Academic Policies
In accordance with American Bar Association standards, all J.D. degree candidates must satisfy the Law School's upper-level writing requirement by completing at least one substantial research paper during law school. J.D. students may not satisfy the upper-level writing requirement during their first year of law school. LL.M. degree candidates also must satisfy the Law School's upper-level writing requirement as part of their degree requirements. Briefs, a series of papers or team-written papers may not be used to satisfy the writing requirement.
Students may satisfy the writing requirement as follows:
1) Successfully completing a substantial research paper in a Law School semester-long or yearlong course included on the Approved Writing Requirement Course List.
3) Successfully completing a substantial research paper by "special request" in a Law School semester-long or yearlong course not included on the Approved Writing Requirement Course List. This option requires students to complete and submit a Writing Requirement Intent Form by the end of the fifth week of the semester in which the research paper is to be submitted. Contact the Student Records Office for details.
4) Dual-degree students may satisfy the writing requirement by writing a substantial research paper on a law-related topic in a course taken in the other school or department — either at UVA or at another institution approved for participation in Virginia's dual-degree program — provided that a resident Law School faculty member certifies that the written work meets the Law School's standards for the writing requirement. In no case will this approval result in additional course credit; the certification relates solely to satisfaction of the upper-level writing requirement. This option applies only to work completed as part of the dual-degree program. Undergraduate papers, papers completed in other graduate programs, briefs written over the summer while employed and the like are expressly excluded from satisfying the writing requirement. For more information about this option, contact the assistant dean for academic services.
The expectation is that the written work will be typed, doubled-spaced and a minimum of 7,500 words, footnotes included. However, this is intended only as a guideline. Final determination of appropriate requirements is left to the judgment of the course instructor/supervising faculty member. Students should arrange with the course instructor/supervising faculty member to submit an outline, abstract, first draft or other mutually agreeable research plan for comment prior to submitting the final version of the paper.
For the semester in which a student intends to satisfy the writing requirement, it is the student's responsibility to enroll in a course included on the Approved Writing Requirement Course List or an independent research project, or submit a completed, approved and signed Writing Requirement Intent Form to the Student Records Office no later than the end of the fifth week of the semester. Late submissions will not be accepted.
The course instructor/supervising faculty member will be asked at the end of the semester to certify that the research paper submitted satisfies the writing requirement. Every student should be certain that his or her understanding of what is required to meet the writing requirement coincides with that of the course instructor/supervising faculty member.
Students seeking permission to visit away at another ABA-approved law school must petition the assistant dean for student affairs. Approval will be granted only when the student's continued presence in the Charlottesville area places an exceptional hardship on the student. An example of a qualifying circumstance would be the onset of a severe illness of a close family member that requires the student's presence outside of the Charlottesville area. The need to accompany or join a spouse elsewhere, out of area employment opportunities or the desire to study in another location, does not constitute such a hardship. For further information and assistance, contact the assistant dean for student affairs.
NOTE: Transfer students awarded two residency semesters at entrance are not eligible to visit away at another ABA-approved law school.
Students receiving permission to spend one or two semesters at another law school are governed by the following:
1) Students are expected to attend a law school of comparable quality. If that is not possible in the area where the student is located, the student must attend the best available institution in that area, although that fact alone will not ensure its approval; all requests will be considered on an individual basis.
2) Students must satisfy the upper-level writing requirement and complete the required professional ethics and professional skills courses while in attendance at Virginia.
3) Students must be in good academic standing at Virginia before enrolling at the other school.
4) The student's proposed course schedule at the school visited must be approved by the assistant dean for academic services.
5) Enrollment at the school visited must be on a full-time basis and for a minimum of 12 semester credits (or the equivalent) each semester.
6) Students may not enroll in courses at the school visited that duplicate courses completed at Virginia.
7) Only grades of C (or its equivalent) or better earned at the school visited will be credited toward the Virginia degree. Pass/fail grades will be accepted for courses graded only on a pass/fail basis.
8) Students who have received an F grade in a course at Virginia will not be allowed to transfer credit for that course from the school visited.
9) Registration as a "not-in-residence" student and payment of the associated fee at the University of Virginia are required during the semester in which the student intends to graduate.
NOTE: Grade and credit certifications from the school visited must be received by the Virginia Student Records Office no later than 10 a.m. on the Thursday preceding Virginia's May commencement in order to receive a diploma at commencement.
10) Students who undertake course work at the University of Virginia while visiting away are responsible for any resulting tuition and fee charges at Virginia.
11) Grades received at the school visited are not included in the calculation of Virginia grade point averages or in the consideration of Virginia honors.
