Mediation In Family Court
Mediation is a different process to reach a resolution for parties that find themselves in a family
court matter. Mediation is a part of the process ran by the courts by individuals that are unbiased and
yet knowledgably about family law matters and the law. The courts want couples to give mediation a
try before taking the matter before the judge in case some issues can be worked out beforehand.
Attorneys are not included in this process. What happens in mediation is all parties will work on the
issues at hand as peaceful as possible and in a manner to hopefully reach amicable outcomes, with a
third party to help oversee this process and help negotiate their issues. These issues that can be heard
in mediation are many and can be a wide variety of needs from the parties. These issues can be
negotiation of assets, debts, child and spousal support, and visitation and custody matters of any
children involved in the case. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The courts do not want to get involved in matters unless they absolutely have to. Courts require this
to give the options to reach these agreements before going to trial because sometimes the parties will
walk away with not so great results as if they arranged it themselves. Only these parties know what
is best for their kids. The courts would have to make a decision right away on these issues and
sometimes a party may not have the desired outcome they were looking for, if a court has to

Family Dependency Treatment Court (FDTC)
This paper will look into family dependency treatment court (FDTC) also known as dependency
drug court (DDC). The paper will examine the question: How effective is FDTC/DDC when
comparing families with drug and alcohol problems and children in the child welfare system who
are enrolled in the FDTC/DDC and those who are not enrolled in the FDTC/DDC? When children
are removed from their parents or guardians, the cost of caring for these children becomes the repos
scalability of the child welfare system. $24 billion was spent taking care of the children (Somervell,
Saylor, and Mao, 2008). From 2002–2007, about 12% of children lived in a home with at least 1%
of abusing drugs (SAMSHA 2009). According to Bryan and Havens, women receiving FTDC in ...

families involved in FDTC significantly had more court reviews and more motion hearings (Bruns,

No Matter How Loud I Shout
The book, No Matter How Loud I Shout, takes an in–depth look at the juvenile court system in the
state of California in the 1990s. Through a colorful narrative story the author, Edward Humes, paints
of vivid picture of the how dysfunctional the system truly was. The main focus is on the various
ways the system has failed many of the juveniles that it is intended to help. Peggy Beckstrand, the
Deputy District Attorney, says it best "The first thing you learn about this place, is that nothing
works." (No Matter How Loud I Shout, 1996, p.31)
The one beacon of hope the juvenile court has is Judge Roosevelt Dorn. Judge Dorn is known in the

When someone tells them to rob the local store there is no question or hesitation. It is the quickest

through the cracks of the juvenile system are high. This only fuels their behavior and crime.
The case of George Trevino was an exceptional one in which his real family was no longer in the
picture, whether they were in prison or dead. He had nowhere else to turn but to foster care, and at
an early age. He was fortunate enough to stay with his brother for a few years, which most children
are not so lucky. His brother proved to be the worst type of influence, getting him into trouble by
running away and joining gangs. The main problem with foster care is that children are often times
shuffled around from home to home and have no stability in their lives. That combined with the fact
that most children are put into foster care even though they are beyond rehabilitation, this makes
them less likely to change once put into the program due to previous family, and gang ties (Vito,
2004, p. 352).
By trying juveniles in the adult courts they are forcing them to accept a punishment that does not

Australian Court System
Court is one of the more complicated methods for resolving disputes, but is also regarded as one
with the highest quality of decision making. It is defined as an official forum where two parties
come and present their arguments to a juridical party who administers justice. The Australian court
system is hierarchical, where some courts are more important than others and handle different cases
depending upon its severity.
One of the reasons that courts are a popular option for solving disputes are because cases are
handled by legally qualified and experienced professionals. Judges must undergo over 10 years of
legal education and training, as well as display integrity and strong ethics before being appointed.
Lawyers are also required to undertake strict exams before representing their party in court and
assisting with professional advice. The legal advice and setting of a court gives smaller parties a
chance to stand against large corporations, like in the 2012 case between the Samaan family and
KFC. The victim claimed that their young daughter was left severely brain damaged from
salmonella poisoning after consuming KFC and the court ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Family Court Research Paper
Family court is tasked with hearing matters of family law, divorce and child custody. It is a
delegation of authority from the states' superior courts. Family court was established in 1910. The
U.S. Family courts' purpose is to provide family services that are specialized for their case and to
obtain positive results in family matters. In each state across the country, the state has specific laws
involving family issues such as child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, adoption,
guardianship, and domestic violence. In the matter of family law, typically one judge presides over
the case rather than a judge and jury. In some cases, mediation can be used in family court

Court Case: Family Entering Divorce
The purpose of this document is to give fathers a glimpse in to how the UCCJEA operates in actual
practice. As a family entering divorce you will likely hear how the court and all involved are very
concerned with the well–being of the family and especially as children. As I think you will observe
below, this is certainly not what I have encountered. Hopefully your situation will be better, but you
need to be prepared as honesty and transparency in the process and most important fairness, at least
in my case, has been completely lacking. It is unfortunate that the 'children', the ones who the court
professes to be most concerned about, are the ones who are the victims done the most harm by a

High Court Case: Kennon V. Spry
Kennon v Spry (2008) 238 CLR 366 Kennon v Spry ("Spry") follows a husband's appeal, by special
leave, to the High Court in an endeavour to restore himself as a beneficiary of a non–exhaustive,
discretionary trust ("the trust"). The High Court did not agree with the husband and held that he was
unable to re–establish his position as a beneficiary. The High Court did however find that the trust
assets would be considered property. The decisions reached by the High Court placed a new light in
view of family trust and the majority of French CJ, Gummow and Hayne JJ established that family
trusts could be considered the property of the parties to a marriage, albeit for different reasons.

