"The circumstances of the death of Ms. Terri Schiavo have rightly disturbed consciences," Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said in the first statement from the Holy See on the case. "An existence was interrupted. A death was arbitrarily hastened because nourishing a person can never be considered employing exceptional means." Story Continues Below "There is no doubt that exceptions cannot be allowed to the principle of the sacredness of life from conception to its natural death," the Vatican spokesman said. "Besides the principle of Christian ethics, this is also a principle of human civilization." Cardinal Renato Martino, a top Vatican official, said Schiavo's death was a "human tragedy, but also an ethical, juridical and cultural tragedy." Speaking to reporters, he likened her loss of life in a hospice in Florida to a "death sentence executed through a cruel method."

Quite simply, I believe you have made one of the most breathtaking, poignant movies of our time. I cannot recall a film that has had such a profound effect on my understanding of history, religion and, perhaps most importantly, what we as human beings are capable of in relation to our treatment of one another. The film’s theme and central lesson is clear and timeless: In the depths of our humanity lies the capacity for great evil and utter ignorance, as well as an equal capacity for love, forgiveness and compassion. It is in this furnace of duality that the arrows of love and compassion are cast alongside the swords of war and hatred. Therein rages the battle that will seethe as long as human beings walk the earth. Your position as a filmmaker and as a Catholic is obvious from the beginning of the first act.

"The 'federalization' of street crime in recent decades, and the geographical reality that fewer blacks are in federal jury pools than the local jury pools in many locations, set the stage for the current dispute surrounding jury selection in the federal court in Boston.

« The al Qaeda-Canada Connection Main Afghan Clerics Don’t Trust Newsweek Retraction » May 16, 2005 Islamic Tantrums, Etc.: Newsweek one-line error sparks world-wide riots and violence throughout Muslim world I've waited several days to post on this, hoping someone else would comment on it - but I guess I'm the only one that considered what has happened across the Muslim world over the past few days as the tantrums of a sick culture. Sure, Newsweek did what the mainstream media does best in a world that places more importance on getting the story out first than on getting the story out right; they researched, wrote a piece, trashed the administration and our country, trashed the reputation of our military, and got the story out to the world - wrongly. Subsequently, sparked by a single paragraph in Newsweek alleging that US military interrogators had desecrated the Koran, a wave of anti-American demonstrations swept the Islamic world from the Gaza Strip to the Java Sea. In the past week it was condemned in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Malaysia and by the Arab League, and on Sunday, Afghan Muslim clerics threatened to call for a holy war against the United States. Think about it, this is from a sub-population of our planet that refers to themselves as peaceful? What does this say about their culture, their thoughtfulness, their mindset, and their suitability to join in the rest of mankind in making our planet a better place to live ? One can only describe the Islamist's and Muslim's reaction as tantrums - child-like fits, mindless violence, and just plain old lack of class and respect for life and other people's property.

Please refer to the course schedules for further details on current offerings. To select a course description, click on the appropriate link below: First Year Required Most of the work for the first year is required. There are several reasons for this. One reason is that there are some basic principles which any serious and thoughtful student would choose to study early in his or her career. The study of this fairly traditional material has become one of the experiences shared by almost all lawyers. Also, knowledge of all the materials to which the student is exposed makes it somewhat easier for first-year instructors to plan a program which minimizes overlapping presentations. By restricting elections in the first year, the School is able to keep the first-year students together in groups of about 90. The logistics of scheduling 90-person groups is much more manageable under restricted elections than it would be in an environment in which elections varied widely. The required curriculum is presented to four sections of students. One section begins in early summer; the other three sections begin in early fall. Courses include:

HIGHLIGHT: Were I called upon to decide whether the people had best be omitted in the Legislative or Judiciary department, I would say it is better to leave them out of the Legislature. The execution of the laws is more important than the making [of] them. Thomas Jefferson n^f1 TEXT: [*1363] Jury trial in civil actions is available in this country when it is guaranteed in the Constitution n^f2 or when the trial judge believes it is a good idea. n^f3 An important, substantial body of scholarship has analyzed the former type of jury usage; n^f4 this Note examines the latter. n^f5 Part I identifies the broad discretion of the trial judge to call and submit questions to an advisory jury. Part II examines the advisory jury in the context of recent experiments in finding alternative, flexible processes for dispute resolution. Part III then identifies the strong connection between advisory jury use and the goal of community participation in legal proceedings.

Go to Chapter 1 Laws criminalizing the use of certain drugs have been major targets of the general liberal critique of overcriminalization. As in the case of commercial sex, advocates of decriminalization have had little success in opposing drug laws, despite the sound arguments they have advanced that enforcement is costly and wasteful. It is not enough, however, to raise cost-benefit concerns; it appears necessary to criticize independently the common assumption that drug use is immoral. There has been a dearth of serious argument on this point. Yet a forceful argument can be made, consistent with the pattern of our argument about commercial sex, that laws criminalizing many forms of drug use violate certain basic rights of the person.

Main April 23, 2005 The Morality of Dying Suppose you wake up some morning uncertain of what to believe about life’s deep questions. The really Canadian thing to do is to turn to the public media for advice. Seldom will you be disappointed. Not long ago, for example, on the same day both this country’s national newspaper oracles contained complementary revelations on a matter of moral importance. The National Post explained how the sages at our Supreme Court had discovered in their sacred writings an opinion that capital punishment was “cruel and unusual”. To help dull-witted readers with the implications of this discovery, lawyer Clayton Ruby was on hand to explain that capital punishment was henceforward incompatible with our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. And that meant that “no future right wing government” can bring capital punishment back. Reassuring eh? But who were the victors? To answer that question you had to read the other national newspaper, the Globe and Mail. There you would learn that support for the death penalty had dropped from 73% in 1987 to a mere 52% today, according to a recent Ipsos-Reid poll. 52% is still a majority, you might say, but the article strongly suggested that the sands of time are running out for these unfashionable people. The direction of history is now clear and the reluctant majority is asked to jump on the bandwagon or face ... what? Isolation? The charge of intolerance? Worse things, perhaps, if anything worse is conceivable to opinion-makers. The only punishment that you could be certain of avoiding, at least while current opinion holds, was death at the hands of the public executioner.
