Democracy and judicial Independence

One of the pillars of British liberal democracy is the independence of the judiciary; but the problem is how to reconcile judicial independence with efficiency in the administration of justice and with public accountability. The former question, though of immense importance, has received ameliorative attention only in the last few years. The latter question has been resolved largely through the consistent, apolitical appointment of persons of high ability to the Bench. One useful mechanism to promote the continued smooth functioning of the judicial system in the U.K. might be the establishment of a Department of State concerned entirely with the administration of justice and judiciary

FREE COUNTRY

Sir Sydney Kentridge KCMG, QC, Hart Publishing Oxford 2012 ISBN-10: 1849464677,  ISBN-13: 978-1849464673 Price £20.00 hb‘Free Country’ is a collection of lectures and talks, twelve in all, given by Sir Sydney Kentridge QC, over a period running from 1979 to 2011 and now published as a collection. Sir Sydney became in 2009 an honorary LLD of the University of Buckingham, an addition to the seven or eight honorary degrees that he already held from Universities in England, South Africa and elsewhere in the world. Susan Edwards, Professor in Law at the University of Buckingham, asked me to write a review of “Free Country’ for inclusion in this year’s edition of The Denning Law Journal, published annually by the University. It was an honour and privilege to have received this invitation, my only qualification for which is that besides, like Sir Sydney, having had a career as a lawyer in England, I like him, was educated and brought up in South Africa and, when I came to England,  did so on a South African passport. Having read, and re-read, the remarkable collection of lectures and talks that constitutes ‘Free Country’ I find it impossible to write about the collection without first writing about its very distinguished author

The teaching of dance : a characterization of dance teacher behaviors in technique and choreography classes at the university level

The study intended to characterize dance teacher behaviors as observed in two choreography and two technique classes at the university level. The characterization was made in terms of verbal and nonverbal behaviors, the directness and indirectness of approach, the flexibility of strategy and the dominant teaching patterns. Prior to data collection, Joyce's System of teacher behaviors analysis (1967) was modified to account for the nonverbal and verbal communication as well as the teacher-student interaction taking place in dance classes. A training program using the modified system (LAJS), subsequently carried out by two coders, gave opportunity to estimate reliability of the tool. Satisfactory standards of objectivity and reliability were met

Educational criteria to be observed when employing the staff of an orphanage

In America, life is unique and precious. Each individual is recognized according to his capabilities and development irrespective of his station in life. No two children require similar treatment, every child is an independent social unit. The soul of American life is to respect a person for what he is. As a result of this philosophy the social and educational adjustments must be made individually. Every one has his own problems. To insure the most effective solution of these problems the individual must be reckoned with as an important person. The child is the concern of all people. Proof of the truth of this statement is the existence of an orphanage