All class sessions and meetings must be completed on or before the applicable "Classes End" date identified on the Academic Calendar. No examination review sessions (even optional ones) should be held by instructors after this date. Instructor office hours, of any duration and/or frequency, after this date are acceptable.

Craig Ruttle, Associated Press
NEW YORK — Unions gave a high-profile boost to the long-running protest against Wall Street and economic inequality Wednesday, with their members joining thousands of protesters in a lower Manhattan march. Across the country, students at several colleges walked out of classes in solidarity.
People gathered at Foley Square, an area encircled by courthouses and named for "Big Tom" Foley, a former blacksmith's helper who became a prominent state Democratic leader. From there they marched to Zuccotti Park, the protesters' unofficial headquarters, where they refueled with snacks and hurriedly painted new signs as the strong scent of burning sage wafted through the plaza.
Competing drum circles went full speed on the north and south sides of the square as people continued to chant and march around the perimeter.
Susan Henoch, 63, of Manhattan said she was a "child of the '60s" and came out to the park for the first time Wednesday. She held a sign that read, "Enough."
"It's time for the people to speak up," she said. "Nobody's listening to us, nobody's representing us. Politics is dead.
"This is no longer a recognizable democracy. This is a disaster," she said.
Sterling W. Roberson, vice president for the United Federation of Teachers, said union members shared the same ideals as activists who have been camped out in sleeping bags for more than two weeks.
"The middle class is taking the burden but the wealthiest of our state and country are not," he said.
Some union members were there from other states.
Karen Higgins, a co-president of National Nurses United, came down with a group of colleagues from Boston. She said they had seen patients who skipped important medical tests because they couldn't afford them.
"Tax Wall Street," she said. "Those who make all the money need to start paying their fair share."
Roxanne Pauline, a coordinator for the Northeastern Pennsylvania Area Labor Federation, said some of her union's members plan to stay in Zuccotti Park over the weekend.
"They'll teach the younger people what unions are — that they're not thugs or mobsters, but working people," she said.
The Occupy Wall Street protests started Sept. 17 with a few dozen demonstrators who tried to pitch tents in front of the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, hundreds have set up camp nearby in Zuccotti Park and have become increasingly organized, lining up medical aid and legal help and printing their own newspaper.
The protesters have varied causes but have reserved most of their criticism for Wall Street. They've spoken out about unemployment and economic inequality, saying "we are the 99 percent" — in contrast to the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans.
Rachelle Suissa, 25, of Brooklyn, held up a sign that read: "I have a 4.0 GPA & $20,000 in debt. Where's my bailout?"
Since graduating from Brooklyn College about a year ago, Suissa has applied for at least 200 jobs but is still looking, and is finding it difficult to remain optimistic.
"I don't understand what's going on here," she said.
Several Democratic lawmakers have expressed support for the protesters, but some Republican presidential candidates have rebuked them. Herman Cain, called the activists "un-American" Wednesday at a book signing in Florida.
"They're basically saying that somehow the government is supposed to take from those that have succeeded and give to those who want to protest," the former pizza-company executive said. "That's not the way America was built."

All councilmembers and the mayor are up for re-election in Takoma Park, and they'll now have to answer to a new constituency.
"It's a small place and we're trying to make it possible for more people to part of our city government," says Councilman Tim Male.
Councilman Male is one of six councilmembers who voted for the measure that passed, allowing 16 and 17 year olds, along with convicted felons who have served their time, to vote in city elections beginning this November.
"It's not true for all 16 and 17 year olds, just as it isn't true for all adults, but there is a significant set of them who are very engaged," says Councilman Male.
At Takoma Bistro, a group of 18 year olds say they would have voted at age 16 if given a chance.
"If I had been voting when I was 16, I would have had two more years to be active in the community," says Julianna Jimreivat.
"I think it's a very politically active community," says Lara Skibbie. "I certainly would have voted if I had the opportunity at 16."
Inside the Magic Carpet, Deniz Kanter is not convinced.
"Sixteen is too young," Kanter says. "Maybe some 16 year olds are more mature, but most of them are not mature enough yet to understand what's going on."
Kanter thinks convicted felons should be allowed to vote.
The only councilmember who voted against the measure told ABC7 he thought the issue was so serious that it should be placed on the ballot as a referendum.
The law passed 6 to 1 and will take effect in 50 days.

This Is Your Brain On Neanderthal
Last week, geneticists dumped on us the somewhat disturbing fact that most of us have some Neanderthals in our family tree. Not a lot of them, mind you, but a few nonetheless.
