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.

One of the constitutional obligations of states is the defence of human rights. Such state activities encompass providing free pre-litigation legal aid. In search for solutions allowing to improve Polish model, the authors employed a comparative method. 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.

Child abuse is defined as any action that hurts a child. It can occur in a variety of ways such as emotional, physical and sexual abuse as well as exploitation and neglect. The abuser is frequently someone the child knows. It could be a relative, parent, a close family friend or caregiver. However, children are sometimes also abused by other adults on whom they are dependent such as day care workers, sports trainers and teachers. Child abuse assessment is performed to either assess claims of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect in order to aid in legal decision making. The long-term impacts of child abuse can be lessened with proper mental and physical health care. This book presents the complex subject of child abuse in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.

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.

In this work, peer-reviewed by a diverse and international team of practicing and licensed attorneys, I deal with the community reentry of young people of African-American origin who have experienced incarceration and are navigating sociophysiological challenges. In particular, I address some of the challenges that these youth have faced -by investigating an array of issues relating to their transitioning from youth correctional facilities back to general society. As a first step, I provide background information. As a second step, I accentuate transitional barriers, while offering systems-level solutions. As a third and final step, I argue in favor of select legal reforms. In writing this peer-reviewed book, I drew on information gathered through evidence-based research, case studies, and anecdotes stemming from my lived experiences working at an advocacy organization and mentoring African-American youth.

As the world faces a plethora of turmoil from conflicts, civil war, and other calamities, causing people to flee for their lives, the homeless and vulnerable persons from Syria, Libya, Palestine and many sub-Saharan African countries seek a haven for their survival. Migrant minors separated from their immediate family members during these perilous journeys are susceptible to danger, are at risk of child trafficking, and are faced with immigration restrictions at the border of every country they run into. Thus, Italy's new legislation, The Zampa Law for 'Provision of Protection Measures', is a boon to the children fleeing for their lives without being accompanied by any family or guardian into Italy. The author analyses the gap that the new Italian Zampa Law filled, the challenges in applying the new law and other aspects of the Italian immigration system related to unaccompanied migrant minors.

DeScriPtionThe past decade has seen an insidious and unforgiving position take root on thepurpose of juvenile justice in India, seen as it is-especially in the aftermath ofthe Nirbhaya case in 2012-as an instrument of punishment and not of reform.The desire to make the law retributive and not compassionate stems from whatone of the authors calls 'the blindness of privilege'. This book offers a muchneeded critique of such a skewed understanding of the law, pulling us out of ourcomfort zone, and confronting us with the grim reality of India's juvenile justicesystem.The authors write from long years of experience of working with 'Children inConflict with Law', or CICL, as the Juvenile Justice Act terms offending minors.In the first part of the book, noted child rights activist Enakshi Ganguly discussesnot only the history and evolution of the law in India-from the colonial periodto the present-but also its pitfalls and the often overwhelming problems indealing with the system. The second part of the book contains two poignantfirst-person accounts of working among the CICL by Kalpana Purushothaman,a trained psychologist and a member of a Juvenile Justice Board in Karnataka,and Puneeta Roy, who translates her skills in expressive arts into offering toolsto interned children for self-empowerment and healing. The personal anecdotesand case studies they share, and the sheer resilience of their optimism, challengethe deeply biased assumptions that prevent us from seeing the child behind theoffender and which perpetuate injustice against this most vulnerable of groups.

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.
