A Happier Ending For Everyone: Resolving Adoption Disputes Between Putative Fathers And Adoptive Parents Through Clinical Mediation, Tiffany Bostinelos
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
This article will discuss the problems putative fathers face when their biological child is put up for adoption without their consent or knowledge. It will further argue that when a custody issue does arise between putative fathers and adoptive parents, the best way to resolve the custody dispute--and more importantly protect the best interest of the child--is through a process called clinical mediation. Finally, even if clinical mediation is not successful, this article will argue that clinical mediators should be permitted to make recommendations to the court as to the custody or visitation issues.

South African Marriage In Policy And Practice: A Dynamic Story, Michael W. Yarbrough
Publications and Research
Law forms one of the major structural contexts within which family lives play out, yet the precise dynamics connecting these two foundational institutions are still poorly understood. This article attempts to help bridge this gap by applying sociolegal concepts to empirical findings about state law's role in family, and especially in marriage, drawn from across several decades and disciplines of South Africanist scholarly research. I sketch the broad outlines of a nuanced theoretical approach for analysing the law-family relationship, which insists that the relationship entails a contingent and dynamic interplay between relatively powerful regulating institutions and relatively powerless regulated populations. …

Manuela H. V. The Eight Judicial District Court Of Nevada, In And For The County Of Clark; And The Honorable Robert Teuton And The State Of Nevada, 132 Nev., Adv. Op. 1 (Jan 7, 2016), Audra Powell
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
The court held that in an abuse and neglect case, when the district court establishes a case plan which includes an action step not related to a specific allegation in the abuse and neglect petition, the court must make “specific factual findings that justify the action step with which the parent must comply.” In the present case, the district court did not make such findings as to its requirement that petitioner, Manuela H., submit to drug testing, thus the supreme court granted her petition for a writ of mandamus challenging the district court’s order.

Legal And Medical Ethical Entanglements Of Infant Male Circumcision And International Law,

Legal And Medical Ethical Entanglements Of Infant Male Circumcision And International Law, Paul Jerome Mclaughlin Jr.
Library Faculty Publications
The practice of infant male circumcision has been debated by legal and medical experts for years. The practice, once seen as a social norm, has come under opposition by children’s rights, legal, and medical organisations around the world. In order to meet the requirements of international treaty law and allow infant male children the fullest opportunity for self determination, infant male circumcision must be treated under the law and by medical practitioners with the same degree of opposition that female genital mutilation has received.

Recent Development: Sieglein V. Schmidt: Pursuant To § 1-206(B) Of The Estates And Trusts Article, Artificial Insemination Encompasses In Vitro Fertilization Using Donated Sperm; A Court May Use The Goldberger Factors To Determine Voluntary Impoverishment; A Trial Court Can Issue A Permanent Injunction For Harassment Based On § 1-203(A) Of The Family Law Article., Virginia J. Yeoman
University of Baltimore Law Forum
The Court of Appeals of Maryland held that the term “artificial insemination” includes in vitro fertilization using donated sperm, and that a consenting husband is presumed to be the father of the child born as a result of the procedure. Sieglein v. Schmidt, 447 Md. 647, 652, 136 A.3d 751, 754 (2016). The court also held that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in finding the husband to be voluntarily impoverished or in issuing a permanent injunction based on harassment. Id.

Obergefell'S Missed Opportunity, Catherine Smith
Scholarly Articles
Part I of this article delineates the harms to children from marriage bans, harms that the Obergefell Court relied upon to recognize the fundamental right to marry for same-sex couples. Part II explains how Obergefell missed an opportunity to advance the constitutional rights of children by failing to invoke well-established equal protection law. This discussion briefly catalogues the omitted child-centered cases that warranted a more robust analysis of children's rights. This series of cases begins with the Brown v. Board of Education decision, and then turns to a number of post-Brown equal protection cases that explicitly prohibited state practices that …
