Judicial Ethics
Judicial ethics is a surprisingly underexplored area and this volume marks an important point in this relatively new but commendably growing field of studies. The areas covered range from the metaethics of decision and how this impacts the judiciary to the ethical evaluation of the substance and procedure of a decision and codes of judicial conduct. Addressing each of these meanings and more, this collection brings together for the first time many, if not most, of the 'canons' (or soon-to-be 'canons') of modern judicial ethics scholarship. The previously published articles have created new interdisciplinary, historical, cultural and doctrinal understandings of judicial character, conduct, regulation and development, and bringing them together in one volume provides readers with the opportunity to review the field more readily and comprehensively.

The Mevlidi Sherif
The Mevlidi Sherif is one of the most commonly recited poems in the world today. Composed by the esteemed scholar and poet Süleyman Chelebi in the 14th century, this masterpiece of Turkish literature elegantly conveys the birth-story of the Prophet Muhammad, interweaving both the physical and spiritual dimensions of this narrative, gracefully reviving faith in the hearts of all who are privileged enough to listen. Venerated for over 600 years by the Muslims of Anatolia and the Balkans regardless of devotion, this classic poem continues to lend its treasures almost every day, both at times of festivity and sorrow. For some, it is celebrating the love of the Prophet, a source of inspiration a...
Reviews of National Policies for Education
A team of examiners from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reviews Portugal's education system in a three-part report. Part One begins with the consequences of the 1974 revolution, Portugal's economic problems, its impending attachment to the European Economic Community, and rising public expectations about education. It continues with criticism of the Ministry of Education, which is overstaffed and has duplicate functions. The examiners propose reduction of branches and suggest the establishment of a national education advisory council and closer relations with other government agencies. A high priority for the compulsory school-level education (four primary a...
