Attorneys,tell your clients to think before they post: Social media data may influence how evaluators view their parental fitness

Information from social media is used in evaluations of parental fitness with some regularity. Yet, research is lacking on perceptions of this information and no research has examined how social media data impacts forensic evaluators' opinions related to parental fitness. This study compared forensic evaluators' perceptions of data trustworthiness, usefulness, and initial opinion of parental fitness in a fictitious case in which parental fitness was questioned. Perceptions of a parent's behavior were compared across two types of data in which it was presented (an Instagram post or a medical record note) and across genders of the parent (mother or father) being hypothetically evaluated. As hypothesized, information documented on social media was viewed more critically than information documented by a healthcare provider. Further, information primarily referencing the father in the case was viewed as less trustworthy than information referencing the mother, which appeared influenced by evaluators' identified self-reported sexist attitudes. Results suggest that family law attorneys, regardless of which parent they are representing, should advise their clients of the risks to using social media.     

Models and methods of cost-effective child custody evaluation

Child custody evaluations (CCEs) are often seen as a necessity by the legal system when caregivers cannot find a resolution to their child custody disputes. In many instances, these evaluations are quite costly for the litigants and cost can act as a barrier to equal access to justice. Affluent families are better able to access private evaluators while families with lesser means may encounter delays in receiving services or be unable to afford an evaluation at all. This can, in turn, prolong resolution of league disputes, increasing the emotional toll on families, and hamper courts in making decisions in the best interests of the children involved. This article examines models of providing CCEs outside of an isolated individual provider private practice format. It examines the benefits and considerations for lower-cost evaluations, while discussing how to maintain high quality services that adequately assess family systems. Broader issues that impact the courts and overall access to justice through offering cost effective evaluations are also discussed.     

CHILD CUSTODY EVALUATIONS: THE NEED FOR SYSTEMS‐LEVEL OUTCOME ASSESSMENTS*

Child custody evaluations need to be studied systemically as a human service system. There is little research on the history, caseload dynamics, economics, delivery systems, or impact of custody evaluations. This article identifies five systems‐level questions about custody evaluations and examines one, outcomes assessment, in detail by developing seven outcome hypotheses. The article concludes that such research could improve the practice and use of child custody evaluations.     

隐性超期羁押的法律规制研究

立法听证制度的冷思考

通过移植方式进入中国的立法听证制度与我国所实行的人民代表大会制度和中国共产党领导的多党合作政治协商制度不相适应,结合我国的国情,可以通过完善人大代表的选举制度、明确党与人大之间的关系等方式来促进立法的民主化和科学化,而非盲目地在立法过程中引入听证制度。     

听证主持人法律地位比较与思考

在国外,程序司法化的一个突出表现就是听讧主持人地位的法律化.各国皆对听证主持人的法律地位作了充分研究和规定.目前大部分国家的行政程序法普遍采取职权主义模式,将听证主持人定位为占主导地位的听证指挥者,这违背了行政听证中的公正、平等等基本价值取向,可能使听证主持人的行为演变成具有强制力的具体行政行为.我国现行法律法规对于听证主持人的规定过于简单,对听证主持人的法律地位未涉及.在中国的行政听证活动中,听证主持人同普通法院的法官相比应当处于一种超然的地位,同听讧当事人应该是平等的关系,同其他行政机关应该是一种相互独立的关系.只有这样才能确保行政听证活动的公正和平等,使公民的合法权利得到保护.     

Comparing deep-end confinement in England & Wales and Norway

Extreme forms of custody represent the boundary points of state power. The configuration of the most restrictive corners of prison systems, and what goes on within them, is highly instructive in exposing the objectives, limits, and implications of state coercion at its most severe. Based on data collected in England & Wales and Norway, this article has two main aims. The first is to explore the degree to which “deep-end” confinement differs between jurisdictions with different penal philosophies. The second is to understand how the most extreme form of confinement in each jurisdiction differs from the more typical carceral experiences within each system and its overall penal ethos. Empirically, then, the article seeks to shine light into the deepest dominions of both prison systems, illuminating the experiential texture of extreme forms of imprisonment. It concludes by asking what can be inferred about Nordic exceptionalism, and about deep-end confinement more generally, by analyzing these domains.     

论羁押必要性

羁押必要性通常是指羁押对于实现刑事诉讼目的是必需的,具有法定性、合理性和变动性三个特征。羁押必要性与羁押要件（条件）、羁押理由（事由）、逮捕必要性等既相区别又密切联系。羁押必要性的内容,主要由羁押目的所决定,具体包括保全必要性和预防必要性两个方面。羁押必要性是羁押要件的基本元素,是区分羁押与其他替代性强制措施的基本标准,是犯罪嫌疑人、被告人权利的基本保障。
