and it is a natural, breathable fabric that lasts a long time.

Couples with a do-it-yourself attitude often apply their creativity and artistic flair to the wedding decor, especially if they are on a budget.

When choosing bathroom window treatments, you may want to keep a couple of practical considerations in mind. Unlike other rooms in the house, the bathroom windows present special challenges concerning privacy and humidity. The best window decor ideas for bathrooms are those that provide sufficient privacy and can withstand moisture from steamy showers and baths.
How to Size Your Room For an Area Rug
A rug in the right size can complement the whole room, accent furnishings, bring life to a dull room, or make a subtle statement. However, if it's too big or too small, it may leave the impression of an unfinished or poorly decorated room. Before you start shopping for area rugs, you'll want to size the room. This guide will help you to select the right size rug in any room.
Bookshelves Buying Guide
Despite the name, bookshelves are about more than just shelving books. Bookshelves make versatile solutions as free-standing dry food pantries, open dressers or displays dedicated to your knick-knacks and tchochkes. They quickly convert into china cabinets, media organizers or shoe storage. Whatever the case, the right bookcase goes miles toward making your home into the haven it should be.

In-Line Stereo Ground Loop Isolator
Compact stereo line transformer prevents signal interference and 60Hz hum caused from ground loop issues between components. Often when laptops or other portable devices are connected to battery chargers or AC cords, and to separate audio equipment such as stereo receivers, amplifiers or similar, ground loops occur causing noticeable hum or buzzing in the speakers. This simple inline device prevents that.

Lois M. Collins: Immigrants, refugees can choose which aspects of culture to assimilate
"Communities that have been here two or three or four generations have a place to go to teach their children about their heritage," says Sanders, who sees many of them in the Windy City. It's especially popular among European communities.
The Polish museum hosts a Scout troop. The German cultural center hosts tons of classes for kids and language and culture classes for adults. The new Hellenic museum teaches all things Greek.
By choice or by force
Assimilation is different as well, depending on how one came to be here. Heritage is a tougher issue for refugees, Sanders says, than for immigrants. Immigrants chose to be here and may be more willing to move forward and let go of the past. Refugees were catapulted here, more often not of their own doing, and may cling more to their native ways.
Generations vary, too. When a family is here by choice, it can be scary to see children grow up with a different identity than their parents had. But it may devastate refugees, who didn't choose, notes Sanders.
The Cambodian community in Chicago, for instance, addresses openly the tension between generations and what they want for themselves.
Language is an area where great diversity plays out, although it's essential to assimilation. One mama pushes her kids to learn English and not speak the native tongue. Another forbids English at home, to preserve that native tongue.
When Tatjana Micic, a Bosnian refugee, talks about what's important to her family, language sits at the heart of it. Grammar is important. But her daughters, twins Alejsandra and Ivana, now 22, were not allowed to speak English at home. That is how they maintained fluency in their native tongue. They were 7 when the family came to America, starting second grade here.
One's grasp of English on arrival is key to how quickly one fits in, Micic says. Sudanese refugees already tend to know the language, as do a lot of Bosnians and people from former Yugoslavia. Folks from the former Soviet Union assimilate fast. But people from the Middle East face a distinct disadvantage. Even their alphabet is different.
And as Ngendakuriyo notes, refugees and immigrants in American schools are slotted into grades based on age, not language aptitude. So a child who is 15 may be placed directly into ninth or 10th grade, even though it is absolutely the first educational experience that child has ever had.

Birck hosts hands-on NanoDays for K-12 schools, general public
April 4, 2011
The fascinating, tiny world of nanotechnology will take center stage during the second annualNanoDays on April 15 and 16 at Discovery Park's Birck Nanotechnology Center.
Schools from throughout the area are invited to NanoDays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 15 at Birck Nanotechnology Center, located at 1205 W. State St. in West Lafayette. The Purdue event is open to the general public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 16.
NanoDays, co-sponsored by theNanoscale Informal Science Education Network, is a nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering and its potential impact on the future.
