Taylor & Francis Ltd The Child As Vulnerable Patient Protection and
Book SynopsisHow can medical law and ethics take forward the issue of children''s empowerment and protection? What are the key factors in considering the balance between protecting the welfare of the young and allowing them rights to autonomy? The Child as Vulnerable Patient investigates the role that a human rights approach can play in establishing the parameters of autonomy and discusses the opportunities presented in the Human Rights Act, the European Convention on the Rights of the Child and new policy initiatives in the NHS. A valuable addition to existing literature in this area, this volume will be of interest to lawyers, health professionals and students of medical law.Trade Review'The Child as Vulnerable Patient makes a clear and thoughtful argument for empowerment of children as decision-makers in the context of health care and health policy. A valuable addition to the literature in this area, this book will be of interest to lawyers, health professionals and bioethicists.' Belinda Bennett, University of Sydney, Australia 'Hagger provides a sustained argument in favour of according greater weight to young people's autonomy in the health care context and a compelling defence of a human rights framework as the best way to achieve this. Her carefully nuanced approach and close attention to the realities of medical practice should ensure that her book is swiftly established as essential reading for anyone involved in paediatric medicine, as well as a useful resource for health care lawyers and ethicists.' Sally Sheldon, Kent University Law School, UK 'Lynn Hagger makes a carefully argued, up-to-date case for basing decisions in children's and young people's health care much more firmly in the 1998 Human Rights Act and the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Her book summarises and comments on a wealth of relevant law and controversial debates, and ranges from children's individual decisions to their potential greater involvement in health services planning.' Priscilla Alderson, University of London, UK 'In this timely book, Lynn Hagger argues persuasively that a community committed to human rights should strive to respect the health care choices of autonomous children. Whether in clinical or research settings, the trajectory of the law should be to protect children who say "no" while, at the same time, empowering those who want to say "yes".' Roger Brownsword, King's College London, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface; The importance of protecting and empowering children; The law and children's autonomy; Parental responsibility and children's medical treatment; Confidentiality and children; Genetic testing and counselling: the paradigm case for family medicine?; Negligence and complaints; Children in research; Children's participation and foundation trust: some new opportunities?; Concluding remarks; Index.

Ohio University Press The Lawyer Myth A Defense of the American Legal
Book SynopsisConfronts the hypocrisy of critics from both the right and the left who attempt to exploit popular misperceptions about lawyers and judges to further their own social and political agendas.Trade Review"An enlightening, convincing refutation of the myriad myths and misconceptions about lawyers and the legal system ... highly readable and well--reasoned." -- The Oklahoma Observer "Let's hear it for lawyers! No? Well, after reading this book, there may be more people willing to cheer. Strickland and Read were fed up with lawyers being blamed for the ills of society and the butt of jokes. In clear language, they explain just what lawyers do and why we need them. Anyone who has ever been caught in a legal tangle has reason to be grateful for a caring attorney. The authors also cover some of the myths about lawyers such as the woman who got a fortune because McDonald's made the coffee too hot and others." -- Book News, Inc. "Anyone thinking of going to law school must read this compelling book by two legal educators who have trained generations of lawyers. Professors Strickland and Read go behind the sensational cases that dominate headlines to explain why the myths about lawyers underestimate their important role in sustaining the rule of law." -- Anne Brandt, Associate Director for Education and Prelaw Programs, Law School Admission Council "This is a splendid book which really needed to be written. Having endured the slings and arrows launched at my profession for lo these many years, I am delighted that these authors offer herein a finely crafted, very insightful, and solidly reasoned defense of lawyers and the critical role lawyers play in our society. It is truly a must read for anyone who cares about the future of our democracy." -- Andrew M. Coats, Past President, American College of Trial Lawyers, Dean, University of Oklahoma College of Law "Finally, a clear, witty, and welcome corrective to distorted views about lawyers and the legal system. Read and Strickland show how lawyers solve problems, resolve disputes, protect individual rights, and support the rule of law that underlies both our successful economy and the institutions of our free and democratic society." -- Joseph William Singer "Two longtime law professors and former law school deans are 'mad as hell' about the destructive myths and misconceptions about lawyers and the legal system perpetuated by uninformed and unfair media treatment, political comment, and public misunderstanding. They have assembled, in highly readable form, the empirical data, the historical perspective, and an excellent description of legal training and practice that should set the stage for a more thoughtful and rational discussion of what Americans really believe about the rule of law." -- Christine M.

