Boys, Masculinities And Juvenile Justice, Nancy E. Dowd
Boys, Masculinities And Juvenile Justice, Nancy E. Dowd
UF Law Faculty Publications
Culture and tradition are part of the macrosystem of ideas and beliefs that have a dramatic effect on children and families. One aspect of culture is gender beliefs, values and roles. Feminist analysis has explored the incorporation of gender in a wide range of structures, challenging gender bias and advocating reform of a range of laws, structural systems, and social practices. Masculinities analysis, an outgrowth of feminist analysis that focuses on men as gendered subjects, provides a perspective to consider those areas in which men are disproportionately present either in positions of power and privilege, or in positions of disadvantage. …
Equal Sentences For Unequal Participation: Should The Eighth Amendment Allow All Juvenile Murder Accomplices To Receive Life Without Parole?, Brian Gallini
School of Law Faculty Publications and Presentations
No court has addressed the constitutional significance of sentencing juvenile murder accomplices who play a minimal role in the underlying killing to life in prison without parole. Indeed, no precedent makes clear whether it is cruel and unusual to impose that sentence on juvenile offenders convicted of first-degree murder pursuant to either the felony-murder doctrine or an accomplice theory of liability, notwithstanding their minimal involvement in the victim’s death. To investigate this unanswered question, Part I of this Article explores the imposition of life without parole sentences on juvenile non-killers convicted of murder via either the felony-murder doctrine or accomplice …
Lessons In Access To Justice: Racialized Youths In Ontario's Safe Schools, Janet E. Mosher
Lessons In Access To Justice: Racialized Youths In Ontario's Safe Schools, Janet E. Mosher
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Access to justice is often equated with access to institutionalized dispute resolution processes, and the objective barriers that hinder such access-costs and delay most particularly-are commonly identified as the primary objects of reform efforts. In sharp contrast, when interviews and focus groups were conducted with racialized youths in Toronto regarding their experiences of access to justice in the context of school disciplinary matters, accounts of access to dispute resolution processes being impeded by costs and delay did not figure prominently. The interviews and focus groups revealed that many racialized youths scarcely ever considered accessing institutionalized dispute resolution processes largely because …

Adolescents Under International Law: Autonomy As The Key To Reproductive Health, Aliya Haider
Adolescents Under International Law: Autonomy As The Key To Reproductive Health, Aliya Haider
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
As a matter of policy, the reproductive and sexual health of adolescents matter because they comprise almost one half of the world's population. As a matter of international human rights law, adolescents have reproductive and sexual health rights. This article outlines how the international community must ensure adolescents' access to and exercise of those reproductive health rights. Governments must enable informed decision-making while also offering state protections for this vulnerable population. Without laws and policies that uphold adolescent health worldwide, future generations will needlessly suffer.

School Bullies—They Aren't Just Students: Examining School Interrogations And The Miranda Warning, Elizabeth A. Brandenburg
Mercer Law Review
In the first few weeks of working at the Macon Circuit Public Defender's Office in Macon, Georgia, I represented a juvenile client who was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds. She was a fourteen-year-old public high school student accused of bringing a knife to school. She did not mean to bring the knife to school, having that morning switched purses, and when she realized the knife was in her bag, she did not know what to do. She did not get caught with the knife in a fight, nor were there ever allegations that she was involved …

Alternatives For Youth’S Advocacy Program:Reducing Minority Youth Incarceration Placements In Cleveland, Ohio, Christopher A. Mallett, Linda Julian
Social Work Faculty Publications
Detaining and incarcerating juvenile delinquents is ineffective and costly juvenile justice policy. These placements, indicative of the “tough on crime” approach, become problematic for many of these youths who do not have the advantage of legal counsel because they waive this right. In addition, a majority of these youths have a mental health or special education disability that does not get addressed in correctional facilities. Alternatives for Youth's Advocacy Program (AFY) in Cleveland, Ohio (Cuyahoga County) is addressing these issues using a holistic approach that includes the provision of civil legal representation to assist youths in accessing disability services and …

