Abstract:

In this three-article dissertation, I explore access to civil justice issues from several dimensions. Existing data tells us that poor households are significantly less likely than moderate- and high-income households to attempt to resolve civil justice problems, and that black households are significantly less likely than white households to attempt to resolve civil justice problems through formal means. However, we do not know why. The first article finds that among poor respondents, past experiences with public institutions, both legal and non-legal, contributed to a personal narrative ab

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to examine whether it is morally defensible to use lifestyle as one of the criteria for rationing health care. I argue that it is not justifiable to use former lifestyle to select patients for treatment. Chapter one outlines the principles of the NHS and discusses the reality of rationing in health care provision in Britain. I maintain that there is a prima facie legal and moral right to health care and explore whether this right imposes a responsibility on individuals to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Chapter two critically examines some of the criteria, which are use

South Africa has seen an influx of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees since 1994, and this migratory movement has posed significant challenges to the post-apartheid legal order. This thesis is concerned with the State’s implementation of its constitutional obligations to protect and guarantee the constitutional rights of everyone within the borders of South Africa. I

Abstract:

Abstract Unlike litigation and arbitration, mediation is a more informal way to settle disputes. The process has been considered to be quick, cheap and interest-based and it is said to promote amicable settlements. Yet mediation is not commonly used as a dispute resolution method in Sweden today. However, mediation as a dispute resolution method is promoted by the EU institutions and the European Parliament and the Council has adopted a directive which will secure that the EU citizens, in some cases, will have the possibility to choose extrajudicial mediation as a dispute resolution method.

This is a sociological study of the types of relationships which people have and goes beyond the three state recognised marriages to look at other more informal unions and at the modes of dissolution thereof.

Abstract:

This study investigates the problem of access to justice for female victims of sexual violence (SV) in refugee camps, using South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda in a multiple case study. The main argument of this study is that female refugees in refugee camps, are not adequately pro- tected by those responsible to safeguard them against sexual violence and the myriad of perpe- trators of such sexual violations may never be apprehended, prosecuted, or convicted. Thus, refugees who are victims of sexual violence in refugee camps do not even have the opportunity to testify against their as

Premised on the fact that access to justice is essential, if rights are to be actually enjoyed, this thesis set out to examine the extent to which refugees and asylum seekers are able to access justice in South Africa, both for the enforcement of their rights and to settle disputes or other interests at law. In doing this, the thesis examines the obligations that South Africa owes to refugees and asylum seekers on access to justice, and how it gives effect to those obligations.

An increased likelihood of abandonment, abuse and discrimination highlights the need for the South African justice system to be ready and able to receive children with disabilities and provide them with access to appropriate redress.

This dissertation assesses how liberal theories of justice balance the ideas of choice and circumstance and why these explanations fall short. This dissertation will show how we can progress naturally from libertarian intuitions about moral agency through to a developed liberal account of justice. I will work through the theories of Robert Nozick, John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin and Philippe Van Parijs. By assessing these theories I will argue that liberal justice can balance the concern for individual choice and circumstance appropriately but that this requires specific developments of the liberal

Master of Public Health<br>Department of Kinesiology<br>Andrew T. Kaczynski<br>Background: Parks are key community assets for promoting physical activity, especially in low income areas where other accessible, low cost resources may not be available.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine disparities in park availability, features, and quality across socioeconomically and racially diverse census tracts (CTs) in Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO).

This thesis asserts that the factors relat ing to youth contact with justice systems are bes

Another problem for the Canadian legal system is the high rate of dissatisfaction among young lawyers – particularly the high rate of attrition among women and minorities. This thesis s
