...Professor Sharon McCamy ENG 115: English Composition 1/31/2016 Revised 2/11/2016 Imagine one day your son or daughter came to you with the horrifying news that he/she is HIV positive. What kind of impact would that have on you? How would you react to this devastating news? Where would you begin to do your research on such a matter? Who could you turn to? I understand that none of the board members in this small town in Gwinnett County called Little Foot can fathom the idea around me wanting to open a HIV Clinic for people living with HIV or AID’s which I would call Positive Impact. However, I can assure the community of Little Foot that, by opening this clinic, I can produce a positive impact by helping reduce the spread of HIV and the homelessness of people with it, and that it will help provide free counseling for your family and or friends, in order to combat the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. I want to also explain to you facts and personal examples of why this stigma of HIV is destroying the very communities around us. In Little Foot alone 10.5% of the population is recorded to be infected with the virus in 2015. That’s almost 1100 of our population of 10,000 people. You all sit in your board rooms thinking that it can’t be you or one of your loved ones but I assure you it can. “One in eight people living with HIV are unaware of their infection” (aids.gov). This means that someone in your board room could be infected and not even know. Positive Impact would therefore provide...

...CRIME, PROCEDURE AND EVIDENCE IN A COMPARATIVE AND INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT This book aims to honour the work of Professor Mirjan Damaška, Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School and a prominent authority for many years in the fields of comparative law, procedural law, evidence, international criminal law and Continental legal history. Professor Damaška’s work is renowned for providing new frameworks for understanding different legal traditions. To celebrate the depth and richness of his work and discuss its implications for the future, the editors have brought together an impressive range of leading scholars from different jurisdictions in the fields of comparative and international law, evidence and criminal law and procedure. Using Professor Damaška’s work as a backdrop, the essays make a substantial contribution to the development of comparative law, procedure and evidence. After an introduction by the editors and a tribute by Harold Koh, Dean of Yale Law School, the book is divided into four parts. The first part considers contemporary trends in national criminal procedure, examining cross-fertilisation and the extent to which these trends are resulting in converging practices across national jurisdictions. The second part explores the epistemological environment of rules of evidence and procedure. The third part analyses human rights standards and the phenomenon of hybridisation in transnational and international criminal law. The final part of the book assesses Professor...
