Extraordinary Writ of Prohibition in Missouri, The

The frequent use of the writ of prohibition by the Bar of this state has incited the writer to investigate the Missouri decisions and, if possible, to classify them to the end that we may make an orderly and analytical statement of the Missouri law on this important topic

Certiorari from the Missouri Supreme Court to the Courts of Appeals

In a previous number of the Law Series the writer published an article on the subject The Writ of Certiorari in Missouri, which treated generally of the use of that writ in this state. This article was published largely because the Supreme Court of Missouri in several cases then recently decided had overruled a long list of earlier decisions and had held that under the constitution it had authority by writ of certiorari to quash the judgment of a court of appeals that had not followed the last previous ruling of the Supreme Court on any question of law or equity. \u27 No attempt was made to discuss fully the extent of the constitutional authority of the Supreme Court where it is claimed that its last previous ruling has not been followed by a court of appeals or what may be considered by the Supreme Court upon issuance of a preliminary writ of certiorari. The decisions at that time seemed to contain too little material for a discussion of these topics; but the decisions during the last two years have involved more extended consideration of them, and it is thought that a discussion of all the cases would now be of interest to the profession in Missouri. As the questions involved are new and as there may be difference of opinion even as to just what has been decided a somewhat detailed statement of the cases will be necessary

[Review of] W. S. Penn. All My Sins Are Relatives

W.S. Penn writes with wit and cleverness, but also with passion and love, about himself, his blood relatives, and his spiritual relatives. If the sins of the father are visited upon the son, Penn is doubly doomed by his need to understand his grandfather’s generation as well as his father’s. It is his grandfather and his father, as well as numerous others, to whom the book is dedicated, and it is this line of family members who have created the writer and critic who explores his own life as a mixed blood by simultaneously exploring the lives of his relatives and of his relatives and of other writers such as Wendy Rose, Leslie Silko, and Mourning Dove

Where We Belong

2018 Jan Rehner Writing Prize Finalists, 1st Year Honourable Mention, WRIT 1700B“Where We Belong” grapples with questions of home and place: what is “home,” and how does being forced to leave your country complicate that concept? The writer combines suspense and reflection to arrive at a thoughtful answer. We travel a layered journey through the author’s fear and need to escape from country, while considering how that emotional trek necessarily transforms the notion of home. This author’s idea will resonate with anyone who has had to leave “home,” better illuminating a significant issue of our era

Construction and evaluation of classifiers for forensic document analysis

In this study we illustrate a statistical approach to questioned document examination. Specifically, we consider the construction of three classifiers that predict the writer of a sample document based on categorical data. To evaluate these classifiers, we use a data set with a large number of writers and a small number of writing samples per writer. Since the resulting classifiers were found to have near perfect accuracy using leave-one-out cross-validation, we propose a novel Bayesian-based cross-validation method for evaluating the classifiers.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/10-AOAS379 the Annals of Applied Statistics (http://www.imstat.org/aoas/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org
