(Haruki Murakami, 1Q84) Drafting this dissertation has been a journey of discovery, and it would be almost impossible to list all the milestones, lessons learned and limits encountered on the way. Just as everyone who embarks on a long journey into the wild, the experience itself has afforded me a wealth of knowledge about the world around me and my role in it and more than I had thought previously possible. The biggest revelation was that no stage of this journey would have been possible without the many people whose support ensured my continuing even when I seemed to have hit a roadblock: Without their encouragements and understanding I would not be writing this acknowledgment. I would like to express my special appreciations and thanks to my two supervisors, Professor Dr. -

We’ll conclude this historic anniversary next spring with the dedication of our new and renovated facility in Carlisle. In December, the ABA took the unprecedented step of granting the Law School’s new University Park campus immediate full approval and recognizing The Dickinson School of Law, in Carlisle and University Park, as the nation’s only unified two-location law school. We continue to serve as the ABA’s national pilot project for reassessing the “distance education” rules applicable to all U.S. law schools, and students in both of our locations continue to enjoy the rich curriculum enabled by our advanced audiovisual telecommunications capabilities. This year, over 4,100 extremely talented, diverse students applied for admis- sion to our law school — the highest number in the history of the Law School; by way of comparison, 1,471 students applied for admission in 2003. The aca- demic credentials and diversity of our students are stronger than at any time in the last thirty years. Outstanding scholars and advocates of renown continue to join our faculty. -

For clarification, this case is not about a pinch on the backside, or a few politically incorrect jests at the office. Jamie Leigh Jones was first forced into a sexual relationship, against her will, with her supervisor, or risk losing her job at a time when her mother was incapable of supporting them and Jamie was the sole source of income. After escaping that environment, she was harassed, and threatened in Baghdad, before she was ultimately the subject of a brutal sexual attack by several attackers who first drugged her, then repeatedly raped and injured her, both physically and emotionally. -

A special pull-out section of this issue of The Dickinson Lawyer features a 175-year timeline with milestones that reflect how The Dickinson School of Law has helped shape our region, our country, and our world. The section ends with a photo “walk through” of our new and renovated facilities in Carlisle which will be dedicated on April 16. Together with our award-winning Lewis Katz Building at University Park, our new facilities provide our students with several unique advantages. In our courtroom, for example, students were recently able to observe Judge D. Brooks Smith ’76 as part of a Third Circuit panel hearing a last-minute death penalty appeal. In our classrooms, students compare con - stitutional issues with their peers in South Africa and Australia. In our library, students have 24/7 access to a vast collection of resources that puts answers at their fingertips. We’re also celebrating the 30-year anniversary of our clinical program, which began in earnest with our Family, Disability and Arts, Sports and Entertainment Law clinics. In 2008, we expanded our clinics to include opportunities for students to work on immigration and civil rights issues on a national level. -
OXPO - Oxford Sciences Po Research Group
OXPO - Oxford Sciences Po Research group - http://oxpo.politics.ox.ac.uk OXPO Working papers Waiving rights in mandatory arbitration clauses: a challenge for liberalism1 Alicia-Dorothy Mornington Sciences Po (CEVIPOF) Work in progress Please do not cite without the permission of the author 1 This paper was presented at the Oxford Jurisprudence Discussion Group, Oxford University on November 1st 2012. 1 Abstract: This presentation focuses on the case of Jamie Leigh Jones v. Halliburton et al. (USA, 2009). Jones’ employment contract with Halliburton/KBR had a clause stipulating that, in the case of rape she was giving up her right to a tort trial. By signing, she accepted to resort to KBR's private arbitration system. Jones was subsequently raped during a mission in Iraq. Due to the Department of State’s gross negligence, she was barred from having a criminal trial, and her waiver prevented her from initiating a tort trial. Waiving rights poses a serious challenge to neutrality-committed liberalism (NCL), as it takes consent as the basis for legitimacy. NCL’s is committed to protecting liberty, rejects paternalism and does not have a coherent response to waivers. The laissez-faire option logically entails toleration voluntary slavery in the name of freedom, which contradicts NCL’s goal to promote freedom. Yet condemning voluntary slavery means being paternalist, thus limiting freedom in the name of freedom. In both cases, consent to waiving rights leads NCL to a contradiction. The Jones case thus reveals a blind spot for this trend of liberalism. In this paper, I want to argue that in order to rescue NCL from internal contradiction, non-classically liberal arguments are needed.
