DES MOINES, Iowa, July 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A recent article from Judicature, the journal of the American Judicature Society, studies in detail the decision-making behavior of six judges who have been viewed as potential nominees for the U.S. Supreme Court. Judicature has long published articles that examine federal judicial selection and the politics surrounding it and the confirmation process. "George W. Bush's Potential Supreme Court Nominees: What Impact Might They Have?" from the May-June 2002 issue was written by three political scientists, Kenneth L. Manning, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth; Bruce A. Carroll, Western Carolina University; and Robert A. Carp, University of Houston.
The notion of forgetting implies that important information once learned and accessible can no longer be retrieved and remembered. Although college students do not need to recall everything, they frequently have some trouble remembering what they need to know when taking quizzes and examinations (exams), and when giving oral presentations. This article offers six major explanations why college students tend to forget some of the course materials they learned from instructors' perspectives. These six explanations include decay, interference, failure to store or consolidate, failure to retrieve, reconstruction error, and obliterative subsumption. For each explanation of forgetting, college instructors must utilize certain instructional strategies that would minimize forgetting important c...
In this article the author is ultimately looking at what Six Sigma training programs and the tool sets of Black Belts and Green Belts lack in two ways -- from the standpoint not only of what exists in formal definitions and published reports but also from my own experiences and discussions with practitioners. He categorizes those things missing from Six Sigma into three major groups: 1. technical but not statistical, 2. nontechnical, and 3. statistical. Six Sigma has been successful-wonderfully successful -- in serving as an action oriented method for improving processes to yield better financial outcomes. Only through continual improvement -- a basic principle of quality -- will it remain a viable and lasting methodology.
Last fall, Matthew Rushton, British editor of The Mediator Magazine, posted a thought-provoking article on his blog titled "Six Things I'd Change About Mediation." Rushton's six suggestions for change can be summarized as follows: 1. Accept the reality that the market is insufficient to employ all mediators. 2. Eliminate the presumption that mediation is morally superior to litigation. 3. Stop overselling training. 4. Reallocate existing resources, experience and goodwill. 5. Promote a wider recognition of different styles. 6. Discourage or shut down panels. Here are the author's suggestions to improve the US market for mediation in particular and more broadly for dispute resolution services: 1. Broaden the concept of the "mediation market." 2. Train lawyers as problem solvers and a wid...
This Article is the second in a three-part series on the 2006 prosecution and defense of the Jena Six in LaSalle Parish, Louisiana. The series, in turn, is part of a larger, ongoing project investigating the role of race, lawyers, and ethics in the American criminal-justice system. The purpose of the project is to understand the race-based, identity-making norms and practices of prosecutors and defenders in order to craft alternative civil-rights and criminal-justice strategies in cases of racially-motivated violence. To that end, this Article revisits the prosecution and defense of the Jena Six in the hope of uncovering the professional norms of practice under de jure and de facto conditions of racial segregation, a set of norms I call Jim Crow legal ethics. Jim Crow ethical norms cond...
The reality of the project management field is that some projects will fail. But some of these failures are easily avoidable. This article examines how organizations can avoid failure. In doing so, it describes what organizations can easily do to more successfully manage projects and how organizations can more effectively save failing projects. It identifies the key signs of failing projects and the common - and unsuccessful - ways of dealing with failure. It then outlines a four-step system for finding the cause of a project's failure and a method that can help organizations salvage failing projects. It concludes by identifying an approach that can help organizations shift the way they think about - and mitigate - project failure. Accompanying this article are two sidebars: The first l...
Child neglect cries for attention As a registered nurse in the intensive care unit at LeBonheur Children's Medical Center for 14 years, I am very saddened at the most recent story of tragedy in our city (March 4 article, "Six killed at home").
Reform of the securities class action is once again the subject of national debate. The impetus for this debate is the reports of three different groups -- the Committee on Capital Market Regulation, the Commission on the Regulation of US Capital Markets in the 21st Century, and McKinsey & Co. Major reform of the securities class action occurred with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA). Among the PSLRA's contributions is the introduction of procedures by which the court chooses a lead plaintiff for the class. One of the forces propelling the PLSRA's enactment was the charge that the merits did not matter in the settlement of securities class actions. This charge was leveled in a widely celebrated article that examined six settlements that fell in a tight ban...
