    Ethics of Prosecution

    Get PDF
    This article considers the codes of conduct of professionals carrying out prosecution work, and obedience to these codes. Such codes are referred to as the “legal ethics” of the respective professions. Three codes of conduct apply: The Code for Crown Prosecutors, the Solicitors Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for the Bar.Paper delivered by Professor Avrom Sherr, Director, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies as Woolf Chair in Legal Education at a Public Lecture, at the IALS in 1998

    Mammalian myosin I alpha, I beta, and I gamma: new widely expressed genes of the myosin I family.

    A polymerase chain reaction strategy was devised to identify new members of the mammalian myosin I family of actin-based motors. Using cellular RNA from mouse granular neurons and PC12 cells, we have cloned and sequenced three 1.2-kb polymerase chain reaction products that correspond to novel mammalian myosin I genes designated MMI alpha, MMI beta, MMI gamma. The pattern of expression for each of the myosin I's is unique: messages are detected in diverse tissues including the brain, lung, kidney, liver, intestine, and adrenal gland. Overlapping clones representing full-length cDNAs for MMI alpha were obtained from mouse brain. These encode a 1,079 amino acid protein containing a myosin head, a domain with five calmodulin binding sites, and a positively charged COOH-terminal tail. In situ hybridization reveals that MMI alpha is highly expressed in virtually all neurons (but not glia) in the postnatal and adult mouse brain and in neuroblasts of the cerebellar external granular layer. Expression varies in different brain regions and undergoes developmental regulation. Myosin I's are present in diverse organisms from protozoa to vertebrates. This and the expression of three novel members of this family in brain and other mammalian tissues suggests that they may participate in critical and fundamental cellular processes

    Implementation Research to Catalyze Advances in Health Systems Strengthening in sub-Saharan Africa: the African Health Initiative (Preface)

    Get PDF
    The importance of strengthening health systems has gained increased attention in recent years, and there have been renewed calls for a focus on health systems as part and parcel of meeting the health related Millennium Development Goals. Despite the growing focus on health systems, the largest global health initiatives -- suchas PEPFAR, PMI, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria, and GAVI -- continue to have a disease specific focus. The divergence in opinion on what constitutes health systems strengthening and the scarcity of rigorous evaluations of various approaches undermine efforts to focus on health systems as a means of improving population health. In response to this challenge, the Doris DukeCharitable Foundation (DDCF) launched the African Health Initiative (AHI) to catalyze significant advances instrengthening health systems by supporting Population Health and Implementation Training (PHIT) Partnerships in five diverse sub-Saharan African contexts. Each Partnership is implementing and evaluating an innovative project designed to address key health systems constraints and improve service delivery and health outcomes. This article is a preface to a series of reports

    An overture for well-tempered regulators: four variations on a LETR theme

    Get PDF
    This paper is a development of the Association of Law Teachers� annual Lord Upjohn lecture, delivered on 29 January 2015 at City Law School, London, by the principal investigators of the Legal Education and Training Review�s (LETR) research team. In it, each of the authors takes a different theme arising from the LETR Report, and explores its implications and application, focusing on research and innovation; access and flexibility; deprofessionalisation, and, finally, reflecting on the way the Report addressed themes of common training, oversupply and access to justice. As our title indicates, the paper comprises both individual performances and performance as a consort, and we hope that in this way, we enact one of our key themes: the social nature of legal education and its regulation