One particular criticism of the decision of Spry is the argument against the decision of the majority
as demonstrated in Glover's article who states that 'finding that the husband had a beneficial interest
in the trust based in his power to appoint the wife and the wife's right to be considered surely means
that the dispositive power must be exercised in the wife's favour. Where has the discretion gone?
Only through illegal and fraudulent denial of discretions which qualified his positive power could
the Spry trustee act consistently with the Chief Justice's findings.' The power vested in Spry is
strongly against the purpose of a discretionary trust according to Glover who further states that 'the
fact that exercise of the power may result in property (for the power–holder or someone else) does
not mean that the power is itself property. Power is a capacity to act and not a thing which one owns.

Personal Theories On Family Court Beliefs
Family Court Participants The case I saw in family court was to last an hour but lasted 2 hours. The
case involved a divorced couple Darryl Foster and Linda Foster. Linda had an attorney named
Charles Brown who was very experienced from the way he addressed the court and asked the proper
questions. The court case was filed for temporary orders until a new custody order could be
established.
Linda got to get on the stand first as she was the one that filed the petition. She spoke of her time
dealing with addiction, their divorce, her depression, time she spent in prison for a DUI, and the
time spent with her daughter. She presented evidence of character letters, completion of counseling,
letter from her sponsor and her boss from work, documents showing her ADOT and judge releasing
her driver license.
Darryl seemed extremely nervous coming in as his hands were shaking. He was not prepared for
court and the attorney gave Darryl his copies of evidence. He often stated that he was not a lawyer
and did not know what he was doing. The judge tried comforting him saying "that it was okay and
he did not need to be" Darryl stepped on the stand and testified that he had not let Linda see her
daughter since 2014 regardless of what the court order said. He also admitted to letting Linda see

How To Deal With A Family Court Case

domestic violence is one of the most common. As would be expected, victims must be encouraged
to stand up against such an offense. It can be expected but the family law coping with this subject is
not too motivating. It even puts victims at risk. In addition to the difficulties faced by the victims,
they also have to worry about filing a criminal case before filing the domestic violence case. This is

Moreover, due to voluntary participation, a generally consensual and collaborative environment is
fostered. The ensuing reduced hostility aided by the professionalism of a mediator preserves and
possibly enhances strained relationships which is an integral interest of the families in dispute.
However, the use of these consensual methods do bring about certain noteworthy limitations such as
being used as a stalling tactic by either party as well as not operating on a system of precedent.
Effectively signifying that two disputes with similar factual circumstances may be treated
completely differently and thus inequitably in the eyes of the law. The most alarming issue arises
where good faith cannot be compelled, resulting in imbalanced agreements based on unreliable
facts. Ultimately, facilitation remains favourable amongst family disputes because agreements are
likely to have more secure commitment as decisions are made absent to an intimidating court
process and ideally satisfy both parties.
The remaining common method of alternative dispute resolution, before litigation through the court

The Rights Of A Child Within Family Court System
One of the great concerns for modern society today is the issue of child welfare. This covers taking
care of the basic needs of a child; food, shelter, warmth and promoting the child to develop mentally,
physically and socially so they are able to function as an active member of society. Due to the need
to meet the needs of society as a whole, the needs of children can sometimes either be ignored or
regarded as a secondary concern. Even though that one day these children will be adults in our
society, we do not always put their rights at the forefront for their overall development, education,
housing, health and general well–being. Within this essay I will be discussing the rights of a child
within family court system. I will be focusing on the lack of determination on the age a child can be
seen as criminally responsible, the reduction in rehabilitative ideals for children in conflict, the lack
of awareness about the child's rights as a reason for a reason for denying adequate protection for
children's rights in the youth justice system. The term children's rights has, over the years, been
determined in many different ways dependant on the cultural, social, economic or political rights.
With no one clear definition many child rights programmes have been seen counterproductive.

FPRLC Family Court Case
History and background. In 2010, FPRLC experienced a significant spike in business. The increase
was so significant that the firm at times would place a freeze on accepting incoming clients. FPRLC

determined by the jurisdiction of the case and the nature of the case. FPRLC charges an hourly rate
of $250 per hour that is billed out of the client's retainer account. The firm is payed for their services
as the attorney's work is completed, therefore depleting the client retainer account.
When a hearing takes place at a courthouse that is for example, two and one half hours away, the
client is billed for the travel time to and from the courthouse. When the courthouse is 150 miles

The process by which a juvenile is moved from juvenile court jurisdiction to adult criminal court
jurisdiction for an offense committed while still a juvenile. Also known as bind over, certification,
remand, and transfer. b. Transfer– Transfer occurs when jurisdiction over a juvenile case is turned
over to a criminal court. The waiver or transfer of jurisdiction from juvenile court to criminal court
is predicated on the assumption that some juveniles are not appropriate for processing in juvenile

waiver selected by a juvenile court at a hearing. It is the traditional type of waiver. Legislative

Legislative Bill 180: Case Study
Summary Legislative Bill 180 (LB180) allows for the use of Bridge Orders between Juvenile and
District courts to address custody between custodial and non–custodial parents. Specifically, when
the custodial parent has been deemed unsafe and the non–custodial parent needs to obtain full
custody. Another scenario includes when the parents separate during the juvenile court process and
one parent has been rehabilitated and the other has not, requiring a custody order to ensure the safety
of the child(ren). This White Paper supports passing LB 180. The intended audience of this White
Paper is the Nebraska Legislature Judiciary Committee.
Background
In 2014 the Barriers to Permanency Project conducted a case analysis of 455 children that had been
in out of home care for 36 months or longer. The study found that 7% or 32 children were still in
care due to custody not being established for the parent who had been deemed safe (K. B.
Hawekotte, address, January 26, 2017). Judges, case workers, Guardian ad Litems (GAL), attorneys,
and CASA (court appointed special advocates) are reluctant to terminate court jurisdiction of ...

