Hong Kong\u27s Discriminatory Air Time: Family Viewing Hours and the Case of \u3ci\u3eCho Man Kit v. Broadcasting Authority\u3c/i\u3e

Hong Kong’s long standing commitment to media and press freedom came under question when the Broadcasting Authority issued a ruling against a television show about same-sex couples. In deciding Cho Man Kit v. Broadcasting Authority, the Court of First Instance affirmed that sexual orientation must be afforded freedom of expression in public broadcasting. However, the Court found that the Broadcasting Authority had lawfully ruled that the show be excluded from family viewing hours. Though the opinion was in many ways a legal victory for homosexuals in Hong Kong, this Comment argues that the family viewing hours ruling undermines the cornerstone principle of equality in Hong Kong society. In its analysis, the Court misconstrued the “sex and nudity” provision of the Broadcasting Authority Code of Practice in a discriminatory manner such that homosexuality was hypersexualized. In addition, the Court used a legally insufficient proportionality test to analyze the family viewing hours provision in defiance of both legal precedent and Hong Kong public policy. For this reason, the second half of the Court’s opinion is infused with the very discrimination the Court sought to prevent

The Benefits of Integrating Statutory Construction and Analysis in a First-Year Legal Writing Course

Teaching statutory analysis to first-year law school students not only reinforces important principles of legal analysis and writing (from gaining a better understanding of the hierarchy of legal authorities to continuing to practice IRAC/CRAC methods of organization), but it also prepares students better for the actual practice of law

Using Therapeutic Principles in the Legal Writing Classroom

Research for over 50 years on the experience of students and teachers supports the use of therapeutic principles to promote a classroom space that fosters cooperation, interaction, diversity, and responsibility. By understanding communication, social interactions, and cognition principles, teachers teach more effectively and students learn more easily. The converse is true, however. Poor communication, assumptions, lack of mindfulness, or fixed mindsets all lead to lack of motivation, poor teaching, and poor learning. Unlike school teachers, most law professors do not have any training with these psychological principles. Thus, legal teaching can be rigid, competitive, harsh, and ill-suited to students facing an increasingly complex and painful world

Zika Virus Prevention Behaviors and Knowledge Among Male Partners of Pregnant People and Lack of Condom Use as a Prevention Behavior From the Zika en Embarazadas Y Niños (Zen) Prospective Cohort Study, Colombia

Objective: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in pregnancy can cause brain and eye abnormalities and neurodevelopmental sequelae. In the absence of medical countermeasures, behavioral interventions were recommended to prevent mosquito bites and sexual transmission of ZIKV. This report uses data from the Zika en Embarazadas y Niños (ZEN) prospective cohort study in Colombia to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KAB) related to ZIKV prevention in male partners compared to those of their pregnant partners at study enrollment during February 2017-2018. Results: Most male partners reported wearing protective clothing such as long pants (97.6%) and long sleeves (72.8%), as well as covering ankles and feet (89.1%) to prevent ZIKV infection. When comparing the preventive behavior of condom use between male and pregnant partners, 26 pairs (10.0%) both responded that they performed the behavior. Overall, 25.1% of male partners and 18.9% of pregnant people reported any condom use during the three months before enrolling in ZEN. When comparing other preventive behaviors between male and pregnant partners, the behavior which was most frequently reported by both partners was wearing long pants (85.4%), and the least frequently reported by both partners was using condoms after finding out about a partner\u27s pregnancy (3.4%)

The Importance of Being Earnest: Writing an Effective Supplemental Authorities Letter

On its face, Rule 28(j) does not ask a lot of practitioners: merely that they identify “pertinent and significant” authorities and “promptly” advise the court of the supplemental authorities’ relevance to the case in “350 words.” But it also doesn’t give a lot of guidance. What is “pertinent and significant”? When is “promptly”? And what can you say in a mere 350 words? Effective appellate advocates consider these questions and walk a careful line to follow the letter and the spirit of the rule. To ensure your letters help your case, here are a few practice tips for crafting effective one