Now, courtesy of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, you can get some idea of what your inner Neanderthal might look like.
The museum is releasing the MEanderthal iPhone app. It's a mobile version of a facial morphing station in the David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins.
No iPhone? No problem.
There'll shortly be an app for Droid phones on Google Marketplace, if it's not there already.
And there's also a video of what you can expect if you're a little apprehensive about jumping into your ancient gene pool.

Khojaly-1992 book in Harvard library
Baku, May 8 (AZERTAC). Copies of the "Khojaly-1992" book published by the Heydar Aliyev`s Heritage Research Center on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Khojaly genocide in Azerbaijani, English, French and Russian have been included in the Library Fund at Harvard University, Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Fuad Babayev said.
He said books prepared by the Heydar Aliyev`s Heritage Research Center, are published not only in the Azerbaijani language, but also in the common foreign languages.
"The Khojaly-1992 book, which was published in February this year, is also published in the languages of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh," he said.
Previously, it was also the subject of discussion in the parliament of Belgium, which held hearings on "Occupied territory - the forgotten areas: legal and humanitarian aspects of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh".
The Armenian military forces committed genocide in Khojaly on Feb. 26, 1992. Some 613 people were killed, including 63 children, 106 women and 70 old men. A total of 1,000 civilians were disabled during the genocide. Eight families were annihilated, 130 children lost one parent, and 25 lost both. Additionally, 1,275 peaceful residents were taken hostage, while the fate of 150 remains unknown.

NAPA – A new boat dock near Main and Fourth Streets is scheduled for completion in October on the west bank of the Napa River in front of the Pear Restaurant at the Riverfront development.
The 176-foot long and 10-foot wide floating concrete structure will be more than just a place for boating enthusiasts to tie up for dinner at local restaurants or for a stroll along the promenade – eventually it may usher in a new era of river enterprise with commercial tours, water taxis, gondolas and other vessels bringing guests from the Bay Area to Napa – as well as serving as a transfer point to disembark visitors destined for local resorts.
[caption id="attachment_79280" align="alignright" width="400"] The new Napa 176-foot long prefabricated concrete boat dock will be put in place in front of the Riverfront development this October in the area outlined by the float ring. The gangway will be in accessed from the gates shown on the promenade by the Pear Restaurant. Dredging work is completed and pilings are in place.[/caption]
"This project raises the larger issue of solidifying the riverfront vision and promoting economic vitality through improved boating access along the Napa River," according to Public Works Director Jacques R. LaRochelle, in a written presentation to the Napa City Council in July.
"Coordinated efforts are under way with the Napa Flood Control & Water Conservation District to find funding sources and engage the Army Corps of Engineers for dredging the Napa River channel to a six-to-eight foot depth from Mare Island Strait in Vallejo and on to the Third Street Bridge in Napa."
[caption id="attachment_79281" align="alignleft" width="400"] This engineering drawing shows the dimensions of the boat dock and the areas reserved for commercial use, public access, loading, kayaks and non-powered boats.[/caption]
Seventy feet of this dock will be reserved for commercial operators with permits. An additional 70 feet is designated for public use, and 36 feet is allocated for a loading zone. There is also a 13-foot detachable kayak launch and a designed 100-foot section for non-motorized boats on the shore side. A 40-inch wide gangway will extend 51 feet from the shore access gate to the dock.
"Localized dredging is under way now immediately underneath and in the vicinity of the floating dock and pilings are being set in place," said Napa Parks Superintendent David Perazzo.

Rally To Reform Measure 11 February 20, 2016Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , 3 comments
When Oregon voters passed Measure 11 in 1994, it established mandatory minimum prison sentences for specific crimes against people.
Now, after more than 20 years, those mandatory minimum sentences are being given a second look, and a rally to reform Measure 11 took place in Salem on Friday.
One group at the rally said they "want judges to decide prison sentences, not the DAs." Others held signs with messages: "Give 1st Time Offenders a Fair Chance" and "Time does not fit the crime".
Opponents of Measure 11
Among those urging reform at the state capitol Friday was Christine VanOrder, who was just 19 when she was sentenced to the mandatory minimum of just under 6 years for a 2nd-degree robbery.
The fact she was a first-time offender wasn't taken into consideration under Measure 11's rules.
VanOrder now is running for a state House of Representatives seat to try and change the system.
"I don't think my criminal history will inhibit me so much as give me the kind of perspective needed to really get some meaningful criminal justice reform going," she said. She's running for a seat in District 40, representing Gladstone, Oregon City, Milwaukie and parts of Clackamas.
