Clients Aging Out Of Care, Dale Margolin Cecka
Clients Aging Out Of Care, Dale Margolin Cecka
Law Faculty Publications
Youth aging out of foster care face an arduous road. Lawyers for foster youth must help to assure their safe and stable exit from the system and a comfortable transition into the next stage of their lives. Lawyers cannot rely on social service agencies and caseworkers to handle the myriad of issues that youth encounter, and many require court orders or other legal measures.
Protecting Neglect: The Constitutionality Of Spiritual Healing Exemptions To Child Protection Statutes, Scott St. Amand
Protecting Neglect: The Constitutionality Of Spiritual Healing Exemptions To Child Protection Statutes, Scott St. Amand
Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
This comment examines the historically uncertain balance between an individual's right to freely exercise his religious beliefs and the state's countervailing interest to protect the welfare of its youngest and most vulnerable citizens. By detailing the history of this fragile relationship through its statutory and judicial renderings, this comment will illustrate that spiritual exemptions to child protection statutes violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, as well as the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and conflict directly with multiple landmark Supreme Court decisions.

Condemning Our Youth To Lives As Criminals:Incarcerating Children As Adults, Chelsea Dunn
Condemning Our Youth To Lives As Criminals:Incarcerating Children As Adults, Chelsea Dunn
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Underlying the juvenile court system are two competing philosophies of justice which have taken predominance over the system at different historical periods in relation to the public climate. Early reformers conceptualized juvenile justice as an informal and protective system that would seek to rehabilitate disadvantaged children who had succumbed to criminal influences. In response to negative assessments noting the leniency of juvenile courts, critics began to advocate for a more punitive system which would focus on retribution rather than treatment. Measures adopted by courts to increase the criminal responsibility placed upon juveniles include minimum sentencing guidelines and transfer of offenders …

Who You Gonna Call - Virginia's Multi-Year Effort To Create A Children's Ombudsman Office, Melissa Goemann
Who You Gonna Call - Virginia's Multi-Year Effort To Create A Children's Ombudsman Office, Melissa Goemann
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
If your home was overrun with spirits in the movie Ghostbusters, it was easy to know who to call-Ghostbusters! But for a child or parent to navigate through the maze of Virginia bureaucracies to figure out whom to call when questions or concerns arise about a child in state care can be difficult, if not impossible. A desire to simplify that process formed the impetus for recent Virginia legislation to establish a children's ombudsman office. Indeed, the ombudsman legislation would elevate the ombudsman beyond the role of simply "ghostbusting," or handling each complaint in a vacuum. It would also require …

The Price Of Privilege: Is Virginia's Ban On Mental Health Professionals' Participation In Custody Determinations Really In The Best Interests Of The Child, Mary Wilkins Hunt
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
This article examines the national treatment of mental health care professionals' participation in custody determinations and compares these practices with Virginia's ban. Furthermore, this article explores the rationale behind the ban on therapist testimony while weighing the pros and cons of allowing such evidence to be used. It then takes a closer look at the arguments for repealing the ban and the possible benefits which could result from the 2008 repeal.

Protecting Virginia's Youth: Establishing A Children's Ombudsman Office, Chelsea Dunn
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Efforts from across Virginia to give our Commonwealth's vulnerable children a voice culminated on March 8, 2008, as legislation approving the creation of a Children's Ombudsman Office passed both houses of the Virginia legislature. Senate Bill 315, introduced by Senator John S. Edwards and co-sponsored by Senator R. Edward Houck,' passed the Senate with only one dissenting vote and received unanimous treatment in the House. House Bill 1131, introduced by Delegate William H. Fralin, Jr. and co-sponsored by Delegate Robert H. Brink, was approved unanimously in both chambers. These identical bills seek to give a voice to the 9,269 vulnerable …

This Article examines questions likely to arise with respect to these interests when an attorney suspects his or her juvenile client may be incompetent. Part I reviews the doctrine of adjudicative competence in the context of adult criminal proceedings. Part II summarizes the newly evolved application of the doctrine in juvenile court. Part III examines the ethical, legal, and practical considerations that arise when a lawyer has concerns about whether a juvenile client possesses the competence needed to participate appropriately in juvenile court proceedings.

The Constitutionality Of Mandatory Public School Community Service Programs, Rodney A. Smolla
The Constitutionality Of Mandatory Public School Community Service Programs, Rodney A. Smolla
Law Faculty Publications
Proposals for public service programs have long had currency in America, and may be gaining a certain millennium momentum in current public debate. While proposals for national public service programs of varying ambition and scope continue to be debated, at the local level a growing number of U.S. public school districts are implementing community service programs for high school students. Community service programs generally require students to complete a specified number of hours of service as a condition for graduation. In a typical program, a student may be required to complete forty to sixty hours of community service with organizations …

The Practice Of Pediatrics In Pedagogy? The Costly Combination In Cedar Rapids Community School District V. Garret F., Jennifer L. Barnes
University of Richmond Law Review
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ("IDEA")' was enacted in 1975 to ensure that all children with disabilities, like their nondisabled counterparts, have access to a free appropriate public education designed to meet their unique needs. This "appropriate education" mandate emphasizes the necessity of providing such children with special education and "related services," and federal funding is offered to state and local educational agencies to assist in implementing this objective.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The past year generally has been another quiet one for children's legal issues in Virginia, although it was a busier than normal year in the United States Supreme Court with the grandparents' visitation case, the Texas high school football game prayer case, a significant Title I case involving the provision of instructional material to religiously operated schools, and the gay Boy Scout leader case. Not as much occurred at the state level, with little legislation of great significance to children and youth being enacted at the 2000 General Assembly session. However, a succession of cases interpreting and applying Baker v. …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The Virginia General Assembly once again acted in a very restrained fashion in addressing juvenile justice issues in the lengthening wake after the extensive statutory changes in 1994 and 1996. The newly enacted juvenile competency statute is an important innovation contained in the new article 18 oftitle 16.1 of the Virginia Code, and a study by the Virginia Bar Association on the applicability of the insanity defense in juvenile delinquency proceedings will further address the implications of mental health problems for children in trouble. One major issue in the delinquency area that arose during the past year involved the necessity …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
Compared with the intensive focus on juvenile justice issues in Virginia between 1994 and 1996, and the significant statutory changes generated by that focus, the past two years have been relatively serene, at least for juvenile law. Legislative activity about juvenile justice has been subdued, and few cases have interpreted the major legislative changes wrought during that three-year period, or their effects. The 1998 legislative session did result in the demise of the family court initially created five years earlier contingent on the provision of adequate funding for the court at some future session. The provision of funding for the …

Mlb V. Slj: "Equal Justice" For Indigent Parents, Jason T. Jacoby
University of Richmond Law Review
The United States Supreme Court recently decided that a state may not, consistent with the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, condition appeals from trial court decrees terminating parental rights on the affected parent's ability to pay record preparation fees. In M.L.B. v. S.L.J., the Supreme Court found that, just as a state may not block an indigent petty offender's access to an appeal afforded others, Mississippi may not deny M.L.B., because of her poverty, appellate review of the sufficiency of the evidence on which the trial court found her unfit to remain a parent.
