RESPONDING TO THE "CALL FOR PAPERS": Participation at A.S.C. Annual Meetings

The purpose of this study is to examine the participation of criminology and criminal justice graduate departments at the 1977-1979 American Society of Criminology meetings. Results show that institutional prestige. not productivity, is the leading predictor of meeting participation. In addition, meeting participation does not appear to be influenced by meeting site. Finally, it is suggested that criminologists focus more attention upon professional activities in order to facilitate our understanding of criminology as a science.     

Evidence for a "new" allele at the esterase D (E.C. 3.1.1.1.) locus

An apparently new EsD gene product (EsD*Düsseldorf) was detected by use of horizontal agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE), starch gel electrophoresis (SGE), and isoelectric focusing (IEF). The observed phenotype EsD (1-Düsseldorf) can be distinguished from any known EsD type.     

U.S. Industries v. Director: "claim" versus "condition" in the analysis of workers' compensation cases

Under most workers' compensation statutes, an injury must "arise out of " and "in the course of" employment in order to qualify as a compensable disability. In U.S. Industries v. Director, the Supreme Court held that the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act must be strictly construed to avoid transforming the compensation system into a form of social insurance. In U.S. Industries, the Court denied a disability claim based on an arthritic condition which was manifested while the worker was at home in bed. This Note contends that the Supreme Court neglected to consider pertinent medical realities when analyzing the causation question. Thus, the decision undermines the overall rationale behind workers' compensation legislation. Nonetheless, the Note argues that the case does not relax the requirement of adequately scrutinizing the causative elements underlying any reasonable claim for disability benefits. An analysis adequately accommodating both medical and legal facts, instead of relying upon the vagaries of statutory interpretation, is necessary to improve the efficiency and fairness of workers' compensation disability determinations.     

Constructing C.A.L. tutorials

ON THE assumption that law schools should seek to foster a legal profession which takes ethics seriously, this article explores how it may promote the moral development of its students. Having examined how legal education currently fails in this regards, it explores competing psychological theories of moral development and argues that law schools should seek to start students on a ‘moral apprenticeship’ leading to the development of the necessary moral character to equip them for the ethical challenges of practice. The article then looks at the extent to which ideal methods for promoting moral development can be implemented given the current climate in legal education. In particular, it argues that an excellent and viable means of assisting in the process of moral character development is through student involvement in live‐client clinics, particularly if they are run on an extra‐curricular basis.     

“规范汉字”的法律意义——从“赵C”姓名权案到《现代汉语词典》第6版事件的法学联想

语言不仅是交流的工具,而且是文化身份的标志.语言规划立法,既有促进交流的目的,也担当着身份象征和文化传承的使命,应该综合这两方面的考虑,来理解语言规划立法所具有的特殊意义.我国公民享有姓名决定权,但仍应受到《国家通用语言文字法》和《居民身份证法》的限制,即公民居民身份证上的姓名必须使用规范汉字.因为我国目前在汉语词汇构成方面未有强制性标准,所以,《现代汉语词典》第6版收录“西文字母开头的词语”做法并没有“违法”.但是,面对字母词的使用现实及其可能引发的后果,我国确实应该尽快制定汉语词汇构成的国家标准,以明确西文缩略语的性质和词典编纂的规范要求.