"During the second edition of Purdue's NanoDays, you'll see how nanomaterials are a part of advances in many technologies in our world today - from exciting breakthroughs in medicine, computing, sensing, energies and materials technology to cloaking and easy-to-clean trousers," said Monica Allain, Birck's managing director.
More than 400 people, including K-12 educators and students, participated in NanoDays 2010, and this year's turnout is expected to exceed 800 people, Allain said. Registration is encouraged by going online to http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/Nanotechnology/nanodays/
A team from Birck Nanotechnology Center is organizing this year's event, and nearly 150 undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of disciplines across campus are assisting.
Nanotechnology is the ability to measure, manipulate and manufacture objects between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter; a human hair is roughly 100,000 nanometers in diameter.
"Even though nanotechnology is all around us and becoming more evident in our daily lives, the concepts are hard to grasp for people without the scientific background," said Jeff Goecker, communication specialist at Birck. "The goal of NanoDays is for people of all ages to learn the basic concepts of nanotechnology in a fun and visually exciting environment."
Among the activities, games and demonstrations at Purdue NanoDays:
* Exploring Tools-SPM, a hands-on activity in which visitors use a flexible magnet as a model for a scanning probe microscope, a special tool that scientists use to work at the nanoscale level.
* Exploring Fabrication-Self-Assembly, which includes full-body interactive games about the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology. Visitors discover self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.
* Science Café lectures from Purdue and Birck researchers. Faculty on both days will give 20-minute mini-lectures, which are intended for audiences at the fifth-grade level and older. Topics include everything from Harry Potter's invisibility cloak to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Free parking for activities on April 16 is available in all A, B and C spots in the lot at the corner of Martin Jischke and Nimitz drives. Visitors on April 15 can park in the three southernmost rows of the lot and along the west side of Airport Road. Additional parking passes are available from Purdue's Visitor Information Center, 504 Northwestern Ave.
Primary sponsors are Indianapolis law firm Barnes and Thornburg LLC, Nanovis Inc., Purdue Research Foundation, Purdue Office of Engagement, NanoProfessor, Conexus Indiana and Verso Paper. Additional support comes from the National Science Foundation, Intel Corp., Qdoba Mexican Grill, AJ's Burgers and Beef, Mad Mushroom, Discovery Park and Birck.

Ready for 'something completely new'
Since he was 16 years old, Dr. Mark Lindquist has spent virtually his entire working career in a hospital emergency room -- first as an orderly, and later as a medical doctor.

I had a similar boat built by Merrimack Canoe Co. Fiberglass over wood ribs. The boat had some cracks from outside storage. It was definitely not as nice as yours. I got $450 for it. Yours ought to be worth $600-700, but you have to find the right person. Advertising is important.

Should people be required to know information about themselves that arises from their genetic test? This question is highly relevant given the NHS's plans to sequence 100,000 whole genomes before 2017. The approach to this issue in the USA generated significant opposition to requiring knowledge, on the basis that it interferes with autonomy. This piece presents a different perspective, arguing that requiring knowledge may not undermine the legal conception of autonomy, giving reason to doubt that it would be unlawful to require people to have genetic information about themselves. Following this, the piece presents an alternative principled position that might support a legal recognition of the interest in not having information about oneself; namely that of preventing personal harm. However, this approach runs into difficulties if the reasons for requiring knowledge are also based on preventing personal harm. The argument considers how interests might be balanced in this competing harms context.]]>
The abolition of the default retirement age is creating challenges for UK employers, and universities in particular. Operating without mandatory retirement may have consequences for performance management, the creation of opportunities for new generations of workers, the scope for workforce planning and employment costs. Drawing on comparative experiences of Australian universities, which have been operating without mandatory retirement since the 1990s, this paper critically examines whether these consequences have materialised in Australia. It draws out a number of lessons for UK universities from the Australian experience.]]>
