Painful injustices : clinical legal education and the pedagogy of suffering

Buhler, Sarah Marie 29 March 2011
In this thesis, I argue that clinical law teaching requires a theoretical analysis and pedagogical framework to address law students encounters with social suffering in clinical law contexts. A critical pedagogy of suffering, I argue, would take at its starting point an acknowledgement of the importance of the law student-client encounter as a deeply important pedagogical site - a place where certain views about lawyering, law, and justice are played out, and therefore a place that ought to be the subject of close attention by clinical law scholars and teachers. I argue that a critical pedagogy of suffering would focus specifically on the presence of human suffering in many of these encounters. Such a pedagogy would seek to distill the ways in which larger social and systemic forces produce and distribute social suffering, and how the dominant legal gaze and dominant legal practice are too often incapable of assessing or responding to these forces. It would also work to challenge notions that emotions and suffering are apolitical and unrelated to progressive legal practice, and to build a conception that engaged, critical witnessing of social suffering by lawyers and law students might lead to passionate and thoughtful lawyering for social justice in clinical law settings.

Lin, Yu-wen 17 July 2005 (has links)
The right of existence in the Constitution and the living support to request right in Public Assistance Act ensure the right to minimum of subsistence. But the right of existence in the Constitution ensures individual right, Public Assistance Act ensures family. It is specifically feasible to discuss that the living support to request right in Public Assistance Act is enacted to care for the people of low incomes and help them to live on themselves in a moment. This paper studies regulations of Public Assistance primarily. Therefore the research project of this paper includes¡GThe living supports to request right, administrative organ¡¦s organization, the regulations of behavior do conform to legally the administrative requirement. Second, the administrative relief, the judicial relief and Legal Aids Act forming a complete set. Third, by the principle of equity examines regulations of Public Assistance, that whether it is to be suitable ¡§the substantive equality under law¡¨. To be brief, this paper anticipates constructing more rational regulations of poverty.

Understanding Refugee Stories: Lawyers, Interpreters, and Refugee Claims in Canada

Acton, Tess 28 May 2015 (has links)
The interpreter is overlooked when considering the refugee claim process in Canada, even though refugee lawyers most often work with interpreters to understand their clients. Through qualitative interviews with refugee lawyers, this thesis aims to better understand how interpreters affect the lawyer-client dynamic. Tension surrounding the appropriate role of the interpreter, the complexity of communicating through interpreters, and interpreters’ effects on lawyer-client relationships emerged as themes and are explored with reference to the existing interpretation studies literature. The author proposes that an updated lawyer-interpreter-client relationships framework is necessary to fully encompass the realities of these complex relationships, and offers suggestions for best practices to ensure lawyers, interpreters, and clients maintain productive relationships. / Graduate / 0398 / actontess@gmail.com

Legal Design / Legal Design

Kuk, Michal January 2019 (has links)
- j - Legal Design Abstract Legal world found itself in a situation when it is forced by rising demand and new tech- nologies to seek new ways to practice law. It is not sufficient anymore to simply provide bare legal services without acknowledging context and users' actual needs. Some degree of automatization and cost cutting of basic legal work has found its way into the legal practice. In accordance with trends about transparency and publicity of state administration, raises also demand to make law more affordable. Legal world was able to resist changes for a long time due to the lawyers' lack of motivation to do so and clients' ignorance of possibilities base on their lack of legal understanding. However, the situation is starting to change as can be seen on rising numbers of legal innovation start-ups. There are many possible solutions to these new challenges, and one of them is Legal De- sign. This discipline tries to implement design methodology into legal services with the goal of creating valuable innovations. Fundamental is human or user-centered approach in order to provide solutions that better suites them. For example, it aims to develop contract from ex post problem solving tool, into relationship building tool. Also for judicial system to not only decide disputes, but also strengthen sense of...

Informacinių technologijų taikymas teisnėje praktikoje / The application of information technology in legal practice

