Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the features of concluding contracts in the field of tourism services. The purpose of the article is to consider the contract as a form of implementation of tourism services. The authors have analyzed the practice of Russia and the United States in this area. Special attention has been paid to the specifics of these legal relations, as well as the directions of using foreign experience in the activities of national tourism companies. As a result, it has been concluded that legal regulation of the contract for rendering tourism services in these countries is somewhat similar. However, in Russia, this institution is regulated at the federal level and in more detail, which indicates the greater effectiveness of Russian legislation in this area. It has been proposed to make some changes and additions to the current Russian legislation in order to more fully regulate this institute.

AbstractIntroduction:Although emergency medical services (EMS) liability litigation is a concern of many prehospital health care providers, there have been no studies of these legal cases nationwide and no local case studies since 1987.Methods:A retrospective case series was obtained from a computerized database of trial court cases filed against EMS agencies nation-wide. All legal cases that met the inclusion criteria were included in the study sample. These cases must have involved either ambulance collisions (AC) or patient care (PC) incidents, and they must have been closed between 1987 and 1992.Results:There were 76 cases that met the inclusion criteria. Half of these cases involved an AC, and the other cases alleged negligence of a PC encounter. Thirty (78.9%) of the plaintiffs in the AC cases were other motorists, and 35 (92.1%) of the plaintiffs in the PC cases were EMS patients. Almost half of the cases named an individual (usually an emergency medical technician or paramedic) as a codefendant. Thirty-one (40.8%) of the cases were closed without any payment to the plaintiff. There were five cases with plaintiffs' awards or settlements greater than [US] $1 million. Most (71.0%) ofthe ACs occurred in an intersection or when one vehicle rear-ended another vehicle. The most common negligence allegations in the PC cases were arrival delay, inadequate assessment, inadequate treatment, patient transport delay, and no patient transport.Conclusion:Risk management for EMS requires specific knowledge of the common sources of EMS liability litigation. This sample of recent legal cases provides the common allegations of negligence. Recommendations to decrease the legal risk of EMS agencies and prehospital providers are suggested.

Abstract: Russia consistently supports the return of interstate cooperation to the framework of generally recognized principles and norms of international law with the central coordinating role of the United Nations. Russia insists on stopping the "hunting" of American special services for Russian citizens in third countries, returning them to their homeland, who were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment in the United States under far-fetched pretexts. It is necessary to correct the problems artificially created by Washington with cooperation on legal assistance, to normalize the conditions for the functioning of our diplomatic and consular institutions in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
Having adopted the Constitution in 1993 and declared itself a social state, the Russian Federation assumed the duty not to exert power over its citizens, but to provide them with services. However, the provision of services has become a new, previously uncharacteristic area of activity of the state apparatus. Given this, the issue of creating a qualitatively new system of public administration in Russia was of particular relevance. Since the early 2000s. its decision is directly related to the «administrative reform», in which, among other things, the term «public service» was introduced into domestic legal circulation. Currently, the issue of improving the efficiency of public services is still on the agenda, because in the sphere of realization of citizens and organizations of their right to receive public services remains unresolved a number of problems, the main of which is the lack of a full legislative framework governing the institution of public services. The author, having carried out a comparative legal analysis of the administrative legislation of the Russian Federation with the legislation of the United States, which is considered more progressive in this area, attempts to identify the most significant advantages and disadvantages of the current domestic legal framework in the provision of public services. Taking into account the findings, the author formulates proposals aimed at improving the efficiency of management decisions in the provision of public services.

