  • The Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Social Welfare Strategies
    Throughout the world, societies are reexamining, reforming, and restructuring their social welfare systems. New ways are being sought to manage and finance these systems, and new approaches are being developed that alter the relative roles of government, private business, and individ- uals. Not surprisingly, this activity has triggered spirited debate about the relative merits of the various ways of structuring social welfare systems in general and social security programs in particular. The current changes respond to a vari- ety of forces. First, many societies are ad- justing their institutions to reflect changes in social philosophies about the relative responsibilities of government and the individual. These philosophical changes are especially dramatic in China, the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union; but The Advantages and Disadvantages they are also occurring in what has tradi- of Different Social Welfare Strategies tionally been thought of as the capitalist West.

  • Lola V Skadden and the Automation of the Legal Profession
    Simon et al.: Lola v Skadden and the Automation of the Legal Profession Lola v. Skadden and the Automation of the Legal Profession Michael Simon, Alvin F. Lindsay, Loly Sosa & Paige Comparato1 20 Yale J.L. & Tech. 234 (2018) Technological innovation has accelerated at an exponential pace in the last few decades, ushering in an era of unprecedented advancements in algorithms andartificial intelligence technologies. Traditionally,the legalfield has protected itselffrom technological disruptionsby maintaininga professionalmonopoly over legal work and limiting the "practiceof law" to only those who are licensed. This article analyzes the long-term impact of the Second Circuit's opinion in Lola v. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, 620 F. App 'x 37 (2d Cir. 2015), on the legal field's existing monopoly over the "practiceof law." In Lola, the Second Circuit underscored that "tasks that could otherwise be performed entirely by a machine" could not be said to fall under the "practiceof law." By distinguishing between mechanistic tasks and legal tasks, the Second Circuit repudiated the legal field's oft-cited appeals to tradition insisting that tasks fall under the "practice of law" because they have always fallen under the practice of law. The broader implications of this decision are threefold. (1) as machines evolve, they will encroach on and limit the tasks considered to be the "practice of law ", (2) mechanistic tasks removedfrom the "practiceof law" may no longer be regulatedby professionalrules governing the legalfield; and (3) to survive the rise of technology in the legalfield, lawyers will need to adapt to a new "practice of law" in which they will act as innovators, purveyors of judgment and wisdom, and guardians of fairness, impartiality,and accountabilitywithin the law.

  • Healthcare in the Usa: Understanding the Medical-Industrial Complex
    B3 | HEALTHCARE IN THE USA: UNDERSTANDING THE MEDICAL-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX Introduction In the mid-1960s a group of progressively-minded New York activists came together to found the Health Policy Advisory Center or Health/PAC as it came to be called It was a time of intense activism in New York as poor communi- ties took to the streets demanding improved services and were emboldened to actually take over Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx (known locally as ‘the butcher shop’) 1 Following a 1967 ‘exposé-analysis’ written by one of the authors of this chapter (Robb Burlage), Health/PAC began publishing a monthly bulletin offering a ‘New Left’ perspective on health Three years later in 1970, John and Barbara Ehrenreich published a book-length critique of US healthcare based on the Health/PAC article, titled The American Health Empire. The medical–industrial complex In November 1969, Health/PAC first used the phrase ‘medical–industrial complex’ (MIC) as a way of characterizing the US health system The term was a spin-off from President Eisenhower’s farewell address in 1961, during which he discussed the dangers of the “military–industrial complex” Health/PAC’s use of the term ‘MIC’ incorporated the perception that healthcare was moving away from a system built on individual doctors and small community hospitals; healthcare was becoming more and more the ‘business’ of large academic centres that Health/PAC characterized as medical empires These medical empires were constructed around a central (private, academic) hospital and outlying satellite

Thomas Jefferson: "The study of the law qualifies a man to be useful to himself, to his neighbors, and to the public." II. Ask Several Students to give their definition of "Law." A. Even after years and thousands of dollars, "LAW" still is not easy to define B. What does law Consist of ? Law consists of enforceable rule governing relationships among individuals and between individuals and their society. 1. Students Need to Understand. a. The law is a set of general ideas b. When these general ideas are applied, a judge cannot fit a case to suit a rule; he must fit (or find) a rule to suit the unique case at hand. c. The judge must also supply legitimate reasons for his decisions. C. So, How was the Law Created. The law considered in this text are "man made" law. This law can (and will) change over time in response to the changes and needs of society. D. Example. Grandma, who is 87 years old, walks into a pawn shop. She wants to sell her ring that has been in the family for 200 years. Grandma asks the dealer, "how much will you give me for this ring." The dealer, in good faith, tells Grandma he doesn't know what kind of metal is in the ring, but he will give her $150.

The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.