Barbara Dickerson and Patty Youngblood are co-founders of Time Does Not Fit The Crime. Youngblood said the goal of the reform movement is to give first-offenders a chance.
Her son is doing 11 years for his crime.
"Oregon is now a 'One strike and you're out' state and we used to be 'Three strikes and you're out,'" she told KOIN 6 News. "There are a lot of first-time offenders in there and not even for a criminal or violent act."

Sentencing Reform is Alive and Well February 6, 2015Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , 8 comments
Julie Stewart spoke today about sentencing reform
Sentencing reform is alive and well! This week in Congress, identical sentencing reform bills were introduced in the House and Senate that would take a bite out of mandatory minimum sentences! The bills are called The Justice Safety Valve Act of 2015. They would give the court the ability to go below the mandatory minimum sentence when that sentence is clearly excessive for the defendant.
The main sponsors of the bills are Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Rand Paul (R-KY), and Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Robert Scott (D-VA). In 2012, these four men introduced the same bill, which died at the end of the last Congress. Now, they are the first to introduce a sentencing reform bill in the new Congress, which started January 1, 2015. They are committed to making sentencing laws fairer, stemming the growth of federal prison, and reducing the tax burden of unnecessary incarceration.And we love them for that!
The best way to thank them is to encourage your own Senator and Representative to support the Justice Safety Valve Act. Click here for a helpful email you can send to your Members of Congress.
It's exciting that sentencing reform is one of the few issues in Congress that has bipartisan support! We just have to make sure they do more than pay lip service to it! You can help by hounding your members of Congress. Don't forget – they work for YOU!
Bill advances that would give a break to some young sex offenders May 9, 2013Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , 2 comments
Some young offenders convicted of having sex with underage partners would be able to request the crime be removed from their records under a bill narrowly passed by the Oregon House on Wednesday.
Voting 31 to 27, the House sent the bill to the Senate with little discussion.
Under the bill, in order for adult offenders to apply to have their records erased, coercion or force could not have been used in the sex act. Other conditions include completion of all required court-ordered programs and treatments.
Proponents say the current punishment for such sex offenders does not fit the crime. Opponents say people convicted of sex crimes often reoffend and should not be able to have their records expunged.
"Individuals who commit sex offenses … this isn't their first time and it won't be their last," said Crook County District Attorney Daina Vitolins, who opposes the bill on behalf of the Oregon District Attorneys Association.
To say an act is consensual when it involves a person who is too young to give consent is indefensible and minimizes the law, Vitolins said.
The age of consent in Oregon is 18.
For offenders to have their records cleared under the proposed law, they could be no more than five years older than the victim, and the victim must be at least 14. For sex crimes committed by a minor, the victim must be at least 12 and the age difference can be no more than three years.
Young Offenders Moving Forward March 15, 2013Posted by FairSentencing in : Effects of Measure 11 , add a comment
The following this link is an article that a college professor co-wrote with two juvenile lifers: http://thesocietypages.org/specials/juvenile-lifers-learning-to-lead/
These offenders recognize the severe results of their actions and understand the huge debt they owe society. Read their story and learn about life through their eyes. A book is coming out later this year, and the photos in the article are from a Tumblr page that is a project of the professor's Inside-Out classes. Trevor helped create it in the Tumblr website in 2011 and then worked quite a bit on the submissions from last quarter.
Oregon commission considers easing Measure 11 sentences to spare more prison construction December 18, 2012Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , 9 comments
The state Commission on Public Safety is scheduled to vote this afternoon on a reform package that would roll back prison sentences imposed by voters under Measure 11 and Measure 57.
The change is part of an effort to corral the growing costs of Oregon's prison system, now costing taxpayers $1.3 billion in general fund in the current budget cycle. State officials say if nothing changes, taxpayers will have to fund add $600 million in the next 10 years to build and operate prisons to house 2,300 more inmates.
The commission is expected to consider removing mandatory sentences for three Measure 11 crimes – first-degree sex abuse, second-degree assault and second-degree robbery. Voters approved the tougher sentences in 1984.
The commission is being urged to also modify some sentences of Measure 57, targeted at repeat property and drug offenders.
The state's prosecutors have vigorously fought the changes. They proposed two of their own that will be considered today – reducing the harshness of marijuana possession and distribution crimes and eliminating prison as a sanction for felony driving while suspended.
Gov. John Kitzhaber is counting on significant reforms to come from the commission. He recently proposed a 2013-2015 state budget that includes no money for new prisons and a flat prison population, currently standing at 14,000. Corrections Department officials were anticipating opening vacant prisons in Salem and Madras and launching construction of a new prison in Junction City during the next budget cycle.