Full textAbstract:
A challenge presents itself when pharmacy students and pharmacists have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to provide optimal patient care, which can prevent the healthcare industry from incurring expenditures reaching billions of dollars annually from chronic and acute disease state management, yet due to the lack of statutory or regulatory authority to independently prescribe and dispense smoking cessation products they are unable to tap into this potential. Prescriptive authority of pharmacists is not a novel concept; however, State Legislatures and Boards of Pharmacy have been slow to expand upon the pharmacist’s scope of practice to include this authority. As a consequence, this inaction hinders the opportunity of almost 21.5 million patients, who attempt to quit smoking annually, the ability to access a U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved, evidence-based medication-assisted or nicotine replacement therapy prescribed by a pharmacist.2 Current legislative efforts, laws, and regulations regarding a pharmacist’s prescriptive authority for tobacco cessation therapy vary greatly amongst the states and do not include reference to e-cigarettes or electronic nicotine delivery systems (e.g., e-cigs, vape pens, vapes, mods, etc.). Additionally, pharmacists are often required to practice under a statewide protocol or enter into a collaborative practice agreement (“CPA”) with a designated physician, which are often complex and create significant barriers for the pharmacist to practice at the top of their license and for the benefit of the patient. This legal and regulatory study reveals the following: 1) Those States that have addressed or attempted to address the pharmacist’s prescriptive authority for tobacco cessation therapy, 2) the authority to independently prescribe vs. practice under a statewide protocol, 3) the products able to be prescriber or dispensed under the pharmacist’s prescriptive authority or statewide protocol, and 4) the guidelines and/or protocols referenced within their respective State laws and regulations. States and their residents would benefit greatly from amending their laws and regulations to expand upon the pharmacist’s prescriptive authority, granting them the ability to help their communities by performing services they are highly trained to perform.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses ethical concerns in the legal profession and the challenge of not only providing legal services, but ensuring that the public has access to them. The author asserts that the whole profession is under an obligation to render legal services pro bono publico. Such has been the tradition since the beginning of the profession in thirteenth century Europe. The article follows the history of pro bono work since medieval times, and compares the system in the United States with that in Canada. In the U.S. there is a greater commitment by firms to provide pro bono work, whereas in Canada, it tends to be on a more ad hoc basis. Canadian lawyers too often assume that government-funded legal aid systems adequately meet the public's needs. Legal aid, however, is facing increasing financial challenges. Moreover, a large number of Canadians who do not meet the eligibility requirements cannot afford to retain a lawyer. There is a need for a modified pro bono program that will assist not only the poor, but the working class as well.

Full textAbstract:
Civil legal services in the United States are increasingly unaffordable and inaccessible. Although the causes are complex, law schools can help in three ways beyond simply offering free legal clinics staffed by lawyers and students. Law schools can teach the next generation of lawyers more efficient and less expensive ways to deliver legal services, ensure that educational debt does not preclude lawyers from serving people of modest means, and conduct and disseminate research on alternative models for delivering legal services. These strategies will not solve all of the problems that exist, but they hold the promise of meaningfully improving the affordability and accessibility of civil legal services.

In January 1998, the Department of State released its Publication 10518, Consular Notification and Access: Instructions for Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement and Other Officials Regarding Foreign Nationals in the United States and the Rights of Consular Officials to Assist Them. Prepared in the Office of the Legal Adviser, the booklet contains “instructions and guidance relating to the arrest and detention of foreign nationals, deaths of foreign nationals, the appointment of guardians for minors or incompetent adults who are foreign nationals, and related issues pertaining to the provision of consular services to foreign nationals in the United States.” The foreword points out that cooperation of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in ensuring treatment of foreign nationals in accordance with the instructions not only will permit the United States to comply with its consular legal obligations domestically, but also will help ensure that the United States can insist upon “rigorous compliance by foreign governments with respect to United States citizens abroad.”

Full textAbstract:
The healthcare systems of the United States and United Kingdom are vastly different. The former relies primarily on private sector incentives and market forces to allocate medical care services, while the latter is a centrally planned system funded almost entirely by the public sector. Therefore, each nation represents divergent views on the relative efficacy of the market or government in achieving social objectives in the area of medical care policy. Since its inception in 1948, the National Health Services (NHS) of the United Kingdom has consistently emphasized equity in the allocation of medical services. It has done so by creating a system whereby services are universally free of charge at the point of entry. Conversely, the United States has relied upon the evolution of a perplexing array of public and private sector insurance schemes centered more around consumer choice than equity in allocation.

Full textAbstract:
As telehealth gains momentum as a service delivery model in the United States within the rehabilitation professions, regulatory and legal questions arise. This article examines the following questions:1. Is there a need to secure licenses in two states (i.e., where the practitioner resides, and where the client is located), before engaging in telehealth?2. Do state laws differ concerning if and how telehealth can occur?3. Do any states expressly disallow telehealth?4. Can services delivered through telehealth be billed the same way as services provided in-person?5. If practitioners fulfill the requirements to maintain licensure (e.g., continuing education obligations) in their state of residence, do they also need to fulfill the requirements to maintain licensure for the state in which the client resides?6. Will professional malpractice insurance cover services delivered through telehealth?7. Does a sole practitioner need to abide by HIPAA regulations?Responses to these questions are offered to raise awareness of the regulatory and legal implications associated with the use of a telehealth service delivery model