This would mean the child(ren) are no longer state wards and the Department of Health and Human
Services would no longer be required to provide services to the family. The Juvenile Courts will
issue an order stating custody, physical care, and visitation only. This order is then transferred to
District Court either under a new docket or a pre–existing custody docket. After the bridge order is
established, either parent can file a complaint to modify the bridge order in the District Court
(A.180, 2017). This would eliminate the need for court–appointed attorneys and allow the parents an
opportunity to petition the order through the district

The Trial By Franz Kafka
The Trial by Franz Kafka, an incomplete novel chalked full of questions and confusion – leading
readers to ask questions such as "why does the court function how it does?" and "what the heck is K.
being arrested for again?" Although Kafka predicates the novel on these two ideas, the court and
Josef K., never do readers explicitly gain a comprehensive or satisfactory understanding of the pair.
In light of the fact that The Trial is an incomplete novel, Kafka intentionally leaves the function of
the court and K.'s true character up for question. Kafka accomplishes this by never giving a true
name to either the court or Josef K., keeping the upper levels of the court a secret, and in Josef K.'s
transition from successful banker to complete obsession with the court. Luckily, Kafka offers a trail
of breadcrumbs that enables his readers to begin answering some of the questions presented in this
book. This essay illuminates these "breadcrumb" moments scattered throughout the novel to reveal
the true relationship between the court and its subjects. Furthermore, this essay asserts that the court
was in fact correct in its conviction of Josef K. as evidenced in the last chapter of this novel. In this
novel, Kafka writes about a court system unlike anything seen today. Although Kafka never gives an
explicit description of the court, readers can gain a firm understanding of how the court functions
via proper close reading and synthesis of the novels many parts. One of the first pieces

I am place at the DYRS Family Court Liaison Unit. The department mission statement is to
effectively represent DSCYF in court proceeding by providing a department perspective resulting in
recommendations that are presented in one voice and support positive outcomes for all participants.
The mission statement is exactly what is presented in the court. I rate the mission statement as is a

statement states. I like how the liaisons advocate for the youth and support the family. One thing that
I dislike is sometimes the parents come in with attitudes and the liaison have to compromise with
who they are, and I can understand how hard that can be, but it has been done.
The Liaison unit represents the Department in juvenile bail proceedings and provides intake services

The Controversy Between Litigation And Alternative Dispute...
Litigation is defined as "civil legal proceedings in a court between contesting parties". Although the
process has its shortcomings, it should not be phased out as a method of resolving disputes within
the Victorian justice system. However, in a rapidly modernising society, the traditional method of
accessing justice through the courts is not the only option available to disputing parties. In some
situations, it may serve potential litigants well if litigation is discouraged and neighbours persuaded
to compromise wherever they can using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes.
Therefore, there needn't be a binary between litigation and ADR, nor should one be available to
disputants and not the other, because both processes are complementary ... Show more content on

ADR "is an umbrella term for processes, other than judicial determination, in which an impartial
person assists those in a dispute to resolve issues between them," and includes processes such as
mediation, negotiation, evaluation, case appraisal and arbitration. Provided that such processes are
appropriate for the case, ADR processes can provide a range of benefits to potential litigants,
including greater affordability than litigation if an outcome is mutually agreed and adhered to. The
use of ADR is further encouraged in the Civil Dispute Resolution Act 2011 (Vic). This object of this
act is "to ensure that, as far as possible, people take genuine steps to resolve disputes before certain
civil proceedings are instituted". Examples of "genuine steps" taken by the persons involved in the
dispute are outlined in s 4 (1)(d) and includes: "Considering whether the dispute could be resolved
by a process facilitated by another person, including an alternative dispute resolution process". As
such, it is not recommended that litigation be completely ignored as a method of resolving disputes

The Red Hook Justice Center
More importantly, the specific principles that helps to comprise community Courts are based on:
community engagement, Collaboration with outside agencies and groups, Defendant accountability,
and Enhanced information.
As the planners of the Red Hook Justice center's they looked at addressing two primary goals.
Reducing crimes and improving quality of life within the Red Hook neighborhood. By combing
aspects of the broken window theory, such as aiming to deter minor crimes with the involvement of
the community and a drug court like program, that helped to provide supervised drug treatment. The
planners believed that the community court would help to deter future acts of crimes, intervene, and
help to enhance the legitimacy of the justice system.
Deterrence is founded on the assumption that people make rational choices about rather or not they
wish to engage in criminal behavior. Thus, it is believed that one would weigh the gain they expect
to achieve from a particular crime, to the expected cost of punishment. Punishment encompasses the
likelihood of being caught and punished as well as the expected severity of the punishment.
Therefore, in order to effectively deter, planner and criminal justice professionals must look into
three factors: the severity of the punishment, the certainty of punishment, and the celerity with
which the punishment is imposed. However, the severity of the punishment must be proportional to
the benefit the criminal expects to realize from the