The aim of this paper is to reframe the taxonomy debate which has, in recent years, come to dominate private law theory. We argue that the debate to date has been flawed by two fundamental mistakes. First, little attention has been paid to how legal taxonomies are actually used. This, we argue, is regrettable: how we build a taxonomy depends on why we build a taxonomy, and a clearer focus on this question produces an approach that is very different from the approaches that currently dominate private law theory. Secondly, both sides in the debate have misunderstood what legal concepts are, and hence tend to misuse them. We argue that legal concepts are Weberian ideal types, and use philosophical theories of concepts to put forward a very different understanding of how concepts acquire content and are used in the legal system. Putting these together, we argue for a far more developmental, and historically informed, approach to taxonomy and to legal concepts generally.]]>
This paper considers how employment laws are being used in response to what we have termed 'the eldercare–workplace conundrum'. It is well known that people are now living longer but health is still failing in a significant percentage of older people, meaning that many adults require care for longer, albeit to varying degrees and for varying amounts of time. Many of these individuals will receive care from relatives or close friends who are participating in the labour market: this is increasingly likely as adults are expected or want to remain in paid work for longer, often into their sixties and seventies. The requirements of elderly dependants can cause these workers huge difficulties and dilemmas as they attempt, across time, to accommodate the particular needs of the person for whom they wish to provide care, often a loved one, and meet the particular demands of their employment relationship. In this paper, we consider why this is an area of social policy that warrants effective legal engagement and consider, drawing on various examples of legal responses in other countries that face similar conundrums, what might improve legal engagement in this area.]]>
In 2012, the Ministry of Justice asked the Law Commission to examine the case for extending the racially and religiously aggravated offences in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, so that they also cover disability, sexual orientation and transgender identity. The terms of reference for the project were narrow, and did not include an examination of whether the existing offences are in need of reform. The Commission recommended that before a final decision is taken as to whether the offences should be extended, a full-scale review of the operation of the existing offences should be carried out. This paper contends that, in determining the future of the aggravated offences, consideration should be given to the procedural difficulties that can be encountered during the prosecution stage of the criminal process. The paper highlights a number of significant procedural problems that arise from the structure of the existing aggravated offences. These problems are largely related to alternative charges, whereby the prosecution charge both the aggravated offence and the lesser offence encompassed within it, and alternative verdicts, whereby the jury can convict of the lesser offence if the aggravated element is not proven. This paper argues that the procedural problems, coupled with a failure to properly understand the offences, can lead, and have led, to unfair outcomes. If the offences cannot be prosecuted effectively, they become little more than an empty gesture to those affected by hate crime, and this may be counterproductive. Procedural problems also put defendants at risk of wrongful conviction. The paper concludes that the preferred way forward would be to repeal the racially and religiously aggravated offences and rely on sentencing legislation to deal with hostility-based offending.]]>
Adapting the concept of 'interpersonal justice' used by Professor Robertson to provide a 'meta-doctrinal' defence of the law of negligence, this paper asks whether the personal injury system can be thought to have a democratic justification in common beliefs in such justice. It is widely acknowledged that the gross functional inadequacy of the personal injury system makes it implausible to claim that that system can be justified on grounds of compensation or deterrence. But that inadequacy makes it equally implausible to claim that common citizens would choose that system, which exists only because it is effectively compulsory. Constructing a market in first-person insurance would put the existence of the personal injury system to the test of actual choice.]]>
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 provides protection for whistleblowers; it does not place statutory obligations on regulators to act in response to whistleblowing concerns. Using Freedom of Information requests as a research methodology, this paper seeks to examine how whistleblowing is approached by regulators and what happens when a whistleblowing disclosure is made. Forty-eight national regulators in a variety of fields and 408 county, district and unitary local authorities with responsibility for the regulation of food were contacted. The paper begins by considering the importance of whistleblowing disclosures and how they are protected in PIDA. The examination of the law reveals that several organisations with important regulatory functions are not prescribed, and this has the potential to create inconsistencies in the protection of whistleblowers. The bulk of the paper examines the results of the Freedom of Information requests. By examining the results of these requests, it was possible to show that there are a number of inconsistencies in the way in which regulatory agencies handle concerns. Several changes to practice are suggested in order to ensure that the whistleblowers receive appropriate treatment and that the concerns that they express can be properly addressed.]]>
