Nafta\u27s Approval: A Story Of Congress At Work From International Relations To National Accountability

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force on January 1, 1994.\u27 Since then, the new General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) has been approved; control of the United States Congress has changed from Democrat to Republican; Mexico is going through a financial crisis; and apparently nothing dramatic, for better or for worse, has yet happened to the American economy

Clinical Legal Education: A (Brief) Comparison of the Evolving Structures and Pedagogy in Mexico, Canada and the United States

This Article highlights the development and current state of clinical legal education in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, and examines recent trends in clinical legal education in each country. This is a timely topic. Canadian clinics and, in particular, Ontario-based law school affiliated clinics are grappling with recently-imposed post-graduation alternatives to traditional articling practices, while Canadian law schools are examining whether additional experiential courses should be offered to law students. U.S. law schools face difficult choices with respect to clinical education in light of sustained lower enrollments and resulting adjusted budget realities, as well as the pressures of meeting the needs of a radically restructured legal marketplace. Mexican legal clinics have a proud and storied history of providing free legal services to local communities and are rapidly evolving into more formal structures, even as the market for a legal education in Mexico is undergoing a transformative change

Kinetics and mechanism of the hydrogen-evolution reaction on mercury in HCl-dimethylsulphoxide solutions

Rapid galvanostatic and potentiostatic stationary E/I curves, E/time characteristics at current interruption and electrode capacitance measurements were made to investigate hydrogen-ion discharge on mercury in HCl-DMSO solutions, with and without the addition of LiCl as supporting electrolyte. Kinetic parameters and their temperature and concentration dependences are discussed in terms of the initial electron-trnsfer reaction as rate-determining.Instituto de Investigaciones Fisicoquímicas Teóricas y Aplicada

Electrode behaviour of nickel in HCl-dimethylsulphoxide solutions : I. The cathodic evolution of hydrogen

The electrochemical reduction of the solvated hydrogen ion dissolved in DMSO as HCl was investigated from 25 to 45°C, at different concentrations and ionic strength. Stationary and non-stationary techniques were employed to obtained the kinetic parameters. The results were interpreted with a reaction scheme involving an initial electron transfer as rds, probably followed by an electrochemical desorption step.Instituto de Investigaciones Fisicoquímicas Teóricas y Aplicada