The Importance Of Court Hierarchy
A court hierarchy is a made up of lots of different courts, depending on the crime you commit
depends on which court your trailed at. If you kill some one or attempt to you will be sentenced to
trial in the supreme court (that's the second highest court) or if you drink drive you will be sentenced
to the lowest court which is called the lower courts (has no jury). There is also courts for family
issues called the family and federal courts.
The lower courts appealed for Jason's case to be held in the supreme court .Jason Courtney was
sentenced to trial in the supreme for 3 counts: possessing, using to intimidate and discharging an
unlicensed firearm. On the 19th may 2006 in singleton Paul Magyar (witness) was attending a

said "I know how to use this". Another witness Craig Lason who was in the bathroom at the same

Motion to Vacate Sample
CPLR 5015(a) is a frequently invoked provision in New York practice. It lists the principal grounds
on which a judgment or order may be vacated. It provides (verbatim) that "[t]he court which

of any interested person with such notice as the court may direct, upon the ground of: * 1. excusable
default, if such motion is made within one year after service of a copy of the judgment or order with

order, within one year after such entry; or * 2. newly–discovered evidence which, if introduced at
the trial, would probably have produced a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is not an easy paragraph to satisfy. The showing that must be made before the motion will be
granted under this provision is that the evidence is not only "newly–discovered", but that it is
evidence of such quality that it will "probably", not merely "possibly", change the result in the case.
And the movant should also show why, with reasonable diligence, the evidence could not have been
discovered in time for the trial, or at least in time to move for a new trial under CPLR 4404. (The
time for the post–trial motion is tight. See CPLR 4405 and the Commentary on it.)
The newly discovered evidence can't merely be "cumulative", nor "such as would merely impeach
the credibility of an adverse witness". Cizler v. Cizler, 19 A.D.2d 819, 243 N.Y.S.2d 614 (1st Dept.,
1963).
In Cizler, a wrongful death action had been dismissed, before submission to the jury, for failure of
proof. At the time of the trial the plaintiff, despite a diligent search for eyewitnesses to the
automobile accident, could find none. The plaintiff afterwards found such an eyewitness and moved
for a new trial. The court found the requirements of what is now paragraph 2 satisfied and granted
the plaintiff's motion, but with the condition that the plaintiff pay the defendant's costs and
disbursements to date (including appeal costs).
While "generally newly discovered evidence going only to credibility" is not a basis for setting aside
a judgment, it may become so when a

The Facts: A judge out of a New York Family court found 12–year old Winship (Defendant) had
committed an act of stealing money from a pocketbook in a locker that if it had been committed by
an adult it would have been a crime. But due to it being a 12–year old, the judge relying on a
preponderance of the evidence, the standard of proof required by the New York Family Court Act,
led the way of giving good reason that justified the fact that a young person did the crime that he

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a long–standing belief in the criminal law that is almost always
demanded by the court. It is an important tool in reducing the risk of error and applies to both
juveniles as to adults to protect those who are mistaken way charged. Juvenile proceedings may be
believed to be civil proceedings within the state, but they are basically criminal trials because they
can result in a way to deprive an individual's freedom. The purposes of the juvenile justice system
would not be threatened by heightening the standard of proof. Constitutional questions decided by

How to Handle Partner Disputes in Broad Run, VA
Partner disputes in Broad Run, Virginia occur when business partners cannot disagree as to how
their business activities should proceed. For example, perhaps one partner wants to enter a major
deal with another company and the other partner does not. Or, perhaps one partner wants to expand
the business, but the other partner thinks it is too risky. If partner disputes in Broad River, Virginia

If you are a business partner, there are several ways you can prevent a partner dispute from rising to

The Criminal Justice system comprises of three principle parts: (1) law requirement (police, sheriffs,

On November 27, I've decided to go to Family court and observe the way the judge handles things. I

When I first walked into the courtroom, There was three police officers, two secretary sitting next to
the judge and about six lawyers and one translator. During my visit I observed four cases, that all
had to do with child support.One of the cases was a mother arguing with the father because he has
not paid for child support. But the father has recently got out of jail. I wasn't expecting going into
that courtroom and seeing so many people there, not seeing them bring men who were detained
because they have not paid. It was a great experience being there and the judge being so
understanding and nice.
When I first walked into the courthouse, it wa a little weird just because it was my first time being

Analysis Of A Court Of Thorns And Roses
What if you could live in the world of the faeries for all of your human life? "A Court of Thorns and
Roses," by Sarah J Maas, is a gripping fantasy series about family, friendships, and of love. I picked
up this book as a suggestion from mom to pass time and 13 hours later I had a numb bottom and a
finished book in my hands. I was utterly hooked from the first page to the last. It is a compelling
new twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast storyline where the main character makes many
sacrifices for the betterment of her family, friends, and humanity itself. Ultimately falling in love
with the wrong person at the right time and then the right person at an even better time. The
imaginative characters come together to battle through epic trials and to conquer unspeakable odds.
Maas uses her vivid descriptions of beauty, sacrifice and true courage to enthrall the readers making
it impossible to put down. Maas's incorporation of mythology and folklore from our world into her
book allows you to build a personal relationship with the characters and a feeling of comradery. The
BCCB reviews the series as "Elements from 'Beauty and the Beast,' 'East o' the Sun, West o' the
Moon,' the myth of Persephone, and the legend of Tamlin are seamlessly interwoven with clever
allusions, while the faerie world is resplendent in its initial beauty and then horrific in the brutality
Feyre later encounters."

