Papua New Guinea's Sorcery Act 1971 aims "to prevent and punish evil practices of sorcery and other similar evil practices, and for other purposes relating to such practices." This statute addresses attempts to commit sorcery, false reports of sorcery, and providing sorcerous substances. It even deals with defenses arising out of acts of sorcery and evidence. Below is the link:</p><p> <a href="http://www.paclii.org/pg/legis/consol_act/sa1971117/">Sorcery Act</a><br /></p><p>2. Stambovsky v. Ackley (169 A.D.2d 254, 572 N.Y.S.2d 672, 1991)</p><p>This was a case heard by the NY Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department. In 1991, this case held that a house in Nyack was legally haunted for the purpose of a rescission action brought by the purchaser of the house. The case can be found on Lexis and Westlaw. It has been cited in both state and federal courts.</p><p>The opinion also references several popular books and movies including ghosts, such as the 1984 Ghostbusters and Shakespeare's Hamlet. It also employs supernatural idioms, including being moved by the spirit of equity and plaintiff hasn't got a ghost of a chance.</p><p>Realtor.com has a photo of the house.</p><p><a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/is-americas-only-legally-haunted-house-actually-haunted/"><span> </span>Haunted House</a><br /></p><p>3. An ordinance passed by the city council of Beverly Hills, California, prohibits "the use of shaving cream, hair removal product, and aerosol string during Halloween" because these supplies frequently result in "acts of vandalism, property damage, conflicts and confrontation, potential safety hazards and injury." Below is the ordinance.</p><p><a href="https://beverlyhills.org/cbhfiles/storage/files/168917966992089302/HALLOWEENORDINANCE23-O-2879.pdf" target="_blank">Beverly Hills Ordinance No. 23-O-2879</a></p><p>In addition, Belk Library possesses some nonlegal Halloween-related materials. Examples include <i>A Hallowe'en Anthology: literary and historical writings over the centuries </i>(by Lisa Morton, McFarland & Co., 2008); <i>Scary, scary Halloween </i>(by Eve Bunting, Clarion Books, 1986); and the musical score <i>Tim Burton's the nightmare before Christmas </i>(by Danny Elfman and Tim Burton, Hal Leonard Corporation, 1993). You can access Belk with your Elon ID.</p>Lisa Dallessandrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04852404623483190750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444450932632068291.post-56710969816907026902023-10-08T17:46:00.003-04:002023-10-08T17:46:47.720-04:00Indigenous Peoples' Day<p> In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the Library would like to highlight the following materials:</p><p>HeinOnline offers a database, Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. This database includes tribal codes, indigenous peoples' treaties, Supreme Court briefs, and legislative histories.</p><p>The Handbook of North American Indians offers an "encyclopedic summary of prehistory, history, cultures and political and social aspects of native peoples."</p><p>Mann v. Ford (DVD, 2011) chronicles the legal fight of the Ramapo against automobile giant Ford when an assembly plant dumps paint sludge and other industrial waste in the Native Americans' backyard. </p><p>Crude (DVD, 2009) depicts an Amazon tribe's legal struggle against oil giant Chevron.</p><p>If you would like to check any of these out, or have any other questions, the Library is here for you!</p>Lisa Dallessandrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04852404623483190750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444450932632068291.post-2746473857448833792023-08-01T12:02:00.001-04:002023-08-01T12:02:53.753-04:00August is National Immunization Month!<p> In recognition of August as National Immunization Month, the Law Library will highlight the following resources:</p><p>Lexis has a "Practice Area" for health care law, with a particular focus on the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act section encompasses case law, Federal Register documents, and secondary sources.</p><p>Westlaw too has a "Practice Area" section, but it is organized differently from that of Lexis. It does not emphasize the Affordable Care Act. Instead, it lists news and analysis on its main health law page. It includes categories such as cases, statutes, secondary sources, and proposed and enacted legislation and regulations.</p><p>In the Library, the Oxford Handbook of U.S. Health Law is available in print form. This book explores American health care law and policy and its relationship to medical ethics and constitutional principles.</p><p>Last but not least, the Belk Library Databases include health-related databases such as PubMed, Health and Medical Collection, Nursing and Allied Health, PsycARTICLES, and Public Health. These databases are arranged alphabetically and can be accessed with your Elon ID and password. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list, and you can browse the library webpage for additional examples.</p><p>If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us librarians.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Lisa Dallessandrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04852404623483190750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444450932632068291.post-275627927862381392023-07-07T12:11:00.003-04:002023-07-07T12:11:46.403-04:00Independence Day, the Flag, & Fireworks!<p> </p><p>On July 4th each year, the United States celebrates Independence Day, often with fireworks and family get-togethers. In honor of Independence Day, the Library would like to point out the following materials:</p><p>Chapter One, Title Four of the United States Code provides guidance for display and use of the flag, as well as the conduct during hoisting, lowering, and passing of the flag. The United States Code is available online on the Office of Law Revision Council, Westlaw, and Lexis; the library has the print version too.</p><p>In addition, the Congressional Research Service published a report providing the history and text of this particular section of the Code. Their report also answers frequently asked questions. For the report, look here:</p><p><a href="https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/RL30243.pdf" target="_blank">CRS Report: The United States Flag</a><br /></p><p>Remember that the Congressional Research Service provides policy and legal analysis to members of Congress. Its staff usually have advanced degrees in their specialization and their reports are heavily footnoted. Such reports can be valuable when conducting legislative research.</p><p>We hope everyone has a joyful July!</p>Lisa Dallessandrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04852404623483190750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444450932632068291.post-16378478603957563132023-06-23T13:06:00.000-04:002023-06-23T13:06:37.660-04:00June is LGBTQIA Month!<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal">In recognition of Pride Month, here is a list of relevant materials available in the Library.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Books</p><p class="MsoNormal">1.

