Burnout And Employee Satisfaction Of Mental Health Clinicians In Corrections, Jeremy C. Capuyon, Lindsay Gietzen

Pacific Journal of Health

Approximately 1.9 million individuals are currently incarcerated within the United States. Rehabilitation and preparation for parole back into the community is common goal amongst correctional facilities. Mental health clinicians (social workers and psychologists) within the correctional facilities are providers who assist in the rehabilitation of inmates. Unfortunately, mental health clinicians in correctional facilities experience high rates of burnout and low levels of job satisfaction, resulting in an increase in turnover rates. This research project looks to investigate the impact burnout and employee satisfaction has on mental health clinicians who work in correctional settings. Furthermore, this research project compares burnout and …

Confirmation Notes In The English Common Law, Ilias Bantekas

Pace Law Review

Confirmation notes allow parties to a final or near-final contract to specify the terms of their agreement and thus render it binding. As a result, the note may take the form of an offer or acceptance or, if so specified by the parties, it may just as well serve as the contract. Where the note does not serve as a contract, the receiver is presumed to have accepted its terms if it has not rejected within reasonable time. A confirmation note that adds, modifies or limits the parties’ original (usually oral) agreement has no effect, unless the receiver unjustifiably delays …

Despair For Democracy, Bennett L. Gershman

Pace Law Review

In the convoluted terrain of American democracy, the proliferation of lies, misinformation, conspiracy theories, and paranoid thinking has emerged as a pervasive force, undermining the foundational principles upon which the nation was built. This article embarks on a penetrating exploration of the multifaceted challenges posed by these phenomena, exacerbated by the divisive rhetoric and provocative incitements to violence perpetuated by the Trump administration. As the fabric of truth unravels, the rule of law stands as a critical linchpin in preserving the integrity of democracy, serving as a bulwark against the encroachment of authoritarianism and the unchecked spread of disinformation.

Free Exercise Challenges To Entheogen Prohibitions: Precedents, Principles, And Issues, Kevin Chamow

Pace Law Review

This paper examines the conditions for the possibility of future

challenges to prohibitions against the cultivation, distribution, and use of entheogens—substances which reliably induce religious experiences in their users—based on the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Smith no longer applies to federal prohibitions against entheogens, because of Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Under the current Gonzalez framework, the Court is given the difficult task of evaluating the cost of the claimant’s exemption against the state’s interest in the general ban; including how the exemption would impact enforcement of the general ban. This is essentially predictive systems-theory and policymaking, …

Subjective Deliberate Indifference: The Correct Standard For Pre-Trial Detainees' Fourteenth Amendment Claims For Inadequate Medical Care, Douglas Weeks

Pace Law Review

This article examines the legal standard of “subjective deliberate indifference” as it pertains to the Fourteenth Amendment claims of pre-trial detainees facing inadequate medical care. With the Supreme Court’s evolving interpretation of constitutional protections for incarcerated individuals, this piece argues that subjective deliberate indifference offers a more appropriate framework for evaluating the state’s duty to provide adequate medical treatment. By analyzing relevant case law, including the significant distinctions between pre-trial detainees and convicted prisoners, the article highlights the necessity of considering the mental state of correctional officials in medical negligence claims. Furthermore, it explores the implications of this standard on …

Samuel Alito's Dobbs Opinion And The Resurrection Of Second-Class Citizenship, Sue Mcgrath

Pace Law Review

This article examines Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, analyzing its implications for women’s rights and reproductive freedom in the United States. By contextualizing Alito’s arguments within a historical framework, the piece argues that his decision represents a significant regression in civil rights, effectively resurrecting a form of second-class citizenship for women. The analysis delves into the legal reasoning employed, the socio-political ramifications of the ruling, and the broader implications for gender equality. Ultimately, the article calls for a critical reevaluation of judicial interpretations that prioritize certain rights over others, highlighting the …

By analyzing relevant legal standards and the roles of various stakeholders, the article provides essential guidance for parents on how to effectively engage with CPS while protecting their family’s interests. Emphasizing the importance of in- formed advocacy, the article aims to equip parents with the knowledge and …

The Internal Revenue Code's Section 351 Implied Deferred Tax Liability Problem, Stanley Veliotis

Pace Law Review

Most people take for granted that the fair market value of property exchanged for other property is of equal value. However, in the case of transfers of appreciated property to a corporation in a transaction qualifying for non-recognition under Section 351, the creation of a second unrealized gain in the hands of the transferee corporation—and thus a newly created implied deferred tax liability on such gain when later realized—reduces the value of the stock issued to the shareholder. Despite this, in Section 351 settings academics, textbook and casebook writers, the Treasury, and the courts take a standard approach of equating …

Why Not More Seats? Increasing The House Of Representative's Size Using The Least Populous State Solution, Jennifer Kindred Mitchell

Pace Law Review

Representative democracy is for the people, by the people. But what happens when the connection between the people’s representative and their constituents erodes over time due to increased population and district size? The United States House of Representatives’ membership has been capped at 435 for almost 100 years leading to an increase in the average district size from 280,875 in 1930 to 761,169 in 2020. House membership and constituents represented by each member is out of balance, causing a decrease in representative democracy, large over and underrepresented district disparities, and feelings of disenfranchisement by citizens. Therefore, this paper premises that …

An-Najah University Journal for Research - B (Humanities)