The governor instead is looking to beef up spending with counties so they can better manage those on probation and parole. He is recommending an extra $32 million for such work, but hasn't provided details on how the money would be used. State funding for community corrections work has eroded in recent years.
The Commission on Public Safety also is considering ways to release inmates sooner from prison if they meet certain conditions, such as completing in-prison schooling.
The commission also will considering making the Corrections Department more efficient by driving down the daily cost of an inmate from the current $82.48.
Kitzhaber is likely to support the commission's recommendations, and then it will be the Legislature's to chew over the reforms. Any sentencing changes likely wouldn't take effect until next year and wouldn't provide any reduction for inmates already convicted of the Measure 11 and Measure 47 crimes.
Harsh Mandatory Minimum Sentencing Law Example December 11, 2012Posted by FairSentencing in : Effects of Measure 11 , 1 comment so far
Here is an update from Julie Stewart:
If the case of Chris Williams does not convince you that mandatory minimum sentencing laws are cruel and stupid, nothing will. Williams operated a marijuana dispensary in Montana after voters in that state legalized the medical use of marijuana in 2004. Federal law still prohibits marijuana distribution, however, and Williams and his partners were indicted by the federal government in 2011 on drug charges. (The states' rights issue in this case is huge and very important but for the moment not what I want to tell you about.)
Williams wanted to exercise his constitutional right to a trial because he thought Montana's law protected his activity. But on September 27, a federal jury convicted Williams not only of drug crimes, but also of four counts of possessing firearms "in furtherance of" those crimes. Williams kept legally registered pistols and shotguns at his marijuana operation. He didn't use them to hurt anyone. In fact, he never even wielded them. He just had them.
Alas, being convicted of just having guns condemned him to the notorious gun "stacking" mandatory minimum: a five-year mandatory prison sentence for the first gun charge and 25 years in prison for each subsequent offense. Even worse, the law requires that the sentences must be served consecutively, one after the other!
As a result, Chris Williams, who was running a state-authorized marijuana dispensary in Montana, will get at least 80 years in prison when he is sentenced in January. (Five years for the first gun + 25 + 25 + 25 for the other three.) Killers, kidnappers, and rapists don't get sentences that long, but the judge who sentences Williams will not be allowed to consider that fact. Or any facts, really, because mandatory minimum sentences blindfold judges to the facts and circumstances of a crime and the defendant.
So when people ask you why you support FAMM, you can recite all kinds of very important statistics and facts about how counterproductive and destructive mandatory minimums are.
Or you can answer them with two words: Chris Williams.
And when they learn about this absurd case, they will get it. And they'll want to join you in supporting FAMM so we can kill mandatory minimum sentences like the one Chris Williams is likely to receive.
Help eliminate mandatory sentencing laws December 3, 2012Posted by FairSentencing in : Moving Forward , add a comment
Here is an update from Julie Stewart, President of FAMM:
Do you like free money? We do, especially when times are tough. Fortunately, FAMM has a chance to make a lot of free money – but we need your help.
From now until the end of the month, every tax-deductible donation you make to FAMM will be matched dollar-for-dollar by another generous donor. If you give us $50, we will get another $50 for free. Give $100 and we get a free $100. Or go big and contribute $5,000 and we will receive an extra $5,000 at no cost!
Free money! What's not to like?
This matching program lasts only one month so please give what you can today!
FAMM is the only national organization that is focused like a laser beam on eliminating mandatory sentencing laws across the country. We get no government money. We are lucky to receive some funding from supportive grant makers, but we rely for the rest on people like you.
I know you know how important this cause is so I am not going to blab on and on about how unjust, stupid, and wasteful mandatory sentences are. I just want to make sure you remember that – because of the matching program – now is the best time of the year to give!
Donations can be made by check or credit card. We do not recommend sending cash through the mail. Make a secure online donation by clicking here. When making your gift by check, please make your check payable to FAMM and mail it to:

Group Raises Awareness For Mandatory Minimum Sentencing For Youth October 31, 2012Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , 2 comments
On Saturday morning, about 100 Salem residents banded together at Riverfront Park in a run for justice. "Steps for Safety and Savings" 5K run/walk was hosted by Partnership for Safety and Justice, a nonprofit that is against Oregon's mandatory minimum sentencing law Measure 11 for youths under 18 years of age.
Organizer Cassandra Villanueva said volunteers and organizations in 20 states have similar events planned this month in an attempt to raise awareness of the issue involving incarceration of youth in adult courts.
Partnership for Safety and Justice estimated that 250,000 youth are charged, sentenced or incarcerated as adults each year nationwide. Oregon has charged 3,000 since Measure 11 was implemented in 1995.

