Since the prior edition of this magazine, the Shepard Broad Law Center has become the Shepard Broad College of Law. This was a small change at the law school, but part of a broader transformation across the university to realign undergraduate education with graduate and professional schools. Similarly, Nova Lawyer has become the NSU Law Advocate, reflecting the importance of NSU in the law school’s growing dual degree programs, clinics, and national prominence. The innovations described throughout the magazine are enhancements to our program and investments in our future. They are built on NSU College of Law’s tradition of experimentation and emphasis on students who receive a practice-ready education. Change has been a hallmark of NSU College of Law from the beginning. Always welcoming to women and minorities, we have been active in recruiting Canadian attorneys seeking new opportunities in the United States. We have grown to become one of the most diverse law schools in the United States because of this Message emphasis on openness and inclusion, a change we have helped to foster throughout legal education. At NSU College of Law, our support for clinical and live-client education has also been part of our decades- from the long emphasis on practice-ready education. Through a generous donation from the Taft Foundation, the college will be launching the Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Clinic, enabling the Dean law school to provide pro bono legal services to adults needing legal assistance involving public benefits, housing, and educational rights. We plan to work closely with the Brooklyn Law School, which introduced a similar clinic last spring, also funded by a grant from the Taft Foundation. This partnership across state lines may be a first in legal education. The new clinic is just one of the areas of clinical growth. In February, we launched our Legal Incubator Program, providing ongoing training to select, recently admitted lawyers in exchange for their commitment to provide pro bono legal services in the Veterans Law Clinic. The first class of incubator attorneys began in April of 2016. To complete a physical renovation of the law clinic, we knocked down the walls to expand the space and transform the environment into a modern, 21st-century law firm space. This edition of the NSU Law Advocate includes a number of articles on the innovations and growth of NSU College of Law. Our Trial and Appellate Advocacy Program has added multiple, practice-focused training programs for students planning to become trial attorneys. We have increased the number and scope of traveling competition teams. Our Global Law Leadership Institute offers the largest academic program in the business of lawyering anywhere in the country, preparing our students for the economic, social, and professional requirements of modern lawyering. The new group mentoring program has expanded opportunities for students and alumni to get together. These group mentoring sessions provide powerful moments to enhance the education of our students and build the community for our alumni. I hope you enjoy the features on the continuous growth and innovation of the NSU College of Law. As always, the magazine also has stories about our exemplary faculty members; our talented students; and our wonderful, supportive alumni. So take a few minutes to read about yourself, your friends, and your law school. This is more than just a magazine; consider it a personal invitation to stay involved. We look forward to seeing you here. Jon M.

  • Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War a Thesis Presented to the Department of Humanities
    THE KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY: CALLAWAY COUNTY, MISSOURI DURING THE CIVIL WAR A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By ANDREW M. SAEGER NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI APRIL 2013 Kingdom of Callaway 1 Running Head: KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY The Kingdom of Callaway: Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War Andrew M. Saeger Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Kingdom of Callaway 2 Abstract During the American Civil War, Callaway County, Missouri had strong sympathies for the Confederate States of America. As a rebellious region, Union forces occupied the county for much of the war, so local secessionists either stayed silent or faced arrest. After a tense, nonviolent interaction between a Federal regiment and a group of armed citizens from Callaway, a story grew about a Kingdom of Callaway. The legend of the Kingdom of Callaway is merely one characteristic of the curious history that makes Callaway County during the Civil War an intriguing study. Kingdom of Callaway 3 Introduction When Missouri chose not to secede from the United States at the beginning of the American Civil War, Callaway County chose its own path. The local Callawegians seceded from the state of Missouri and fashioned themselves into an independent nation they called the Kingdom of Callaway. Or so goes the popular legend. This makes a fascinating story, but Callaway County never seceded and never tried to form a sovereign kingdom. Although it is not as fantastic as some stories, the Civil War experience of Callaway County is a remarkable microcosm in the story of a sharply divided border state.

