Extractions: BRIEFING PAPER ON LEGAL ISSUES AND WITNESS PROTECTION IN CRIMINAL CASES There is little explicit acknowledgement in domestic law of the potential conflict between the rights of the accused and the position of witnesses. It is doubtless assumed that the latter, as part of the criminal justice process, are afforded adequate protection by the police pre- and post-trial, and by the bench (and possibly the Crown) during the trial. However where such protection is forthcoming it is at the discretion of one or more of those agencies. The lack of guidelines, whether in statutory form or as a code of practice, leads to a variable and necessarily uncertain level of protection which is unsatisfactory. In European Law all of the case law involves accused persons as applicants and the focus is on their rights under Article 6 generally and Article 6 (3) (d) in particular, which requires "equality of arms" between the prosecution and the defence in relation to the attendance and examination of witnesses. Witnesses are given no rights under Article 6 and neither are complainers, whether witnesses or not. Article 6 is concerned only with persons accused of crimes. However, as already indicated above, some attempts have been made in the case law to acknowledge the vulnerability of particular witnesses and their need for protection in particular kinds of crime. Case law illustrates the overriding general principle that the accused should have "the right of confrontation" but also that such right is subject to some modification in certain circumstances. In particular, certain categories of witness, as outlined in the European cases already noted, may attract anonymity or other protective legal measures.
Teaching Domestic Violence Legal Issues violence, (12) or they may know friends or family members who are being abused or Incorporating domestic violence legal issues into law school curricula http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/publications/infores/etedv/advan.htm
Extractions: Teaching Domestic Violence Legal Issues in the Law Schools Benefits Students and Improves the Practice of Law The legal profession has a unique role to play in developing and implementing coordinated community responses to domestic violence. To realize this goal, however, law school programs must ensure that law students who may become prosecutors, defense attorneys, family law attorneys, general practitioners, business leaders, legislators, lobbyists, policy analysts, or judges attain an adequate understanding of domestic violence issues. Continuing legal education or pro bono training programs can train lawyers to handle these cases well, but such programs often come too late in a busy legal professional's career to have a real impact on legal practice. Incorporating domestic violence law into the various curricula used in law schools will provide students with the substantive and lawyering skills necessary to competently represent clients and improve the system's response to domestic violence. One of the most important services law schools can provide in helping to end domestic violence is to ensure that graduating law students understand what domestic violence is and how many areas of law it affects. It is startling how many lawyers do not know what the legal definition of domestic violence is or what abusive behaviors are covered by the law. Because domestic violence is a pattern of actions, legal professionals must be trained to scrutinize even seemingly benign activities like making a telephone call or sending flowers to a former victim.

Lawyers form the backbone of this vital system, linking it to society in myriad ways. For that reason, they hold positions of great responsibility and are obligated to adhere to a strict code of ethics. Lawyers , also called attorneys , act as both advocates and advisors in our society. As advocates, they represent one of the parties in criminal and civil trials by presenting evidence and arguing in court to support their client. As advisors, lawyers counsel their clients concerning their legal rights and obligations and suggest particular courses of action in business and personal matters. Whether acting as an advocate or an advisor, all attorneys research the intent of laws and judicial decisions and apply the law to the specific circumstances faced by their client.

