As a 1960s closed-records adoptee (resident for the first half-year of my life in a Catholic church-run institution in Montreal) I had expected to be quite moved – if not a bit traumatized – by Cai
Invitation to trusteeship rather than treat? Higher Education, human rights and student litigation: A response to Fulford (2020)
This article argues that, as tutors, we are bound not only by the rules of contract law (i.e., to avoid breaching the terms of that which was agreed to), but also by our duty of care, and the principles of human rights law that protect the right to education. We must strive to avoid negligent acts and any potentially harmful practices or policies. Looking to recent litigation, we are bound also to provide useful, meaningful guidance on how learne…
Jane Eyre and Social Justice: How to Survive a (Victorian) "Witch" Trial
This article argues that Jane Eyre was both "witch" and witch-trialed. Her ability to perform "witchcraft" (within the framework of Victorian folklore) enabled her to endure and ultimately triumph over a litany of ordeals often associated with the witch-trials, namely, unjust accusations, societal and familial exclusion, poverty, abandonment, and physical and psychological abuse. She overcomes all obstacles with the help of heartfelt incantations…
That “Vaulty Night”: Trials, Testimonies, and Critiques of Justice in Beckett’s Panopticon Prison-stage
Beckettian justice avoids the usual scripts of judicial processes: his trials and punishments merge, as his captive characters lock themselves into eerily repetitive, self-questioning loops of semi-existence. His prison-cell courtrooms critique the wider socio-cultural symbolism associated with indefinite incarceration and unduly harsh sentences, questioning whether retributive sanctions have the power to redeem, or to spark atonement. By turning…
Justiciability of Human Rights Law in Domestic Jurisdictions
"This collection of 16 essays by 19 contributors calls into question the notion of domestic justiciability across a wide range of human rights issues, such as health, human dignity, criminal justice, property and transitional democracy. The authors offer critical analyses of a number of rights frameworks, focusing in considerable detail upon specific countries (e.g. Libya, Colombia, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Nig…
The ‘Earned Privilege’ of Family Contact in Northern Ireland: Judicial Justification of Prisoners' Loss of Family Life
Our ‘carceral society’ often conspires to effect a continuum of punishments far beyond that needed to extinguish ‘behaviour and bring about attitude change’ in offenders ( Hudson 1993 , p.32). Recent jurisprudence on family life during incarceration has inverted the concept of the right, framing it as ‘earned privilege’ and linking it to subjective notions of good behaviour. 1 This has created a sub‐category of the right, also diminishing its nor…
