Moving from Class to Chambers: Five Tips for Training New Clerks to Write for You

For eleven years, I have taught new legal writers. I primarily teach UNC Law’s 1L research, writing, and advocacy class, but in recent years have also taught an upper-level seminar titled Judicial Clerkship Writing for those students interested in learning to write like a clerk. The students in both classes differ in skill level, naturally, but they have in common that they have never before done the type of writing the class requires of them. Judges do much the same. Each time a new clerk or intern joins your chambers, you start training and guiding anew. Below are five increasingly specific tips on how to make that process as smooth as possible

Restructuring and the Nonmetropolitan Turnaround: The California Evidence

This is the publisher's version, also available electronically from http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/yearbook_of_the_association_of_pacific_coast_geographers/v048/48.warf.html.Conceptions of nonmetropolitan growth have rarely benefited from current debates in social theory. An analytical interpretation of the literature on the "turnaround" is offered from a structuralist perspective. In this model of industrial restructuring, the routinization of the labor process via capital intensification is seen to engender the dispersal of firms to outlying areas through the internalization of linkages. Empirical evidence from California confirms this notion, as population growth is tied to labor markets in which capital-intensive production forms are extensive. Economic base analysis indicates the rapid growth of the service sector is relatively less significant in such areas

Challenges and opportunities for effective data collection in global neurosurgery: Traumatic brain injury surveillance experience in Malawi

Global health research can transform clinical and surgical practice worldwide. Partnerships between US academic centers and hospitals in low- and middle-income counties can improve clinical care at the host institution hospital and give the visiting institution access to a large volume of valuable research data. Recognizing the value of these partnerships, the University of North Carolina (UNC) formed a partnership with Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) in Lilongwe, Malawi. The Department of Neurosurgery joined the partnership with KCH and designed a Head Trauma Surveillance Registry. The success of this registry depended on the development of methods to accurately collect head injury data at KCH. Since medical record documentation is often unreliable in this setting, data collection teams were implemented to capture data from head trauma patients on a 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week basis. As data collection improved, pilot groups tested methods to collect new variables and the registry expanded. UNC provided onsite and remote oversight to strengthen the accuracy of the data. Data accuracy still remains a hurdle in global research. Data collection teams, oversight from UNC, pilot group testing, and meaningful collaboration with local physicians improved the accuracy of the head trauma registry. Overall, these methods helped create a more accurate epidemiological and outcomes-centered analysis of brain injury patients at KCH to date

Digitalização, globalização e capital financeiro hipermóvel

Since the late 20th century and the microelectronics revolution, capital has become thoroughly digitized, moving effortlessly around the world through electronic funds transfer systems (EFTS). This paper charts the rise of electronic money since the collapse of the Bretton-Woods regulatory system in the 1970s and the shift into extremely mobile funds that circulate through ber optics lines. Second, it examines some of the world’s largest EFTS systems and their impacts on capital markets of different types. The third part focuses on how digital money has undermined na- tional nancial regulations imposed by nation-states. In the fourth section, the role of EFTS in the growth of offshore banking centers is explored. Desde o fim do século XX, e com a revolução da microeletrônica, o capital tornou-se completamente digitalizado, movendo-se sem esforço por todo o mundo por meio de sistemas eletrônicos de transferência de fundos (EFTS). Este artigo apresenta o aumento do dinheiro eletrônico desde o colapso do sistema regulatório de Bretton-Woods, na década de 1970, e a mudança para fundos extremamente móveis que circulam por cabos de fibra óptica. Em segundo lugar, examina alguns dos maiores sistemas EFTS do mundo e seus impactos em diferentes tipos de mercados de capitais. A terceira parte discute a forma como o dinheiro digital enfraqueceu as regulações financeiras nacionais impostas pelos Estados-nação. Por fim, a quarta seção analisa o papel dos EFTS no crescimento dos centros bancários offshore
