The anecdotal literature suggests that the process of legal education impairs the maintenance of emotional well being in law students. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a cross-sequential research design to determine the effects of the law school process. Data was collected, using four standardized self-report instruments (Brief Symptom Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist, and Hassle Scale), on subjects prior to and during law school, and after graduation. Prior to law school, subjects expressed similar psychopathological symptom responses as compared with the normal population. Yet during law school and after graduation symptom levels were significantly elevated. The implications of these results are presented.

This study has two purposes: first, to test the validity of the personal attribute model in explaining judicial voting behavior outside its original cultural context; second, to explain the variation in justice's voting behavior in the Canadian Supreme Court. For the most part, the result arrived in this study supports the validity of the model in cross-cultural analysis. The result of multiple regression analysis shows that four variables, region, judicial experience prior to appointment, political party of appointing Prime Minister, and tenure account for 60 percent of the variations in justice's voting behavior. This result, hence, provides an empirical finding to the development of the personal attribute model in explaining justices' voting behavior.

Today, there is a continued debate about its role in cases of child sexual abuse. At this time of reorganization of the professional field, to define and enhance interdisciplinary work, especially in the relationship between psychology and the law, will possibly provoke, amid the juridical environment, transformations in the actions and representations related to child protection.The role of the psychologist enters the debate in regards to the special testimony for listening to a child's legal situation. This puts him in the role of facilitator of dialogue between the judge and the victim in a method of inquiry. Thus, the interdisciplinary learning is impaired because the psychologist has their scientific knowledge devalued. Also, the techniques that guide their work are subject to the procedures and purposes of the law. Faced with this impasse, this research aims to analyze and discuss the representation of the judges and judges of the high court as to the role of psychologists in the final judgment in cases of childhood sexual violence. The theoretical referential that underlies the reflections and analysis is the Social Representations Theory, focusing on the relationship between psychology and the law, exposed in the text of judicial decisions. Using the methodology of documentary analysis, 27 judgments were selected relating to sexual offenses against children, which present similar criterions regarding the use of the psychological report on the decision. This work shows that the assertive and explanatory psychological opinion offers foundations for the judge‟s representation and judges of the...

No. of bitstreams: 1 Laudemir Alves.pdf: 1210451 bytes, checksum: 116e35693fa919bc8b665be1962cfa0c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-12-09 / This search was conducted from the historical-cultural perspective, valuing the descriptive aspects and personal perceptions of 10 students of law, focusing on the individual as part of the social totality, seeking to understand how to conceive: concrete situations of social inequality, and the criminalization of social movements. We sought to understand whether students prepare future projects of action for reducing social inequality. The study was conducted at a particular university in a little city of Sao Paulo. This study was grounded theory based on three pillars: a) an analysis of the conditions of life under capitalism, b) a discussion on the role of education in capitalist society influencing law degree, and c) from the intersection of psychology and law aimed to understand: social inequality and social movements. The historical materialism dialectical was used as methodological perspective in qualitative research. Were structured as material for analysis in this study: 2 Instrument Information Search (IIS), containing identification data and socio-demographic data, as well as written answers for each participant, produced from two texts of popular movements. Were performed two Focal Groups meetings. The considerations, reflections and notes on the information obtained, were produced from a dialectical analysis as a way to understand the conflicts between individuals and society, resulting summaries, the researcher developed from an interpretative analysis of the contradictions expressed in texts written by participants. As this study indicated the main considerations: I) need to broaden the discussion about what are the social movements and their forms of collective expression in daily life; II) the importance of more research that seeks to understand the characteristics of law students, their specificities, and their cultural universe, and III) the need to develop a linked network between psychology and law, which favors original practices with creativity, flexibility and methodological foundation to integrate the knowledge of both areas, to enable a mode of action against social inequalities. / Essa pesquisa foi realizada a partir da perspectiva hist?rico-cultural, valorizando os aspectos descritivos e as percep??es pessoais de 10 universit?rios de Direito, focando o particular como parte da totalidade social, procurando compreender como concebem: situa??es concretas de desigualdade social; a import?ncia ou n?o e a criminaliza??o dos movimentos sociais. Buscou-se entender se os universit?rios elaboram ou n?o projetos futuros de atua??o para redu??o da desigualdade social. O estudo foi realizado em uma institui??o universit?ria particular do interior de S?o Paulo. Esse estudo foi fundamentado teoricamente a partir de tr?s eixos: a) uma an?lise das condi??es de vida no capitalismo; b) uma discuss?o sobre o papel da educa??o na sociedade capitalista influenciando a forma??o em direito; e c) a partir da intersec??o entre psicologia e direito, buscou-se entender: desigualdades sociais e movimentos sociais. O materialismo hist?rico dial?tico foi utilizado como referencial metodol?gico em uma perspectiva qualitativa de pesquisa. Foram estruturados como material para an?lise nessa pesquisa: 2 Instrumentos de Busca de Informa??o (IBI), contendo dados de identifica??o e dados s?cio-demogr?ficos; bem como, respostas escritas por cada um dos participantes, produzidas a partir de dois textos relativos a movimentos populares. Foram realizados para tanto 2 encontros Grupo Focal. As considera??es, reflex?es e apontamentos sobre as informa??es obtidas, foram produzidos a partir de uma an?lise dial?tica, como forma de perceber os contrastes existentes entre os sujeitos e a sociedade; resultando s?nteses, que o pesquisador desenvolveu a partir de uma an?lise interpretativa das contradi??es expressas nos textos escritos pelos participantes. Como principais considera??es esse estudo apontou: I) necessidade de se ampliar ? discuss?o sobre o que sejam os movimentos sociais e suas formas de express?o coletiva no cotidiano; II) a relev?ncia de mais pesquisas que busquem a compreens?o das caracter?sticas dos estudantes de direito, suas especificidades, e seu universo cultural; e III) a necessidade da constru??o de uma rede articulada entre psicologia e direito, que favore?a pr?ticas originais com criatividade, flexibilidade e fundamenta??o metodol?gica que integrem os conhecimentos das duas ?reas, a fim de possibilitar um modo de atua??o frente ?s desigualdades sociais.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Ninety-eight empirical effects examining the impact of pretrial publicity (PTP) on perceptions of guilt were meta-analytically analyzed. As hypothesized, results suggested that anti-defendant PTP was associated with increased perceptions of defendant guilt, whereas pro-defendant PTP was associated with decreased perceptions of defendant guilt. Additionally, several moderator variables were examined. The results suggested that the size of the effect of PTP is dependent upon several variables, including the level of the analysis (jury-level vs. juror level), the type of crime involved in the case, the nature of the information provided to the participants in the control condition, the reality of the case used in the study, the delay between PTP exposure and the collection of the verdict preference, the medium of the PTP presentation, the publication status of the data source, and the outcome measure utilized.
