Abstract
This paper presents an argument against capping medical malpractice awards. The paper discusses several reasons why capping awards should not be adopted as public policy, contending that capping limits injured patients' access to justice.
From the Paper
"Capping medical-malpractice awards should not be adopted as public policy. It would be grossly inappropriate for several reasons. The much-discussed crisis in medical care that doctors and insurers attribute to malpractice litigation is misdirected and can be traced to other causes. The idea that malpractice awards are out of control and are increasing all the time is simply wrong and cannot be sustained by the facts which suggests that attempts to cap award amounts for punitive damages are being made in bad

Abstract
This paper first explains that first Academy Awards 'Best Picture' film "Wings", directed by William A. Wellman, and the 2006 winner "Crash", directed by Paul Haggis, use the same basic elements of human existence to tell their stories about the society of their times. Next, the author relates that, in both films, their main characters are paired up and bonded while a third or several other parties intervene through the course of the film to break that bond. Each film ends with the theme of redemption. The paper underscores that both films were deemed to be unique.
From the Paper
"Fast forward 50 years and Paul Haggis is biting into the theater scene of Ontario, Canada. The future mega-director would leave home at 22 years old to write television scripts in Hollywood. He didn't truly come into his own until the turn of the century with such blockbuster films as "Million Dollar Baby", which he wrote. "Crash" was his second movie to direct and Haggis seemed to follow the theme of "Million Dollar Baby" with social stigmas, outwardly racist characters and human redemption through tragedy."

Abstract
This is a nursing proposal suggesting what nurses can do to reduce risk while strongly advocating caps on malpractice awards. The current legislature on malpractice caps and the level of reduced care to patients is discussed. The patients' own inability to afford service, the affordability to practice by physicians and their need to increase patients' costs for services by ordering many more than medically necessary are all covered.
From the Paper
"There is a vicious cycle taking place in the world of healthcare that involves patients, attorneys, physicians and healthcare professionals and facilities and insurance companies. Medical malpractice premium rates are forcing doctors and nurse practitioners to order medically unnecessary tests and pad bills or fold their practices. According to the Center for Legal Policy (as cited by Stableford, 2005) "unnecessary medical tests and constant referrals to specialists for second and third opinions costs an unnecessary $60 billion to $100 billion." Law suits continue to climb at an alarming rate with unconscionable awards that are not consistent with something that can be measured tangibly. Attorneys play on the sympathy of juries for neurological deformities of infants that could have naturally occurred genetically, not necessarily as a result of medical error, yet huge awards for punitive damages are awarded."

Abstract
This paper explains that, for more than a decade, scholars and judges of the legal world of international arbitration have been debating if a national court must enforce a foreign arbitral award that has been set aside by the authorities of the country where the award was made. The core issue, the author points out, relates to the identification of the legal order to which the arbitral award, which is being rendered in a given country, is said to belong. The paper presents cases that support showing deference to the judge of the seat and cases that support treating the arbitral award as an international decision. The sources are listed as footnotes instead of in a bibliography.
Table of Contents:
The Case for Showing Deference to the Judge of the Seat
The Case for Treating the Arbitral Award as an International Judicial Decision
From the Paper
"This is brightly illustrated by a 1999 decision Baker Marine where the Second Circuit declined to enforce two awards made in Lagos, which had been set aside by the Nigerian Federal High Court for various reasons including excess of jurisdiction of the arbitrators and improper award of punitive damages . The US Court of Appeals considered that the parties had chosen Nigerian law to govern both their arbitral proceedings and their substantive rights and that therefore the US public policy on arbitration directed the judges to give effect to the intent of the parties by respecting the outcome of the dispute as decided under Nigerian law."

Abstract
This paper provides a comparative analysis of the Academy Awards and MTV-MA as award-giving bodies. The paper posits that both award-giving bodies have similarities and differences that arise from the culture, audience, commercial value and socio-political relevance of the movies and processes that each award-giving body undergoes. The paper in general attributes specific segments of American culture as the primary driver that distinguishes the Oscars from the MTV-MA.
From the Paper
"These award-giving programs have their own niche and place at the spectrum of American entertainment. The Academy Awards' image differs radically from the MTV Movie Awards, though both programs enjoy popularity and renown not only in the entertainment business, but more specifically because of their influence in American culture. The Academy Awards' (referred to from now on as the Oscars) and MTV-MA's (MTV Movie Awards) importance is based, then, on their relevance to the entertainment business and the general public (as the audience and patrons of the entertainment business)."
