Restorative Justice in Practice by Michael P. Seng,Sheila M. Murphy Pdf
This collection of essays on restorative justice surveys the different contexts in which restorative justice can be utilized in the practice of law and elsewhere. Restorative justice is itself an elusive concept and the essays show how the meaning of restorative justice can shift depending upon the needs of the parties and the community. Restorative justice is not only related to criminal law and corrections. It is related to all aspects of life and law, including civil disputes, civil rights, interpersonal relationships, and personal growth and self-awareness. Consequently, the essays roam over many fields: housing discrimination, family disputes, the war on drugs, the death penalty, juvenile courts, the law school curriculum, torture, immigration, clergy sexual abuse, international conflicts, yoga, and self-healing. The book calls for action as well as reflection. Sheila M. Murphy is a retired Illinois trial judge. She was Presiding Judge of the Markham court.

Traditional "schools" of crime prevention, like the criminal justice model, social crime prevention or situational crime prevention, have proved to be too narrow and do not combine well with other approaches. However, each of these models provides important insights and contributions for reducing crime. By extracting the main preventive mechanisms of these diverse approaches, this book develops a more holistic, general model that consists of nine preventive mechanisms: building normative barriers to crime, reducing recruitment, deterrence, disruption, incapacitation, protecting vulnerable targets, reducing benefits of crime, reducing harm, and facilitating desistance. The measures to activate the preventive mechanisms may differ according to the type of crime, as may the actors in charge of implementing the relevant measures. However, Tore Bjørgo demonstrates how his model of crime prevention can be effectively applied to diverse forms of crime, from domestic burglaries to criminal youth gangs and driving under the influence to organized crime and terrorism. In doing so, this important book will be of interest to scholars and students of policing, security studies and criminology, as well as practitioners and policy-makers.
The Holistic Approach to Redefining Cancer by Caroline Mary Moore Pdf
This book is a holistic investigation into the inspirational self-healing of a seventy-three-year-old woman diagnosed in 2005 with multiple myelomaan incurable, relapsing, remitting cancer. After twelve years of remission without ever relapsing, the only available explanation from her doctors concerning her mysterious recovery has been Youre very lucky! As her mothers daughter and registered holistic counselor, the author went in search of the mysterious ingredient that proved essential to her mothers survival and recovery from cancer, demonstrating that luck was not the fundamental element that aided in self-healing but a profound collaboration between the body, mind, and soul, bringing attention to a necessary shift in human consciousness, a new model of empowerment supported by recent epigenetic research that challenges many of our assumptions and misconceptions concerning disease. As we decode and clarify the mysterious ingredient called luck, the powerful impact that personal responsibility and conscious choice actually bestow upon us becomes apparent, and the author invites us to free our minds, embrace our bodies, feel our emotions, and nourish our souls. The Holistic Approach to Redefining Cancer introduces a new paradigm demonstrating that when different levels of human consciousness collaborate together, they become a driving force powerful enough to transform a life-threatening disease like cancer into an experience of profound self-healing of the mind, body, and soul.
International Law, Conflict and Development by Walter Kälin,Robert Kolb,Christoph Spenlé,Maurice Voyame Pdf
Experience and research have long shown an intrinsic link between human rights, conflict and development. This interdependence between different areas, doctrines, and disciplines calls for a genuinely coherent, holistic approach in International Affairs. With the challenges the work for the protection and respect of humanity encounters, this book intends to bring together articles and ideas that indicate the complexity of such an endeavor. The chapters, written by academics and practitioners encompass snapshots of crucial development lines as well as conceptual ideas and frameworks. In doing so the book provides insight to the principal understanding that peace efforts, encapsulating human rights, conflict management and development, can only be sustained and flourish as long as conflicting parties have at least a minimal consensus and will to settle their differences peacefully. As a Liber Amicorum for Joseph Voyame the book honors the determination for humanity and respect for human dignity and peaceful mitigation of conflict which marked his life and work.

This book discusses the dominant corrective justice and distributive justice approaches to private law and identifies their strengths and weaknesses. It goes on to propose a general approach to private law, including contract, tort and private property, and explains how it can provide solutions to some longstanding problems. Two general ideas inform this approach: the 'standpoint limitation' and 'remedial consistency'. The standpoint limitation explains the distinctive character of private law, that is to say why it is focussed mainly, though not exclusively, on particular individual interests rather than the common welfare. Remedial consistency explains the way in which remedies depend on and give effect to primary rights. The book also discusses the nature of common law legal reasoning and its relationship to the suggested understanding of private law.
Be the lawyer you want to be, not the one you were told to be. Remember why you wanted to become a lawyer? You wanted to make a difference, help others, and create positive change both inside and outside the profession. You still do. But the legal profession, by design, puts us in a box, restricting our creativity, and blunting connection. In fact, we're conditioned to disengage from others and from ourselves to be better at our jobs. We put on a lawyer mask and become imposters. Today's leaders cannot be held back by these limiting restraints. Lawyers are made to lead. We strive to be good counselors, good advocates, and even good adversaries. Good leadership, however, is ultimately about showing up as yourself. And to do that, we need to be free to be ourselves without having to leave the profession. We can be lawyers and be authentic. In The Lawyer Leader, author Ritu Goswamy, Esq., invites you to step into a more authentic, more powerful version of yourself, and learn how going deeper within can help you guide your colleagues and create change in the legal profession by going deeper within. Whether you've read Ritu Goswamy's The New Billable Hour and The Holistic Lawyer or not, this book is for you: a lawyer ready to step up and lead. Join those of us in the profession actively guiding our colleagues, clients, and society to a new era. "Well-written, concise, evocative, and heartening, this book will help any lawyer (and law student) connect to the lawyer leader within." - Rodney O. Fong, Legal Educator The Lawyer Leader is a great read! As attorneys it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and not take the time to do the things necessary to make us better practitioners. This book helped me refocus and recalibrate, and I can see myself reading it yearly as a means of re-energizing myself and my practice. - Duane O. King, Esq., Author of Stop Talking. Cut the Check.: Everything You Need to Know When You Get Injured in an Auto Accident "A practical guide for how to lead your own life by lightening your load, slowing down, and re-prioritizing, so that you have enough clarity to share your purpose and truest, "best self" with others." - Nadeen Aljijakli, Esq.
