Juridisk kompetence: advokater

Mads Pramming er – med egne ord – Danmarks nok mest tabende advokat. Han tager sagerne, som andre advokater for alt i verden vil undgå, fordi de er tidskrævende og besværlige, og fordi succesraten er lav. Men han kan ikke lade være, drevet som han er af en god portion social indignation og en utæmmelig nysgerrighed efter at flytte juraens hegnspæle. Og når han vinder, rydder det forsider og får betydning for masser af hårdtprøvede mennesker.Mads Pramming igennem årene ført en stribe højtprofilerede sager, der har givet genlyd både i jurakredse og i medierne. Han har blandt andet ført sager mod myndighederne på vegne af:• Drengene fra børnehjemmet Godhavn• Flere hundrede danske krigsveteraner• De grønlandske eksperimentbørn• De forældreløse søstre Sapran, Nanna og Amal, som kommunen anbragte i familiepleje hos en pædofil• De mange syge borgere, der kan fremlægge læge­erklæringer på, at de ikke har nogen arbejdsevne, men alligevel tvinges i aktiveringSom advokat kæmper Mads Pramming utrætteligt for at afprøve lovgivningens grænser og for at sikre retfærdighed for en stribe udsatte borgere, som har fået deres helt rimelige krav tilsidesat af myndighederne. Dette er fortællingen om en utraditionel advokat og en række af de svære sager, han har ført – og som har været med til at gøre det danske retssystem en lille smule mere retfærdigt.

As a result, they analysed solutions adopted in international law, Sweden, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.Swedish law is an example of a system with a rich legislative history in the area of free legal aid and contemporary solutions based on the model of legal aid with a ¿discount¿. The choice of Ukraine was based on the fact that its regulations are very modern, elastic and put to the ultimate test of war. The United Kingdom was chosen as an example of a country with a common law system, where pre-litigation-free legal aid has its unique form based on grant financing.In the summary of the book, the authors strive for presenting the proposal of a model of free pre-litigation legal aid for the polish legal system based on the experience of compared legal systems.

Viljen & Vejen er en dokumentarisk fortælling om værdier, visioner og familiære bånd fortalt gennem det esbjergensiske advokatfirma Kirk Larsen & Ascanius.Virksomheden har siden grundlæggelsen i 1973 spillet en stor rolle for lokalområdet – i begyndelsen som juridiske forkæmpere for især fiskernes rettigheder, men i takt med at byen og verdensøkonomien ændrede sig, kom flere områder til. Bogen giver således også et indblik i samfundsudviklingen fra 1970’erne og frem til i dag.Historien er fyldt med stærke personligheder og går tæt på konkrete sager, hvor fiskerne kommer i klemme, sideløbende med at man følger Kirk Larsen & Ascanius’ voksende rolle og indflydelse i byen.Lars Bo Kirk har tidligere skrevet De sidste fiskere om fiskeriet i Esbjerg og Blåt blod i årerne om virksomheden Blue Water Shipping. Viljen & Vejen er dermed hans tredje bog om Esbjergs særlige erhvervshistorie. Den er skabt i samarbejde med Kirk Larsen & Ascanius i forbindelse med virksomhedens 50-års jubilæum.

Analyzing sex-offense laws and false claims, this book shows that laws based on vengeance rather than justice or evidence create new forms of harm while failing to address the real and pervasive problem of sexual violence.In this timely and extensively researched book, sociologist Emily Horowitz shows how current sex-offense policies in the United States create new forms of harm and prevent those who have caused harm from the process of constructive repentance or contributing to society after punishment. Horowitz also illustrates the failure of criminal justice responses to social problems. Sharing detailed narratives from the experiences of those on registries and their loved ones, Horowitz reveals the social impact and cycle of violence that results from dehumanizing and banishing those who have already been held accountable.From Rage to Reason offers a new perspective on how and why false claims about sex offenses became so pervasive and how these myths fostered ineffective policies that have little to do with the reality of most sexual abuse. It argues that to truly prevent sexual abuse, we must unearth the sources of these misunderstandings, debunk these claims in a systematic way, and have frank and genuine discussions about the limits of legal responses to complex social problems.

A poorly trained, seventy-five-year-old driver illegally parked his big-rig tractor-trailer on the side of the highway. On a pitch black November morning, a family SUV slammed into and under the rear of the parked truck. The father/driver and one son, sitting behind him, were killed on impact. Two other young children exited through a rear window.The mother was trapped in the front passenger seat, and a fire began under the hood of the car. The two surviving children alternately tried to extricate their mother and tried to flag down passing vehicles. Their mother was slowly incinerated as she called her son to help her.The defendant trucking company refused to pay the paltry One Million Dollar policy, forcing a trial. Attorney Brian Brandt took on the case.Brandt went to trial, representing Kylie, the nine-year-old sole survivor, as well as the interests of Blaine, the other original survivor. The jury awarded One-Hundred-Forty Million Dollars, plus interest and costs. It was and remains the largest wrongful-death verdict amount in the history of California. The case was not over, however, as the trial judge made a stunning decision, leaving much more to be told.

The removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families gained national attention in Australia following the Bringing Them Home Report in 1997. However, the voices of Indigenous parents were largely missing from the Report. The Inquiry attributed their lack of testimony to the impact of trauma and the silencing impact of parents' overwhelming sense of guilt and despair; a submission by Link-Up NSW commented on Aboriginal mothers being ';unwilling and unable to speak about the immense pain, grief and anguish that losing their children had caused them.'This book explores what happened to Aboriginal mothers who had children removed and why they have overwhelmingly remained silent about their experiences. Identifying the structural barriers to Aboriginal mothering in the Stolen Generations era, the author examines how contemporary laws, policies and practices increased the likelihood of Aboriginal child removal and argues that negative perceptions of Aboriginal mothering underpinned removal processes, with tragic consequences. This book makes an important contribution to understanding the history of the Stolen Generations and highlights the importance of designing inclusive truth-telling processes that enable a diversity of perspectives to be shared.

Kelsey was a bubbly ray of sunshine. It is impossible to comprehend how anyone could harm a child, much less have something happen when so many were watching so closely. The lesson from Kelseys death is not only a cry to stop child abuse, but a reminder to cherish the little ones in our lives, and a warning to those embroiled in custody battles to take the focus off themselves and put it where it belongs, on the innocent children who did not ask to be a pawn in someones game.
