Wise Women? What Women Bring to the Bench and How to Talk About It Like Gentlemen
No full textThe University of Georgia School of Law\u27s 28th Edith House Lecture will be delivered by Dahlia Lithwick, a senior editor and legal correspondent for Slate magazine. She will present Wise Women? What Women Bring to the Bench and How to Talk About It Like Gentlemen on March 25 at 3:30 pm in the Larry Walker Room of Dean Rusk Hall, located on North Campus. According to Lithwick, the nomination and confirmation hearings of Justice Sonia Sotomayor once more put a spotlight on issues surrounding women and the law. Specifically, Sotomayor was attacked as a bully judge and also as a female exceptionalist who believed that women, specifically wise Latina women, made better decisions. During her talk, Lithwick will address the status of women and judging and will explore the question Do women really think differently than men, and if they do, is that a good thing? She will also discuss why the national conversation about women in the law is both impoverished and overheated, what women can do to change it, and what it means for the future of women on the bench and in the law. Her presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. Lithwick writes Supreme Court Dispatches and Jurisprudence in addition to covering other legal issues for Slate. Her work has also appeared in Elle, The New Republic, Newsweek, The New York Times, the Ottawa Citizen, The Washington Post and on CNN.com. She is a frequent commentator for several National Public Radio shows, including “Talk of the Nation.” She is also co-author of Me v. Everybody: Absurd Contracts for an Absurd World and I Will Sing Life: Voices from the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. Before joining Slate in 1999, Lithwick practiced family law at a firm in Reno, Nev. She also served as a judicial clerk for Chief Judge Procter Ralph Hug Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Lithwick earned her undergraduate degree in English from Yale University and her Juris Doctor from Stanford University

Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America
No full textIn the immediate aftershocks of Donald Trump’s victory over Hilary Clinton in 2016, women lawyers across the country, independently of one another, sprang into action. They were determined not to stand by while the Republican party did everything in their power to pursue devastating and often retrograde policies.
In Lady Justice, Dahlia Lithwick, one of the nation’s foremost legal commentators, illuminates these many heroes of the Trump years. From Sally Yates and Becca Heller, who fought the Muslim travel ban, to Roberta Kaplan, who sued the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, to Stacey Abrams, who worked to protect the voting rights of millions of Georgians, Lithwick dramatizes in thrilling detail the women lawyers who worked tirelessly to hold the line against the most chaotic presidency in living memory.
A celebration of the legal ingenuity and indefatigable spirit of the women whose work all too often went unrecognized at the time, Lady Justice is destined to be treasured and passed from hand to hand for generations to come.https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/justin_miller_awards_books/1020/thumbnail.jp
Penggunaan Itibar Dalam Kritik Matan Untuk Mengungkap Pelaku Perubahan Matan Hadis
No full textKeakuratan matan dapat mempengaruhi keakuratan pemahaman hadis tapi tak banyak artikel mengkaji hal tersebut. Artikel ini akan membahasnya dari sudut pandang kepemilikan riwayat. Penulis berusaha membuktikan bahwa kritik matan tidak sekedar mempertentangkan suatu hadis dengan dalil lain. Kritik matan juga dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi pelaku Perubahan lafal matan. Oleh karena itu, artikel menghadirkan bentuk kritik matan ulama salaf yang mencapai level tersebut. Kemudian artikel ini menggagas penggunaan tabel untuk mengidentifikasi rawi pengubah lafal matan. Dari kajian pustaka, diketahui bahwa ulama salaf telah mampu mengidentifikasi rawi yang melakukan Perubahan pada matan. Kajian musthalah hadits juga menunjukkan beberapa kaidah ilmu matan untuk melakukannya. Hanya saja, belum ada insumen penelitian yang didesain untuk hal ini. Juynboll pernah mencontohkan tabel kritik matan tapi tabelnya tidak mengakomodir konsep ilmu matan dalam musthalah hadits. Oleh karenanya, artikel ini mengembangkan tabel Juynboll menjadi dua instrumen penelitian untuk menganalisa kemasyhuran matan, illat pada matan, jenis riwayatnya, dan rawi yang menyebabkan Perubahan lafal matan
A Characterization of Complexity in Public Goods Games
No full textWe complete the characterization of the computational complexity of equilibrium in public goods games on graphs. In this model, each vertex represents an agent deciding whether to produce a public good, with utility defined by a "best-response pattern" determining the best response to any number of productive neighbors. We prove that the equilibrium problem is NP-complete for every finite non-monotone best-response pattern. This answers the open problem of [Gilboa and Nisan, 2022], and completes the answer to a question raised by [Papadimitriou and Peng, 2021], for all finite best-response patterns
Identifying Novel Genes and Pathways Correlated with Group 3 and Group 4 Medulloblastoma Metastasis to the Spine
No full textMedulloblastoma (MB) is a cancer of the cerebellum and the most common childhood brain malignancy. For children with high-risk MB, mortality is nearly always the result of the primary tumour having metastasized to the leptomeninges. This is due to the fact that current therapy for metastatic MB is less effective than that for primary disease. This is a product of the fact that most MB research has focused on primary tumours rather than metastases, due to the low availability of metastatic MB tissues for research, and, until recently, the absence of mouse models of metastatic MB. With greater understanding of primary MB has come a more rounded foundation upon which to build a better therapy. Thus, it is exciting to note that mouse models of MB dissemination now exist, and with these models has come first glimpses of mechanisms that may be driving MB metastasis. In an effort to build upon this new body of knowledge our lab engaged in a process of repeated selection for increased metastasis propensity among spine metastases from mouse patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of human Group 3 and Group 4 MB. By phenotypically selecting for increased metastasis propensity, we would necessarily also select for increased activity of the genes and pathways necessary and sufficient for increased metastasis propensity, some of which might represent valuable new therapeutic targets. In this manner, we have identified several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and Cancer Testis Antigen (CTA) genes increasingly transcribed in correlation with metastasis. Further, we have found that their increased transcription is followed closely by the activation of several well- known metastasis pathways. So lncRNAs and CTA genes may represent novel new components of the complex systems regulating MB metastasis.Ph.D
