Note that if you miss too many meetings, you may be required to submit additional make-up work to be able to receive credit for the course. The primary mode of instruction will be an interactive lecture/discussion format, of the week\u27s topic, during which you will have a chance to raise issues and ask questions that arise from the readings, and which will include review of assigned quantitative problem sets when relevant. In addition, on Tuesdays we shall have a \u27Buy Side\u27 investor research meeting, during which we shall play the role of investors and discuss our fantasy portfolios.

Constitutional Redundancies and Clarifying Clauses

My topic today is redundancy of a certain sort-eonstitutional redundancy. You will perhaps have noticed that my topic sentence itself arguably involved a kind of redundancy-the word redundancy appeared twice. Does this make it a bad topic sentence? I hope not. Rather, I hope the end of my topic sentence helped clarify the beginning of the sentence by making express what might otherwise only have been implied. Since I am not a linguist but a constitutional scholar, when I said my topic today is redundancy of a certain sort, most of you probably inferred that I meant to address constitutional redundancy. Rather than leaving this to inference, however, I thought it best to be explicit. But suppose I had said instead that my topic today is constitutional redundancy, which is my topic today. Would that have been a bad topic sentence? I think so. But what, exactly, is the difference between these two kinds of redundancy-the good kind and the bad kind-and how is that difference relevant to constitutional interpretation? These questions are also part of my topic today

Some remarks on the social and professionals status of physicians and surgeons in the iberian world, 16th-18th centuries

These cursory remarks, which do not pretend to do more thanbriefly discuss some aspects of this topic, will deal mainly with Portugaland her overseas possessions, since I assume that this angle willbe less familiar to you than the Spanish and Spanish-American

Does God Have the Moral Standing to Blame?

In this paper, I introduce a problem to the philosophy of religion – the problem of divine moral standing – and explain how this problem is distinct from (albeit related to) the more familiar problem of evil (with which it is often conflated). In short, the problem is this: in virtue of how God would be (or, on some given conception, is) “involved in” our actions, how is it that God has the moral standing to blame us for performing those very actions? In light of the recent literature on “moral standing”, I consider God’s moral standing to blame on two models of “divine providence”: open theism, and theological determinism. I contend that God may have standing on open theism, and – perhaps surprisingly – may also have standing, even on theological determinism, given the truth of compatibilism. Thus, if you think that God could not justly both determine and blame, then you will have to abandon compatibilism. The topic of this paper thus sheds considerable light on the traditional philosophical debate about the conditions of moral responsibility

An evidence-based guide to occlusion and articulation. Part 4: Unworn dentitions

SUMMARY AND PREAMBLE TO THE SERIESAlthough this is essentially a review, it has not been written in the passive, third-person style normally associated with scientific writing, as it is intended to be thought-provoking and, hopefully, educational. It has therefore been written in more of a conversational style, and is aimed at students, dentists and dental technicians who are receptive to a slightly different view of occlusion and articulation, based on evidence. Occlusion is a topic that has become a kind of archaic minefield of conflicting ideas, propositions, and above all, solutions, most of which are based on a complete lack of understanding of the evolution and development of teeth, and by extension, of clinically objective evidence. That in itself is a statement of conflict (and perhaps even heretical), but it is by way of warning that this guide is not going to be much like anything you will find in standard text-books of dentistry or dental technology. It is, rather, an attempt to help you navigate through what you will read elsewhere, in the hope that eventually you will find an understanding that you can live with. It will appear as a sequential series in 7 Parts

Assisted dying and Lord Falconer’s recommendations; to what extent should medical and public opinion be considered when amending the law relating to assisted dying?

Assisted dying in the UK is a controversial topic, this is due to a massive peak in public and medical interest in the topic. This is because of two recent Landmark cases Tony Nicklinson and Debbie Purdy. These campaigners for the right to die were arguing cases associated with the prosecution of their spouses assisting in their suicide which is illegal under the Suicide Act 1961.The biggest debate on assisted dying is whether you should have the right to be assisted in dying. This is a very controversial topic which has been contested by new bills presented to parliament such as Lord Falconer’s Bill: Assisted Dying (2014). This was the biggest contest ever to the law on assisted dying. The aim for our research project is to highlight issues with the law; analysing where the law that could be reformed. We will look specifically at how medical and public opinions could be considered when amending the law relating to assisted dying

Data-driven personalisation and the law - a primer: collective interests engaged by personalisation in markets, politics and law

Interdisciplinary Workshop on â��Data-Driven Personalisation in Markets, Politics and Law' on 28 June 2019Southampton Law School will be hosting an interdisciplinary workshop on the topic of â��Data-Driven Personalisation in Markets, Politics and Law' on Friday 28 June 2019, which will explore the pervasive and growing phenomenon of â��personalisationâ�� â�� from behavioural advertising in commerce and micro-targeting in politics, to personalised pricing and contracting and predictive policing and recruitment. This is a huge area which touches upon many legal disciplines as well as social science concerns and, of course, computer science and mathematics. Within law, it goes well beyond data protection law, raising questions for criminal law, consumer protection, competition and IP law, tort law, administrative law, human rights and anti-discrimination law, law and economics as well as legal and constitutional theory. Weâ��ve written a position paper, https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/428082/1/Data_Driven_Personalisation_and_the_Law_A_Primer.pdf which is designed to give focus and structure to a workshop that we expect will be strongly interdisciplinary, creative, thought-provoking and entertaining. We like to hear your thoughts! Call for papers! Should you be interested in disagreeing, elaborating, confirming, contradicting, dismissing or just reflecting on anything in the paper and present those ideas at the workshop, send us an abstract by Friday 5 April 2019 (Ms Clare Brady [email protected] ). We aim to publish an edited popular law/social science book with the most compelling contributions after the workshop.Prof Uta Kohl, Prof James Davey, Dr Jacob Eisler<br/
