  • A presidential transition refers to the period of time between the end of a presidential election and the inauguration of a new president.
  • During a presidential transition, the outgoing president, also known as the "lame duck," has lost many of the intangible benefits of a presidency.
  • In other nations, many of which have experienced undemocratic governments and dictators, transitional justice refers to a state's efforts to address past human rights violations.
  • As a project, transitional justice has a number of goals, including rebuilding social trust, repairing a fractured judicial system, and building a democratic system of governance.
  • In the context of transitional justice, memorialization is used to honor the victims of human rights abuses.

• Two Judicial Revolutions: The Rehnquist Court and the Roberts Court

  • William Rehnquist served as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States, and later as the 16th Chief Justice of the United States.
  • He won over his fellow justices with his easygoing, humorous and unpretentious personality.
  • Rehnquist presided as Chief Justice for nearly 19 years, making him the fourth-longest-serving Chief Justice after John Marshall, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.
  • He is the eighth longest-serving justice in Supreme Court history.
  • After the death of Chief Justice Rehnquist, Roberts was nominated by President George W.

• Gender Dysphoria

  • According to the American Psychological Association, transgender children are more likely to experience harassment and violence in school, foster care, residential treatment centers, homeless centers, and juvenile justice programs than other children.
  • A post-transition specifier was also added for transgender individuals who have transitioned to their chosen gender (i.e., undergone hormonal or surgical procedures to alter their body in a way that matches their experienced gender identity).
  • This specifier helps to ensure post-transition individuals can continue to receive ongoing hormonal or other treatment as needed.
  • Family counseling is often helpful and necessary to help parents, partners, or other family members adjust to the person's gender identity and any related transition.
  • While the diagnosis of gender dysphoria may perpetuate stigma against transgender individuals, it may also be a necessary tool for accessing transition-related therapy.

  • Note the size of the transition metals.
  • Recognize the significance of atomic size and electronic transitions in transition metals.

• Components of a Speech: Main Points, Introduction, Conclusion, and Transitions
