Gillian Hadfield's astute Rules for a Flat World proposes a private market solution to rule-making because the current legislative or regulatory framework no longer meets the needs of a fast-paced digital economy. Further, lawyers have largely priced themselves out of the reach of many who would benefit from their services. By laying out Habermas's criticisms of the flaws in social integration created by market mechanisms, the paper warns that Hadfield's reliance on the market may import undesirable consequences into her proposal because the market structurally fails to address the human rights of many workers in the global economy. The paper then considers values such as dignity as proposed in Catholic Social Thought as a leavening agent to strengthen Hadfield's paper from the standpoint of human rights.
Barriers to Adaptation in Legal Education and the Critical Importance of Simply Caring

In her provocative book &quot;Rules for a Flat World&quot;, Professor Gillian Hadfield makes the important point that our ossified legal system does not meet the needs of our dynamic society. And she rightly notes that legal education is not an ally in meeting this challenge. To move forward, then, legal education must innovate. This essay offers the modest hunch that non-profit higher education can innovate at lower cost by mimicking the successes of their for-profit peers, in effect leveraging for-profit higher education as a form of research and development. Even if this hunch has some validity, though, it does not say what shape that innovation will take, and whether it can promote the needed change that Professor Hadfield urges.
Reclothing the Legal Emperor: Justice, Equity, and Governance in the Flat World

Subjects: Governance,Justice,Laws,Legislation,Legal Responsibility,Social Justice,Equal Education

In &quot;Rules for a Flat World&quot;, Hadfield delivers a paradigm-shifting wakeup call about law coming up short in today's world and proposes creating markets for legal rules to enable the development of broad-based legal infrastructure that can meet current and future demand. I am less confident that markets are the preferred pattern for the emperor's new wardrobe because law hearkens to non-market values. Aspirations to justice and equity lie at the heart of the enterprise of law, and they should be touchstones in transforming law for today's flat world. Moreover, governance today -- beyond the government-based governance generally acknowledged by lawyers -- is more flat-world-friendly than we may initially realize, and our quest to transform law should be grounded in the robust and vibrant network of deliberation, policy-development and policy-implementation arrangements, and conflict engagement and resolution that already exists.
Private Governance and Rules for a Flat World

In &quot;Rules for a Flat World&quot;, Hadfield argues that although the world is becoming increasingly connected and faster paced due to leaps in technological innovation, the prevailing legal systems -- established by governments and run almost exclusively by lawyers -- have not kept pace. They are increasingly proving ill suited for and counterproductive to the evolving economic environment. Although coming from a different perspective, Hadfield's encouragement of market-based solutions is highly consonant with those of classical liberals who advocate privatizing all government.
The Cognitive Dissonance between the Rule of Law and Rural Realities: Reading Gillian Hadfield&apos;s &quot;Rules for a Flat World&quot; in the Context of Rural Identity and Politics

Rural communities -- as well as other marginalized communities -- see their access to legal infrastructure declining, so much so that they feel disconnected from the rule of law. Current complex law and legal infrastructure focus on big &quot;I&quot; innovation, which is hyper-transactional and benefits the few. Rural communities, and others, would find law and legal infrastructure more relevant if they focused more on small &quot;i&quot; innovation, which centers on negotiating real, societal relationships.

The aim of this study is to examine the basic vertical letters based on the opinions of the primary school teachers. This qualitative research study employed phenomenology as a research method. Critical sampling and appropriate sampling methods were used in determining the participants. The participants of the study consisted of 111 classroom teachers working in primary schools in Yozgat city center. In the determination of the participants, the service life as a criterion has been determined as at least 10 years. Semi-structured interview form was used as data collection tool. The researcher has prepared a semi-structured interview form called &quot;vertical basic writing letters writing form&quot;. Data were collected in November 2018. 111 class teachers were interviewed with semi-structured interview form. Two types of analysis technique were used for data analysis. Frequency (f) and percentage (%) were used for quantitative data analysis. Content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. As a result of the study, 89% of the teachers think that the capital letter A is appropriate. It is seen that 11% did not approve of the big letter A. The eligibility for capital letter I is 96%. Eligibility for capital letter J is 84%. The eligibility rate for all other capital letters is 100%. The conformity rate of lowercase letters after capital letters was examined. It is seen that the rate of conformity of the lowercase letter is 97%. Eligibility of small letter f is 62%. The rate of compliance with the letter l (lemon) is 65%. Conformity rate of small t is 81%. The compliance rate of all other lowercase letters is 100%.

