The Hong Kong government made tactical use of legal instruments to end the Occupy Movement in 2014, yet there were divergent responses to the injunctions at the two main protest sites. Through a within-case comparison, this study argues that diverging legal frames explain the different reactions at the two sites. Law, as a constitutive symbol of certain collective action frames, constructs the boundaries of a movement and creates expectations among protesters regarding how to address legal instruments. The protesters in Admiralty tended to adhere to a law-abiding frame that required them to respect and obey the law when confronted with legal tactics. In contrast, the framing contest and self-selection of participants made activists in Mongkok susceptible to a law-defying frame that disposed them to resist the actions of law enforcement authorities. This study sheds light on the conditions under which protesters will obey the law.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was intended to improve corporate governanceand increase the transparency of financial audits. The legislation also could havesignificant effects on the public accounting industry. This study finds evidence ofhigher audit fees across all firms resulting from compliance with the law. However,after accounting for self-selection of auditors, we do not find evidence that thesize of the audit firm affects the magnitude of the audit fee increase.

The Ideal

This study employed the Adjective Check List to assess descriptions of self and ideal lawyer among women law students in terms of sex-trait stereotypes and need structures. When compared to a sample of female undergraduates, the law students exhibited more self-confidence and autonomy. However, the law students perceived the ideal lawyer to be more rational and less emotional than themselves. While the female law students and female undergraduates had theoretically feminine self-descriptions, the law students’ perception of the ideal lawyer was relatively quite masculine. It was proposed that the perception of the legal profession as requiring primarily masculine traits may affect the self-selection of women into the field and may limit the occupational aspirations of women within the profession.

Introduction: the article considers problematic issues related to the work of management subjects (managers) and attestation commissions in situations when an employee of the penal system of the Russian Federation is dismissed due to the loss of trust. The aim of this study is to identify gaps in the current legislation on the service that arise when a measure of responsibility such as dismissal due to the loss of trust is applied; another aim consists in formulating proposals for improving legislation in this area. Methods: methodological basis of our study is represented by a set of methods of scientific cognition, among which the main place belongs to formal-logical, system-structural, and comparative-legal methods. Results: the study has shown that there are many problematic issues in the law enforcement practice regarding the dismissal of employees due to the loss of trust. The norms of the law do not clearly distinguish the components of corruption offenses for which an employee is subject to dismissal due to the loss of trust or may be brought to another type of liability. The issue regarding the status of the decision of the attestation commission remains unresolved; its decision is of an advisory nature, but at the same time, it is fundamental for making a decision by the employee’s superior. There is an ongoing discussion on the composition of the attestation commission; and options for the selection of independent experts are proposed. Discussion: dismissal due to the loss of trust is a specific type of disciplinary penalty, and its implementation is carried out by authorized management entities within the framework of disciplinary proceedings. The procedure for making a decision on the dismissal of employees of the penal system due to the loss of trust needs further improvement in its legal and organizational aspects, taking into account modern law enforcement and judicial practice.

Since 2013 with the gradual integration of Ukraine into the European and Global education space, there is a need to reduce the state's financial expenses on specialists training and to change the principles of the formation, placement and performance (this triad represents the consecutive stages) of the mechanism of the governmental order in the field of education. Thereof it is suggested to determine the main objective, namely, prospects for improvement the mechanism of organization and legal groundwork for effectuation of placement of the governmental order for the specialists training for the state needs. The main results of the work became: firstly, the systematization of subjects involved in the process of placing the governmental order for specialists training. It was established that the main organizational guarantor in this process is the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine; the main coordinator is the Ministry of Economy and Development of Ukraine; the main performers of the order placement are governmental customers; placement targets are government performers. Secondly, two forms of administrative procedures for the performance of the governmental order placing are distinguished: 1) the public procedure of the competition for performers of the governmental order; 2) simplified (non-competitive) procedure for the appointment of performers of the governmental order. Within these procedures, organizational (institutional) and legal guarantees of their performance are described. The new achievements of the study became suggestions: firstly, introduction of a competitive procedure in the placement process of the governmental order for specialists training for the law enforcement agencies, as well as the implementation of a contractual procedure of  signing state contracts for the performance of the governmental order between law enforcement agencies (governmental customers) and performers of the governmental order; secondly, to legalize in the law the procedure of conducting a competition among educational institutions of different departments with the purpose of choosing suitable ones for the governmental order performance; thirdly, to empower the Ministry of Economy and Development of Ukraine to agree the provisions of all governmental customers, the work of the Competition Committee on the selection of performers of the governmental order, as well as on the development of a typical procedure for the work of such Committees.

Abstract. Applicant job pursuit intentions impact the composition of an organization’s applicant pool, thereby influencing selection outcomes. An example is the self-selection of women and men into gender-congruent jobs. Such self-selection contributes to a lack of gender diversity across a variety of occupations. We use person-job fit and the role congruity perspective of social role theory to explore job pursuit intentions. We present research from two cross-sectional survey studies (520 students, 174 working adults) indicating that at different points in their careers women and men choose to pursue gender-congruent jobs. For students, the choice was mediated by value placed on the job’s associated gender-congruent outcomes, but for working adults it was not. We offer suggestions for practitioners and researchers.