For months, 12 Oregonians have been wrestling with the mathematics of justice in Oregon — who's going to prison, who's falling off probation, what percentage of new inmates are "low risk" or "nonviolent."
One number matters most: $600 million.
That's the estimated cost to taxpayers of continued growth in Oregon's prison population. Avoiding that means sending fewer people to prison. So how does the state contain costs yet keep citizens safer?
That's the vexing puzzle that's been handed to the state Commission on Public Safety. Members face a year-end deadline to offer detailed reforms to Gov. John Kitzhaber. What they come up with could affect everything from Measure 11 to marijuana sentences.
State forecasters say a growing population and tougher sentencing measures will add 2,300 people to Oregon's inmate count in the next decade. Changing that, the data suggest, will require backing off on sentences, sparing more people from prison, and spending more to keep offenders from committing new crimes.
Commissioners have been tutored on the mind-numbing data of criminal justice.
They've learned:
- Oregon's prison population is growing even as the national trend is to cut prison intakes.
- An increasing percentage of felons are sent to prison for nonviolent crimes.
- And, surprisingly, nearly half of those entering prison last year fouled up while already on probation or parole.
In short: Oregon's approach to punishment doesn't work as well as it could.
"I'm a lock-em-up-and-throw-the-key-away guy, but when you start peeling the onion, that's not the answer," said Dick Withnell, a commissioner and Salem auto dealership owner.
With data-crunching behind, commissioners are now framing reforms for Kitzhaber and the 2013 Legislature to consider. But math still will drive the work. Commissioners want a clear sense of how many prison beds would be spared with each change they propose.
"And if by chance we save some money, those dollars have got to stay within the criminal justice arena," said state Rep. Andy Olson, R-Albany, a commissioner.
Several commissioners said prison savings and more safety can be achieved by better monitoring felons on probation.
In 2011, judges sent 534 probationers to prison for "technical violations." Roughly half failed to follow rules such as staying away from drugs. The other half committed new crimes that by themselves wouldn't net prison time.
Supreme Court Justice Paul DeMuniz, chairman of the commission, said supervising a probationer costs the state $12 a day. Prison costs $85.
Oregon Walks to Get Teens out of Adult Court October 12, 2012Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , add a comment
In what organizers say is the first event of its kind in the Pacific northwest, Oregon juvenile justice advocates will hold a 5K run/walk this month to publicize a campaign to channel the state's 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds toward juvenile court.
"In 2009, my 15-year-old was convicted as an adult," said April Rains, a board member of the Partnership for Safety and Justice, a nonprofit group that aims to make Oregon's approach to public safety more effective and just. "I knew that he needed to be held accountable for what he did," said Rains, a one-time victim advocate. But, "what was shocking was how little support I got for my son and my family. He was a good kid, was involved with church, loved learning, loved taking care of animals. When he was charged with this crime, it was like none of that mattered."
Her son was charged with sex abuse I and sentenced to 75 months' incarceration, which he's now serving. The victim of the inappropriate touching was another family member, "so I was really seeing the situation from all sides," said Rains, "but I couldn't get the DAs to listen to what was best for our family."
Rains wanted her son charged as a youth, first, so he could get treatment while being held accountable. Second, she did not want to see a felony conviction follow him around the rest of his life.
Now 19, her son has completed treatment, gotten a high school diploma and welding certifications and is in his third term of college, all while serving in a juvenile facility.
But there was no way for him to go to a juvenile judge. In 1994, Oregon voters passed Measure 11, which set minimum sentences for several serious criminal charges like robbery and murder. It applies to all defendants aged 15 and older, including indictments in adult court.
A total 975 Oregonians have served or are serving time for M11 crimes committed when they were under 18, according to October, 2012 state statistics. Under certain conditions, they are allowed like Rains' son to serve time in a youth detention center rather than adult prison.
To help bring attention to family ordeals under Measure 11, Rains is serving as parent lead on the 5K Run/Walk for Youth Justice Awareness Month on Oct. 27 in Salem. YJAM began in October, 2008 in Missouri, founded by a mother whose 16-year-old son was convicted in adult court and committed suicide rather than face 30 years in prison. Events will be held in more than half the states this October.
Every state sets its own laws on the age of criminal responsibility, and many exclude certain serious offenses from juvenile court once the defendant is above about 14 to 17 years of age.

