Parents As Fiduciaries, Elizabeth S. Scott, Robert E. Scott

Faculty Scholarship

Traditionally, the law has deferred to the rights of biological parents in regulating the parent-child relationship. More recently, as the emphasis of legal regulation has shifted to protecting children's interests, critics have targeted the traditional focus on parents' rights as impeding the goal of promoting children's welfare. Some contemporary scholars argue instead for a "child-centered perspective," in contrast to the current regime under which biological parents continue to have important legal interests in their relationship with their children. The underlying assumption of this claim is that the rights of parents and the interests of children often are conflicting, and that …

Reflections On A Case (Of Motherhood), Jane M. Spinak

Faculty Scholarship

She surveyed my office for signs of conspiracy. We had had two or three telephone conversations that had conveyed my ambivalence about representing her. A former colleague had urged her to call the clinic for help but I was reluctant to accept her case for the clinic: we rarely represented foster parents and the procedural complexity of the case convinced me that I would be unable to assign students to represent this client so late in the semester. I was resigned, however, to help her find a lawyer, both because a former colleague had sent her and because the snippets …

The Divorced Father: Impact Of Losing His Family, Meredith Ohran

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

In the United States approximately one in two marriages ends in divorce. Sixty percent of those divorces involve dependent children, and the majority of those children are awarded to the custody of their mothers, leaving their fathers as the non-custodial parent. The loss of family has an impact on the psyche of the father: he may withdraw from his family or tum to alcohol, and his self-esteem may suffer. The impact of divorce on fathers is severe.

No-Fault Marital Dissolution: The Bitter Triumph Of Naked Divorce, J Herbie Difonzo

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, the author examines the origins of the no-fault divorce movement, concluding that the abandonment of fault grounds was conceived as a conservative measure intended to facilitate the reversal of the escalating divorce rate and to replace traditional marital dissolution with therapeutic divorce. This reform collapsed at mid-point, achieving only the jettisoning of divorce grounds. The author argues that an unintended consequence of the reform battle was the transformation from mutual consent divorce, the operating milieu for most of the twentieth century, into divorce on demand. The author concludes that this transformation has resulted in a significant loss …

Mandatory Reporting Of Wife Assault By Health Care Professionals, Diana Ginn

Dalhousie Law Journal

This article examines the issue of mandatory reporting of wife assault' by health care professionals. Should a health care professional who believes that a patient is being abused by her partner have a legal duty to report that belief, and the information on which it is based, to a designated government ministry or department?2 Such reporting is already required for cases of suspected child abuse and, in one province, for suspected abuse of adults who are mentally or physically unable to protect themselves from the abuse.

Social Welfare And Section 7 Of The Charter: Conrad V. Halifax (County Of), Teresa Scassa

Dalhousie Law Journal

The recent case of Conrad v. Halifax (County of) arose as as. 7 Charter challenge to the County regarding the manner in which the plaintiff was treated as a recipient of municipal social assistance. The case raises a number of interesting issues at the intersection of the Charter and administrative law including the scope of the right to "security of the person"; the scope of the principles of fundamental justice; issues of access to justice and the Charter; and the relationship between the finding of a Charter right and the treatment of the plaintiff in the fact-finding process. This case …

The District Of Columbia Medical Consent Law: Moving Towards Legal Recognition Of Kinship Caregiving, Randi S. Mandelbaum, Susan L. Waysdorf

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

In 1990, in the District of Columbia, over 27,000 children under the age of eighteen, or 23.4% of all children, were living in the care of an adult other than their parent or a foster parent.3 This was a thirty percent increase from the 1980 data for the District of Columbia.4 Nationally, over the past decade, these figures increased sixteen percent.0 Today, for adult relatives, primarily grandmothers, aunts, and close family friends, who step in to raise the children of their relatives or friends, private kinship caregiving is both a legacy and a matter of survival for the next generation.'

Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women Publications

Community mental health centers are becoming increasingly involved in the delivery of services to victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. To help centers plan a domestic violence program and address the risk of liability in treating clients who may be dangerous, the authors suggest principles to guide clinical decisions, standards for service delivery, and standards for staff development.

Standing Firm, On Forbidden Grounds, Richard A. Epstein

San Diego Law Review

This introductory Article to the Title VII Symposium contained in this issue of the San Diego Law Review addresses the critiques leveled at the book Forbidden Grounds: The Case Against Employment Discrimination Laws. Richard Epstein, the author of the book, recognizes the disagreement expressed in the Articles in the Symposium, and attempts to defend his thesis in this Article. He argued in Forbidden Grounds that the best set of overall social outcomes would come from eliminating antidiscrimination laws which prohibit employer discrimination on the grounds of race, creed, sex, age, handicap, or anything else. In this Article, he addresses several …
