You could have a dictatorship where one person is in charge, and dictates things like, "Daniel, I hate your reports. You go to jail." In Australia we have three parts to our legal system. One is the Parliament and they're people that make laws for people. Two is the police, they're people and they try to make sure that laws aren't broken. Three is the court system. They decide whether laws were broken, and what the punishment should be. In Australia, because law is really the framework, you say we live under rule of law.

Forensic social work is the application of social work to questions and issues relating to law and legal systems. This specialty of our profession goes far beyond clinics and psychiatric hospitals for criminal defendants being evaluated and treated on issues of competency and responsibility. A broader definition includes social work practice which in any way is related to legal issues and litigation, both criminal and civil. Child custody issues, involving separation, divorce, neglect, termination of parental rights, the implications of child and spouse abuse, juvenile and adult justice services, corrections, and mandated treatment all fall under this definition.

Extractions: Home Violence Aging Healthy Adolescents Project ... Publications Professional, Ethical, and Legal Issues Concerning Interpersonal Violence, Maltreatment, and Related Trauma A report of the ad hoc Committee on Legal and Ethical Issues in the Treatment of Interpersonal Violence Table of Contents Introduction Section IV: Collateral Issues Section I: Professional roles Section V: Forensic Psychology ... Section III: Treatment This introduction provides a brief review of the issues faced by psychologists working in the areas of interpersonal violence. The problem includes the perception of a harassing backlash against psychologists who have been involved in interpersonal violence cases and issues. In particular, some psychologists who work with child or elder maltreatment, spousal / partner battering, and adults who recall memories of childhood abuse have been targets or personal and organized harassment. The forms of harassment have included personal threats and picketing of offices, media campaigns, as well as ethic and licensing board complaints and lawsuits. Psychologists who find themselves subjected to a nuisance or unsubstantiated grievance may experience vulnerability, loneliness, PTSD symptoms, or professional and financial consequences. They often experience isolation and secondary traumatization. Our committee was particularly concerned with various organized efforts developed to help alleged perpetrators of interpersonal violence and others pursue board actions, ethics complaints and nuisance lawsuits against psychologists who have served as therapist, forensic evaluator, expert witness, or client advocate for victims of interpersonal violence. Templates to file such complaints have been developed by various groups. In addition, our committee was concerned about the negative perceptions portrayed in the media and among consumers about psychologists and psychotherapy. Such perceptions could have far reaching implications for policy and practice. For example, malpractice insurance carriers may attempt to deny converge to psychologists working with clients who have experienced various forms of interpersonal violence.

Extractions: Updated July 28, 1998 The allegations involving President Clinton and former White House intern Monica Lewinsky present enough intriguing legal questions to fill a law school exam. There are issues of criminal law, civil litigation and constitutional interpretation. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. Is the independent counsel law constitutional? Is the independent counsel law constitutional? The authority under which Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr is operating derives from the Independent Counsel statute, 28 U.S.C. Chapter 40 The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the law in a 1988 case, Morrison v. Olson . The challenge, championed mostly by conservatives, argued that the law violates the constitutional separation of powers by infringing too much on the president's executive authority. A seven-justice majority found that even though the counsel is to some degree independent, the law gives the executive branch sufficient control to ensure that the president is able to perform his constitutionally assigned duties.