  • The Truth Behind the Failure of the LIRR's Brooklyn to Boston Route
    Did The LIRR's Brooklyn To Boston Route (Ca. 1844- 1847) Fall Victim To Wall Street Stock Manipulation, Unfair Competition From Its “Partner Railroad”, The Untimely Inaction Of Its Own Board, And Finally, A Coup-De-Grace Delivered By The Builder Of The Atlantic Avenue Tunnel- Or Was Its Failure Purely The Result Of Darwinian Market Forces? By Bob Diamond Notes: The very low financial figures cited below need to be put into their proper perspective, in terms of relative value. The total original capitalization of the LIRR, to build from Brooklyn to Greenport (a distance of 95 miles), was, as of the year 1836, $1.5 million. Its construction cost, as estimated by its original Chief Engineer, Maj. D.B. Douglass, was $1.557 million (includes $300,000 to complete the Brooklyn & Jamaica RR). This figure did not include the capital costs of the LIRR's subsequent steamboat operations (New-York Annual Register For The Year 1836, Published by Edwin Williams, 1836, pg 191- 192). The opinions and conclusions cited below are strictly my own, and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of any other person. Special thanks go to Richard A. Fleischer for his invaluable comments and advice. Back in 1980, in the course of researching the history of the Atlantic Avenue tunnel in order to locate its entrance, I was fascinated to learn the original purpose of the LIRR was to connect New York harbor with Boston and other points in New England, beginning in August 1844, and ending in March, 1847. I was left wondering why this route was abandoned after less than three years of use.

  • Appendix C.Vp
    Appendix C Via Panama Sailings, 1849 to 1861 This appendix includes sailing information for ships carrying post office mails sent via Panama between San Francisco and New York City as well as a sample of early trips to New Orleans (pages 252 and 253). Each trip is numbered with year, direction and trip number within that year. So, trip "1851 E-5" would be the fifth mail carrying trip from San Francisco in 1851. Westbound trips are not included as arrangements for mail varied considerably depending on the port of mail departure. The general schedule for mail departures from New York, Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans and Panama from January 1850 is described in the Postmaster General notice shown on following page. Information on the first line of each eastbound trip includes the departure date, name of ship, and date of arrival in Panama City. After carriage across the Isthmus of Panama, the mail was transferred to a ship operating in the Atlantic Ocean. The second line includes the date of departure from either Chagres or Aspinwall as specificed, the name of the ship, and the ship arrival date in New York City. When two ships are listed on a single line, it indicates that mail was transferred from the first ship listed to the second. The specifics are mentioned in the notes column. An "x" in parenthesis after a ship name in the "notes" column means that the trip was an extra. The departure date is given. In general these extra vessels did not carry post office letter mail but, unless specifically mentioned, they may have carried some letter mail and/or newspapers.

    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ VOL. 2, # 3 MARCH, 2020 NFIA LAUNCHES A NEW INTERNSHIP PROGRAM NATIONALLY DURING SUMMER SCHOOL BREAK: In an effort to involve youth to work during summer with NFIA, when school is out, and also with elected officials, an internship program is planned. Program’s goal is to cultivate promising and interested youth through innovative leadership opportunities to help build a pipeline of future leaders for NFIA and or the community at large – a pipeline of great and innovative minds who may help in getting the message of NFIA out – a message of civic leadership and community engagement. In order to test-drive the program, a small batch of students, between the ages of 18- 29, will be selected in four to five locations. NFIA hopes that internship program and its benefits to students may bring new interest from parents and students and they may try to look for NFIA’s mission and its interest in community building. A service to the community that has provided the Indian immigrants to build a career here in the United States of America and now these individuals are capable and willing in helping the community first by being good citizens of this land of opportunity, also by being successful as entrepreneurs who are capable of creating employment opportunities for others, and are interested in paying back to the community that has helped them to climb the professional, educational, and career ladder. Students identified in different areas will have coordinators who will help them succeed during their internship period, counsel them, and at the end of their internship officially and publicly award a certificate of completion from NFIA.

This paper attempts to examine and analyze a stand-up comedy and two sitcoms respectively, by focusing on two specific questions: How do their performances construct a sense of their own identity as Canadians or as Americans? What role does the genre of ethnic comedy or humor play in creating an anti-racist discourse? Meera Ashar, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Show or Tell? Performance as Instruction in Govardhanram’s Saraswatichandra This paper argues that the use of the literary form of the novel and the idiom of Reform are impelled by a similar drive towards re-presentation and pedagogy and away from an understanding of instruction that has its roots in action-knowledge.
