Suite 704 6 The Broadway, Mill Hill London NW7 3LL UK Tel: + 44 (0) 207 117 6077 Fax: + 44 (0) 207 900 2935 Email address: [email protected] Website: http://www.QLTS.co.uk Access to LexisLibrary and Westlaw Databases All legal research exam questions can be answered using either LexisLibrary or Westlaw UK, however each service has particular strengths, and you will save yourself invaluable time on the assessment if you are able to identify which service to use for a particular strand of research. Hence, candidates should be perfectly proficient with both databases. By way of example, some helpful content may be found only on LexisLibrary, such as Halsbury’s Laws of England, whereas other sources, e.g., Chitty on Contracts, are only available on Westlaw UK. Please keep in mind that you are given 60 minutes to conduct the entire legal research assessment from which you are advised to devote only 45 minutes for the actual online search, where the remaining time should be used to read the question, plan your research, write your legal advice to the client, and provide the legal reasoning mentioning any key sources or authorities. On the technical side, some candidates have found in the past that during the assessment one of the databases was suffering from technical difficulties, so being proficient on the other database could be the difference between passing and failing. Kaplan officially states that in the event of technical difficulties with one of the databases during the exam period candidates are expected to do the legal research on the other database. There are several ways you can obtain access to LexisLibrary and Westlaw databases: Law Firms If you work in a law firm or as an in-house lawyer, your firm may already have subscriptions to LexisLibrary and Westlaw. We recommend that you confirm this with your firm. Libraries A few libraries offer their visitors access to the content of LexisLibrary and Westlaw: The British Library The Law Society Library Access is offered for free to Westlaw and to LexisLibrary Access is offered to members of the Law Society or to QLTS (You are advised to arrive early due to limited students who may apply for non-member day passes, at availability in the evenings). the following rates: • One day: £24 (inc.

  • At Mrs. Murphy's Bed and Breakfast
    FORMAN DAVID 8/28/2012 For Educational Use Only A ROOM FOR “ADAM AND STEVE” AT MRS. MURPHY'S..., 23 Colum. J. Gender... Columbia Journal of Gender and Law David M. Forman 1 Copyright © 2012 by the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law; David M. Forman Abstract This article aims to encourage a vital and evolutionary step forward in understanding how multifaceted legal processes shape, and should shape, thinking about gay and lesbian couples within religious communities and the body politic. The article begins by providing context that illustrates the place-based and diffuse nature of an ongoing culture war between civil rights and religious freedom, further exposing the painful irony inherent in using misinterpretations of the Sodom and Gomorrah parable to reinforce inhospitality. The article describes a state-by-state patchwork of nondiscrimination laws governing places of public accommodation and explores the Jim Crow origins of the “Mrs. Murphy” exception that has been incorporated into a handful of state nondiscrimination laws. The article then examines how existing legal frameworks address claims of sexual orientation discrimination alongside defenses based upon religious freedom. Finally, this article seeks to accelerate an emerging trend toward including sexual orientation as a protected category in our nation's nondiscrimination laws, by highlighting an opportunity to counter religious misinterpretations currently reflected in the prevailing cultural narrative. *327 I. Re-Introducing “Adam and Steve” Since at least the 1970s, the phrase “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” has been used by conservative Christians (and others) to express opposition to civil rights claims by gays and lesbians.