New York University Press Habeas Corpus after 911
Book SynopsisThe US detention center at Guantanamo Bay has long been synonymous with torture, secrecy, and the abuse of executive power. This book provides an insider's view of the detention of enemy combatants and an accessible explanation of the complex forces that keep these systems running.Trade ReviewDeftly connecting Guantánamo to other secret prisons, law to politics, secrecy to terror, and the efforts of the courts to frame and reframe the ancient writ of habeas corpus for a modern era, Hafetz explores what was lost when habeas became a legal question as opposed to an answer. Anyone seeking a way forward on the issues of detention, incarceration, and the rule of law that continue to plague us would be well advised to start looking here for the answers. -- Dahlia Lithwick * Slate *Hafetzs incisive and insightful volume is more than just a summary of where we have been; it is an impassioned case for the proper way forward with regard both to the substance of national security detention policy and the role courts should play in reviewing and constraining it. Certain to become one of the indispensable accounts of the role that the & Great Writ has played both historically and after September 11, this book provides a powerful and timely testament to the foresight of the Founding Fathers in expressly enshrining the & privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in our Constitution. -- Stephen Vladeck,Professor of Law, American UniversityThe right to habeas corpus is the linchpin of a free nation, and the post-9/11 attack on this safeguard is thus one of the most significant erosions of freedom in many decades. Jonathan Hafetz provides the most thorough account yet of why this right matters so much and what should be done to preserve it. -- Glenn Greenwald * Salon *We all have snatches of the conversation in our heads: Guantánamo, habeas corpus, enemy combatant, military commissions, Bagram, rendition and torture. This book by one of the key lawyers on the front lines in the post-9/11 legal battles puts these pieces together; what emerges is not pretty. If you want to understand how a country that claimed it was the paradigm of fair treatment in its criminal justice system has tailored its laws to expediency, read this disturbing book. -- Michael Ratner,President, Center for Constitutional RightsHafetz's book is an excellent account of the five major Supreme Court cases addressing habeas corpus and constitutional rights to a fair trial after 9/11. * Choice *Habeas Corpus after 9/11 is an impassioned and exhaustive examination of the lack of legal safeguards afforded to detainees at such places as Guantánamo, Bagram, Abu Ghraib, and to those who were the subjects of extraordinary rendition. . . .Thoughtful and well-researched responses to the conditions of the time . . . provide[s] political scientists and historians with perspectives on habeas corpus that they need to consider. * Law and Politics Book Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Part 1 1 Laying the Foundation for the "War on Terror" 2 Guantanamo: Microcosm of a Prison beyond the Law 3 Guantanamo beyond Guantanamo: Toward a Global Detention System 4 Crossing a Constitutional Rubicon: The Domestic "Enemy Combatant" CasesPart 2 5 Habeas Corpus and the Right to Challenge Unlawful Imprisonment 6 The Seeds of a Global Constitution Part 3 7 A Modest Judicial Intervention: The First Supreme Court "Enemy Combatant" Decisions 8 The Battle for Habeas Corpus Continues 9 Tackling Prisons beyond the Law: Guantanamo Revisited ContentsPart 4 10 Toward a Better Understanding of Habeas Corpus: Individual Rights and the Role of the Judiciary during Wartime 11 The Elusive Custodian: Some Potential Limits of Habeas Corpus 12 Terrorism as Crime: Toward a Lawful and Sustainable Detention Policy 13 Continuity and Change: The Detention Policy of a New Administration Notes Index About the Author