Anthony Ryan who investigated the crime scene (Visitation, 2015).
The adversary system ensures a fair verdict of the case put forward thus, a particular side at no time
has a unfair upper–hand. The effectiveness of the adversary system in achieving justice is
successful, providing a equal course of action with affirmation of the jury witness and defendant

The Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms
Firstly, through my observations of the different courts it was evident the administration of justice is
done in due time, and the process is not expedited without an outstanding reason as it can lead to
misguided verdict. Furthermore, the criminal trial process in our society focuses on equality and
promotes this principle by entitling an accused of even the most heinous crimes to civil liberties and
processes as not to compromise the criminal trial process. A fair trial is an intrinsic right of all
members of society making it fundamental to our being, and is ergo ensured to us all under s.11 of
the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. Provided with other preemptive measures to guarantee
justice is achieved in the criminal trial proceedings. Additionally, the courts help facilitate an
understanding of the legal process as to help the accused and their families be prepared in their
defence. As well as providing an impartial and competent assessment in all stages of the trial
process. Through my observations of all three courts, it was plain that all players present in the
courtroom were there to administer justice and maintain the equity of our society. By providing a
competent and impartial governing body to conduct the trial, but also by doing so: in a timely and

Mediation In Family Court

  • 1. Mediation In Family Court Mediation is a different process to reach a resolution for parties that find themselves in a family court matter. Mediation is a part of the process ran by the courts by individuals that are unbiased and yet knowledgably about family law matters and the law. The courts want couples to give mediation a try before taking the matter before the judge in case some issues can be worked out beforehand. Attorneys are not included in this process. What happens in mediation is all parties will work on the issues at hand as peaceful as possible and in a manner to hopefully reach amicable outcomes, with a third party to help oversee this process and help negotiate their issues. These issues that can be heard in mediation are many and can be a wide variety of needs from the parties. These issues can be negotiation of assets, debts, child and spousal support, and visitation and custody matters of any children involved in the case. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The courts do not want to get involved in matters unless they absolutely have to. Courts require this to give the options to reach these agreements before going to trial because sometimes the parties will walk away with not so great results as if they arranged it themselves. Only these parties know what is best for their kids. The courts would have to make a decision right away on these issues and sometimes a party may not have the desired outcome they were looking for, if a court has to determine the ...

  • 3. Family Dependency Treatment Court (FDTC) This paper will look into family dependency treatment court (FDTC) also known as dependency drug court (DDC). The paper will examine the question: How effective is FDTC/DDC when comparing families with drug and alcohol problems and children in the child welfare system who are enrolled in the FDTC/DDC and those who are not enrolled in the FDTC/DDC? When children are removed from their parents or guardians, the cost of caring for these children becomes the repos scalability of the child welfare system. $24 billion was spent taking care of the children (Somervell, Saylor, and Mao, 2008). From 2002–2007, about 12% of children lived in a home with at least 1% of abusing drugs (SAMSHA 2009). According to Bryan and Havens, women receiving FTDC in ...

According Gifford, Eldred, Vernerey, and Sloan, "Evidence from a prior study suggests that children of adults who enroll in FDTC's spend less time in foster care and experience higher rates of reunification with parents than children not enrolled FDTC's" (p.1660). Another study noted families involved in FDTC significantly had more court reviews and more motion hearings (Bruns, Pullmann, Weathers, Wirschem & Murphy, 2012). In addition to family reunification, the likelihood of children reentering foster care within 12 months of completing FDTC decreased (Chuang, Moore, Barrett, & Young, ...

Through a colorful narrative story the author, Edward Humes, paints of vivid picture of the how dysfunctional the system truly was. The main focus is on the various ways the system has failed many of the juveniles that it is intended to help. Peggy Beckstrand, the Deputy District Attorney, says it best "The first thing you learn about this place, is that nothing works." (No Matter How Loud I Shout, 1996, p.31) The one beacon of hope the juvenile court has is Judge Roosevelt Dorn. Judge Dorn is known in the court systems as one of the toughest judges.

It is the quickest and easiest way to pay for the lifestyle they seek. These children know that their odds of slipping through the cracks of the juvenile system are high. This only fuels their behavior and crime. The case of George Trevino was an exceptional one in which his real family was no longer in the picture, whether they were in prison or dead. He had nowhere else to turn but to foster care, and at an early age. He was fortunate enough to stay with his brother for a few years, which most children are not so lucky. His brother proved to be the worst type of influence, getting him into trouble by running away and joining gangs. The main problem with foster care is that children are often times shuffled around from home to home and have no stability in their lives. That combined with the fact that most children are put into foster care even though they are beyond rehabilitation, this makes them less likely to change once put into the program due to previous family, and gang ties (Vito, 2004, p. 352). By trying juveniles in the adult courts they are forcing them to accept a punishment that does not allow for the nurturing and growth that they need. Putting them in with other adult criminals only makes them more likely to commit severe crimes in the future. Judge Dorn has this ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. Australian Court System Court is one of the more complicated methods for resolving disputes, but is also regarded as one with the highest quality of decision making. It is defined as an official forum where two parties come and present their arguments to a juridical party who administers justice. The Australian court system is hierarchical, where some courts are more important than others and handle different cases depending upon its severity. One of the reasons that courts are a popular option for solving disputes are because cases are handled by legally qualified and experienced professionals. Judges must undergo over 10 years of legal education and training, as well as display integrity and strong ethics before being appointed. Lawyers are also required to undertake strict exams before representing their party in court and assisting with professional advice. The legal advice and setting of a court gives smaller parties a chance to stand against large corporations, like in the 2012 case between the Samaan family and KFC. The victim claimed that their young daughter was left severely brain damaged from salmonella poisoning after consuming KFC and the court ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Family court was established in 1910. The U.S. Family courts' purpose is to provide family services that are specialized for their case and to obtain positive results in family matters. In each state across the country, the state has specific laws involving family issues such as child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, adoption, guardianship, and domestic violence. In the matter of family law, typically one judge presides over the case rather than a judge and jury.

