  • Bamcinématek Presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 Days of 40 Genre-Busting Films, Aug 5—24
    BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 days of 40 genre-busting films, Aug 5—24 “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante to appear in person at select screenings Aug 5—Aug 7 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Jul 18, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, August 5, through Wednesday, August 24, BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, a sprawling collection of Dante’s essential film and television work along with offbeat favorites hand-picked by the director. Additionally, Dante will appear in person at the August 5 screening of Gremlins (1984), August 6 screening of Matinee (1990), and the August 7 free screening of rarely seen The Movie Orgy (1968). Original and unapologetically entertaining, the films of Joe Dante both celebrate and skewer American culture. Dante got his start working for Roger Corman, and an appreciation for unpretentious, low-budget ingenuity runs throughout his films. The series kicks off with the essential box-office sensation Gremlins (1984—Aug 5, 8 & 20), with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Billy (Galligan) finds out the hard way what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight and mini terrors take over his all-American town. Continuing the necessary viewing is the “uninhibited and uproarious monster bash,” (Michael Sragow, New Yorker) Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990—Aug 6 & 20). Dante’s sequel to his commercial hit plays like a spoof of the original, with occasional bursts of horror and celebrity cameos. In The Howling (1981), a news anchor finds herself the target of a shape-shifting serial killer in Dante’s take on the werewolf genre.

  • A Way Forward: Transparency in 2018
    A Way Forward: Transparency in 2018 Law School Transparency Kyle McEntee Iowa State Bar Association Young Lawyers Division* * Kyle Fry, Thomas Hillers, Abhay Nadipuram, Rob Poggenklass, and Maggie White contributed to this report on behalf of the Iowa YLD. Executive Summary We recommend that the ABA and law schools take the following steps to improve legal education for the benefit of students, the legal profession, and the public. 1. Young Lawyer Representation in Accreditation • The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar should add two young lawyers to its Council in 2018. • The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar should change its bylaws to designate two of 15 at-large Council positions to young lawyers. 2. Increased Data Transparency • The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, using authority it already has under the ABA Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools, should require schools to report as part of the Section’s annual questionnaire, and for the Section and schools to provide on their websites, (1) disaggregated borrowing data, including subcategories by race and gender; (2) disaggregated data on the amount of tuition paid by class year (1L or upper-level), race/ethnicity, and gender; (3) data on applicants and scholarships by gender and, to the extent the Section does not do so already, by race/ethnicity; (4) data on J.D. program completion and bar passage success. 3. User-Friendly Data Presentation • The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar should simplify the Employment Summary Report, which includes graduate employment data.

Bambach August 2016 © 2016 Nicholas D. Bambach. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies by NICHOLAS D. BAMBACH has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT BAMBACH, NICHOLAS D., M.A., August 2016, Film In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis discusses the increasing visibility of masculine identity in contemporary Hollywood comedies. I examine how shifting developments in economic, societal, cultural, and gender relations impacted the perception of cinematic masculinity. The men, more specifically white and heterosexual, in these films position themselves as victims and, as a result, turn to alternative outlets to ease their frustrations and anxieties. In order to broadly survey the genre of the past two decades, I focus on three consistently popular character tropes in Hollywood comedies: slackers, office workers, and bromantic friendships. All the male characters discussed throughout the thesis are plagued by their innermost anxieties and desires that compromise their gendered identities. However, these films resort to a regressive understanding of masculinity and functions within the dominant heteronormative structures. This thesis demonstrates how Hollywood comedies present a contradictory and multifaceted image of modern masculinity.

  • Using the JURIST Method to Teach Legal Research and Writing
    173 Skills Without Stigma: Using The JURIST Method To Teach Legal Research And Writing Abigail Salisbury Introduction Common to every practice area of the law is the need for clear, concise writing to convey the relevant legal principles and precedents. However, practitioners constantly report that their new associates are unprepared for the work required of them upon graduating from law school,1 a dilemma consistent with data indicating that law schools are not improving students’ legal information literacy skills.2 A legal writing expert3 recently surveyed a group of partners in major law firms by asking, “What are the writing problems you see most often in associate work product?” The most frequently-stated problems were: • Poor structure/rambling organization • Passive voice/awkward sentences/ambiguous clauses • Clutter/wordiness Abigail Salisbury is Executive Director, JURIST Legal News and Research Services, Inc., a non profit corporation hosted by the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. I wish to thank JURIST’s Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Professor Bernard J. Hibbitts, for his support. I am also grateful to JURIST’s Research Director Jaclyn Belczyk and Pitt Law Professor Theresa Brostoff for their comments on previous drafts of this article. The background work for this piece would not have been possible without the contributions of research assistants Andrew Gilmore, Deirdre Jurand, and Devin Montgomery. Many thanks to all of JURIST’s editors and writers for their hard work and dedication to the project. 1. See Susan Hanley Kosse & David T.
