Our Child Attorney Partners
An attorney assigned to represent the interests of a child in a child custody case is usually known as a best interest attorney or guardian ad litem. Generally, these lawyers are appointed at the request of either parent, either of the parent’s attorneys, or the court. The attorney representing the child is committed to the child’s interests alone and does not to take sides in the custody debate but rather to make an independent recommendation to the court as to the child’s needs and which parent will be able to fulfill the best interests of the child.

Death Row, U.S.A.
At 12:01 A.M. tomorrow, Texas, which makes a habit of capital punishment, plans to execute Gary Graham, a black, for a murder committed a dozen years ago, when he was 17 years old. Elsewhere in the West, he would not be put to death. President Clinton supports the death penalty. But his record in his first two-year term as Governor of Arkansas, in which he reduced the life sentences of 38 murderers, suggests he may have held a different view. He lost his first re-election race in part because his Republican opponent denounced him as soft on crime. After regaining
40% on Death Row Are Black People, New Figures Show
Amid a Congressional debate on how to impose the death penalty, the Justice Department reported today that blacks still make up a much larger share of death-row inmates than of the nation's population. The department's Bureau of Justice Statistics said that as of Dec. 31, 1990, blacks made up 40 percent of the prisoners who had been sentenced to death. The 1990 census found the United States population is 12.1 percent black. In 1987, the Supreme Court ruled that statistical evidence of racial discrimination was insufficient to render death-penalty statutes unconstitutional. That ruling came in the case of Warren McCleskey,
House Backs Appeal Of Death Sentences If Race Bias Is Issue
The House of Representatives passed a major crime bill today after approving an amendment that would permit prisoners under death sentences to seek reversal of their sentences if they could produce evidence suggesting a pattern of racial discrimination in prior state cases.

Suspension of Executions Is Urged for Pennsylvania
A committee appointed by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court recommended yesterday that the state halt executions until the effects of possible racial bias in capital cases are better understood. ''There are strong indications that Pennsylvania's capital justice system does not operate in an evenhanded manner,'' the committee wrote. ''Empirical studies conducted in Pennsylvania to date demonstrate that, at least in some counties, race plays a major, if not overwhelming, role in the imposition of the death penalty.'' Blacks are overrepresented on death row in Pennsylvania by all measures, the report said, with 62 percent of the inmates. Pennsylvania is, the report
In Dallas, Dismissal of Black Jurors Leads to Appeal by Death Row Inmate
Carol Boggess says she was ''eager and willing to serve'' on the jury in the 1986 capital murder trial of Thomas Miller-El in Dallas. When questioned by prosecutors, Ms. Boggess, an occupational therapist, said she strongly supported capital punishment and ''had no doubt at all'' that she could sentence a person to death. Wayman Kennedy, a Sunday school teacher and church deacon, also wanted to be on the jury and told prosecutors he felt confident of his ability to impose a death penalty. So did Billy Jean Fields, a postal worker. Mr. Miller-El is black. He was charged with shooting
Fashion; In Fitting Room, a Little More Equality
LEAD: For many women, finding the perfect dress or outfit is only half the battle. Then, it must be altered. For many women, finding the perfect dress or outfit is only half the battle. Then, it must be altered. Women frequently have to pay for such services, though basic alterations have commonly been provided to men at no charge. Stores and tailors say altering women's garments is generally more complicated than it is for men's. But Saks Fifth Avenue has begun providing basic alterations to skirts and dresses at no charge as part of a settlement of a sex-discrimination suit
Race inequalities exposed in public sector
Figures collated by the Mayor of London found that almost 200,000 Londoners from minority communities work in health, local government and other sectors but remain on the lower steps of the career ladder. According to the report, compiled from various official research projects including the 2001 census, minority workers progress more slowly to higher grades within services such as local authorities or the NHS - and remain concentrated in certain positions. " Race discrimination and race inequality damage lives and mar the positive development of progress of London's black and minority ethnic groups " Ken Livingstone The report comes a
Government report says American society has not eliminated racism
The laws of the United States meet the requirements of an international treaty on eliminating racism, but American society itself has not achieved that goal, according to a new federal report. In its first-ever analysis of U.S. compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the U.S. government admitted that racism remains a stubborn problem despite an ongoing "vigorous" debate about it and efforts over the past 30 years to stamp it out through laws. Researchers cited several incidents over the past decade that have served as sharp reminders of the need to
We’re holding the first national police conference on disability
As coordinator of the world's only police disability network, my job is to make it easier for the police service to employ and serve disabled people. Basically, 45 police organisations have joined the Employers' Disability Forum including most of the regional forces such as Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, and Northumbria Police, along with some of the national organisations such as the National Crime Squad. There are 8.6m people who are disabled in Britain. A police officer will come into contact with them on a regular basis in a variety of roles - victims of crime, suspects, witnesses, protesters, or just as people
Mandatory Retirement Is Age Discrimination
It was disheartening to read "Older Doesn't Mean Wiser" (Op-Ed, Oct. 26) by Gerhard Casper and Saunders Mac Lane, wringing their hands at the prospect that on Jan. 1, 1994, tenured professors at universities, like almost everybody else, will be spared the ignominy and injustice of mandatory retirement. These two scholars, who should know better, trot out a tired array of arguments. None of these arguments are backed by hard facts. Innovations in education, we are told, generally come "from young faculty members"; older ones are stuck with "what they learned when they were young." This has not been my