  • 13. Court Case: Family Entering Divorce The purpose of this document is to give fathers a glimpse in to how the UCCJEA operates in actual practice. As a family entering divorce you will likely hear how the court and all involved are very concerned with the well–being of the family and especially as children. As I think you will observe below, this is certainly not what I have encountered. Hopefully your situation will be better, but you need to be prepared as honesty and transparency in the process and most important fairness, at least in my case, has been completely lacking. It is unfortunate that the 'children', the ones who the court professes to be most concerned about, are the ones who are the victims done the most harm by a broken and biased judicial system. Current situation: ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This again I believe is not by chance, by delaying their decision they preclude me from appealing or taking any action. This is not only relevant in terms of appeal, but also precludes me from addressing the child support issue. Nearly one year ago my income was significantly reduced due to a 50% reduction in my income as a university professor. By delaying the adjustment to child support (which can only be done through the court) the ex–wife benefits from a huge financial windfall as child support overpayments will not be adjusted retroactively. Prior to the Georgia's Court involvement both of my daughters were quite close to me as I was really the only parent they knew.

  • 15. High Court Case: Kennon V. Spry Kennon v Spry (2008) 238 CLR 366 Kennon v Spry ("Spry") follows a husband's appeal, by special leave, to the High Court in an endeavour to restore himself as a beneficiary of a non–exhaustive, discretionary trust ("the trust"). The High Court did not agree with the husband and held that he was unable to re–establish his position as a beneficiary. The High Court did however find that the trust assets would be considered property. The decisions reached by the High Court placed a new light in view of family trust and the majority of French CJ, Gummow and Hayne JJ established that family trusts could be considered the property of the parties to a marriage, albeit for different reasons. While reaching a differing conclusion, the reasoning in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One particular criticism of the decision of Spry is the argument against the decision of the majority as demonstrated in Glover's article who states that 'finding that the husband had a beneficial interest in the trust based in his power to appoint the wife and the wife's right to be considered surely means that the dispositive power must be exercised in the wife's favour. Where has the discretion gone? Only through illegal and fraudulent denial of discretions which qualified his positive power could the Spry trustee act consistently with the Chief Justice's findings.' The power vested in Spry is strongly against the purpose of a discretionary trust according to Glover who further states that 'the fact that exercise of the power may result in property (for the power–holder or someone else) does not mean that the power is itself property. Power is a capacity to act and not a thing which one owns. Equity jurisprudence has distinguished between powers and property for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The case involved a divorced couple Darryl Foster and Linda Foster. Linda had an attorney named Charles Brown who was very experienced from the way he addressed the court and asked the proper questions. The court case was filed for temporary orders until a new custody order could be established. Linda got to get on the stand first as she was the one that filed the petition. She spoke of her time dealing with addiction, their divorce, her depression, time she spent in prison for a DUI, and the time spent with her daughter. She presented evidence of character letters, completion of counseling, letter from her sponsor and her boss from work, documents showing her ADOT and judge releasing her driver license. Darryl seemed extremely nervous coming in as his hands were shaking. He was not prepared for court and the attorney gave Darryl his copies of evidence. He often stated that he was not a lawyer and did not know what he was doing. The judge tried comforting him saying "that it was okay and he did not need to be" Darryl stepped on the stand and testified that he had not let Linda see her daughter since 2014 regardless of what the court order said.

Alternative Dispute Resolution Or Adr Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR is used as a blanket term for processes, other than judicial determination in which an impartial practitioner assists stakeholders of a dispute to resolve the issues between them. The ultimate objective being the satisfaction of both parties through a mutually desired and binding outcome. Nevertheless, recent speculation has arisen in the legal spectrum upon whether ADR services are actually prioritising fair, just and equitable outcomes for stakeholders as opposed to litigation in the Family court. In accordance with the Australian Family Law Courts, it is a requirement that parties in disagreement must exercise genuine effort in resolving their issues before applying for a court hearing pursuant ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Moreover, due to voluntary participation, a generally consensual and collaborative environment is fostered. The ensuing reduced hostility aided by the professionalism of a mediator preserves and possibly enhances strained relationships which is an integral interest of the families in dispute. However, the use of these consensual methods do bring about certain noteworthy limitations such as being used as a stalling tactic by either party as well as not operating on a system of precedent. Effectively signifying that two disputes with similar factual circumstances may be treated completely differently and thus inequitably in the eyes of the law. The most alarming issue arises where good faith cannot be compelled, resulting in imbalanced agreements based on unreliable facts. Ultimately, facilitation remains favourable amongst family disputes because agreements are likely to have more secure commitment as decisions are made absent to an intimidating court process and ideally satisfy both parties. The remaining common method of alternative dispute resolution, before litigation through the court system is arbitration. Although, in the general sense it is primarily used for commercial and workplace disputes where a fast and enforceable decision is required , as opposed to family cases.

There was a memo on the seat which police officer sat down, and the memo said 'it is for only reserved jury seats. I remember there was a transcriptionists too, but they just did their work silently. One of the court staff was continuing copying and giving to other people. By looking it, I thought court needs not only litigants, attorney and judges, but also these court staff like transcriptionists. They work at the court, so the court can be continued. I would know there was no jury because the seat for reserved jury in the courtroom was empty. The people in court was various in age or gender. The percentage of female clerk was half of whole people, and age was also various like 30th to 60th. The most interesting thing is I saw female more than male judges. That means, court employ people regardless gender and age. If someone ask a question about 'are race, gender, age, and apparent socio–economic background information about court people is important?'

