[...] if it is the mother who is summoning the child, then the directive is that she should interrupt the recommended ritual prayer and respond to her mother.60 Ayatullah Saanei makes use of this new epistemology and hermeneutic strategies when dealing with other issues pertaining to present-day society as well, such as the legality or prohibition of interest (riba) and use of gambling (qumar) instruments, minority rights, religious pluralism, bio-medical ethics, right of a wife to unilaterally divorce her husband, permissibility of women to occupy the position of judges or the highest religious post, and the age at which a person would become religiously accountable (mukallaf) and able to transact a marriage.61 Conclusion In the works of Ayatullah Saanei, one observes a major epistemol...
Law practice and legal education are facing fundamental changes. Many assume that these changes will force law schools to give up on theory and focus more on training students for the practice of law. However, this Essay shows that the future may be more uncertain and complex. The only thing that is certain is that law schools may face, for the first time, the need to provide the type of education the market demands rather than serving lawyers’ and law professors’ preferences. Legal educators must respond to these demands by serving not just the existing U.S. market for legal services but also a global market for legal information. This may call for training in some, but not all, of the theories and disciplines that have been developing in law schools.
While attorneys know they have an ethical responsibility to serve the public -- most notably, to help fellow citizens who can't afford a lawyer with critical legal problems -- the reality is that many don't perform their pro bono duty. People have lots of excuses -- and some are justified," said University of Maryland law professor Douglas L. Colbert, who has written extensively about the profession's ethical responsibilities.
[Candace Gorman] cannot see or talk with Al-Ghizzawi without filing a protective order with D.C.'s federal district court-an agreement that warns that she can be prosecuted for sharing classified information. The Justice Department is refusing to let those agreements be filed, because cases currently before the D.C. appeals court and the Supreme Court-Al Odah v. United States and Hamdan v. Rumsfeldwill affect what rights and legal venues detainees can access. The Supreme Court decided two years ago that detainees can challenge their detention, but until the latest cases are cleared everything else-including Gorman's emergency petition to see Al-Ghizzawi-has been sidelined. They just paid the cash and got the person," says John Anderson, an ex-Marine reservist and lawyer at Sutherland A...
The George W. Bush administration will long be remembered for its constitutional and legal arguments on behalf of exclusive and inherent executive power. In its extreme form, this uncompromising effort appears to have failed, and may even have pushed the judicial branch to limit executive authority and return to a more traditional insistence on interbranch cooperation in foreign affairs. Ironically, the Bush-Cheney legal legacy ultimately will depend on the Barack Obama administration's public commitments and legal arguments, but early evidence suggests that President Obama's assertions of executive power will rest less on assertions of constitutional prerogative, and more heavily on statutory delegation as well as long-standing judicial precedent.
Those who come in contact with students at the post-secondary level face a myriad of potential legal challenges in their interactions with students and others. All members of the academic community should be familiar with the more common legal issues and to plan accordingly to avoid future problems. This article explores FERPA in the classroom, reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, concerns about the transferability of course work, the syllabus and related issues, copyright violations, document retention, and situations involving student and faculty misconduct. An annual professional development seminar addressing these legal concerns should be provided to those new to the academy and for higher education veterans.