The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 purports to move away from the identification doctrine, towards a genuinely organisational model of corporate liability. There is a risk, however, that insistence upon the involvement of senior management in corporate manslaughter will reduce the Act to doing no more than aggregating individual misconduct. Such an approach would fail both to encompass the culpability of the organisation as more than just a collection of individuals, and to offer an effective tool for the prosecution of large organisations. I argue that the senior management requirement should not be interpreted as focusing on individuals, but on the authoritative systems of work that organisations impose upon their employees. Inherent in large organisations is a corporate structure, determining the meaning and value of what employees perceive and the boundaries and direction of their work. These structures emerge from the involvement of senior managers, whose rank and role within organisations enables them to contribute to the development of corporate structure. Through insistence on the involvement of these corporate architects and surveyors, the 2007 Act may be seen to emphasise the role of the organisation in corporate manslaughter, identifying truly corporate culpability.]]>
The legal framework concerning liability of communication intermediaries for defamation is under-conceptualised. The paper thus develops a holistic doctrinal approach to liability of speech intermediaries, such as Internet service providers (ISPs), booksellers and newspaper vendors, for defamation. It views intermediary liability for defamatory speech against the backdrop of communication theory and freedom of expression doctrine. If properly conceptualised, as suggested in this paper, the law of defamation can accommodate the cyberspace-specific legislation in Arts 12–15 of the e-commerce Directive and s 5 of the Defamation Act 2013, as well as the innocent dissemination defence in s 1 of the Defamation Act 1996, now to be read together with s 10 of the Defamation Act 2013. The paper establishes six tenets of intermediary liability for defamatory content. In particular, it argues that 'publication' is to be conceptualised as a merely factual requirement for defamation, whereas the defence of 'innocent publication', also known as 'innocent dissemination', is a fault-based concept. Communication intermediaries are thus to be considered 'publishers', even if they have a merely automatic role in the publication process, but they may avail themselves of the defence of 'innocent publication'. This defence has to be applied in compliance with the human rights of the parties involved.]]>
In this paper, stimulated by the publication some years ago in France of a small book on medical reasoning, legal and medical reasoning are compared. The question that is asked is whether the differences between the two types of reasoning will permit one to have a better understanding of some of the methodological and epistemological issues associated with legal reasoning. It will be argued that although medical and legal reasoners do share things in common, legal reasoning, perhaps unlike medical reasoning, is actually concerned less with the explanation or even comprehension of texts or the facts of a dispute (explicatio causæ) and more with what will be termed the 'manipulation' of facts (accommodatio factorum). Lawyers purify and (or) construct 'virtual' factual situations out of perceived 'actual' factual situations in order to make them conform or not conform in an isomorphic way with factual situations implied by a legal text or precedent. Medical reasoning is equally complex but facts are read in a different way.]]>
It is often said that distributive justice has no place in private law. However, distributive justice considerations feature strongly in cases involving the remedies imposed over bribes gained in breach of fiduciary duty. This paper argues that courts should exercise structured discretion, guided by principles of distributive justice, in ascertaining the appropriate remedy. The distributive factors of desert, needs and equality should inform the determination of what remedy is apposite to provide justice in the circumstances.]]>
In the wake of the financial crisis, there has been much discussion about whether boards (particularly of banks) are sufficiently accountable. However, while a significant literature has grown up in relation to the study of accountability in various disciplines, particularly public administration and politics, in the field of corporate governance there has been little consideration of what accountability means or entails. This is problematic: without a clearer idea of the elusive concept of accountability, debates about board accountability may be at cross-purposes. It will be difficult to assess whether particular corporate governance mechanisms promote board accountability, and if not, why not. The lack of clarity can also mask accountability deficits. This paper addresses this gap, setting out why accountability is important and offering an account of what accountability means in the corporate governance context, focusing on board accountability, in order to provide a framework for future research.]]>
