As one enters a courthouse, its culture is communicated to its listening visitors. The manner in which the security guards speak; the length of time victims are kept waiting; the amount of bail a defendant is assessed; communicate messages to those who are paying attention. Domestic violence cases have long suffered from lenient treatment and dismissals in our criminal courts. This paper examines a unique explanation for this problem: the court’s local legal culture. The elements of two courts’ local legal culture that most profoundly impacted their processing of domestic violence cases are examined. Over a six month period, 23 in depth interviews were conducted with court workgroup members in two courts, one with a specialized domestic violence session and one without. Court room observations were used to supplement these interviews. The results were insightful and telling about how a court’s culture can, at times, be more influential on case processing than the law itself.  相似文献

植入式广告及其法律监管制度研究   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
作为一种营销方式,植入式广告已经不可阻挡地出现在我们的生活中。作为一种广告方式,无论是其法律地位,还是对其的监管措施,法律至今没有明确的规定。植入式广告是一种合法的广告形式,不违反现行法律规定,没有侵犯消费者的选择权。但作为一种广告形式不应当游离于法律的监管之外,应纳入广告法的管理范围。  相似文献

The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) resulted in significant cuts to the availability and scope of legal aid in family law proceedings. Some four years after the cuts were implemented, there has been a great deal of research about their devastating impact on vulnerable groups and individuals. This paper considers the other victim of the cuts, the family court itself. It is currently bulging under pressure from both an increase in applicants who have been forced to represent themselves in family proceedings and also from a rise in applications for injunctions linked to domestic violence. This paper will draw on case law to demonstrate that the reforms implemented through LASPO have seemingly only succeeded in passing the burden from one publicly funded agency, the Legal Aid Agency, to another, HM Courts and Tribunals Service. The family court system is currently at breaking point and further government review is urgently needed if people are going to be able to continue to use the system effectively.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

This paper reviews the response of specialised domestic violence courts in Canada and the United States to contact disputes where there are allegations of domestic violence. It begins with a discussion of legal reforms responding to domestic violence in Canada and the United States, including the different types of DV courts and their rationales, key features, merits and drawbacks. Evaluations of Integrated DV courts in the United States and Canada are then reviewed. The research shows that although IDV courts hold more promise to deal with contact disputes given their inclusion of family law matters, there are few studies analysing the impact of IDV courts on these disputes, and some suggest these courts may actually increase contact and hence the potential for safety issues to arise. The final section discusses the strengths and weaknesses of IDV courts in relation to contact disputes, identifying the factors that make these specialised courts more or less successful in prioritising safety and minimising harm for women and children.  相似文献

Family lawyers are major beneficiaries of the reforms set out in the Family Law Education Reform Project (FLER) Report. This commentary from a veteran family law practitioner explores the needs of the family law bar for the training of law students in practical, interdisciplinary, client‐centered lawyering that goes beyond the traditional case method. I trace many of the current innovations evolving in family law practice and how FLER reforms will not only benefit law schools but also have a major impact in the courts and private practice sector.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Parental alienation was historically a term rejected by courts in England and Wales, but lawyers and social workers have noted an increase in the incidence of its use, possibly driven by campaign groups and media narratives. The two statutory services that provide independent social work advice to courts in England and Wales, respectively, on children’s best interests in parenting disputes, have taken different approaches to developing practice guidance in response to concerns about the recent use of alienation terminology. A review of international research and domestic case law was undertaken as part of the development of guidance in Wales. This review revealed a dearth of reliable evidence on the concept of parental alienation, its prevalence, effects and measures for intervention. This article builds on that review and recent developments to discuss the progress being made in practice to counter myths about alienation and considers how best to support practitioners in resisting pressures to conform to these powerful narratives.  相似文献

身分是人们在法律上所居的地位,该种地位决定其在特定情况下的权利和义务。它与法律义务的产生、分配与运行存在不可分割的关联。因此从身分角度去认识和理解法律义务、法律义务冲突具有重要的意义。法律义务冲突实质上是义务人具有法律意义上的身分之间存在无法取舍的困境。那么身分就可以为法律义务冲突的解决提供一定的信息。  相似文献

