  Thirty year rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "thirty year rule" is the popular name given to a law in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and Australia that states that the yearly cabinet papers of a government will be released publicly thirty years after they were created.
Usually this occurs on 1 January of a particular year.
The only papers not released (or if they are contained in other papers 'fled out') are those which are deemed likely to cause "damage to the country's image, national security or foreign relations" if they were to be released.

 FRE - Notes to Rule 412 (LII 2004 ed.)
The rule aims to safeguard the alleged victim against the invasion of privacy, potential embarrassment and sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the infusion of sexual innuendo into the factfinding process.
Rule 412 seeks to achieve these objectives by barring evidence relating to the alleged victim's sexual behavior or alleged sexual predisposition, whether offered as substantive evidence or for impeachment, except in designated circumstances in which the probative value of the evidence significantly outweighs possible harm to the victim.
The amended rule provides that before admitting evidence that falls within the prohibition of Rule 412(a), the court must hold a hearing in camera at which the alleged victim and any party must be afforded the right to be present and an opportunity to be heard.

 Trial Court Rule III - Uniform Small Claims Rules
The former generalized reference to the "civil rules of court applicable to the department in which the case is pending" is no longer necessary because of the July 1, 1996 merger of the District/Municipal Courts Rules of Civil Procedure into the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure.
Post-trial attachment shall be in accordance with applicable statutory provisions and with the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure.
Trials by a judge or before a jury shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Rule 7, and, in the case of a trial before a jury, in accordance with the provisions of law applicable to jury trials in the Superior Court Department.

 Final Rule: Proxy Voting by Investment Advisers; Release No. IA-2106
The rule and rule amendments are designed to ensure that advisers vote proxies in the best interest of their clients and provide clients with information about how their proxies are voted.
Rule 206(4)-6 also requires advisers to describe their proxy voting policies and procedures to clients, and upon request, to provide clients with a copy of those policies and procedures.
The new rule and rule amendments use performance, rather than design standards, in the sense that that they require policies and procedures to ensure votes are in the best interest of clients, rather than specifying specific elements of the policies and procedures.

 FRE - Notes to Rule 611 (LII 2004 ed.)
The rule continues the traditional view that the suggestive powers of the leading question are as a general proposition undesirable.
Rule 611(b) as submitted by the Supreme Court permitted a broad scope of cross-examination: "cross-examination on any matter relevant to any issue in the case" unless the judge, in the interests of justice, limited the scope of cross-examination.
The House narrowed the Rule to the more traditional practice of limiting cross-examination to the subject matter of direct examination (and credibility), but with discretion in the judge to permit inquiry into additional matters in situations where that would aid in the development of the evidence or otherwise facilitate the conduct of the trial.

 Rule 37. Attorney Discipline System
Nothing in the rule of confidentiality prevents a complainant from disclosing publicly the conduct of an attorney which he or she believes violates the rules of professional conduct or is otherwise inappropriate.
This rule does prohibit a complainant, however, from disclosing publicly the fact that a complaint against the attorney about the conduct has been filed with the attorney discipline system pending action on the complaint or pending the complaint becoming public in accordance with the provisions of this section.
The provisions of this rule, as amended effective January 1, 2004, shall not apply to any disciplinary matter pending before the committee on January 1, 2004, in which prior to that date the committee has determined that formal proceedings shall be held and the hearing panel has concluded its evidentiary hearing.

 Thirty Year Rule - Uncyclopedia
Also known as the Thirty Year Law, a statute devised by the British government in 1923, stating, in its simplest form, that the government is empowered to do anything it wants to any member of the public, as long as it waits thirty years before doing so.
The law is based on the well documented fact that all people are willing to do anything in return for almost nothing, as long as the reward is instant and the demeaning, painful and often fatal penance is far enough in the future.
Most recently the Thirty Year Law was used to sanction the amputation of both of Tom Jones' legs, now due to take place in 2020.

 Is Home Rule The Answer? Clarifying The Influence Of Dillon's Rule On Growth Management   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
These leaders contend they are handcuffed by Dillon's Rule, a strict interpretation of state laws that allows localities to possess only such powers as are specifically delegated to them by state law.
They often yearn for greater "home rule" authority, which they feel would expand their authority to respond to the myriad challenges posed by suburban growth.
Drawing from the best available legal literature and case law, the study examines the definition and use of both Dillon's Rule and home rule and, for the first time, categorizes all 50 states by their overall interpretation of the state and local relationship.

In the early years of our republic, the population size of the U.S. House districts remained close to 30,000 people — in keeping with the promise reaffirmed by the Federalist Papers.
However, as a result of Congress’s failure to produce a workable “Article the first,” the degree of representation allowed to we the people was left entirely at the mercy of the ambition of men in power.
As a consequence of abandoning proportional representation, there is a vast disparity in district sizes across the nation which is in violation of the Constitutional principle requiring equal representation.

It had long been an open secret that the previous year had witnessed an unprecedented deterioration in the elder Asad's state of health, and that he had hardly functioned as his country's president; his days were understood to be numbered.

After thirty years under his father, the country reached an impasse; the social and political structure had lost any relevance to the reality in the streets.

 UMBC Study Abroad Office The Thirty Credit Rule
A common source of concern among UMBC students is the residencyrequirement, commonly called the 30-credit rule.
Many students fear that this means they are not permitted to study abroad during their senior year.
For students who go abroad in their senior year, approval of the Study Abroad Verification of Transferability form constitutes residency waiver approval for up to 15 credits, which is well above and beyond the credit maximums approved for seniors wishing to transfer non-study-abroad courses.

 "The Assad Family and the Succession in Syria" (July 2000)
The palpable fear that this regime inspired among most Syrians was so closely linked to Assad's cult of personality that there is a fairly strong consensus among these elites that the presidency should be passed on to another member of the Assad family in order to preserve an aura of continuity.
He was rushed through Syria's Military Academy that same year, promoted to the rank of major in the Presidential Guards two months later and elevated last year to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Jamil has reportedly spent most of his time in Europe during the last two years, but unlike Rifaat, he has been permitted to return periodically to Syria at his leisure (he was present at Assad's funeral).

 July/August 2003
Iraqi journalists boast that the first Arabic newspaper, Al Zawra, was printed in Baghdad 135 years ago, and that the nation’s first television station was launched in 1956, the same year that TV came to Sweden.
That same year Durgham Hashemi, a young journalist at al Thawra, disappeared a week after he criticized articles in his own newspaper that claimed Iraq’s Shiite Arabs came from India.
Hashem Hassan was briefly jailed, too, and eventually fled to the autonomous Kurdish north early last year, where freedom from Saddam’s rule since 1991 has ushered in a relatively free press, including several newspapers completely independent of political parties.
