<title>Workplace Bullying and the Role Restorative Practices Can Play in Preventing and Addressing the Problem</title>

	<![CDATA[
	<p>This article builds on my previous work on K-12 bullying and bullying in college and universities.  Much like school bullying, workplace bullying, including violence and harassment, disrupts individuals and the companies for which they work.  Currently, companies, policymakers and academics around the world struggle with the best approach for addressing this inappropriate behavior.  In a recent article, Professor David Yamada invited academics and practitioners to consider how therapeutic jurisprudence may impact the problem of workplace bullying.   Accepting Professor Yamada’s invitation to join in this dialogue, I urge companies and policymakers that seek guidance on this issue to look to forward-thinking schools and juvenile justice systems that incorporate restorative principles and practices.  These institutions report positive results and less problem behavior after using restorative practices. Companies likewise can benefit from using restorative practices when addressing bullying.</p>
<p>This article documents the prevalence of workplace bullying and the human and capital costs of such behavior.  The article then briefly describes the concept of restorative practices and analyzes the benefits and opportunities the approach would have in the context of workplace bullying.  The final section of the article explores potential roadblocks to implementing restorative practices in the workplace and concludes by offering concrete ideas on future steps companies and policymakers should take to implement restorative practices.</p>

<title>A Legal Response is Necessary for Self Produced Child Pornography:  A Legislator&apos;s Checklist for Drafting the Bill</title>

	<p>This Article explores self produced child pornography, known in the media as “sexting,” and offers a balanced, multi-faceted approach including both a legal response and education.  Currently, states are modifying their laws because applying existing child pornography statutes to self produced child pornography results in a punishment which does not fit the crime.  The author analyzes and critiques these proposed statutes finding none adequately address the multiple facets of the self produced child pornography problem.  The Article concludes by offering a checklist of important provisions legislators should consider and proposed language legislators can incorporate into their bills.  Policymakers and scholars will gain an excellent summary of both the problem and the arguments advanced by scholars studying the issue, as well as a template for solving the problem after reading this Article.</p>

<title>Pretrial Publicity in High Profile Trials:  An Integrated Approach to Protecting the Right to a Fair Trial and the Right to Privacy</title>

	<![CDATA[
	<p>The growth and influence of nontraditional media and the convergence of these technological platforms on mainstream media brings a host of new issues surrounding media coverage of high profile trials. Hardly a new phenomenon, the media has made a business of covering high profile trials since before the founding of this nation. But the advent of blogs in 1999 and the growing influence they have on the public further complicates the issue. In addition, adoption of more nontraditional delivery platforms, such as blogs, by traditional media as they strive to retain and enlarge readership confirms the growing influence of these nontraditional sources of information for the public. The impact this technology has on the controversy surrounding media coverage of trials, especially celebrity prosecutions, provides ample fodder to ask whether current United States' media practices and the courts' regulation of these practices best serve the individuals involved, the public and the criminal justice system.</p>
<p>Any response to this pretrial publicity explosion needs to be rethought in light of today's new world of communication. This Article analyzes and evaluates many of the current approaches used to balance pretrial publicity against the right to a fair trial and the right to privacy. Concluding these frameworks fail to adequately protect individuals' rights, the Article explores and evaluates suggestions offered by other commentators. Finally, the Article concludes by finding none of these suggestions work but proposes an alternative approach which better balances the freedom of speech, the right to a fair trial and the right to privacy, all of which should be respected as important values in our society.</p>

<title>Student Designed Webpages - Does Title IX or the First Amendment Apply?</title>

	<![CDATA[
	<p>School districts can be liable for peer-on-peer harassment when the school has actual knowledge of harassment, acts with deliberate indifference, and the harassment is severe and pervasive enough to deprive a student of educational benefits. It is unclear whether a school district could ever be liable for their response to harassing behavior that occurred off school grounds and after school hours.</p>
<p>This creates a major void in the law because off-campus student designed web pages are becoming more and more common. The web pages are highly critical of other classmates and are written in explicit, often vulgar language.</p>
<p>This article explores the tests courts are creating for regulation of student speech and prevention of peer-on-peer harassment and the tensions that result. In light of the sheer number of such pages, this article is not just a far-flung theoretical discussion. Instead it focuses on issues that schools must confront every day.</p>

<title>A Missed Opportunity To Abandon the Reasonable Observer Framework in Sacred Text Cases:  McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky &amp; Van Orden v. Perry</title>
<link>http://works.bepress.com/susan_kosse/12</link>

	<![CDATA[
	<p>This Article examines the reasonable observer framework in Establishment Clause cases, specifically in relation to the two most recent Ten Commandments decided by the Supreme Court. Part One describes the evolution of Establishment Clause jurisprudence from the three-prong Lemon test to Justice O'Connor's endorsement test and the various definitions of a reasonable observer as applied by federal courts. Part Two summarizes the history of Ten Commandment cases in the United States Supreme Court and examines, in detail, McCreary County v. ACLU and Van Orden v. Perry, the two recent sacred text decisions. Part Three analyzes and describes the inherent problems with the reasonable observer framework. Finally, Part IV recommends the elimination of the current reasonable observer framework and proposes the adoption of a new framework which presumes an improper purpose when the government displays a sacred text. This proposed presumption of unconstitutionality test may be rebutted if the government demonstrates that the sacred text is used either in a de minimis fashion or is sufficiently narrowly tailored such that a logical connection exists between the sacred text and the surrounding theme at the site of the display. Substituting this new framework in the adjudication of sacred text cases would eliminate the current problem of different results for identical displays.</p>

<title>How Best To Confront the Bully:  Should Title IX or Antibullying Statutes Be The Answer</title>
<link>http://works.bepress.com/susan_kosse/4</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://works.bepress.com/susan_kosse/4</guid>
<pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 10:42:15 PDT</pubDate>
<description>
	<![CDATA[
	<p>This article examines liability for peer-on-peer sexual harassment in the context of bullying under Title IX and state anti-bullying laws. Part II describes the persistent problem of bullying in school and its extremely harmful effects on students. Part III explores the background of Title IX and the evolving law regarding peer-on-peer harassment. Part IV proceeds to summarize state anti-bullying laws, while Part V analyzes which legal approach, Title IX or anti-bullying statutes, is best to protect children from peer-on-peer sexual harassment at school. The article then argues that both Title IX and anti-bullying statutes are necessary to protect our children because Title IX does not cover those forms of harassment that do not fit the definition of sexual harassment or are not of adequate severity. Despite the importance of anti-bullying statutes, many currently existing statutes are flawed because they are too deferential to local schools. The article concludes by offering practical suggestions to legislatures when drafting anti-bullying statutes.</p>
