How are victims of intimate partner violence meant to protect themselves—and, often, their children—without winding up dead, in hospital, or prison? It's a situation that many find themselves in. Approximately 15 percent of women in the United States are victims of intimate partner violence, according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. But the legal system is not set up to help them. In this episode the executive director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center, Debbie Mukamal, and Stanford Law student Jacqueline Lewittes join Pam and Rich to discuss the Center's new study “Fatal Peril: Unheard Stories from the IPV-to-Prison Pipeline and Other Stories Touched by Violence,” that offers groundbreaking data and personal stories from women currently in prison because of intimate partner violence. They also touch on the systemic failures in the justice system in handling these complex cases.  Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:Debbie Mukamal  >>> Stanford Law School PageFatal Peril: Unheard Stories from the IPV-to-Prison Pipeline >>> Stanford Law School Page(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Introductions and Goals of the Research Hosts Pam Karlan and Rich Ford discuss how the project on women incarcerated for killing their abusers began during the pandemic, sparked by a lack of national data on these cases with Debbie Mukamal and SLS student Jacqueline Lewittes. Mukamal explains how her team's long-standing relationships with the California Department of Corrections facilitated their research access despite COVID-19 restrictions.(00:04:12) Chapter 2: Research Design and Challenges The team outlines the complexities of designing the study, including broadening the focus beyond intimate partner killings and overcoming barriers like accessing reliable court records. They explain how they relied on direct interviews and used validated tools like the Danger Assessment and Composite Abuse Scale to assess the severity of abuse.(00:08:42) Chapter 3: Striking Findings and Legal Implications Explore key findings, including the prevalence of traumatic brain injuries among respondents and the failure of self-defense laws to protect abused women. Jacqueline highlights a specific case that illustrates how memory loss due to abuse complicates self-defense claims, underscoring the systemic legal failures.(00:18:30) Chapter 4: The Role of Intimate Partner Violence in Homicide CasesThe group delves into the startling statistics of women convicted of homicide in connection to intimate partner violence. Debbie Mukamal discusses how nearly 74% of women in their study had experienced abuse at the time of the offense, breaking down the subcategories of cases, from those who killed their abuser to others involving child fatalities.(00:21:25) Chapter 5: Systemic Failures in Protecting Abuse VictimsExamine the various ways in which the legal system fails to protect women who are victims of abuse. From denied protective orders to mistreatment by police and ineffective legal defense, the discussion highlights the failures at multiple levels and the resulting harsh sentences.(00:23:55) Chapter 6: Law Reform and the Impact of Trauma on Legal CulpabilityThis segment focuses on potential legal reforms, including changes to homicide statutes and the need for better understanding of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in abuse survivors. Debbie Mukamal and Pam Karlan discuss the implications of TBI on a woman's ability to recall facts, and how reforms could better account for their experiences.

'Does Ireland have a Europe strategy?' Europe is in flux. Countries are re-arming in response to growing security threats. Economic security risks are leading to a rethinking of EU state aid rules, competition and trade policies. With public opinion shifting against immigration across the continent, how the EU and its members handle asylum applications from outside the bloc is rising up the agenda. Dr Eoin Drea, Senator Michael McDowell and Dr Kathryn Simpson share their views on how Ireland is positioning itself on these issues, how they think it should position itself, and how have Ireland's alliances with other member states have evolved in these rapidly changing circumstances?

He served as Attorney General from 1999 to 2002, as Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform from 2002 until 2007, and as Tánaiste from 2006 until 2007. He is also currently a Senior Counsel, an Adjunct Professor in the UCD Sutherland School of Law and a weekly columnist with the Irish Times. Dr Kathryn Simpson is Associate Professor of Politics & Economics of the EU and Director of Research at Keele University. Her research interests include Ireland's relationship with the EU, political behaviour and public opinion in the EU, UK & Ireland, the politics, and economics of Brexit on the island of Ireland and Ireland-UK relations post-Brexit.

