Demystifying âPornographyâ: Tailoring Special Release Conditions Concerning Pornography and Sexually Oriented Expression
[Excerpt] âThis article examines the design of special release conditions and the problems that arise when such conditions do not comport with constitutional standards. Part I provides a general overview of the First Amendment issues that often arise with respect to special release conditions. Part II discusses the current state of the law and classifies the types of bans defendants have encountered in supervised release conditions. Part III explains the factors that are frequently considered in assessing the validity of special release conditions, and Part IV suggests a new approach for evaluating the constitutionality of special release conditions. The article concludes by endorsing constitutionally permissible tailoring for release conditions and by encouraging courts to interpret these conditions with careful attention to the individual defendantâs situation.

Separate and Legally Unequal â How The Demonization of Immigrants Affects United States Policy
Samverkan blir allt vanligare som organisatorisk lösning pĂ„ situationer dĂ€r ansvarsomrĂ„den Ă€r vaga eller skĂ€r över organisationsgrĂ€nser. Inom omrĂ„det vĂ„rd och omsorg om Ă€ldre korsar ansvaret grĂ€nser bĂ„de avseende huvudmĂ€n och yrkesgrupper och satsningar pĂ„ samverkan Ă€r dĂ€rför frekvent förekommande. SĂ€rskilda satsningar pĂ„ samverkan inom just rehabiliteringsomrĂ„det har ocksĂ„ frĂ€mjats av statliga stimulansmedel riktade mot vĂ„rden och omsorgen om Ă€ldre. Föreliggande studie belyser hur kĂ€rntruppen, en grupp bestĂ„ende av representanter för olika yrkesgrupper och huvudmĂ€n med ansvar för olika uppdrag i rehabiliteringen av Ă€ldre i Kinda kommit att samverka i syfte att skapa bĂ€ttre samordning och samsyn kring brukaren. Materialet som studien bygger pĂ„ bestĂ„r av fem Ă„rs kontinuerliga mötesanteckningar, personliga intervjuer, en fokusgruppsintervju, ett Ă„rs kontinuerligt nedskrivna mötesdagböcker samt övrig dokumentation om verksamheten. Studien visar hur samverkan kan utvecklas och samsyn frammanas i viktiga frĂ„gor genom att rĂ€tt personer involveras, personligt engagemang skapas och tid ges till diskussion om frĂ„gor som lyfts upp och bearbetas efter hand. Sett ur ett meningsskapandeperspektiv framtrĂ€der betydelsen av gemensamma aktiviteter vid olika mötesarenor för den samsyn som Ă„stadkoms. Brukaren, eller âKalleâ, blir det objekt som företrĂ€dare för samtliga inblandade organisationer och yrkesgrupper kan samlas kring. Genom mötet dem emellan framtrĂ€der kĂ€rntruppen som en organisation som fungerar som en lĂ€nk mellan olika vĂ€rldar likvĂ€l som en brobyggare för att inkludera Ă€ven andra i ett alternativt synsĂ€tt pĂ„ brukaren.Rapporten tillgĂ€nglig för bestĂ€llning via FoU-centrum, www.linkoping.se.</p

Sleep Problems in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) on the relationship between sleep problems and externalizing behaviors in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Sixty-six participants with ASD and a mean age of 4 years and their parents participated in the study. Parents reported on their childâs sleep, ASD symptoms, and externalizing behavior during a one-time lab visit. Bivariate correlations and a mediation analysis were conducted to assess the associations between sleep problems, externalizing behavior, and RRB. Results suggested that children with higher scores in measures of RRB had higher scores in sleep problems and externalizing behavior. Results also suggested that RRB partially mediated the relationship between sleep problems and externalizing behavior. Implications for the early identification of sleep and behavior problems, as well as ASD symptoms, are discussed
Speaking the Truth: Supporting Authentic Advocacy with Professional Identity Formation
When law students are asked to articulate legal rules in a persuasive communication such as a brief, they may experience internal tension. Their version of the rule, as framed to benefit a particular clientâs position, may be different from the way they would articulate the rule if they were not taking on an advocateâs role. The conflict between those two versions of a legal rule leads some students to wonder if advocacy itself is deceptive, if an advocateâs role requires one to sacrifice ethics for success, and if ancient Greek philosophers were correct when they derided persuasive communication as âtrickery and magic,â and criticized advocates for making arguments that were âartfully written but not truthfully meant.â This tension is not unique to students. All advocates must ask themselves whether they can provide a true and accurate version of the law (truthful law) and simultaneously articulate a version of the law that will help their clients. This question speaks to the very nature of law and what it means to be a lawyer. If the question is not successfully resolved, students and lawyers are more susceptible to the cynicism and discontent that permeates the legal profession.Using Platoâs denunciation of rhetoric and rhetoricians as a starting point, Part I of this Article will explore how the first year of law school may create and exacerbate tension between law studentsâ desire to advocate on behalf of their clients and their desire to truthfully communicate the law. Part II will explore how law school could resolve this tension with an explicit discussion of legal determinacy and the lawyerâs role in creating law: what students need to hear, when they need to hear it, and where that conversation might be placed within the curriculum. The Article will identify the developing area of professional identity formation as a natural location for an effective discussion, which would ideally occur within the first year of studies. In that discussion, law students can explore a view of lawyers as meaning-makers and truth-tellers: rhetoricians who understand and are faithful to the true essence of a law but are also able to create alternatives within the scope of that true law. Students and lawyers can integrate their own identities into this professional identity, and maintain authenticity in their advocacy
