Active Service As

• Commentary: A Busman's Holiday (or Boot Camp) for Appellate Judges

When Lewis F. Powell, Jr., retired from active service as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, he asked to serve on federal courts of appeals and was so designated by the Chief Justice of the United States, who possesses the power to make such assignments. Justice Powell thereby continued a long and valued service to the law and his country. When Chief Justice of the United States Warren E. Burger sat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, he made it a practice, as he informed his Supreme Court law clerks, of taking on trial assignments in federal district courts. He wanted to know how a record was created, how a trial was conducted, how decisions were made (and mistakes made) under the pressure that litigants and trial judges were under.

Nor is any mention made of the efforts by Lincoln ally Francis Blair to persuade George McClellan to abandon politics and to suggest that Lincoln might restore him to active service if he did. [...] given how much space is devoted to engagements such as Third Winchester and the Crater, it is disappointing to see so little devoted to the offensives around Richmond and Petersburg during rhe late summet and fall (such as those that resulted in the capture of Fort Harrison and Weldon Railroad) that, while not decisive in themselves, nonetheless offered strong evidence of military progress against the main Confederate army.

• Doing Hegemony: Military, Men, and Constructing a Hegemonic Masculinity

Hegemonic masculinities are at the top of the gender hierarchy and exist in relation to subordinated gender constructs. Traditional constructions of hegemonic masculinities include risk-taking, self-discipline, physical toughness and/or muscular development, aggression, violence, emotional control, and overt heterosexual desire. Using a grounded theory approach, 43 men were interviewed focusing on the process of hegemonic masculinities construction (n = 25 pre-active duty Reserve Officer Training Corps members and n = 18 Delayed Entry Program men). By casting non-military personal (i.e., civilians) and service members of different branches (i.e., Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force), different occupational specialties (i.e., infantry, artillery, supply, etc.), and different rank (officer ver...

• Returning Troops Face New Fight for Old Jobs ; Federal Law Easy for Employers to Ignore

As the Iraq and Afghanistan wars persist, some employers are becoming increasingly resistant to rehire service members who return from active duty as federal law requires, legal analysts say. Washington lawyer Matthew Tully, who specializes in these cases, said that as the war on terrorism - which relies heavily on National Guard and Reserve units - stretches into its second decade, companies have become more familiar with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.
