The unusual and complex nature of child welfare in America has significant implications for the child’s legal advocate. The U.S. Children’s Bureau identified inadequate representation of children as a chief obstacle to achieving a well-functioning child welfare system. Despite a widespread conviction that children ought to be independently represented in child abuse and neglect court proceedings, there are still questions surrounding who is best suited to represent the child, the duties and responsibilities of the child advocate and how best to maximize the organization and delivery of child welfare services. This...guide shares findings from the National Quality Improvement Center on the Representation of Children in the Child Welfare System (QIC-ChildRep), a project of the University of Michigan Law School supported by the U.S. Children’s Bureau. Lawyers trained in the six core skills of the QIC best practice model improved process and outcomes for children. The book identifies: rationale for the QIC best practice model and the six core skills; specifics of the training in the six core skills; lawyer voices as they implemented the new approach; improved child outcomes based on random assignment experimental design; profile of lawyers representing children, their major activities, and the impact; empirical support for social worker/lawyer teams representing children in child welfare cases; and recommendations for the future of child representation based on the QIC experience.\nContents:

Sustainability for Small Businesses: The Corporate Social Responsibility Series

Alan S. Gutterman

This anthology uses themes from the Preamble to the Constitution as a structure and framework to present fifty-six poems, one for each state, the District of Columbia, and each of the five territories that, together, comprise the United States of America. Some of the poems were written by lawyers, some have obvious legal themes, and others illuminate legal concepts more obliquely. Is there a connection between law and poetry? This anthology suggests the answer is “yes.” A case or code helps to reveal what the law is. A treatise or law review article helps to reveal what the law should be. Poetry about the law, however, may be the single most effective way to connect with the human experience of the law – what it feels like to be the judge, juror, the attorney, the witness, or even the accused. In this anthology of poems, you will discover new connections between law and poetry. The anthology includes 56 poems – one for each state, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. Many are written by famous poets, while others may be unfamiliar. This anthology was inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address in 1861 where he states, “Continue to exercise all the express provisions of our National Constitution, and the Union will endure forever. . . .” As Editor Kristen Adams notes, one of the declared objects for ordaining and establishing the Constitution was “to form a more perfect Union.” With this goal in mind, this anthology uses the language from the Preamble to the Constitution as a structure and framework. The collection is separated into sections using language and themes from the Preamble. Each section seeks to challenge the reader to consider how the promises and ideals of the Preamble might be fulfilled by “the better angels of our nature,” and to illuminate opportunities for changes that might assist in reaching those ideals.

The global esports industry has grown rapidly, giving rise to a range of new and interesting legal questions and issues. This guide addresses which laws govern esports and provides a comparison to traditional sports, touching on topics such as intellectual property rights, labor and employment issues, violent content, collegiate esports, gambling, and more. Esports law covers a variety of practice areas that present a rapidly-changing field and a unique set of challenges. This new guide discusses laws that govern esports and how the bodies of law that apply in the context of traditional sports are both similar to, and distinct from, those governing esports.

This book, the first of its kind to address these issues, begins with a brief history of esports and leads up to today's growing industry. To help lawyers gain an understanding of the complexities of esports, this guide: Outlines the history and business environment of competitive electronic gaming. Explores the legal issues related to the esports industry, including the ownership of intellectual property rights; issues pertaining to gamers' rights of publicity; esports labor and employment matters; and issues pertaining to contest broadcasts.
