international health aid and Professional Independence the need for quality standards and self regulation
Health Policy and Planning, 2000Co-Authors: Gilles De Wildt, Daniel Chandramohan, Joost Van Der MeerAbstract:The performance of health Professionals is increasingly regulated in industrialized countries. There are systems, as yet imperfect, involving Professionals, government and other bodies to reach consensus, set standards and monitor performance in a transparent manner in all health disciplines including the arena of public health. One important area where there is a notable lack of transparent regulatory system is international health aid. There is a long tradition of evaluating international health aid programmes and projects. Usually ‘consultants’ (single or a team) carry out evaluations over a period of 1‐3 weeks. The scale and scope of evaluations vary, from a donor organization evaluating the whole health sector in several countries or just a single health project in one country. Methods used may include reviewing the project memorandum, progress and other relevant reports, holding interviews with key informants such as government officials and project managers, and a sample of project implementers and the target population.

access to justice and routine legal services new technologies meet bar regulators
Social Science Research Network, 2018Co-Authors: Benjamin H Barton, Deborah L RhodeAbstract:We are in the early stages of a technological revolution in legal services. Technology is displacing lawyers in a wide array of tasks such as document drafting, review, and assembly, and is also reshaping the way that lawyers find clients and deliver assistance. For most consumers, these are welcome developments. Such innovations generally reduce costs and increase both accessibility and efficiency. The potential gains are particularly great for low- and middle-income consumers, who lack access for a vast array of basic, often urgent, legal needs. Yet for lawyers, the consequences of technology have been more mixed. Many feel that their Professional Independence and livelihoods are threatened by the growth of online forms, computerized algorithms, and price competition with internet providers. Responding to these concerns, bar regulators have often fought back through ethics rulings that attempt to rein in organizations such as LegalZoom, Rocket Lawyer, and Avvo Legal Services. This article explores the contested technological terrain of legal services for low- and middle-income Americans and uses the battles brewing over Avvo Legal Services as a case study of how bar regulators are, and should be, responding to innovations in the legal market for consumers of limited means. We cover the rise of the online provision of legal services, with a special focus on the three big players in consumer-oriented internet legal services, Avvo, LegalZoom, and Rocket Lawyer. We then assess the recent objections of bar regulators to the latest entry into this market – Avvo Legal Services. We argue that these concerns are largely incorrect. The argument relies partially on the controlling law and partially on business and common sense. As a business matter, small firm and solo practitioners are trying to survive in a brutally competitive market for consumer legal services. Avvo Legal Services attempts to connect these lawyers to clients directly, albeit with inexpensive, fixed-fee legal services. But LegalZoom and Rocket Lawyer are already driving the prices for these services down. Avvo Legal Services just allows regular lawyers to try to compete. The business case is also the public interest case: Avvo Legal Services can help lower the barriers to hiring a lawyer and the cost. This will, in turn, increase access to justice in a country that was recently ranked sixty-seventh (tied with Uganda) of ninety-seven countries in the accessibility and affordability of civil justice. We can and must do better and technological innovations such as those pioneered by Avvo are part of the way forward. Our central argument is that lawyers should embrace the inevitable. Technological innovations are here to stay, and the organized bar should be looking for ways to harness their potential to help underserved constituencies, and the legal profession itself, not try to hold back the inexorable.

teachers experiences of autonomy in continuing Professional development teacher learning communities in london and hong kong
Teacher Development, 2013Co-Authors: Eleanore Hargreaves, Rita Shuk Yin 張淑賢 Berry, Yiu Chi Lai, Pui Wan Pamela Leung, David Scott, Gordon StobartAbstract:This paper examines teachers’ experiences of autonomy as they undertook Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in the form of Teacher Learning Communities (TLCs) to develop Assessment for Learning (AfL). Participant teacher interview data were used from two parallel TLC projects, one in Hong Kong and one in London, UK. Autonomy was defined in terms of taking initiatives, acting independently and making critical inquiries. Links between autonomy and effective CPD were argued and the findings indicated that some teachers in both the projects experienced limited autonomy in terms of taking initiatives and being critical, although several described a new sense of Professional Independence as they attended TLCs. Their limited autonomy looked likely to inhibit the long-lasting impact of the projects, although one TLC in London seemed likely to shape teachers’ AfL principles and practices more profoundly because attendance was voluntary and egalitarian.