This covers taking care of the basic needs of a child; food, shelter, warmth and promoting the child to develop mentally, physically and socially so they are able to function as an active member of society. Due to the need to meet the needs of society as a whole, the needs of children can sometimes either be ignored or regarded as a secondary concern. Even though that one day these children will be adults in our society, we do not always put their rights at the forefront for their overall development, education, housing, health and general well–being. Within this essay I will be discussing the rights of a child within family court system. I will be focusing on the lack of determination on the age a child can be seen as criminally responsible, the reduction in rehabilitative ideals for children in conflict, the lack of awareness about the child's rights as a reason for a reason for denying adequate protection for children's rights in the youth justice system. The term children's rights has, over the years, been determined in many different ways dependant on the cultural, social, economic or political rights. With no one clear definition many child rights programmes have been seen counterproductive. Children are dependent on adults to provide a quality of care to meet their basic needs which then in turn determines how they will be in adulthood. Children, as human beings, not only have the ...

  • 33. FPRLC Family Court Case History and background. In 2010, FPRLC experienced a significant spike in business. The increase was so significant that the firm at times would place a freeze on accepting incoming clients. FPRLC represents many clients in counties across Oklahoma. The initial client retainer is generally determined by the jurisdiction of the case and the nature of the case. FPRLC charges an hourly rate of $250 per hour that is billed out of the client's retainer account. The firm is payed for their services as the attorney's work is completed, therefore depleting the client retainer account. When a hearing takes place at a courthouse that is for example, two and one half hours away, the client is billed for the travel time to and from the courthouse. When the courthouse is 150 miles away or approximately two and one half hours away, the client will be billed for that time; therefore, the travel alone roundtrip could cost $1,250. That is a significant amount to take from the client retainer account for travel purposes. With a more conveniently ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The Court of Appeals then vacated Kulbucki's conviction based on the fact that Kulbucki's attorneys did not question the legitimacy of the ballistics evidence, thus the defense attorneys did not provide Kulbucki with effective assistance during the trial. However, the Supreme Court of the United States held, in a per curiam opnion, that the Court of Appeals based the decision to vacate Kulbicki's conviction on contemporary views of ballistic evidence. Since there was no reason for counsel to investigate the validity of the ballistic evidence in 1995, the attorneys provided effective assistance to Kulbicki because effective assistance did not require attorneys to verify the legitimacy of the ballistic evidence (Maryland v.

Waiver– The process by which a juvenile is moved from juvenile court jurisdiction to adult criminal court jurisdiction for an offense committed while still a juvenile. Also known as bind over, certification, remand, and transfer. b. Transfer– Transfer occurs when jurisdiction over a juvenile case is turned over to a criminal court. The waiver or transfer of jurisdiction from juvenile court to criminal court is predicated on the assumption that some juveniles are not appropriate for processing in juvenile court and can be more effectively dealt with by criminal courts. 2. What is judicial waiver, and how does it compare with legislative waiver and prosecutorial waiver? A Judicial Waiver is a type of waiver selected by a juvenile court at a hearing. It is the traditional type of waiver. Legislative Waiver, and Prosecutorial Waiver, is not selected by the Juvenile Court at the hearing. In most states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, and New York are exceptions), juveniles can be transferred to an adult criminal court by means of a separate waiver or transfer hearing in the juvenile court to determine the appropriateness of the waiver. This method of waiver, which can be called judicial waiver, is the traditional method by which juvenile cases have been transferred to criminal courts.

Legislative Bill 180: Case Study Summary Legislative Bill 180 (LB180) allows for the use of Bridge Orders between Juvenile and District courts to address custody between custodial and non–custodial parents. Specifically, when the custodial parent has been deemed unsafe and the non–custodial parent needs to obtain full custody. Another scenario includes when the parents separate during the juvenile court process and one parent has been rehabilitated and the other has not, requiring a custody order to ensure the safety of the child(ren). This White Paper supports passing LB 180. The intended audience of this White Paper is the Nebraska Legislature Judiciary Committee. Background In 2014 the Barriers to Permanency Project conducted a case analysis of 455 children that had been in out of home care for 36 months or longer.

  • 49. The Trial By Franz Kafka The Trial by Franz Kafka, an incomplete novel chalked full of questions and confusion – leading readers to ask questions such as "why does the court function how it does?" and "what the heck is K. being arrested for again?" Although Kafka predicates the novel on these two ideas, the court and Josef K., never do readers explicitly gain a comprehensive or satisfactory understanding of the pair. In light of the fact that The Trial is an incomplete novel, Kafka intentionally leaves the function of the court and K.'s true character up for question. Kafka accomplishes this by never giving a true name to either the court or Josef K., keeping the upper levels of the court a secret, and in Josef K.'s transition from successful banker to complete obsession with the court. Luckily, Kafka offers a trail of breadcrumbs that enables his readers to begin answering some of the questions presented in this book. This essay illuminates these "breadcrumb" moments scattered throughout the novel to reveal the true relationship between the court and its subjects. Furthermore, this essay asserts that the court was in fact correct in its conviction of Josef K. as evidenced in the last chapter of this novel. In this novel, Kafka writes about a court system unlike anything seen today. Although Kafka never gives an explicit description of the court, readers can gain a firm understanding of how the court functions via proper close reading and synthesis of the novels many parts.

