Missing from much of the scholarship on 18th century British politics is recognition of the extensive participation of aristocratic women. Fortunately, as a literate and self-conscious group, these women created and preserved vast manuscript collections now available to historians. In Sacred to Female Patriotism, Judith S. Lewis taps into these sources to demonstrate how the social and political worlds of Georgian Britain interacted to give women an influential voice in politics that was previously unimagined. The result is a lively, powerful, and important story that challenges many

Abstract.  This paper presents a unified theory of growth involving human capital accumulation, labour specialization, market expansion and falling fertility rates. The model suggests that these processes, often analysed separately, are intimately linked. The accumulation of specialized human capital increases the gains to labour specialization, leading agents to increase their participation in markets and reduce time spent at home. This raises the opportunity cost of child raising, lowering fertility rates. The model suggests a central role for market transaction costs in determining the timing and rate of fertility declines linked to rising income.

Educators often use role-playing exercises that involve problem based
learning in their courses to improve their students' critical and
analytical skills, introduce them to new ways of thinking, increase
interaction with their fellow students, and to enhance student
interest in course lessons and materials (Greening 1998; Albanese 1993; Hensley 1993).A popular role playing simulation is moot court
(Deardoff and Aliotta 2003; Guiliuzza 1991). Moot courts are
academic simulations of appellate advocacy that educate students
about the law and the judicial process. Students, acting as lawyers
or judges, "try" a case before an appellate court.2 In addition to
acting as lawyers or judges, students are assigned to serve as "law
clerks, reporters, or amicus brief writers" (Knerr
and Sommerman 2001, 4). Moot court is an
extremely fluid pedagogical tool which can be used for more than
learning about the law or the judicial process. It has been used in
a variety of disciplines including political science, media,
history, journalism, sociology, art, economics, business, and the
life sciences to educate students about a variety of subjects such
as history, journalistic rights, anti-trust laws, or professional
ethics (Carlson and Skaggs 2000; Dhooge
1999; Bentley 1996).

Describes the design of a moot court suitable for the undergraduate & high school levels. The features of moot courts are identified before comparing them to mock trials & delineating the benefits of doing a moot court. Important considerations for facilitators center on costs & format as well as decisions related to the integration of modern communication technology into the moot court experience. Issues to be addressed in case selection include choosing a real vs fictitious case & the case's complexity, while choosing a date to hold the court is another consideration. Graded assignments for the moot court are discussed, along with the instructor's three-stage role: pre-oral argument, oral argument, & post-oral argument. The need for rules is noted, & remarks are offered on assigning student roles, seen as one of the most important & difficult tasks of the instructor. Course design is viewed as a key to preparing & motivating the students for the moot court. Three strategies are used in evaluating student performance, & the importance of student feedback is made apparent for exposing & confronting difficulties with the moot court. J. Zendejas

Governments across the globe are grappling to find an appropriate and effective way to regulate Internet activity. Singapore's experience with Internet regulation is particularly instructive, illustrating the inherent tension when a government simultaneously champions the Net's commercial, educational, and social potential while attempting to protect its population from material that offends the community's normative sensibility. Singapore has enacted regulations that require Internet Service Providers to filter content at the network level through the use of proxy servers. In addition, Singapore has issued an Internet Code of Practice that establishes the framework for acceptable speech in cyberspace. In the United States, Congress faces a similar struggle: constructing an appropriate legislative response to issues posed by the Internet while balancing competing interests of free speech and community values. Despite political, cultural, and social differences between Singapore and the United States, both nations' fledgling attempts to regulate the Internet have been driven by similar goals and have led to remarkably similar conclusions. Regulation in cyberspace presents challenges that transcend national idiosyncrasies and will potentially push divergent nations toward a common legal regime in which a limited market-driven response might provide the most effective instrument of control.