The Mawson Trail
Starting just north of Adelaide and travelling to the Outback town of Blinman in the Flinders Ranges, the Mawson Trail is the ideal option for mountain bikers wanting to travel through South Australia' s remote rural areas. Close to nine hundred kilometres long, the trail includes little-used country roads, State forest and national park fire trails, farm access tracks and unmade or unused road reserves. It avoids traffic and bitumen roads and leads cyclists into the remote areas of the Ranges.
The trail takes riders through the Adelaide Hills, traversing forests, farmland and historic towns such as Lobethal and Birdwood. It passes the world-famous Barossa wine region to the mid-north towns of Kapunda and Burra and, from here, winds pass the towns of Hallett and Spalding through the Bundaleer Forest and into the Flinders Ranges. The Mawson Trail is designed for mountain bike or sturdy touring bike use - it is not suitable for road bikes. There are several steep uphill sections and heavy rain on unmade tracks can make cycling very slow or impossible. However, spectacular views, abundant wildlife, unique flora and extensive vistas always reward the hard physical work.

Charter Schools Likely to Grow
Pascopella, Angela, District Administration
Is it a better option? Will students learn more, test better? These questions continue to linger around charter schools and charter districts.
While there is no definitive answer, what is certain is that charter schools help answer a demand of the No Child Left Behind Act. Charters are one option for students in low-performing schools who want to transfer to better schools. Already, policy makers in California, the District of Columbia and Pennsylvania have created charter districts. Charter schools exist in 40 states.
"I see more charter schools being created over the long term," says Todd Ziebarth, governance program director at the Education Commission of the States, which has created Nuts & Bolts of Charter Districts, a document to help districts create such schools. "It's really trying to give people and schools ownership of a school, which is important in this era of accountability," he says.
In charter schools, students have to meet state standards at the least. But schools can have higher standards. Some charter schools serve students who don't test well so these schools try to create meaningful accountability standards beyond tests scores, Ziebarth says.
Although Chicago is not a charter district, it does have 17 charters serving 10,500 students, or 2 percent of the total Chicago public school student population. …

If you really want to ease the country's dependence on oil—and therefore its vulnerability to oil spills—say most environmental groups, use less oil. That may seem an impossible task, considering that oil is used in everything from chewing gum to carpets to, ironically, the Dawn dish liquid being used to clean the oil off of pelicans and turtles in the Gulf of Mexico. But one change that will have a significant impact on your oil use is to try telecommuting. It will reduce your gasoline use, and it may also gain you a better work-life balance. Plus, it gets you out of road-rage-inducing traffic, which triples your heart attack risk. Assuming your employers are already on board with the idea (if not, here are a few ways to convince them that working from home benefits everybody), you may have other concerns about working from home.
Here are a few ways to make telecommuting easier, effective, and enjoyable:
• Set up your workspace. Make sure you have a designated spot in your home that will serve as a functional home office. If indoor space is at a premium, consider a backyard "work shed" similar to the garden offices that are so popular in England. A corner office surely can't beat a view of your backyard garden in bloom! As for the supplies you'll need to make your workspace work, the Clean Air Campaign has published a few checklists on its website so your home office will be equipped with the tools you need to function. These checklists also offer tips on speaking with HR and IT personnel at your company so they can better assist you with working from home.
• Silence any distractions. Crying kids and barking dogs do not a professional work atmosphere make. Treat your home office just as you would a regular office and line up child or pet care, if needed (or continue the care you were using when commuting). Make sure your spouse and other people living with you know your work hours and know not to disturb you during those times. Share these details with your employers when you pitch them your telecommuting plan, to send the message that you're committed to your work, whether you're doing it at home or at the office.
• Communicate. In order to keep your boss informed of your progress (and convinced you aren't spending all day walking your dog or having lunch with your neighbors), send him or her a list of tasks accomplished either every day or every week, depending on his or her preference. Include access to your company's internal instant-messaging software in your home setup so you can send quick updates if necessary, or install some other Internet chat software that allows you to communicate more quickly and easily.
• Find like-minded telecommuters. If the idea of spending all day at home alone strikes you as dull and lonely, find other telecommuters near you who would be interested in sharing a workspace. As interest in telecommuting grows, more opportunities for "co-working" have developed, in which multiple telecommuters or self-employed share an office space closer to their homes than their offices. It cuts down on commuting time and gives you exposure to other businesses and industries, which may help you in professional networking. There are a few Internet sites that will help you find co-working spaces in your area.

Border war with Ethiopia (1998-2000)
After independence, the sovereignty over many areas along the 1,000-kilometer border between Eritrea and Ethiopia was never officially determined. This had led to occasional skirmishes between the two armies in several locations. One such place was Badme, a western border locality that had passed under EPLF control in November 1977. According to several historical sources, on 6 May 1998 Ethiopian troops shot Eritrean soldiers near Badme. This incident provoked a heavy military response from Eritrea, soon matched by Ethiopia, which quickly escalated into war.