Laukytė, Miglė 18 May 2005 (has links)
Šiame darbe yra nagrinėjamas informacinių technologijų taikymas teisinėje praktikoje trimis kryptimis: 1) informacinės technologijos, kurios gali būti naudojamos kasdieniame teisiniame darbe, pradedant informacijos paieška, elektroninių notaro paslaugų diegimo galimybėmis bei baigiant komandiniu teisiniu darbu, kurį skatina šiuolaikinės informacinės technologijos; 2) informacinės technologijos, kurios yra naudojamos teisinių institucijų veikloje, konkrečiai aptariamos tos technologijos, kurias naudoja teismai ir valstybės registrai. Teismuose naudojamos informacinės technologijos analizuojamos tiek per Europos Sąjungos elektroninio teisingumo erdvės kūrimo iniciatyvą, tiek per Lietuvoje vykdomą teismų kompiuterizavimo projektą (LITEKO). Lietuvos registrų sistema taip pat aktyviai kuria savo informacines sistemas, kurių kokybė jau yra įvertinta ir tarptautiniu mastu. 3) informacinės technologijos, kurios įgalina teikti elektronines teisines paslaugas privatiems asmenims, aptariant tiek Lietuvos iniciatyvas šioje srityje (Teisingumo ministerija ir tinklas “Skynet”), tiek užsienio valstybių (Australijos “LawMail”). / The author analyses the application of information technology in legal practice through three dimensions: 1. information technologies applied by the lawyer in his everyday work: starting with the search of the legal information, the possibilities of installation of the electronic notary services and finishing with legal group work, supported by information technologies; 2. information technologies applied in the activities of the legal institutions, concretely discussing these technologies, which are being used by the court system and the state register system. The technologies used in the court system is being discussed through the initiative of the establishment of the electronic justice space in the European Union, and also through Lithuanian court computerization project (LITEKO). Lithuanian state registers system as well is actively establishing it own information systems, the quality of which was evaluated in the international level; 3. information technologies applied in order to supply electronic legal services to the private persons, discussing Lithuanian initiatives in this field (the ministry of Justice and the net “Skynet”) and the practice of foreign countries (Australian “LawMail” project).

Nicolas Bohier (1469-1539) and the ius commune : a study in sixteenth-century French legal practice

Hepburn, Jasmin Kira Rennie January 2016 (has links)
European legal history, as a field of scientific enquiry, is a relatively young discipline that can trace its roots back to the German jurist Savigny, whose work on the jurists of the medieval ius commune is commonly seen as the first of its kind. As one of the foremost German scholars of the nineteenth century and a fierce opponent of German codification, Savigny laid the foundation for generations of subsequent historians, not only in terms of the scope, but also in terms of the method of enquiry. Thus, in the generations after Savigny, European legal history tended to be approached in terms of general narratives charting the development of the European legal order through successive historical epochs. Within these narratives, jurists played a prominent role. Thus, the creation of the legal order of Europe was based upon a translatio studii from the Roman jurists via the medieval ius commune to civil codes of the nineteenth century. By grouping jurists into “schools” or “movements”, modern commentators, so it was argued, were able to assess the impact of these on the narrative of European legal history. Although, since the end of the Second World War, this narrative has become more nuanced, the jurists remain central to it. This has had a number of consequences. The main consequence of this focus on jurists (mostly academic figures teaching at universities) has been the marginalisation of legal practice and legal practitioners in the narrative of European legal history. And yet, as recent research on the rise of central courts in Europe has shown, legal practice clearly had an impact on the development of the European legal order. In light of these insights, this thesis seeks to contribute to the narrative of European legal history by focusing not on the works of academic jurists, but on the activities of legal practitioners. This statement requires delimitation. Rather than focusing on a number of legal practitioners over a long period of time, this thesis will focus on a single legal practitioner who flourished during a specific period in European history using the principles of a microhistory. The individual in question is the French lawyer Nicolas Bohier (1469-1539). The reasons for this specific focus are twofold. First, a focus on a specific individual and his works allows for greater scrutiny in depth, thus providing a counterbalance to (and also a means of testing and verifying) the broad sweep accounts found in most works on European legal history. In second place, Nicolas Bohier and his oeuvre cry out for a critical analysis and, until now, remain largely unstudied. As a practising lawyer and eventually president of the regional court of Bordeaux, Bohier was at the coalface of French legal practice in the sixteenth century. As a prolific writer and editor, Bohier left a rich corpus of work consisting of records of decisions of the court in Bordeaux, legal opinions as well as customs of the region. Furthermore, sixteenth-century France is a particularly exciting topic of investigation. This period not only saw the rise and solidification of Royal authority, but also saw the beginning of the homologation of customary law in France. On an intellectual level, the sixteenth century saw the rise of “legal humanism”, a particularly controversial intellectual movement in the context of European legal history as shown by recent research. This then brings us to the central point of this thesis. If, during the sixteenth century, the medieval ius commune was being replaced by “national” legal orders across Europe, as the general surveys of European legal history state, the works of a legal practitioner would show it much more clearly than the works of academic jurists. This thesis will therefore examine Bohier’s use of the term ius commune across his works to assess not only his understanding of the term, but also to assess how this concept operated in relation to other “sources of law”, for example statute and custom. Although the results of a microhistory study should not be generalised too far, it will permit us to interrogate the general narratives of European legal history of the early modern period.