Extractions: "... In essence, the philosophy of Jehovah's Witnesses is that blood has been designed and created by God and should therefore be used as God intended it to be. Conflict between Jehovah's Witnesses and their physicians represents a conflict between 2 opposing principles: respect for patient autonomy and professional commitment to beneficence (duty to provide optimal patient care. The care of Jehovah's Witnesses raises 2 fundamental ethical issues. The first is the determination of appropriate treatment in light of ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, and nonmaleficence; the second is that issues of justice and resource allocation arise because Jehovah's Witnesses refuse recommended treatment, such as blood transfusion, but demand alternative therapies of possible greater expense, questionable benefit, or greather harm. For example, in this case the use of erythropoietin was not reimbursed by the usual methods because it was not within the guidelines specified by Australian Commonwealth. Fortunately, the cost was covered on compassionate grounds by the pharmaceutical company that manifactures the drug. Conflict between patients and pysicians has been dealt with using 3 different techniques: coercion, deception, or attempts at mutual respect for both patient and physician autonomy. An exemple of the use of coercion can be found in the treatment of minors. Courts will generally support blood transfusion for children of Jehovah's Witnesses parents on the basis that parental autonomy is not unlimited and children should not be martyrs to the parents' beliefs. A court order may be obtained and the child would receive a transfusion against the parents' wishes. However, it is preferable for all nonblood alternatives to be tested before coming to this point.
Extractions: Comprehensive advice on the role of the expert in litigation was given by Cresswell J in the shipping case The Ikarian Reefer (National Justice Campania Naviera SA v Prudential Assurance Co Ltd (1993) The Times, 5 March). He stressed seven factors that should govern the duties and responsibilities of expert witnesses. Expert evidence presented to the court should be, and should be seen to be, the independent product of the expert uninfluenced as to form or content by the exigencies of the litigation. An expert witness should provide independent assistance to the court by objective, unbiased opinion in relation to matters within his expertise. An expert witness should state the facts or assumptions on which his opinion is based. He should not omit to consider material facts which could detract from his concluded opinion. The expert should take into account issues that may be raised in cross-examination, so that he is not taken by surprise and the credibility of his evidence thrown into doubt. An expert witness should make it clear when a particular question or issue falls outside his expertise.

The role of a witness is paramount in the criminal justice system of any country. According to Bentham, witnesses are the " eyes and ears of justice ". In the words of Wadhwa, J Given the importance of witnesses in the trial process, any law, aimed at redressing the problem of "hostile witness", should be comprehensive, with a view to eradicate the menace.

Extractions: Legal Eagle Eye Newsletter for the Nursing Profession (4)10 Jul 96 According to an 1891 precedent from the U.S. Supreme Court, "No right is held more sacred, or is more carefully guarded, by the common law, than the right of every individual to the possession and control of his or her own person, free from all restraint or interference of others, unless by clear and unquestioned authority of law." A healthcare facility cannot presume to substitute its own judgment for that of the patient, or make decisions on behalf of the State, or take action simply to preserve its own notions regarding the integrity of the medical profession. SUPREME COURT OF CONNECTICUT, 1996. The hospital went ahead with the transfusion. The patient recovered. She was discharged in good health, along with her healthy newborn infant. Although it was already a moot point, by the time it was asked to take the case, whether or not this patient would receive a blood transfusion, the Supreme Court of Connecticut accepted the case anyway, and went forward with a lengthy discussion of the thorny legal issues the case had raised, with a view toward providing guidance for the future in other cases where the same issues were sure to arise. The patient and her husband also had made no civil claim against the hospital for an award of damages. Thus the court had no cause to render an opinion, one way or the other, whether or not or in what amount damages should be awarded.

Extractions: Home About Economica Staff Expert Witness ... What's new Christopher Bruce One of the most exciting aspects of working in civil litigation is that participants in the legal system have the opportunity to influence the evolution of the law. Although some changes in tort law are imposed by legislatures, most developments are litigation-driven. This raises a question which I have not seen asked anywhere else: Should arguments about changes in the direction of the common law be left to those trained in the law judges and lawyers or is there a role in this process for the testimony of "expert witnesses?" I raise this issue as a result of my experiences with the evolution of two principles in damage assessment: the calculation of the dependancy rate in fatal accident actions and the calculation of the lost years deduction in serious personal injury claims. Briefly, the two issues are these: In the case of the calculation of the dependancy rate, it is commonly accepted that the surviving spouse would have benefitted from approximately 70 percent of the (after-tax) incomes of each of the deceased and the survivor with the remaining 30 percent having benefitted the deceased alone. What is not agreed, however, is whether the 30 percent of the survivors income which would previously have benefitted the deceased should now be deducted from the survivors loss of dependancy. (When this deduction is made, it is said that a "cross dependancy" approach has been used; whereas when the deduction is not made, it is said that a "sole dependancy" approach has been used.)
