Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Law - Philosophy, History and Sociology of Law, grade: A, University of Manchester (School of Law), course: Jurisprudence, language: English, abstract: Throughout their intellectual lives, eminent legal theorists, Ronald Dworkin and Herbert Lionel Adolphus Hart, have had an ongoing debate where they have presented their own theories of law, whilst criticising each other¿s theories. In fact, Dworkin¿s criticisms of Hart¿s theory are the basis on which Dworkin uncovers his own theory. Their arguments, at times, can be tricky for people other than themselves to get a hand on; but what can easily be detected is that Dworkin thinks there is an argument between them, whilst Hart does not. This paper will dissect the current nature of dispute between Hart and Dworkin following an in depth, yet concise, elucidation of the main aspects of Dworkin¿s attack on Hart¿s positivism in both Taking Rights Seriously and Law¿s Empire. This will be followed by Hart¿s response in his Postscript to the second edition of The Concept of Law, and an examination of the subsequent academic opinions that have arisen on the basis of their debate.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2007 in the subject Economy - Health Economics, grade: A, University of British Columbia (Vancouver School of Economics), course: Economics 490, language: English, abstract: Mothers play such a big role in raising and nurturing children and shaping their futures. They are essentially the first educators of children. But is this role a significant one? This paper seeks to answer the question: ¿What is the effect of education of women on the malnutrition rate of children?¿ If we can prove that education of women has a positive effect on the well-being of children, even small changes in the policies and economic foundations of underdeveloped and developing countries will have a huge impact on the well-being of children and consequently, in the sustenance of government institutions. It can have a substantial impact on the well-being of future generations. In this paper, I will discuss applicable literature on the topic, collect data, analyze the data on a regression model, and discuss the results of my findings.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Family Law / Law of Succession, grade: A, University of Manchester (School of Law), course: Child Law, language: English, abstract: This paper will assess how well children¿s views are incorporated into child law decisions in England and Wales, specifically when a court is considering a care order, and whether there is any room for improvement. Allowing children to express their views over decisions which greatly affect them is a principle that has grown substantially in the last several decades. However, the extent to which children can influence and participate in civil cases has been controversial. Both sociologists and legal scholars have been concerned whether allowing a child to articulate their views is truly in their best interest. Some believe that children cannot comprehend the importance of such life-altering decisions; whilst others argue that if children¿s views were followed, it would challenge parental decisions and choices.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Industrial / Labour, grade: A, University of Manchester (School of Law), course: Employment Law, language: English, abstract: The relatively recent case of James v London Borough of Greenwich, [2008] IRLR 302 has shaped English employment law surrounding the legal status of temporary agency workers. In recent years, there has been a shift in the attitudes surrounding the employment status of agency workers by the both the judiciary and Parliament. This paper is aimed at critically assessing the implications of James in order to determine whether the current position benefits both the private recruitment industry and individuals who value flexibility in their working arrangements. This will be outlined only after a brief, but concise, summary of the legal position prior to the decision in James.
