Thinking critically about law ::a student's guide /
No full text"You arrive at university to embark upon your journey to 'think like a lawyer', but is simply knowing the law enough to gain you the best marks? What do you need to do, exactly, to achieve a first-class law degree and promising professional career? For top marks, what do your lecturers mean when they say you need to deepen your 'critical analysis' to answer assessment questions? When should you put your own viewpoints forward? When, and how, should you draw upon the work of others? What do your examiners mean when they give you feedback saying that your work is 'too descriptive'? This book explores what it means to think critically and offers practical tips and advice for students to develop the process, skill and ability of thinking critically while studying law, as well as beyond that in the workplace. The second edition of Thinking Critically About Law utilises art, music, poetry and prose to explore essential questions about studying law and what it means to think critically, offering practical tips and advice for students looking to develop critical thinking skills in relation to law. Updates reflect seismic changes that have taken place both in law teaching and in society more generally. These include the Covid-19 pandemic, social movements sparked by the murders of murders of Sarah Everard and George Floyd, moves to decolonise the law curriculum and the introduction of the SQE qualification. There is also an innovative foreword by Professor Russell Sandberg, a new chapter on the topic of how to think critically during discussions, a new section on Thinking Critically About Law in the Future as well as a renewed emphasis on the health and wellbeing of students. Other student-focused resources will be available as support materials. Thinking Critically about Law is a crucial companion for those studying law at A-Level and undergraduate level, as well as being relevant to postgraduate students, newly qualified lawyers and tutors of law"-

Revisiting City of Morgan Hill: Fixing California’s Direct Democracy Preemption Test
No full textCalifornia has a housing crisis. Despite the state government’s best efforts to build more homes, local governments and local voters are finding new ways to circumvent those requirements. One such loophole allows California voters to propose non-compliant housing plans through the ballot initiative process or effectively veto their local governments’ housing allocation decisions through a referendum. Although voters rarely use this loophole, the California Supreme Court should step in and prevent it from growing in popularity. The court can do so by simply making a small change to a legal test that determines when local initiatives and referenda are preempted by state law

The competency restoration handbook ::a guide and resources for clinicians /
No full text"This handbook is a collection of foundational materials for competency restoration providers who work with adult pretrial defendants in the U.S. We first describe the legal context related to adjudicative competence, and provide an overview of foundational competency restoration practices. We expand upon these foundational resources by explaining how various clinical interventions can be adapted to help restore individuals to competency. We attempt to explain and model a holistic, multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary, and culturally-conscious approach to restoration. Covering empirically-informed, theoretical, and creative approaches that can be individualized for each specific defendant, we aim to encourage and facilitate best practices in competency restoration. The reader is encouraged to adopt the interventions illustrated, within the scope of their professional competencies, to address defendant-specific barriers to adjudicative competence. Unfortunately, there is still very little outcome research on the utility of incorporating these and other clinical approaches in competency restoration. Competency restoration providers are encouraged to consider adapting other treatment modalities not mentioned in this handbook (i.e., particularly those which are empirically supported, or newly developed, for clinical use) to facilitate competency restoration"-- Provided by publisher
