  • Part I Background and Summary

    Part I Background and Summary

    PART I BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY Chapter 1 BRITISH STATUTES IN IDSTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The North American plantations were not the earliest over­ seas possessions of the English Crown; neither were they the first to be treated as separate political entities, distinct from the realm of England. From the time of the Conquest onward, the King of England held -- though not necessarily simultaneously or continuously - a variety of non-English possessions includ­ ing Normandy, Anjou, the Channel Islands, Wales, Jamaica, Scotland, the Carolinas, New-York, the Barbadoes. These hold­ ings were not a part of the Kingdom of England but were govern­ ed by the King of England. During the early medieval period the King would issue such orders for each part of his realm as he saw fit. Even as he tended to confer more and more with the officers of the royal household and with the great lords of England - the group which eventually evolved into the Council out of which came Parliament - with reference to matters re­ lating to England, he did likewise with matters relating to his non-English possessions.1 Each part of the King's realm had its own peculiar laws and customs, as did the several counties of England. The middle ages thrived on diversity and while the King's writ was acknowledged eventually to run throughout England, there was little effort to eliminate such local practices as did not impinge upon the power of the Crown. The same was true for the non-Eng­ lish lands. An order for one jurisdictional entity typically was limited to that entity alone; uniformity among the several parts of the King's realm was not considered sufficiently important to overturn existing laws and customs.
  • Mandating Diversity: the Inclusion Clause

    Mandating Diversity: the Inclusion Clause

    Call to Action Sara Lee's General Counsel: Making Diversity A Priority By Melanie Lasoff Levs For some committed general counsel, the standard talk about diversity is only a starting point. Recently, many corporate attorneys decided it was time to demand specific actions and results-with very real consequences. In spring 2004, Sara Lee General Counsel Roderick Palmore created "A Call to Action: Diversity in the Legal Profession," a document reaffirming a commitment to diversity in the law profession and taking action to ensure that corporate legal departments and law firms increase the numbers of women and minority attorneys hired and retained. And if law firms don't, the document states, "We [the undersigned corporate legal department representatives] further intend to end or limit our relationships with firms whose performance consistently evidences a lack of meaningful interest in being diverse." (See the sidebar in this article for the complete text.) Palmore wrote the Call to Action to build on a previous manifesto: former BellSouth General Counsel Charles Morgan's "Diversity in the Workplace: A Statement of Principle," written in 1999. "In that [document], signatories espoused an interest in diversity and the principle of diversity, which was a fabulous thing at the time," Palmore says. "But it struck me that not enough has happened. The progress of the profession-and more specifically the progress of large law firms-had stagnated." The Call to Action takes the Statement of Principle a step further, Palmore adds. "Its purpose is to take the general principle of interest in advancing diversity and translate that into action, into a commitment to act on, to make decisions about retaining law firms based in part on the diversity performance of those law firms." Discussion around the need for a Call to Action began in November 2003, when a group of general counsel gathered at the invitation of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA®), and the Association of the Corporate Counsel (ACC).

    Tuesday 5 December 2017 Hewlett Packard Enterprise 3000 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, CA, 94304 Children’s Rights Summit 2017 December 5, 2017 | Hewlett Packard Enterprise | Palo Alto, CA Welcome to the 4th Annual CHILDREN’S RIGHTS SUMMIT, an event that has evolved in substance and scope every year. This year is no exception. Inaugurating in 2014, we asked ourselves, “What can we do for children’s rights?” We created a community meant to challenge the status quo and broaden the reach by engaging other innovative thinkers in solutions needed to realize rights of children and youth. In 2015, we demanded of ourselves and our community, “If we can, we must.” Last year, we flipped the script to challenge ourselves to driving toward solutions by agreeing, “We can, so we must.” In 2017, a time of unprecedented challenges, we find ourselves forced to push ourselves further as a community to figure out what we must do and create to make a meaningful impact. Today, we ask one simple question: “WHY CAN’T WE?” Why can’t we do better? Why can’t we do better for kids in multiple systems? Why can’t we help children burdened by the place and circumstances we put them in overcome those very challenges to achieve a safe, happy and healthy live? Why can’t we get kids to the point of success, much less survival? We are a community ripe with talent, resources, commitment, innovation and reinvention. Why can’t we put that power into play to make life better for these kids? Today we find ourselves settling for a system of children’s justice that fights only to reach a paltry, bare minimum standard at best.