Treatment Court Month for the Judicial Branch. According to the Judicial Branch
website, more than 4,000 treatment courts exist in the United States. In North
Carolina, 71 treatment courts serve 37 counties.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 7A acknowledges “a
critical need…for judicial programs that will reduce the incidence of alcohol
and other substance abuse or dependence and crimes.” Accordingly, the Statutes
establish the Accountability and Recovery Court Program.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The North Carolina Judicial Branch website provides an
overview of the recovery courts, including an annual report, best practice
standards, and a map of the recovery courts available by county.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On databases such as Lexis, Westlaw, and Hein, you can find
materials such as cases, statutes, and law review articles addressing drug
courts. As always, you can stop by the Library with any research questions! You

Klarman (2004).</p><p>Klarman contends that Brown's significance stems more from its animation of southern white opposition to racial change than revitalization of the civil rights movement. He also depicts the social and political environment the Supreme Court Justices faced.</p><p><i>Brown v. Board of Education: A Civil Rights Milestone and its Troubled Legacy.</i> By James T. Patterson (2002).</p><p>Written by Brancroft-winning historian James T. Patterson, this book guides reader through this important case that struck down racial segregation in public schools. It explores issues such as the effects of Brown on the civil rights movement and on the school system.</p><p><b>DVDs:</b></p><p><i>Selma</i> (2014)</p><p>Selma focuses on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s campaign that led up to the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in the 1960s. This march contributed to President Johnson's signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a crucial triumph for the civil rights movement.</p><p><i>Malcolm X</i> (2005)</p><p>Malcolm X illustrates the evolution of a man who triumphed over a criminal past to become an influential civil rights leader.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p>Lisa Dallessandrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04852404623483190750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444450932632068291.post-52714064076082434522022-12-22T17:25:00.000-05:002022-12-22T17:25:27.902-05:00New Year, New Courses!<p> Ring in the new year, ring in new courses!</p><p>If one of your New Year's Resolutions is to do better academically, the Library can help!

This will both prepare you for class and simultaneously improve your long-term memory of what you have learned.</p><p>3) Attend class, take notes, and participate!</p><p>4) Review what you learned after class. </p><p>5) Craft your own outline. Don't copy from others! Your outline should reflect what you have learned.</p><p>6) Do practice problems and review feedback that you get. It is better to make mistakes in practice than on an actual exam!</p><p>7) Don't be afraid to ask for help. Your professors want to see you succeed! Also look to TAs, if your class has them. Teaching Assistants, or TAs, are often students who excelled in the class. They may offer office hours and/or review sessions. Don't wait until the last minute to ask about complex concepts or vocabulary.</p><p>Last but not least, come study in the Library! We have chairs, tables, carrels, study rooms, etc. You may reserve a carrel or study room on our website. Additionally, we offer study aids for different subjects.</p>Lisa Dallessandrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04852404623483190750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444450932632068291.post-10069047362091287162022-12-20T17:08:00.001-05:002022-12-20T17:08:11.602-05:00January: Human Trafficking<p>In anticipation of January, the month that recognizes human trafficking, we have listed some available sources that address this important topic.</p><p>1.

Human Trafficking: A Global Perspective.</span></p><p><span> By Louise Shelley (Cambridge University Press, 2010).</span></p><p><span> The author is a University Professor at George Mason University's School of Public Policy. She is also<span> </span>the founder and director of the Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center. In this book, she predicts that human trafficking will increase due to growing demographic and economic inequalities and worsening global conflicts.