Although the process has its shortcomings, it should not be phased out as a method of resolving disputes within the Victorian justice system. However, in a rapidly modernising society, the traditional method of accessing justice through the courts is not the only option available to disputing parties. In some situations, it may serve potential litigants well if litigation is discouraged and neighbours persuaded to compromise wherever they can using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes. Therefore, there needn't be a binary between litigation and ADR, nor should one be available to disputants and not the other, because both processes are complementary ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... ADR "is an umbrella term for processes, other than judicial determination, in which an impartial person assists those in a dispute to resolve issues between them," and includes processes such as mediation, negotiation, evaluation, case appraisal and arbitration. Provided that such processes are appropriate for the case, ADR processes can provide a range of benefits to potential litigants, including greater affordability than litigation if an outcome is mutually agreed and adhered to. The use of ADR is further encouraged in the Civil Dispute Resolution Act 2011 (Vic). This object of this act is "to ensure that, as far as possible, people take genuine steps to resolve disputes before certain civil proceedings are instituted". Examples of "genuine steps" taken by the persons involved in the dispute are outlined in s 4 (1)(d) and includes: "Considering whether the dispute could be resolved by a process facilitated by another person, including an alternative dispute resolution process".

Deterrence is founded on the assumption that people make rational choices about rather or not they wish to engage in criminal behavior. Thus, it is believed that one would weigh the gain they expect to achieve from a particular crime, to the expected cost of punishment. Punishment encompasses the likelihood of being caught and punished as well as the expected severity of the punishment. Therefore, in order to effectively deter, planner and criminal justice professionals must look into three factors: the severity of the punishment, the certainty of punishment, and the celerity with which the punishment is imposed.

Provide both positive and negative aspects of the job and explain why you would/would not want to serve as a judge in the New Hampshire courts. The courts seem very interesting. Judging the innocence of citizens is a very interesting role in society. The judge holds a lot of power in a society and can make life altering decisions for people everyday. The judges interviewed seemed very serious and painted a very serious picture of what happens in a court of law. How the judge has to be well informed both on the case and current and past laws. This is all very interesting to me and would be a great way to develop a personal definition of justice. A downside to this is all that hard work it takes but a lot of that hard work is returned when you make the right decision on a case where someone is being unjust and breaking the law. Another downside is making decisions in tough cases where helping someone might mean sending another person to jail for life. I would like to work in this field if given the option but I think it would require a lot of hard work and dedication to be a judge in a lower or higher court anywhere in the ...

  • 71. My Reflection Of A Trip To The Family Court On November 27, I've decided to go to Family court and observe the way the judge handles things. I believe it was going to be a good opportunity to see how the laws work and favor the children. When I first walked into the courtroom, There was three police officers, two secretary sitting next to the judge and about six lawyers and one translator. During my visit I observed four cases, that all had to do with child support.One of the cases was a mother arguing with the father because he has not paid for child support. But the father has recently got out of jail. I wasn't expecting going into that courtroom and seeing so many people there, not seeing them bring men who were detained because they have not paid. It was a great experience being there and the judge being so understanding and nice. When I first walked into the courthouse, it wa a little weird just because it was my first time being there. As I walked into the courtroom I thought that I was going to be told to get out, just because when I walked in everyone was looking at me.Once I sat down I started to observed everyone and everything around me. I observed the way the judge interacted with the people there, and how the staff interacted with the judge. I did not expect seeing so many people in the courtroom, and did not expect to see so many files. Another thing that surprised me was when the police officers brought out people they had detained. I was not expecting to see that, in my head I was expecting to see ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

"A Court of Thorns and Roses," by Sarah J Maas, is a gripping fantasy series about family, friendships, and of love. I picked up this book as a suggestion from mom to pass time and 13 hours later I had a numb bottom and a finished book in my hands. I was utterly hooked from the first page to the last. It is a compelling new twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast storyline where the main character makes many sacrifices for the betterment of her family, friends, and humanity itself. Ultimately falling in love with the wrong person at the right time and then the right person at an even better time. The imaginative characters come together to battle through epic trials and to conquer unspeakable odds. Maas uses her vivid descriptions of beauty, sacrifice and true courage to enthrall the readers making it impossible to put down. Maas's incorporation of mythology and folklore from our world into her book allows you to build a personal relationship with the characters and a feeling of comradery. The BCCB reviews the series as "Elements from 'Beauty and the Beast,' 'East o' the Sun, West o' the Moon,' the myth of Persephone, and the legend of Tamlin are seamlessly interwoven with clever allusions, while the faerie world is resplendent in its initial beauty and then horrific in the brutality Feyre later encounters." In A Court of Thorns and Roses series, the first book, which is also called A Court of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 77. The Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms Firstly, through my observations of the different courts it was evident the administration of justice is done in due time, and the process is not expedited without an outstanding reason as it can lead to misguided verdict. Furthermore, the criminal trial process in our society focuses on equality and promotes this principle by entitling an accused of even the most heinous crimes to civil liberties and processes as not to compromise the criminal trial process. A fair trial is an intrinsic right of all members of society making it fundamental to our being, and is ergo ensured to us all under s.11 of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. Provided with other preemptive measures to guarantee justice is achieved in the criminal trial proceedings. Additionally, the courts help facilitate an understanding of the legal process as to help the accused and their families be prepared in their defence. As well as providing an impartial and competent assessment in all stages of the trial process. Through my observations of all three courts, it was plain that all players present in the courtroom were there to administer justice and maintain the equity of our society. By providing a competent and impartial governing body to conduct the trial, but also by doing so: in a timely and thorough manner, while protecting the accused's inherent rights, and by educating those partaking in the process as well as making educated decisions themselves.
