Developing Leadership Through Discussion and Passion (Book Chapter)
Law and Leadership: Integrating Leadership Studies into the Law School Curriculum (Ashgate Publishing)
Leadership includes the ability to persuade others to embrace one’s ideas and to act upon them. Teaching law students the art of persuasion through advocacy is at the heart of legal education.

Leadership includes the ability to persuade others to embrace one’s ideas and to act upon them. Teaching law students the art of persuasion through advocacy is at the heart of legal education. But historically law schools have not included leadership studies in the curriculum. This book is one of the first to examine whether and how to integrate the theory and practice of leadership studies into legal education and the legal profession. Interdisciplinary in its scope, with contributions from legal educators and practitioners, the book defines leadership in the context of the legal profession and explores its challenges in legal academia, private practice, and government. It also investigates whether law students need to study leadership and, if they should, why it should be offered as part of the curriculum. Finally, it considers how leadership should be taught and how it should be integrated into classes. It evaluates new leadership courses and the adaptation of existing courses to reflect on how to effectively blend law and leadership in doctrinal, clinical, and experiential classrooms.
The book includes a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and noted leadership scholar, James MacGregor Burns and a foundational essay by prominent leadership scholar and one of the founders of the International Leadership Association, Georgia Sorenson. It will be a valuable resource to anyone interested in leadership, education policy and legal ethics. -

This article heightens the awareness among homeland security and emergency management professionals to the significant role they can play in protecting electronic voting from the very real potential of cyberattacks. It is important for these professionals to understand electronic voting and its advantages and disadvantages at this point in time because the number of cybersecurity attacks is increasing, electronic voting usage is increasing, and the media have overlooked this aspect of the voting system. Homeland security professionals and, in particular, emergency management professionals need to be involved because electronic voting is intimately connected with the nation’s critical infrastructure, voting is a local activity, and the principles of emergency management professionals suggest that they have the relevant skills to help solve the security issues related to electronic voting.
