The Jurisprudence of Judge Hardy Cross Dillard

The purpose of this article is to provide a critical assessment of Judge Dillard\u27s performance during his tenure on the International Court of Justice. Much of this article will be jurisprudential in scope, endeavoring to examine developments in international legal theory and international organizations during the past two decades and to assess recent decisions written by the Court. The approach will in part be an institutional one, taking into consideration the ability of an individual member of the Court to shape decisional outcomes of an international body which must resolve contentious litigation and render advisory opinions within the structure of a small group decision-making process substantially different from that of United States domestic courts. Yet, the thoroughness of such an approach is necessarily limited by the peculiar characteristics of the Court as an international judicial body representing the principal legal systems of the world and also functioning as the only principal organ of the United Nations which is composed of individuals not directly representing States. The focus, then, will be primarily personal--an attempt to evaluate Judge Dillard\u27s official opinions in light of the corpus of his jurisprudence written during his years as law professor and dean. The inquiry will focus especially upon the relationship between theory and practice, between professor and practitioner, keeping in mind Judge Dillard\u27s observation that a judge must find a solution for every difficulty, whereas a professor must find a difficulty for every solution

“I Make These Confessions My Own” Lutheran Confessional Subscription in the Twenty-first Century Robert Kolb and Charles P. Arand

The spirit of Augsburg and the method of the Wittenberg theologians carry the content of the Lutheran confessional documents into the many societies and cultures of the twenty-first century in which God calls Lutherans to repeat their confession of faith for the benefit of church and world

The Delegation of Authority to Committees of the Board of Directors: Directors\u27 Liabilities

Recent action by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange make it clear that the Commission and the Exchange regard the delegation of corporate board of directors\u27 authority to independent committees as beneficial to the public interest. In this Article, the author examines the potential for individual director liability that arises from such delegation of authority

Viscous photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Theoretical studies of the production of real thermal photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are performed. The space-time evolution of the colliding system is modelled using MUSIC, a 3+1D relativistic hydrodynamic simulation, using both its ideal and viscous versions. The inclusive spectrum and its azimuthal angular anisotropy are studied separately, and the relative contributions of the different photon sources are highlighted. It is shown that the photon v2 coefficient is especially sensitive to the details of the microscopic dynamics like the equation of state, the ratio of shear viscosity over entropy density, eta/s, and to the morphology of the initial state.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures.
