  • These Strange Criminals: an Anthology Of
    ‘THESE STRANGE CRIMINALS’: AN ANTHOLOGY OF PRISON MEMOIRS BY CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS FROM THE GREAT WAR TO THE COLD WAR In many modern wars, there have been those who have chosen not to fight. Be it for religious or moral reasons, some men and women have found no justification for breaking their conscientious objection to vio- lence. In many cases, this objection has lead to severe punishment at the hands of their own governments, usually lengthy prison terms. Peter Brock brings the voices of imprisoned conscientious objectors to the fore in ‘These Strange Criminals.’ This important and thought-provoking anthology consists of thirty prison memoirs by conscientious objectors to military service, drawn from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and centring on their jail experiences during the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War. Voices from history – like those of Stephen Hobhouse, Dame Kathleen Lonsdale, Ian Hamilton, Alfred Hassler, and Donald Wetzel – come alive, detailing the impact of prison life and offering unique perspectives on wartime government policies of conscription and imprisonment. Sometimes intensely mov- ing, and often inspiring, these memoirs show that in some cases, indi- vidual conscientious objectors – many well-educated and politically aware – sought to reform the penal system from within either by publicizing its dysfunction or through further resistance to authority. The collection is an essential contribution to our understanding of criminology and the history of pacifism, and represents a valuable addition to prison literature. peter brock is a professor emeritus in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.

  • Culture and Contempt: the Limitations of Expressive Criminal Law
    Culture and Contempt: The Limitations of Expressive Criminal Law Ted Sampsell-Jones* The law is the master teacher and guides each generation as to what is acceptable conduct. - Asa Hutchinson' The law of the land in America is full of shit. - Chuck D' I. INTRODUCTION Over the past decade, legal scholars have paid increasing attention to ways that criminal law affects social norms and socialization. While these ideas are not entirely original,1 the renewed focus on criminal law's role in social construction has been illuminating nonetheless. The recent scholarship has reminded us that criminal laws prevent crime not only by applying legal sanctions ' The author received an A.B. from Dartmouth, a J.D. from Yale Law School, and is currently clerking for Judge William Fletcher on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Thanks to Michelle Drake, Bob Ellickson, Elizabeth Emens, Owen Fiss, David Fontana, Bernard Harcourt, Neal Katyal, Heather Lewis, Richard McAdams, Brian Nelson, and Sara Sampsell-Jones for their suggestions and comments.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

And I think that then we decide to do the last tour in ‘96 and then say, “OK, Accept is def- initely over.” So then I start U.D.O. again. UDO How long has it been that Stefan Kaufman [longtime Accept drummer] has been playing guitar instead of drums for U.D.O.? There was the first U.D.O. album [the DIRKSCHNEIDER Solid album, at] the end of ‘96 after the was formerly the singer for the important German metal band Accept. Udo’s been rocking split up with Accept; then he was doing ever since he formed Accept in 1971 (the proper Accept lineup came together in 1976 and the guitars. But Stefan, he was playing soon released its first album), and also has been playing in his solo band, U.D.O., for which already the guitar before he started play- he put out his first record in 1987 after parting ways with Accept.

  • The Advocacy Trainer, a Manual for Supevisors, 2008
    THE ADVOCACY TRAINER A Manual for Supervisors THE JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL’S LEGAL CENTER AND SCHOOL UNITED STATES ARMY – CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA 2008 FOREWORD TO “THE ADVOCACY TRAINER” “Practice is the best of all instructors.” – Publilius Syrus Train hard. Train often. Train as you fight. Train to exceed standards. Train with those who will be side by side with you when you’re in court and when you deploy. More importantly, train those who might not be located near other Judge Advocates once they arrive in theater. Ad­ vocacy skills can be learned. This publication will take you there, providing a wealth of opportu­ nity to train on virtually every aspect of trial advocacy. In the crucible of the courtroom, can you afford for anyone on your team not to know what your opponents already do? Your opponent has probably trained using the methods used in this book. It is too late, once a trial has begun, to hone cross examination skills, to refresh your recollection as to how to properly frame an objection, or to lay a foundation. We need to be ready well in advance of walking into a courtroom. As Judge Advocates faced with very real courtroom dramas, we don’t have the luxury of training up after the case has started. As Major General Altenburg noted in his original foreword to this book, it is not inciden­ tal that we are called Judge Advocates. This publication will help you in ways money can’t buy, to train to be better advocates. The training in this book is performance-oriented, designed to develop and hone the central skills of trial advocacy for counsel of all experience levels, on both sides of the bar.