The Government's edging towards becoming more prescriptive with its sentencing reforms.   It's introducing changes to lengthen sentences for some crimes including creating a new aggravating factor and limiting sentencing discounts.  Law Society Criminal Law Committee Convenor Chris Macklin says it's early days, but it looks like there's still some room for discretion.  He told Mike Hosking that he expects Judges will do their best to apply whatever comes out of the legislation as fairly as possible.   Macklin says it's just a small step towards becoming more prescriptive, signalling to the courts the expectation of Parliament rather than an outcome.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Animals in Cost-Benefit Analysis, published by Vasco Grilo on April 25, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is a linkpost for Animals in Cost-Benefit Analysis by Andrew Stawasz. The article is forthcoming in the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform. Abstract Federal agencies' cost-benefit analyses do not capture nonhuman animals' ("animals'") interests. This omission matters. Cost-benefit analysis drives many regulatory decisions that substantially affect many billions of animals. That omission creates a regulatory blind spot that is untenable as a matter of morality and of policy. This Article advances two claims related to valuing animals in cost-benefit analyses. The Weak Claim argues that agencies typically may do so. No legal prohibitions usually exist, and such valuation is within agencies' legitimate discretion. The Strong Claim argues that agencies often must do so if a policy would substantially affect animals. Cost-benefit analysis is concerned with improving welfare, and no argument for entirely omitting animals' welfare holds water. Agencies have several options to implement this vision. These options include, most preferably, human-derived valuations (albeit in limited circumstances), interspecies comparisons, direct estimates of animals' preferences, and, at a minimum, breakeven analysis. Agencies could deal with uncertainty by conducting sensitivity analyses or combining methods. For any method, agencies should consider what happens when a policy would save animals from some bad outcomes and what form a mandate to value animals should take. Valuing animals could have mattered for many cost-benefit analyses, including those for pet-food safety regulations and a rear backup camera mandate. As a sort of "proof of concept," this Article shows that even a simple breakeven analysis from affected animals' perspective paints even the thoroughly investigated policy decision at issue in Entergy Corp. v. Riverkeeper, Inc. in an informative new light. Table of contents Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

Australia's legal frameworks for biodiversity conservation and environmental protection are intended to preserve and enhance the nation's natural and cultural heritage while enabling appropriate forms of urban development and infrastructure. Yet Commonwealth Environmental Protection & Biodiversity Conservation law has been deemed unfit for purpose, while the states pledge ongoing reforms to make land use systems faster and more responsive to enable residential development and major projects. Key issues include certification and offsetting processes for biodiversity or heritage and whether alternative approaches, from avoiding development altogether to better protecting and enhancing conservation outcomes are possible.

This week we are back with another fortnightly update on what's happening around the world and the greater cookerverse. First up we have the hysterical reaction from cookers about the recently implemented 'director ID' that seeks to place greater accountability on company directors. Cookers hate it! Why? Well, it's the start of the holocaust. That's bad! Don't worry - Rebecca Lloyd, disendorsed One Nation candiate and FAIR Business Australia founder is here to save us all. She has a dream! I wonder why cookers are against laws that seek to reduce corporate fraud. I'll let you decide on that one. We look at drug law reform - just happened in the Canadian province of British Columbia - but is it going to happen here? Maybe. Probably not. But evidence shows it's not only good for society, but also good for the budget too. Win win. In Cooker Update we have a special guest - @cookerwatch - to give us the rundown on the bizarre Guru saga that saw concreter and entertainer Dave 'Guru' Graham lose his shit after Ben Fordham didn't let him on air. Don't worry Guru, the guys from b105 will put you on the air! Looks like bogans from Logan are about to become cookers...In BPFW Jack throws down some choice quotes. In SovCits we talk about the term SovCit and what's appropriate. It's complex, it's nuanced but it's a work in progress. Pete is still on facebook! What? Babet doubles down on some very bad fashion choices and gets a big dumb neon sign for his new 'studio'. The last thing we need is Senator Babet, YouTuber. But that's the hellscape we live in. Enjoy!
