SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN IN FAMILY COURT CASES

This article presents a conceptual framework for describing cases involving children with special needs that are increasingly being seen in family court. Three categories that represent the most common of such cases include (1) acute, life-threatening medical conditions; (2) chronic developmental disorders; and (3) psychological and behavioral syndromes. After detailing the nature of the disabilities in each category, perspectives from the bench are offered with specific recommendations and general strategies for effective case management. This is followed by a proposal of an innovative conceptual model—the Individualized Parenting Plan (IPP)—that organizes and integrates nine domains essential for a comprehensive parenting plan for special needs children. The article concludes with a list of sixteen strategic guidelines for servicing the families of these special needs children, in their best interests.     

网络服务商(ISP)刑事责任的解构

网络服务商(Internet Service Provider,简称ISP)是指为用户提供网络接入和网络信息服务的公司或机构.网络服务商(ISP)属于含义非常宽泛而不具体、明确的概念范畴,由于不同服务商在网络运行中担负的功能不同,其承担的刑事责任也有所不同,要探讨网络服务商的刑事责任,需要分别解构其涵摄下的网络连线服务商(IAP)、网络内容服务商(ICP)和网络平台服务商(IPP)等各自的刑事责任,从而能清楚地反映和呈现网络服务商的刑事责任体系,进而能准确认定各网络服务商的刑事责任.

Severe personality disorder,treatment engagement and the Legal Aid,Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012: what you need to know

Empirical research has demonstrated a link between legal coercion and treatment engagement following conviction among those with severe personality disorder. Legal coercive pressures were often applied by the Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection (IPP), until it was replaced by the Extended Determinate Sentence by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. In this paper, it is proposed that use of the new determinate sentence will lessen motivation for treatment engagement. One effect of treatment refusal may be greater reliance by the Secretary of State for Justice on his jurisdiction to transfer prisoners due for release to secure hospital transfers under the Mental Health Act 1983. Not only will this risk posturing undermine the principal aim of the Offender Personality Disorder Implementation Pathway to improve treatment engagement among the target group, it will also have negative implications for medical practitioners working in secure forensic hospitals. To demonstrate what is at stake, the paper briefly recapitulates empirical findings familiar to readers of the journal, before drawing on original unpublished data.

我国《消费者权益保护法》虽规定了经营者的说明义务,但不具有强制性,对在线经营者强制说明义务的立法更落后于国际社会。从网络交易的远程性、虚拟性出发,为实现消费者权益保护的终极价值追求,应对BtoC中的卖方和IPP网络平台提供者做出强制说明的法律规定。