Full textAbstract:
Through preferential free trade agreements (FTAs), the United States seeks to secure concessions in sectors, such as cultural and audiovisual services, from which to set precedents for its next trade liberalization endeavours. Insisting on wide-ranging liberalization and predictable, clearly defined trade rules, the United States has used a top-down or negative list approach. Hence, sectors and measures, in the fields of services and investment, not specifically excluded are covered by liberalization commitments. On the other hand, states are encouraged to use a wide array of financial and regulatory instruments in the pursuit of cultural policies under the 2005 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Cultural Diversity Convention, which the United States has strongly opposed for its potential trade-restricting effects. In view of the deadlock in current multilateral trade negotiations, the hortatory character of the provisions of the Convention, and the US stance on the treatment of cultural goods and services in international economic exchanges, US FTAs are to prove the main source of legal constraints as to states' ability to pursue cultural policies.

Reforming outmoded systems of guardianship requires that governments assess personal support and related services. U.S. policy-makers and reformers in individual states have begun to question how current guardianship laws may disempower individuals with mental disabilities. This article explores some remarkable legal and public policy innovations in Sweden that replace guardianship with personal support services such as mentors, administrators, “kontakt” persons, and personal assistants. It then examines the impact of Sweden's reforms on the autonomy, independence, and integration of its citizens and discusses possibilities for similar changes worldwide.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common and most expensive malignancies worldwide, requiring periodic cystoscopy in most cases. Access to urologists within the United States is impaired by decreasing number of physicians in this specialty. Nurse-led cystoscopy services have been established in the United Kingdom and Australia and found to provide equivalent services while improving patient satisfaction and access to care. Nurse practitioner cystoscopy should be evaluated as a potential method to improve patient access to specialized urologic care in the United States. This article will review the literature on nurse practitioner cystoscopy and the legal and ethical implications of this practice.

Full textAbstract:
The work of private military and security contractors is extremely controversial from the point of view of international law and of practice. Sometimes there are doubts as to whether some of their activities should be considered legal activities or illegal mercenarism. Like any other entities using force, they can violate human rights as well as international humanitarian law. They provide their services to, amongst others, states and intergovernmental organisations, including the un. This requires a precise definition of the rules under which such contractors operate, both with regard to the law of treaties and the domestic law of the entities using their services. A question also arises as to whether there is any legal limit to their services being used by intergovernmental organisations, i.e. entities deriving their competences from the will of their member states. The work of the un is an interesting example here. The organisation uses such contractors, but on the other hand, it undertakes various activities to eliminate any potential threats in this respect.

Abstract This article studies the protection of retail and professional investors when financial products are sold or when investment advice is given. To this end, it clarifies the similarities and differences in the legal setting governing investment services firms in Germany and Japan, with a particular focus on a) the persons to be protected, b) information to be provided and c) private enforcement. Although regulatory structures are largely divergent in these two jurisdictions, the legal situation converges in several important points in relation to lawmaking in the European Union and the United States. Those convergences appear informative for the development of laws in jurisdictions other than Germany and Japan.

Full textAbstract:
Legal self-help is the fastest-growing segment of legal services in the United States, and a significant addition to the repertoire of programs aimed at opening up access to justice in the civil legal system. Few studies, however, have examined how such services work in practice. Through ethnographic research and analysis of meetings between unrepresented litigants and attorneys offering advice in a legal self-help clinic, this article expands the empirical investigation of access to justice to consider what legal self-help looks like in actual practice. In this article, I follow the concept of the “right paper” to analyze the process through which legal self-help litigants develop legal literacy, including the role of lawyers in helping them to do so. The article concludes by discussing what such practices reveal about recent efforts to open up access to justice and also about the dynamics through which people come to think about law and, especially, how to use it.

Full textAbstract:
The Legal Services Corporation is the United States' largest funder of civil legal aid for low-income Americans. The LSC funds legal-aid programs that serve households with annual incomes at or below 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline. Legal-aid clients face a wide variety of civil legal problems: wrongful evictions, mortgage foreclosures, domestic violence, wage theft, child custody and child support issues, and denial of essential benefits. This vital work is badly underfunded. The shortfall between the civil legal needs of low-income Americans and the resources available to address those needs is daunting. Federal funding is necessary because support for civil legal aid varies widely from state to state. The LSC uses the “justice gap” metaphor to describe the shortfall between legal needs and legal services. Narrowing the gap is central to the LSC's mission.