This research investigated how interactive book reading activities affect elementary school students' reading fluency and reading comprehension skills. The research was performed in 2017-2018 academic year with 705 students (358 males, 347 females) studying at four state schools of low socioeconomic level in Polatli district of Ankara. 309 of the students were in the second grade, 200 of them were in the third and 196 of them were in the fourth grade. The implementation stage of the research was conducted in the interactive reading classrooms established at the four schools. These classrooms were equipped with wallpapers, shoe racks, stools, bookcases, puppets, wooden geometric shapes, hanging lights, light-proof curtains, material cupboards, computers and sound systems so that the students might feel that they were in a different environment and might gain different learning experiences. Pretest-posttest one-group quasi-experimental design was used in the research. Students' reading fluency and reading comprehension skills were measured before and after the procedure. The findings showed that the interactive book reading activities performed during the study revealed a significant difference in favor of students' posttest scores in regard to reading fluency and reading comprehension. The results were discussed within the context of the related literature and recommendations were made accordingly.

Early mathematics education bases a foundation of academic success in mathematics for higher grades. Studies show that introducing mathematical contents in preschool level is a strong predictor of success in mathematics for children during their progress in other school levels. Digital technologies can support children's learning mathematical concepts by means of the exploration and the manipulation of concrete representations. Therefore, digital activities provide opportunities for children to engage with experimental mathematics. In this study, the effects of digital learning tools on learning about geometric shapes in early childhood education were investigated. Hence, this study aimed to investigate children progresses on digital learning activities in terms of recognition and discrimination of basic geometric shapes. Participants of the study were six children from a kindergarten in Kirsehir, Turkey. Six digital learning activities were engaged by children with tablets about four weeks in learning settings. Task-based interview sessions were handled in this study. Results of this study show that these series of activities helped children to achieve higher cognitive levels. They improved their understanding through digital activities.

Business ethics is a highly discussed and debated subject in today's corporate and business world, as well as in educational and academic circles. There are certain parameters, which influence the extensive level and degree to which ethics has been analyzed by scholars and researchers in recent years, such as globalization, technology, intangible assets, and talent management. Meanwhile, organizations that are inclined in performing according to ethical standards, morals, and values, have recognized the importance and significance that ethical procedures and policies are communicated and practiced throughout the entire organization, while at the same time becoming a priority for the administration of the organization. Organizational and educational leadership is responsible for practices such as creating the foundations for the resourceful and ethical performance of the business. It is one of the most powerful and important aspects of human activities in organizations. Given that leaders are the most influential body in any institution greatly impacting the organizational culture, they are the ones who ought to promote and model principles and values in accordance to the objectives, mission, and vision shared with employees. Although ethos as a principle and value was first discussed in the ancient Greek philosophic circles, where it was characterizing the virtuous and moral beliefs, attitudes, and acts, the importance of the principle of ethical behavior had not been &quot;apparent&quot; until recent years that individuals and organizations have been researching to find ways that ethical behavior can be integrated into corporate practices. Moreover, ethics and the notion of ethical behavior and value systems in the organizational setting have become an organizational precedence in the 21st century. While leaders have numerous external factors, which present opportunities and threats, such as keeping up with the technology advancements, globalization's outcomes, threats of the competition, they also have to keep up with internal tasks and practices such as the alignment of mission, vision with the organizational culture, the strategies designed and the goals pursued for their own organization. Although the role of a leader is a complex and multifaceted one, he/she must also integrate ethical practices in their organizations' policies.

This study investigated the concept images of blind students about the polygon concept. For this purpose, four open-ended questions were asked to five blind middle school students. During the interviews, geometric shapes were presented with raised-line materials and blind students were given opportunities to construct geometric shapes with magnetic sticks and micro-balls. Qualitative research techniques applied in grounded theory were used for analyzing documents pictures, which were taken from magnetic geometric shapes that blind students constructed, raised-line materials and researchers' observation notes and interviews. As a result, it is determined that blind students have more than one concept image for the polygon concept. They scrutinized the polygon concept analytically not with a holistic perspective. They were often conflicted about triangle, rectangle, square, circle and circular region whether or not being a polygon. They also encountered with the difficulties associated with the combination of polygon sides' endpoints consecutively.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of chemistry activities applied in summer science camp on secondary school students. Action research was used in the study as the method. The sample of the study consists of 48 7th grade students who study at elementary school in Çayeli district of Rize province, in Turkey. Each week 24 students participated in the camp, which lasted two weeks. The activities that were carried out are: &quot;The Gases in the Air&quot;, &quot;Sad Tears of the Sky&quot;, &quot;Recycling&quot;, &quot;Let's Use Soap and Be Clean&quot;, &quot;Soap Foam Fountain&quot;. During the activities, &quot;Chemistry Science Interview Form&quot; including four open-ended questions related to chemistry was applied to the students before and after the activities in the camp. Besides, &quot;Reflective Journals&quot; were used to reveal the participants' thoughts about the chemistry activities that were applied in the camp. Content analysis was used in analyzing the data collection tools. It was found out that students can use more conceptions and statements on chemistry, and they can associate them with daily life in a better way after the science camp. Also, the findings indicate that chemistry activities which were carried out within the scope of the project contribute to chemistry, and to the students' interest in this profession.