Abstract

Once, by giving long-term security of tenure and succession rights to those living in the private and public rented sectors, and ‘settled' accommodation to the homeless, housing law could be regarded as attempting 'to provide those who cannot afford to buy their own homes with a substitute for home ownership, a right to remain in occupation for at least a lifetime and often more' (Honoré, 1982: 37). Today, home ownership is itself far more problematic and far less secure than in previous decades. In the private rented sector, the Housing Act 1988 has drastically curtailed security of tenure and rights of succession to tenancies. Councils are being replaced by (quasi-private) housing associations as the main providers of social housing. The homelessness legislation has been judicially interpreted as imposing no duty to provide 'settled’ accommodation at all and the Housing Bill 1996 will take the process still further. A job for life is said to be a thing of the past. How many people now can reasonably expect to have a home for life?  相似文献

ABSTRACT

This article considers the approach taken in Scotland to the processing of child contact cases in which there are allegations of domestic abuse. Four key features of the processing of cases which may facilitate outcomes that prioritise safety are considered. These are: the availability of legal aid; the cautious process of successive child welfare hearings; the use of child welfare reports; and the taking of the child’s views. All these features occur within a policy context that recognises domestic abuse as gender-based violence and where courts have a statutory duty to protect a child from abuse. Drawing on the author’s court based analysis of papers from 208 child contact disputes and from interviews with sheriffs, this article discusses the strengths and limitations of all four process features in terms of protecting women and children, and the risks to these features posed by perpetually reducing government budgets.  相似文献

2007年6-12月,重庆市社科规划项目《地方人大立法后评估制度研究》课题组从立法必要性、地方特色、法制统一、权力配置、技术规范五个方面,对重庆市当时有效的160件地方性法规文本进行量化评估,平均得分83.09,得90分以上的法规有9件,70分以下的4件,60分以下为零。五项质量要素中,地方特色所得比例最高,技术规范次之,立法必要性居第三,权力配置为第四,法制统一排在末位。在一定程度上说明,重庆市地方性法规文本所反映的地方特色比较鲜明,讲究立法技术,但在突出地方特色和注重地方立法创新中还须更加注意法制统一,科学地处理好权利与权力的关系,严格防止部门权力的立法扩张。  相似文献

In Re F (Children) (Internal Relocation), the Court of Appeal again re-visited the issue of relocation within the United Kingdom, with Wilson LJ raising three points of confusion apparent in the present law. This note comments on those issues and suggests that, as the Court of Appeal implied, the time has come to review the approach of the courts in England and Wales to internal relocation disputes.  相似文献

犯罪嫌疑人、被告人自报身份虚假陈述现象在沿海发达地区已经十分突出,给司法机关履行法律职责带来极大困难。解决这一问题应该从加强户籍身份管理入手,完善司法机关之间的协作机制;另外,在法律层面上应及早明确自报身份虚假陈述的法律责任,同时制定相关的纠错程序及救济措施。  相似文献

在我国当前的法律解释体制中,除审判机关和检察机关之外的不少地方国家机关具有法律解释权(包括地方性法规、地方政府规章的解释权),导致了法制的混乱。这些机关行使法律解释权尽管有一定的合理性,但其弊端是显而易见的。从理论上说,地方的立法机关、行政机关、检察机关和审判机关都不应当行使法律解释权。因此,应当取消当前地方一切国家机关的法律解释权,保障法官在个案中的法律解释权。  相似文献

Abstract

In a 1967 article that is considered a classic of criminal justice scholarship, Abraham Blumberg portrayed defense attorneys for accused offenders as more responsive to the demands of the court entourage for smooth and expeditious functioning than to the needs of their clients for a stalwart representation. The article suggests that Blumberg's view, while provocative and with a considerable element of accuracy, may have reflected a somewhat jaundiced and overstated perspective when he was on the verge of leaving law practice for academia. The article also speculates about the current accuracy of Blumberg's observations.  相似文献