This was not the first time Eritrea had experienced a border dispute with one of its neighbours. On two occasions before it had disputes with Yemen regarding the Red Sea. The first, concerning Yemeni fishing in Eritrea waters, was settled by an agreement on 14 November 1994. The second about the sovereignty over the Hanish Islands, equidistant between the coasts of the two countries led to a three-day war from 15 to 17 December 1995 and the subsequent occupation of the Islands by Eritrean forces. Diplomatic resolution of the conflict having failed, the case was brought to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, which, after two years of proceedings, concluded that the Islands should be under shared sovereignty. Both countries accepted the ruling.
Similar to the disputes with Yemen, the conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia reflected deep-seated political differences and economic and political competition for markets and influence in the region. When the war for independence ended in 1991, anti-Ethiopian feeling led to tens of thousands of captured Ethiopians soldiers and an estimated 30,000 of their wives and children, many of whom were Eritrean, being expelled into Ethiopia. At the same time, the Governments in Asmara and in Addis Ababa, bound by ties developed during the armed struggle when the EPLF supported the TPLF to seize power in Ethiopia, developed good relations.
Eritrea renounced its claim to war reparations, and trade agreements with Ethiopia were concluded in 1992. Eritrea initially continued to use the Ethiopian currency Birr, opened its markets to Ethiopian companies and recognised Assab as a free port. However, conflicts over land, taxes on trade, monetary policy and the adoption in November 1997 of an Eritrean national currency, the Nakfa, led to further tensions between the two neighbors.
The 1998 war developed in three phases. The first phase saw Eritrean troops seize control over virtually all the disputed territory around Badme and on the Assab road. At the end of May 1998, a team of mediators which included Rwanda and the United States presented a proposal to the belligerents which invited them to redeploy their forces to positions held prior to 6 May the day of the initial incident in order to allow investigations and an agreement to demarcate the disputed border.
Eritrea rejected the proposition on 3 June, and intense fighting resumed until early February 1999. Several diplomatic initiatives to resolve the conflict failed in short order. By the end of February Ethiopia had retaken Badme and much of the disputed territory. On 27th February, Eritrea announced that it was ready to accept the OAU Peace Framework proposal, but Ethiopia refused and resumed its assault on Eritrean positions.
The last phase of the war started in May 2000 when Ethiopia opened a military offensive on three fronts: west of Badme; near Zalambessa; and close to Assab following which Ethiopian troops broke through Eritrean defences and, by mid-June, occupied the disputed territory and large parts of Eritrea. On 19 June, the two countries signed a cessation of hostilities before a peace agreement was reached on 12 December 2000, in Algiers. The Algiers Peace Agreement established a 25-kilometer-wide Temporary Security Zone (TSZ) on the Eritrean side of the disputed border, to be monitored by the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE), which was created by the United Nations Security Council in July 2000. The Algiers Agreement provided for the creation of a joint Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) under the auspices of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, with a view to issuing a definitive ruling on the demarcation of the border between the two countries.
Outnumbered and outspent, Eritrea suffered an enormous loss of economic resources and human lives. By the end of the conflict a couple of years later Eritreas economy was crippled and nearly a third of the population was dependent on food aid. The President, who had defiantly boasted about Eritreas self-reliant stance, was quick to negotiate deals for famine relief with the international community.

Justin Timberlake beatboxes with Brother Ali
Those of us who follow Brother Ali on Twitter were greeted with a funny anecdote this morning: At his show last night in Jackson Hole, the local hip-hop powerhouse was stage crashed by a man who grabbed a mic and started beatboxing. Since he didn't recognize the mystery guest, Brother Ali swiftly grabbed the mic and continued on with his set, only to learn that the surprise beatboxer was none other than Justin Timberlake. Ali invited JT back to the stage for a beatboxing and freestyling jam, part of which was caught on tape below.
According to Mike at Midwest Broadcast, who was the first to pick up on this story, Rhymesayers has some higher-quality video footage of the performance available, and they have promised to post it as soon as possible. We'll add the additional video to this post once it's live.
Here's the story, as told by Brother Ali on Twitter:
Last night in Jackson Hole WY was fun. This dude jumped on stage and started beatboxing.
Me being me, I snatched the mic from him and he got off stage. At the end of the song, BK tells me that was Justin Timberlake.
I ran and grabbed him and he beatboxed while I freestyled for about 15 minutes. -sorry JT. Thanks for rockin with us.