Ideally, justice is a universal good: the law protects equally the rights of the rich and powerful, the poor and marginal. In reality, the major share of legal services goes to business entities and wealthy people and the prestige and prosperity to the lawyers who serve them. This essay deals with the history of access to justice–chiefly civil justice–and with the role of lawyers and organized legal professions in promoting and restricting that access. In the last century, legal professionals and others have taken small steps to provide access to legal processes and legal advice to people who could not otherwise afford them. By doing so, they have inched closer to the ideals of universal justice. Though the organized bar has repeatedly served its own interests before those of the public, and has restricted access to justice for the poor, it has been a relatively constructive force.

Palliative care is becoming increasingly pertinent to be strengthened across health systems around the world, and the United States is not an exception. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted provision and access to palliative care among patients with serious and complex illnesses, critically ill persons, and their families in the United States. Prior to the emergence of the pandemic, the United States faced a number of challenges ranging from racial discrimination, a stressed medical workforce, a lack of passable reimbursement for palliative care, and legal barriers, among others. Unfortunately, these issues have gotten worse amid the pandemic. This further revealed the need to invest more in innovative strategies that will ensure the provision of palliative care services during public health emergencies. In this article, we comment on the current state of palliative care in the United States.

AbstractIntroduction:Many states in the United States ‘have developed policies that enable prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) providers to withhold cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the terminally ill. Several states also have policies that enable the implementation of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders.Objectives:1) assess which states have statutes governing DNR orders for the prehospital setting; 2) determine which states authorize DNR orders in ways other than by specific state statue; and 3) define those states that had regional protocols which address prehospital DNR orders.Methods:Survey of the state EMS directors in each of the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.Results:As of 1992, specific legislation authorizing the implementation of DNR orders was in place in 11 states. In addition, six others have a legal opinion or policy allowing the implementation of DNR orders. Fourteen additional states have either working groups or legislation pending that address prehospital DNR orders. In only five were there no existing regional protocols for implementation of DNR orders in the prehospital setting.Conclusions:There exists great variation in legal authorization by states for implementation of DNR orders in the prehospital setting. Despite the existence of enabling legislation, many state, regional, or local EMS systems have implemented policies dealing with DNR orders.

Military reproductive health policies affect large numbers of women. In 2006 servicewomen numbered nearly 350,000 and comprised 14.5% of active-duty forces and 17.4% of the reserve force. In addition, approximately 165,000 female dependents of active duty military personnel and 157,000 female dependents of reserve duty personnel are between the ages of 12 and 22 and are eligible for military health care services. Dependents of military personnel are eligible for military health care coverage until age 21, or up to the age of 23 if considered a full-time student.About 10% of active duty female servicemembers become pregnant each year. Pregnant servicewomen are considered non-deployable and are usually not assigned to overseas commands. Pregnant women in the Army, the service branch with the greatest number of women on active duty, can choose to remain on active duty, request temporary leave from service, or request separation from service. Separation options include either discharge, honorable or uncharacterized depending on rank, or transfer to individual ready reserve.

Full textAbstract:
Digital technologies are now extending its function to the legal profession. But the existence of these technologies otherwise known as legal tech or law tech is challenging the traditional legal profession. The nature of legal practice regulation in Malaysia and the United Kingdom (UK) permits only lawyers and authorised persons as legal service providers. As a result, the legal tech or law tech companies although able to facilitate the service in the legal profession are met with resistance and/or indifference. Should the traditional legal profession fear the invasion of this legal tech? This article aims to analyse the situation in Malaysia and the UK. It examines the impact of technology on legal service and legal profession in Malaysia and in the UK. The article also highlights the implication of this legal technology on the laws governing the legal profession in Malaysia. Through analyses of key Malaysian cases, the study finds that the Bar Council has the power to halt the operation of legal tech companies in providing any legal service in this country.As a result, the Bar has been criticised for being a hindrance to the development of legal tech in Malaysia. In contrast, the UK and the United States of America (US) have been very receptive to legal technology despite the exclusivity in the legal profession.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) purportedly assures almost all Americans of the right to health insurance coverage. The long-term success of this legislation in improving the public’s health in the United States will likely hinge in no small part on the degree to which statutorily establishing a right to health insurance coverage translates into actual timely, meaningful access to health services, particularly physician services, for specific individuals.

