...REPORT ON COURT ROOM OBSERVATION. This report is based on my observations carried out in two Courts in England and Wales precisely in Manchester. The report is in two parts, one on civil jurisdiction and the other one on criminal jurisdiction. This visit has afforded me the opportunity of witnessing “law in action” different from “law in books”. I have also been able to compare both the civil and criminal process and proceedings. The two courts I visited are both in Manchester. The Crown court I visited is situated in an old building commissioned years ago whereas the magistrate court is situated in an ultra modern building commissioned not too long ago. I have read books and journals enumerating the differences between the judges and magistrates. This court room observation has given me he on the sport assessment of the differences between the two courts and many other questions that I will be addressing in the course of this report… As we were advised, my first visit to the courts (Magistrate and Crown Courts) was to find out about the time and the cases. I discovered that youth cases and family are not opened to the public and at this point, I was able to decide on the dates to attend the courts and the types of cases to observe. “The Magistrates’ courts are purely the courts of first instance”. The Magistrates in England and Wales are lay men without the knowledge of law and they are also referred to as “Justices of the Peace” but they are assisted by a Justice’ clerk...

...legal documents that can be used in courts. My time in these agencies have been spent helping families overcome different barriers that pose a danger or threat to the safety and security of the children. Based on your response to the previous question, please describe how you acquired your experience in case management. I’ve gained experience through my previous employment as a Family Advocate at Oregon Child Development Coalition and as a Social Service Assistant at Oregon DHS Child Welfare. In these jobs I’ve had to document and record any progress the families have made as well as any actions that I have taken to advance their case. Working at OCDC, I had to juggle different families and make sure that I was meeting monthly and weekly checkpoints to ensure children’s health and safety. At OCDC, children needed to be up to date on their health screenings and physicals. I had to keep track of the children’s last Well Child Check and dental checks to ensure they were on track with their health or find them the necessary resources needed to get those checks performed. Similarly, I worked with parents to ensure they were making progress on their family goals, many of which tended to be educational. In these cases, I had to keep track of deadlines, and be in constant communication with the parents to ensure they stayed on track to meet those goals. Ultimately all this information needed to be documented in a legal document that could be used in court if subpoenaed. While working as...

...Smyth and Kaspiew The Australian Research Council funded Behrens, Smyth and Kaspiew (2008a, 2008b, 2009a, 2009b) to undertake a small-scale, retrospective, qualitative study involving in-depth interviews with 38 separated parents (27 fathers and 11 mothers) concerning their experiences of contested relocation proceedings in the Family Court of Australia (FCA), the Federal Magistrates Court or the Family Court of Western Australia between 2002 and mid-2005 (i.e. where the Court order had been made between 18 months and five years previously). The research team also planned to interview the children of these parents, but after only being able to recruit three children had to abandon this aspect of their study. The study aimed to specifically examine how parents (and children) perceived the impact on themselves and other family members of the decision; what had happened for the family members in the aftermath of the decision (for example, how had patterns of contact evolved in the period after the decision?); and what reflections on the process did parents have, and what advice would they have for other parents? Parents were recruited through the Courts (400 letters), with letters sent to solicitors 3 Our research team has been collaborating with this Sydney team to undertake a parallel project in New Zealand. 23 when they were...
