Careful adherence to these parameters is made difficult, however, by the lack of clarity about where the relevant boundaries are drawn. Using a project that provides legal assistance for refugees as a case study, this article highlights the challenges that the unclear distinction between \"legal information\" and \"legal services\" creates for access to justice initiatives. We conclude that the uncertainty can carry a variety of significant costs -- including financial expense, human resource burdens, and unnecessary limits on program innovation -- in a sector where affordable and creative solutions are desperately needed as a result of a persistent access to justice crisis. Ultimately, it is not merely the under-resourced access to justice sector that bears these costs, but rather disadvantaged individuals and society as a whole.","PeriodicalId":89609,"journal":{"name":"Northwestern journal of law and social policy","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90471969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, governments in Canada have increased efforts to address bullying in schools primarily through the adoption of laws and policies. This paper examines these measures using a child rights framework, based on Canada’s international legal obligations. It examines the language of child rights and human rights that is present in these efforts, as well as the content of legislation and policies.

This article will consider the various exemptions to the First Amendment which allow for the government to regulate or restrict certain types of unprotected speech. While there are many similarities between justifications for these doctrines and those that would justify preventing provocative speech such as images of Muhammad, the differences are even more significant and show why it would be unwise to allow the restriction of such provocative speech. Most significantly, every single category of unprotected speech has something intrinsic in the speech or the intent of speaker which makes the speech less valuable in some way. In contrast, punishing provocative and otherwise fully protected speech solely because of the reaction it engenders would be an anomaly because it would impose speech restriction purely for extrinsic reasons. It would be a terrorist’s veto allowing those opposed to an idea the ability to suppress its expression through threats of violence. Such a veto would offend the core First Amendment principle that “constitutional rights may not be denied simply because of hostility to their assertion or exercise.” Just as the heckler’s veto which the Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected, such a terrorist’s veto is impermissible under the First Amendment.","PeriodicalId":89609,"journal":{"name":"Northwestern journal of law and social policy","volume":"12 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68214657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
