Book excerpt: Hastings v. USATF, IAAF and IOC is a case where sports, constitutional law, and human rights law converge when an elite athlete is excluded from the Olympics due to her gender. This case is a federal appeal by Nakia Hastings, a female intersex athlete who was excluded by USA Track & Field ["USATF"] from the US team sent to the 2012 London Olympics. Her exclusion was due to new Regulations that ban female athletes with naturally elevated testosterone levels; these Regulations were promulgated by the international sports regulatory bodies [the International Association of Athletics Federations ("IAAF") and the International Olympic Committee ("IOC")]. Hastings challenged her exclusion before the Court of Arbitration for Sports ["CAS"] which ruled against her. She appealed this CAS arbitration in US District Court, alleging: that these Regulations are unconstitutional gender discrimination; that they violate her human rights; and that they should not be enforced under the "public policy" exception to the New York Convention. The District Court ruled against Hastings on all counts, and she has appealed to the Ninth Circuit. Although international in focus, the case file is designed to be accessible to US JDs and LLMs, and thus it is set in a US court and all legal authorities are available in English. The case file includes the appellate record and potential assignments, specifically, an appellate brief, oral arguments, appellate mediation, and a judicial opinion for the case. The Teacher's Manual includes answer keys, evaluation rubrics, and a full bench memo. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.

Book excerpt: In Thorpe v. Lightfoot, Micaela Thorpe appeals the District Court's denial of her petition to have her young son returned to Trinidad after he was abducted to the US by his father, Antoine Lightfoot, in violation of the Hague Convention on International Child Abductions. This appeal raises three issues of public international law and international family law, specifically: Does a US court have jurisdiction over an anticipatory breach, given the conflicting international law on this issue? Would it pose a "grave risk of harm" to return a child suffering from PTSD to the place where his PTSD-triggering injuries occurred? Is an 8-year-old child "sufficiently mature" for a court to consider his objections when repatriating him against his will? This case file is intended for two audiences. First, it is intended for professors of international or family law, allowing them to assign any or all of the documents in the file as practice materials to supplement students' training in the substantive law. In addition, this case file is intended as the lawsuit at the heart of an advanced advocacy course or moot court competition. In either situation, professors can assign any of the assignments alone or together. The case file and its Student Manual guide students through creating a bench memo and a federal appellate brief, mediating the appeal, and writing the final judicial opinion. The Teacher's Manual provides a full set of rubrics, samples and a thorough bench memo to teach each of these components. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.

Download or read book A Context and Practice Global Case File written by Olivia M. Farrar and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international embryo and surrogacy dispute raises constitutional issues and international conflicts of law. The Maltese ex-wife has sued to be allowed to use the parties¿ embryos that they created during their marriage: using the embryos, she wants to create children via a surrogate. The parties¿ IVF contract specified she would have control of any embryos, but the U.S. ex-husband won an injunction barring her access to the embryos. This case file is their appeal. Each party is arguing their constitutional right to be or to not be a parent is at stake in the case. The ex-husband further argues that the surrogacy required to create children from the embryos would be a crime under DC law [where the embryos are located] as well as being a crime under Maltese law [the ex-wife¿s nationality and where she intends to return with the children], but it is unclear whether D.C., Maryland, Virginia or Maltese law governs this embryo dispute, and the choice of law is outcome-determinative.

Download or read book Public Health Ethics Cases Spanning the Globe written by Drue H. Barrett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book highlights the ethical issues and dilemmas that arise in the practice of public health. It is also a tool to support instruction, debate, and dialogue regarding public health ethics. Although the practice of public health has always included consideration of ethical issues, the field of public health ethics as a discipline is a relatively new and emerging area. There are few practical training resources for public health practitioners, especially resources which include discussion of realistic cases which are likely to arise in the practice of public health. This work discusses these issues on a case to case basis and helps create awareness and understanding of the ethics of public health care. The main audience for the casebook is public health practitioners, including front-line workers, field epidemiology trainers and trainees, managers, planners, and decision makers who have an interest in learning about how to integrate ethical analysis into their day to day public health practice. The casebook is also useful to schools of public health and public health students as well as to academic ethicists who can use the book to teach public health ethics and distinguish it from clinical and research ethics.

Book excerpt: Research and practice in the vast field of school-family-community relations have evolved dramatically over the last thirty years. Schools throughout the world face enormous challenges due to demographic changes and societal problems, making partnerships among schools, families and community groups a necessity. Specific issues such as poverty, school dropout, violence and suicide, the wider diversity of students and parents, the higher accountability demanded of school systems, the implementation of school reforms and a multitude of government strategies and policies all contribute to a rapidly changing educational world.

School-family-community collaboration is no longer a single country issue. The book brings together contributions from culturally and linguistically diverse countries facing these common situations and challenges. It details practices that have proved effective alongside relevant case examples, and covers a wide variety of topics, including: challenges arising from the application of parent-school legislation at national level the work of schools with migrant groups, low-income parents and parents with behaviour problems. evaluation of various family-school-community partnerships programs the way ahead for Family-School-Community Relations With contributions from distinguished researchers from throughout the world (including the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, China and Australia).