The doctrine of insurable interest grew out of eighteenth-century anxieties over fraudulent seafarers and habitual gamblers. It was created by the courts, entrenched by statute and remains in place to this day despite the fact that it serves no practical or legal purpose. It was hoped by many that, when the English Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission established their joint review of insurance contract law in 2006, the doctrine would be consigned to the proverbial dustbin of history. Eight years later, these hopes have been dashed. The doctrine is here to stay. This paper asks 'Why' and finds the answer to be elusive.]]>
This paper considers the influence of the Supreme Court decision in Jones v Kernott on subsequent cases. It focuses on situations with which Jones was not directly concerned, namely where there is only one legal owner of a home and a non-legal-owning cohabitant seeks to establish that he has an equitable interest in it under a common intention constructive trust. The paper argues that while judges have mostly accepted that Jones is relevant to such sole-owner cases, they have had few opportunities (and taken fewer) to move beyond the restrictive approach of Lloyds Bank plc v Rosset and allow novel outcomes in the light of Jones as yet. It is contended that this state of affairs could ultimately produce a conservative approach that is undesirable for cohabitants who make indirect or non-financial contributions to shared lives, and remain without comprehensive statutory property and financial provision on relationship breakdown.]]>
Based on a findings of a simulation study in which 160 members of the public observed a mini rape trial re-enactment and were then asked to deliberate in jury groups towards a unanimous verdict, this paper explores the extent to which participants were able, and willing, to understand and apply judicial directions, and the legal tests or criteria contained therein. More specifically, it reflects on whether the additional provision of written directions in the jury room influenced the tone or direction of jurors' discussions, and illustrates the limited recourse made by participants to their contents, as well as their tendency to misinterpret or misapply them when they were relied upon. Having done so, this paper moves on to explore the reasons behind this limited impact, suggesting that fundamental tensions may exist between legal and lay imaginaries, such that jurors are reluctant to jettison their more natural inclinations to reach individual and collective verdicts on the basis of narrative constructions grounded in 'common sense' and 'personal experience'.]]>
It has long been argued that the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords, now the UK Supreme Court, is characterised by Justices who are white and male, with a public school and Oxbridge education. Despite continuous debate and reflection on the lack of diversity, by academics, government and the popular press, little has changed. These debates have centred on explicit diversity, overt characteristics that are easily codified and reflect how the judiciary is seen. Drawing on the psychological theory of decision making, this paper argues that judicial decisions are subject to tacit influences that are not limited to overt characteristics. Personal values serve as one such tacit influence on decision making. Personal values are formed by life experiences and reflect many of the characteristics identified within the explicit diversity debates. However, personal values are influenced by more than simple demographic variables. This paper uses the example of personal values to highlight the fact that despite the lack of explicit diversity, there is an element of tacit diversity in the Supreme Court, which is reflected in judicial decisions. The impact of these findings serves to extend the debates surrounding diversity, highlighting the limitation of debates centred on explicit diversity alone.]]>
The constitutional referendum is often conceptualised as the ultimate institutional expression of popular sovereignty. However, 'direct democracy' is viewed apprehensively by many political and legal theorists, particularly republican scholars. They argue that referendums risk engendering a dangerous 'populism' while detracting from the deliberative and moderating virtues of parliamentary democracy. In this paper, I defend the political value of the constitutional referendum from within republican theory, arguing that there is a misplaced focus on parliamentary supremacy within much of the literature on 'political constitutionalism'. However, I argue it should be valued neither as a mechanism for giving expression to popular will, nor as an intervention by the mythologised 'constituent power' – or indeed, contra Tierney, as a 'sovereign' exercise in any sense. Rather, it has two main, overlapping virtues: first, its role in facilitating the contestation and checking of executive power in the area of constitutional change, and secondly, its instrumental role in fostering a wider culture of civic participation.]]>