Legal representation makes a significant difference to the outcome of removal proceedings. Yet high percentages of both detained and non-detained immigrants do not have access to such representation. Some state and local governments have undertaken to increase access to &quot;pro bono&quot; legal representation for immigrants in these proceedings.
It&apos;s All Relative: Social Movements and Law

In &quot;Rules for a Flat World,&quot; Hadfield focuses on law as created by and comprised of primarily centralized legal institutions. Current insights into law, however, highlight a complexity behind the social movements that cause disruption and lead to real legal change, which creates a new, broader definition of law. Taking Hadfield's view that law needs to be understood and designed by economists, policymakers, entrepreneurs, business leaders and ordinary people, not just lawyers (Hadfield, 2017), a little further, this paper considers the complexity of social movements in combination with law as part of a more robust definition of law.

This article explores a doctoral sustainability leadership course in an interdisciplinary leadership program. Learners in the course study sustainability and sustainability leadership from a systemic design perspective. They are invited to become visionaries who work across boundaries and disciplines with cooperative and reflective spirits to find integrated solutions for complex organizational problems. The first section provides course background information on the interdisciplinary, interdependent, and integrated complexity of the sustainability movement. It also examines the different and often ambiguous understandings of sustainability and why a systemic design platform might provide a more expansive vessel for sustainability leadership and projects. The second section investigates systems thinking, design action, the nature of change, and dialogue--the core of good design. The third section uses a learner's case study &quot;Air Combat Command Sustainability Design Project&quot; to illustrate how an organizational leader built a sustainability plan unique to his organization. Five domains (BenEli, 2012) provided the overarching infrastructure. Although each domain embodies a separate area, together they make up a unified organizing principle that works toward integrating essential elements into a strong infrastructure. The article concludes with reflections from both the course facilitator and the course learner.

This essay is focused on the role which law schools might play in &quot;reinventing&quot; the law student for a more robust role in an increasingly complex global economy. The case is presented for law schools to embrace and promote a collaborative orientation toward legal conflict and the role which lawyers have to play as problem solvers. Principles from systems thinking as well as a real-world example are utilized to illustrate why this change is imperative.

Hadfield's &quot;Rules for a Flat World&quot; describes how today's legal infrastructure harms people globally who live in the &quot;Bottom of the Pyramid&quot; (BoP). People who pass through the Kino Border Initiative on the U.S.- Mexico border provide vivid and personal examples of how lack of robust legal infrastructure contributes to acute insecurity in terms of economic well-being and personal safety in parts of Mexico and Central America. The legal infrastructure around immigration and deportation in the U.S. poses additional perils for migrants. Efforts to empower people in the BoP to play a role in legal infrastructure play a critical role in addressing the root causes of migration while respecting their human rights.

Remarks adapted from presentation: &quot;Disrupting Law, Reclaiming Justice,&quot; a Conversation on Gillian Hadfield's &quot;Rules for a Flat World&quot; on October 8, 2018 at Creighton University. Despite the advancement in the ADR movement, there is much work to be done for justice to be accessible to &quot;All.&quot; The legal profession continues to lack diversity among its members and a uniform way of thinking impedes a transformative change to the legal infrastructure. Conflict as an interdisciplinary field draws upon a more diverse group of professionals and theoretical frameworks. I propose that conflict processes, not the legal system, should be the overarching umbrella under which all conflict resolution/engagement processes fall.

This paper analyzes several foundational concepts and questions regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR). Its primary contribution is a statistical examination of relationships between CSR and &quot;Newsweek's&quot; 2012 Green Rankings using forensic-based financial and accounting measures. We also replicate a previous study and introduce new variables for looking at CSR from an economic perspective. The paper is interdisciplinary in that it synthesizes preceding studies' conceptions of CSR through finance, consumer behavior, branding, and ethics -- a mix which has received minimal attention -- in an attempt to better characterize and measure CSR.
