Why Would Anyone Want to Be a Public Interest Lawyer?

I can barely express how grateful the Law Center is to the Delaneys for their generous gift, or what an honor it is to be designated as the first Delaney Family Professor of Public Interest Law at this incredibly vibrant institution. But our celebration today is not merely the recognition of my scholarship or public service. What the Delaneys have done is to honor not only me but also the hundreds of Georgetown students, faculty, staff and alumni who perform public service. Whether they have achieved high office, like Senators Richard Durbin and Patrick Leahy, or provide free legal services for accused defendants in the local courts, or like April Delaney herself, do research, advocacy, or public education in nonprofit organizations, the public interest lawyers who have passed through the halls of Georgetown Law are all encompassed by the Delaneys\u27 vision that public service is the highest calling of those in our profession

Terry White: A Two-Front Negotiation Exercise

In the 1980s, teaching the theory and art of negotiation has become more important than ever in the curricula of law schools. As the cost of full-scale litigation has risen, the pressure on litigants to settle short of trial has increased, and the development of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms has become a priority of the bar. The literature on negotiation has multiplied, and law school texts have been published to support an increasing number of courses in negotiation. After a brief overview of the Terry White problem, this article becomes an instructor\u27s manual. It offers suggestions for those desiring to administer the exercise, including advice on modifying and supplementing the printed materials, acting in role as clients, and conducting the classroom evaluation. The exercise materials immediately following the article may be reproduced for distribution to students without further permission

Single-Spin Asymmetries and Transversity

A pedagogical introduction to single-spin asymmetries (SSA's) and transversity is presented. Discussion in some detail is made of certain aspects of (SSA's) in lepton-nucleon and in hadron-hadron scattering and the role of pQCD and evolution in the context of transversity.Comment: 10 pages, 11 figures, presented at the XV International Symposium on High-Energy Spin Physics (Brookhaven, 9-14 Aug. 2002

Semi-Inclusive DIS and Transversity

A review is presented of some aspects of semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering and transversity. In particular, the role of $k_T$-dependent and higher-twist (or multi-parton) distributions in generating single-spin asymmetries is discussed.Comment: 8 pages, uses aipproc.cls, feynmp, psfrag, and some personal packages (included); invited talk presented at HiX 2004, Marseille, 26-28 July 200

The Summary Affirmance Proposal of the Board of Immigration Appeals

The Board of Immigration Appeals is on the verge of making a tragic mistake, trading away a key element of fair adjudication--the written opinion--for the sake of what it hopes will be greater administrative efficiency. The cost of eliminating written adjudication is too great, and the Board has given no indication that it has sufficiently canvassed less drastic alternatives. The Board of Immigration Appeals (the Board ) is the primary appellate body for immigration law. The staple of its work is to decide appeals from decisions of Immigration Judges in removal proceedings, though it also hears appeals in several other categories, such as decisions of Immigration Judges on petitions for approval of preferred immigration status by virtue of close relationship to a United States citizen or permanent alien

Bleak House 1968: A Report on Consumer Test Litigation

The author presents the practical problems of consumer test-case litigation. Writing in an informal, anecdotal style, he addresses himself to law students, telling them of the many obstacles they will face in this type of practice. The author relates the innumerable and exasperating delaying tactics employed by his adversaries in several cases now being litigated. Looking beyond the theoretical efficacy of test-case litigation as a solution to the morass of consumers\u27 grievances, the author\u27s experiences suggest the need for basic reform of state procedure in order to permit more speedy resolution of the issues raised by such litigation

Transversity and Drell-Yan KK-Factors

The Drell-Yan $K$-factors for transversely polarised hadrons are examined. Since transverse spin is peculiar in having no DIS reference point, the effects of higher-order corrections on DY asymmetries are examined via a DIS definition for transversity devised using a hypothetical scalar vertex. The results suggest that some care may be required when interpreting experimentally extracted partonic transversity, particularly when comparing with model calculations or predictions.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures (eps and feynmp); uses World Scientific class ws-procs9x6, standard LaTeX/MiKTeX packages [amsmath, feynmp, graphicx, natbib, psfrag] and one homespun package (included in the zip file); contributed talk to appear in proc. of the XVI Int. Symp. on High-Energy Spin Physics, Trieste (Oct. 2004
