La Fragilisation Du Lien De Confiance Au Sein De L’Intervention Sociale En Protection De La Jeunesse : Peut-On Blâmer Le Droit ?, Marilyn Coupienne 2021 The Peter A. Allard School of Law

La Fragilisation Du Lien De Confiance Au Sein De L’Intervention Sociale En Protection De La Jeunesse : Peut-On Blâmer Le Droit ?, Marilyn Coupienne

Canadian Journal of Family Law

Dans le contexte de la protection de la jeunesse, la Loi sur la protection de la jeunesse (LPJ) édicte les pouvoirs et responsabilités des intervenantes sociales œuvrant à la Direction de la protection de la jeunesse (DPJ) et encadre la relation entre celles-ci et les familles. Cette loi octroie aux intervenantes un double mandat, qui implique à la fois celui de l’aide et celui du contrôle et de la surveillance. Selon la littérature relative aux pratiques sociales dans ce domaine, les familles suivies par la DPJ peuvent se sentir observées, traquées, dénuées d’intimité et considèrent difficile de laisser …


Vaccination And The Child’S Right To An Open Future, Elias Feldman 2021 Lewis & Clark Law School

Vaccination And The Child’S Right To An Open Future, Elias Feldman

Lewis & Clark Law Review

States commonly require the vaccination of children through their parens pa- triae and police powers. But many states also allow parents to opt for non- medical exemptions from these vaccination requirements, contributing to the emergence of a national vaccine hesitancy crisis. By permitting parents not to vaccinate their children, do states that grant these exemptions violate children’s rights? This Article posits that children may indeed have a right to be vac- cinated and thus protected against contracting a disease for which there is a scientifically proven vaccine. This Article examines this question through the lens of Joel Feinberg’s theory of …


Parents And The Interstate Compact On The Placement Of Children: A Flexible Approach, Alex Jones 2021 Lewis & Clark Law School

Parents And The Interstate Compact On The Placement Of Children: A Flexible Approach, Alex Jones

Lewis & Clark Law Review

Before an Oregon court can send a child across the Columbia River to live with a Washington foster parent, the authorities on the Washington side must first approve the move. Unless and until that happens, the child stays in Oregon. But what if the Washington “foster” parent is the child’s biological father? The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) imposes conditions on the sending of children across state lines to live with foster parents or potential adoptive parents. Courts in different states have long disagreed over whether those conditions ever apply to the placement of children with their …

The New Parental Rights, Anne C. Dailey, Laura A. Rosenbury 2021 University of Connecticut School of Law

The New Parental Rights, Anne C. Dailey, Laura A. Rosenbury

UF Law Faculty Publications

This Article sets forth a new model of parental rights designed to free children and families from the ideals of parent–child unity and family privacy that underlie the law’s expansive protection for parental rights. The law currently presumes that parents’ interests coincide with those of their children, creating an illusion of parent–child union that suppresses the very real ways in which children’s interests and identities, even at a young age, may depart from those of their parents. Expansive protection for parental rights also confines children to the private family, ignoring children’s broad range of interests beyond the family and thwarting …

Biology And Illegitimacy, Douglas NeJaime 2021 Yale Law School

Biology And Illegitimacy, Douglas Nejaime

SMU Law Review

This symposium Essay examines how biological parenthood, which in the twentieth century served as a mechanism by which to repudiate “illegitimacy” and to protect nonmarital parent–child relationships, today serves to justify new forms of illegitimacy and to separate unmarried parents from their children.

In the second half of the twentieth century, courts and legislatures renounced the discriminatory regime of illegitimacy, in which the children of unmarried parents enjoyed few rights to support or inheritance. They did so by raising the legal status of biological parenthood—extending rights to unmarried biological fathers and their children. Today, though, the vindication of biological ties …

The Hidden Gender Of Gender-Neutral Paid Parental Leave: Examining Recently-Enacted Law In The United States And Australia, Deborah A. Widiss 2021 Indiana University Maurer School of Law

The Hidden Gender Of Gender-Neutral Paid Parental Leave: Examining Recently-Enacted Law In The United States And Australia, Deborah A. Widiss

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The United States and Australia are unusual in their approach to providing paid time off to new parents. Virtually every other country in the world provides maternity leaves that are far longer than paternity leaves, even if they also provide supplemental parental leave available to either parent. Recently-enacted laws in the United States and Australia, by contrast, eschew sex-specific classifications entirely. But, while both adopt gender-neutral approaches, they are structured quite differently. American laws provide each parent equal and non-transferable benefits; Australian law provides an extended period of benefits to a “primary” caregiver, and a much shorter period of benefits …

Judicial Discretion Is Advised: The Lack Of Discretionary Appointments Of Counsel For Children In Washington State Dependency Proceedings, Marisa Forthun 2021 University of Washington School of Law

Judicial Discretion Is Advised: The Lack Of Discretionary Appointments Of Counsel For Children In Washington State Dependency Proceedings, Marisa Forthun

Washington Law Review Online

State agencies initiate dependency proceedings when a child is alleged, often due to parental neglect or abuse, to be a dependent of the state. The state must intervene “[w]hen parents do not comply with [Child Protective Services] requirements, or when the state believes the child is at too great a risk to remain at home even if parents were to comply with services.” Dependency proceedings usually take place in juvenile courts and involve the local state agency, the parents, and the child. After the government files a petition alleging circumstances of neglect or abuse, “[t]he court issues temporary orders regarding …
