Rachel Berry) and Kevin McHale (a.k.a. Artie); and touring the world singing the show’s hits to stadium crowds. Peppered throughout are photos, keepsakes, lists, and charts that illustrate Jenna's life and the choices she has made that have shaped her positive outlook.Choosing Glee will speak to the show's demographic who are often coping with the very stresses and anxieties the teenage characters on Glee face.

Rethinking the Boundaries of the Sixth Amendment Right to Choice of Counsel
RETHINKING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SIXTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO CHOICE OF COUNSEL I. INTRODUCTION Criminal defense is personal business. For this reason, the Consti- tution’s ample procedural protections for criminal defendants are writ- ten not just to provide a fair trial, but also to put the defendant in con- trol of his own defense. Courts and commentators alike have rec- ognized that the constitutional vision of liberty requires not only protection for the accused, but also the right of the accused to speak and act for himself.1 The Sixth Amendment also reflects the common understanding that the assistance of counsel can be crucial — even necessary — to effective defense,2 but its language and structure nev- ertheless make clear that the rights and their exercise belong to the de- fendant himself, not his lawyer.3 The right to the assistance of counsel has many facets, but its most ancient and fundamental element is the defendant’s right to counsel of his own choosing. Indeed, the Supreme Court has identified choice of counsel as “the root meaning of the constitutional guarantee.”4 Yet ac- tual choice-of-counsel doctrine gives the state broad authority to inter- fere with the exercise of this right. For example, a defendant may not choose an advocate whose representation creates a potential conflict of interest for the defendant, even if the defendant knowingly and intelli- gently waives any objection to the potential conflict,5 and a defendant has no right to be represented by an advocate who is not a current member of a state bar association.6 The remedy for a choice-of- ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1 See, e.g., Faretta v. -

BOOKSHELF A 9/11 Survivor Tells Her Story Hit by a fireball as she waited at a World Trade Center elevator bank, she ran from the lobby, her clothing on fire. By LAURA LANDRO August 30, 2011 On the spectacular September morning when two passenger jets tore through the World Trade Center towers in a heretofore unimaginable act of terrorism, Lauren Manning happened to be in the lobby of the north tower when it was hit by the first plane. Waiting for an elevator that would take her to the 105th floor, where she worked for financial-services company Cantor Fitzgerald, Ms. Manning had heard a piercing whistle and attributed it to construction noise—but then she felt the building quake and a fireball flashed from the elevator bank like a blast from hell, engulfing her. "Unmeasured Strength" is a gripping tale of her long fight back from a devastating injury that easily could have killed her. Though her story has been told before—in the press, in a book by her husband, and on television on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Today"—Ms. Manning's own account, arriving in time for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, goes beyond those tributes to her courage. -
The Socratic Method in the Age of Trauma
THE SOCRATIC METHOD IN THE AGE OF TRAUMA Jeannie Suk Gersen When I was a young girl, the careers I dreamed of — as a prima ballerina or piano virtuoso — involved performing before an audience. But even in my childhood ambitions of life on stage, no desire of mine involved speaking. My Korean immigrant family prized reading and the arts, but not oral expression or verbal assertiveness — perhaps even less so for girls. Education was the highest familial value, but a posture of learning anything worthwhile seemed to go together with not speak- ing. My incipient tendency to raise questions and arguments was treated as disrespect or hubris, to be stamped out, sometimes through punish- ment. As a result, and surely also due to natural shyness, I had an almost mute relation to the world. It was 1L year at Harvard Law School that changed my default mode from “silent” to “speak.” Having always been a student who said nothing and preferred a library to a classroom, I was terrified and scandalized as professors called on classmates daily to engage in back-and-forth dia- logues of reasons and arguments in response to questions, on subjects of which we knew little and on which we had no business expounding. What happened as I repeatedly faced my unwelcome turn, heard my voice, and got through with many stumbles was a revelation that changed my life. A light switched on. Soon, I was even volunteering to engage in this dialogue, and I was thinking more intensely, independently, and enjoyably than I ever had before. -

Evaluating Public Participation in Regulatory Policymaking Cary Coglianese* Harvard University Dispute resolution seeks to find satisfactory solutions to conflicts, and researchers who evaluate dispute resolution procedures understandably want to consider whether disputants using these procedures are eventually satisfied with the resulting outcomes. A similar emphasis on satisfaction pervades the literature on techniques for resolving disputes and involving the public in regulatory policymaking. These techniques include the broad range of procedures and methods available to government for allowing input, feedback, and dialogue on regulatory policymaking, including comment solicitation, public hearings, workshops, dialogue groups, advisory committees, and negotiated rulemaking processes. Researchers evaluating these various techniques have often used participant satisfaction as a key evaluative criterion. While this criterion may seem suitable for evaluating private dispute resolution techniques, those who disagree in policy-making processes are not disputants in the same sense that landlords and tenants, creditors and debtors, or tortfeasors and victims are disputants in private life. Disputes in regulatory policymaking arise over public policy, not * Associate Professor of Public Policy and Chair of the Regulatory Policy Program, Harvard University, John F. -

RECENT PUBLICATIONS THE TRIALS OF ACADEME: THE NEW ERA OF CAMPUS LITIGA- TION. By Amy Gajda. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press. 2009. Pp. x, 334. $35.00. In this well-written new book, Professor Amy Gajda delves into the explosion of university-related litigation and questions why judges have moved away from their previous wil- lingness to allow the academy to regulate itself. Gajda argues persua- sively that this litigiousness creates a strange academic environment in which “[c]ollege administrators may . wish to check with counsel before assigning teaching packages” (p. 104). Of particular note is the incredible range of subjects touched on by campus litigation — most of which receive their own chapters in this work — including lofty subjects such as free speech, tort law, and privacy, but also more ab- surd claims seeking the regrading of papers or promissory estoppel ac- tions to prevent expulsion. Gajda lays blame for this trend fairly even- ly at the feet of litigants, legislators, and courts, decrying the ultimate outcome: a “trajectory of court decisions [that] . encourages and channels ever more campus controversies into court” (p. 109). While ultimately a work of retrospection and not a prescription for the fu- ture, this book is a useful primer on the legal challenges facing higher education.
