Rosie O'Neill goes to law school: the clinical education of the New Age public defender
Article Abstract:
Feminist jurisprudential theory and clinical legal education theory can be bridged to create a new theory of public defense that incorporates professional obligations with social and ethical concerns. Modern public defenders, especially female and/or feminist public defenders, deal with a host of complex legal, social and moral issues. A training method that borrows from theories about the systemic inequality of the justice system and about how to reconcile personal morality with professional obligations in the criminal defense context will be useful for modern criminal defense practitioners.

Effect of input from a mechanical model on clinical judgment
Article Abstract:
Many studies have found that informational models do a better job of predicting than human managers. However, managers still resist basing their decisions upon models. This study tests the possibility that feedback from models which could be factored into a manager's own decision process could help improve decision making. In the study, MBA students tried to predict the standings of baseball teams based upon statistical factors. Feedback from models improved the subjects' performance but not to the level of the model itself.