This paper addresses, from a socio-legal perspective, the question of the significance of law for the treatment, care and the end-of-life decision making for patients with chronic disorders of consciousness. We use the phrase 'chronic disorders of consciousness' as an umbrella term to refer to severely brain-injured patients in prolonged comas, vegetative or minimally conscious states. Based on an analysis of interviews with family members of patients with chronic disorders of consciousness, we explore the images of law that were drawn upon and invoked by these family members when negotiating the situation of their relatives, including, in some cases, the ending of their lives. By examining 'legal consciousness' in this way (an admittedly confusing term in the context of this study,) we offer a distinctly sociological contribution to the question of how law matters in this particular domain of social life.]]>
Applying the Fairchild exception in Barker, Lord Hoffmann sought to justify apportionment of liability by reformulating the gist of the negligence action as the risk of mesothelioma rather than the mesothelioma itself. This paper examines the notion of risk to show that it cannot coherently be recognised as damage. By distinguishing risk from the related concept of probability, it is apparent that risk is a forward-looking concept that is incompatible with the role in which it is cast in the backward-looking causation inquiry when mesothelioma is an essential ingredient of liability. This paper goes on to consider whether 'pure' risk could form the gist of a negligence action and suggests that it lacks the moral significance to constitute damage. Furthermore, the damage requirement would be subsumed into the breach inquiry, effectively being lost as a distinct element of the negligence inquiry. This is incompatible with the traditional loss-based model of negligence.]]>
The issue of decriminalising euthanasia and/or assisted suicide has been the subject of a number of high-profile cases, the most recent of which was the Court of Appeal decision in R (Nicklinson & Lamb) v Ministry of Justice [2013] EWCA Civ 961. This paper will focus on the offence of assisted suicide and Martin's argument that the Policy for Prosecutors in Respect of Cases of Encouraging or Assisting Suicide, issued by the DPP following the House of Lords' final judgment in R (Purdy) v DPP [2009] UKHL 45 failed to provide foreseeability where a prospective assister was not someone with an emotional connection to the requester. The success of this claim offers a fresh opportunity to examine a somewhat neglected aspect of the Policy that emanated from the Purdy case, namely its potential challenge to the oft-stated claim that motive is irrelevant to mens rea. It is my contention that the Policy has (effectively) amended s 2 of the Suicide Act 1961 by making compassion/motive a definitional element of the offence, and that this is problematic because it contravenes a limitation imposed by the maxim that supports the doctrine of parliamentary supremacy.]]>
This paper examines the new legal framework on consumer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the EU. Its primary contribution lies in identifying that harmonising the complaint submission in a pan-European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, and directing parties to nationally approved ADR entities that comply with minimum standards, will not fulfil the potential of an extra-judicial consumer redress system. This paper proposes key functions that the ODR platform should incorporate if it is to provide effective redress. This paper also argues that a successful ODR platform should include built-in incentives that encourage parties to: (i) participate in approved ADR processes; (ii) settle complaints with little or no intervention from neutral third parties; and (iii) ensure voluntary compliance with final outcomes.]]>
Conflicts between domestic precedents and subsequent decisions of the European Court of Human Rights have resulted in the lower courts following prior domestic decisions even when convinced that they will be overruled on appeal. The standard interpretation of the decision of the House of Lords in Kay v Lambeth holds the lower courts to domestic precedents that are manifestly inconsistent with the subsequent Strasbourg jurisprudence and admits only the most limited exception. This paper advances an alternative approach to the relationship between the domestic courts' obligations under the Human Rights Act 1998 and the doctrine of precedent by analysis of the nature of the doctrine of precedent and the reasons offered by Lord Bingham in his leading judgment in Kay. This analysis is then extended and applied to two recent cases in which the lower courts have considered themselves bound by a decision of the UK's highest appeal court that fails to give due effect to the applicants' Convention rights.]]>
Rankings of law schools and law journals are part of a trend towards more emphasis in academia on transparency and accountability with regard to the quality of research and education. Globalisation increases the need to compare law schools and law journals across borders, but this raises complicated questions due to differences in language, education systems, publishing style and so on. In this contribution, it is argued that ranking of law schools and law reviews runs the risk of driving us away from quality based on substance towards proceduralisation and quality assessment based on proxies favoured by managers of law schools, funding bodies and government agencies, instead of by the forum of legal scholars.]]>