Part IV outlines the methods used to determine the recidivism rates of the program. Part V displays the results of the study and illustrates the differences with charts. Part VI discusses the possible explanations for the differences in the recidivism rates. Part VII concludes with closing remarks …

Just as the scales beneath the feet of our nation's children are reaching a tipping point, so too is the social movement of providing local, organic foods for America's schoolchildren. This is welcome news to Alice Waters and others who have long-promoted the health and lifestyle benefits of consuming whole, organic, locally grown and produced foods. Change is under way in many districts around the country; one of the most promising is the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD), which has undergone a complete overhaul of its school lunch program under the leadership of the "Renegade Lunch Lady," Chef Ann Cooper. …

The twenty-first century will bring, among other things, an explosion of technology (in domains ranging from electronic to reproductive), greater personal mobility, and an aging population. Thus, this bibliography emphasizes cutting edge issues in areas as wide-ranging as elder law, electronic discovery, changes in the legal profession (such as internet advertising and provision of legal services), multidisciplinary and multijurisdictional practice, and the new world of reproductive technologies. This bibliography covers law review articles, A.L.R. entries, and some web articles published after 2002, with an emphasis on those in more recent years. The bibliography for the first time expands to include …
Child Welfare And Future Persons, Carter Dillard
Child Welfare And Future Persons, Carter Dillard
Georgia Law Review
While ethicists have delved deeply into the rights and wrongs of procreating,lawyers have had little to say about the matter, because they are stymied by practical concerns, by the tendency of the law to ignore prospective children and their interests,and by the misperception that a fundamental rights boundary absolutely forbids state intervention. But recently a small door has opened in this wall between law and ethics: courts faced with repeatedly having to remove abused and neglected children from parents judged unfit, have issued temporary no-procreation orders. As precedent builds and the possibility of ex ante regulation of procreation and parenthood …
What Do We Have Against Parents?: An Assessment Of Judicial Bypass Procedures And Parental Involvement In Abortions By Minors, Wade Schueneman
What Do We Have Against Parents?: An Assessment Of Judicial Bypass Procedures And Parental Involvement In Abortions By Minors, Wade Schueneman
Georgia Law Review
It is the established law of the land that minors enjoy a limited right to terminate unwanted pregnancies. States may restrain the exercise of this right by requiring parental consent or notification, but they must allow minors an opportunity to bypass consent requirements. This Note examines the history and present state of judicial and nonjudicial bypass mechanisms. It details the constraints and requirements imposed by state and federal constitutions, assesses the current landscape of parental involvement statutes, and provides prescriptive analysis as to how states might choose to refine and improve their bypass mechanisms to better protect parental rights.
In Re Gault And The Promise Of Systemic Reform, Kate Kruse
In Re Gault And The Promise Of Systemic Reform, Kate Kruse
Faculty Scholarship
The right to counsel for juveniles in delinquency cases that the Supreme Court declared in In re Gault can be seen as an effort at systemic reform - a purposeful alteration of the structure, procedure, or resources of a law-administering system that aims to better align the system's operation with the principles or ideals on which it is based. Although the Court articulated the benefits of counsel in terms of individual representation, juvenile defenders are increasingly called upon to expand their role to include broader forms of advocacy aimed at reforming juvenile justice system practice and procedure. The predominant stakeholder …

Gender And Nation-Building: Family Law As Legal Architecture Symposium - Nation Building: A Legal Architecture: Articles And Essays, Tracy E. Higgins, Rachel P. Fink
Faculty Scholarship
Although the discipline of family law in the western legal tradition transcends the public/private law boundary in many ways, it is the argument of this Essay that family law, in the private law sense of defining the rights and obligations of members of a family, forms an important part of the legal architecture of nation-building in at least three ways. First, access to the resources of the nation-state devolves through biologically and culturally gendered national boundaries, both reflecting and reinforcing the differential status of men and women in the sphere of the family. Second, the social institution of the family …
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 …