Background: Ethics consultation is the traditional way of resolving challenging ethical questions raised about patient care in the United States. Little research has been published on the resolution process used during ethics consultations and on how this experience affects healthcare professionals who participate in them. Objectives: The purpose of this qualitative research was to uncover the basic process that occurs in consultation services through study of the perceptions of healthcare professionals. Design and Method: The researchers in this study used a constructivist grounded theory approach that represents how one group of professionals experienced ethics consultations in their hospital in the United States. Results: The results were sufficient to develop an initial theory that has been named after the core concept: Moving It Along. Three process stages emerged from data interpretation: moral questioning, seeing the big picture, and coming together. It is hoped that this initial work stimulates additional research in describing and understanding the complex social process that occurs for healthcare professionals as they address the difficult moral issues that arise in clinical practice.

The paper identifies the positive and negative factors in the development of US economic and trade activities. The United States, as a huge consumer and producer of goods, is a major player in trade and stimulates economic growth, supports jobs, improves living standards and helps Americans provide their families with affordable goods and services. The sphere of trade in the USA, both domestic and international, has been studied, as well as the process of accounting and taxation is related to trade at various levels. General scientific methods (formal-legal, statistical, comparative-legal, system-structural, historical and others), as well as specific sociological (documentary, observation, study of documents), which provided scientific, novelty and reliability of research results are used in this investigation. Accounting is one of the key functions of almost any country and any business. The difference between the accounting of Ukraine and the United States is insignificant, as our country uses rules close to international standards. Taxation in the United States is quite complicated. Today, US governments apply different types of taxes in different proportions, depending on which collected tax revenues are used for and how the population reacts to taxes. All known taxes can be divided into six main categories: taxes on income, income and capital gains; taxes on wages and labor; property taxes; taxes on goods and services; taxes on international trade and transactions; other taxes. Sectorial features that affect the organization and reflection of these operations in accounting: goods – tangible assets acquired (received) and held by the enterprise for resale; trade activity – independent activity of legal entities and individuals in the implementation of transactions of purchase and sale of consumer goods for profit; wholesale trade - trade activity on acquisition and realization of the goods in large parties to the enterprises of retail trade, other subjects of enterprise activity; retail trade – trade in the sale of goods individually and in bulk directly to citizens and other consumers, mainly with cash payments. Without international trade, it is almost impossible for any country to develop financially, politically and economically, and in the interests of every nation – to make strong international trade and relations with world leaders to overcome all difficulties very easily.

Full textAbstract:
The development of infrastructure construction project has been difficult due to limited sources of funding, and the traditional mode of investment and financing for infrastructure construction has gradually revealed many drawbacks due to such practical factors as limited local financial resources. With the expansion of the periphery of the subject matter, financial leasing has subsequently become one of the most popular forms of infrastructure investment and financing. However, compared with the United States and other developed countries where the financial leasing system originated, the legal system of financial leasing in China is not yet sound. Since real estate can be used as the subject matter of financial leasing transactions, China’s lack of legislation in the legal regulations of infrastructure leasing and financial services has inevitably led to many risks and challenges in the specific operation of the business. Based on the analysis of the legal dilemma faced by China’s infrastructure finance leasing, this paper discusses the way forward to improve infrastructure finance leasing, with a view to providing some reference for the further development of infrastructure finance leasing in China.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses the problems of determining the legal status of drivers of the Uber online platform in the European Union states and the United States of America, where the Uber activities have been perceived by licensed taxi services and trade unions as a threat to fair competition and the social and labor rights of citizens. The authors analyze the arguments of the judicial and administrative bodies of the European Union states and the United States of America, which examined the appeals and claims of drivers, trade unions or transport companies. For comparison, the arguments of Russian courts on disputes about determining the legal nature of the relationship between the similar Uber online platform — Yandex.Taxi and its drivers are analyzed. Based on surveys that questioned the drivers and the analysis of online platform advertisements aimed at attracting drivers to work in the taxi service, the authors conclude that there are signs of actual use of drivers labor without formalizing labor relations and, accordingly, without providing them with social and labor guarantees.

Full textAbstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly impacted frontline workers’ health in 2020. The objective of this commentary is to evaluate some of the challenges faced by undocumented farmworkers in the context of the current global pandemic and possible risk mitigation strategies. Undocumented farmworkers make considerable contributions to the U.S. economy and food production, but they are at an elevated risk for contracting Covid-19. Their risk is compounded by their employment and legal status, as well as their poor working and living conditions which makes it difficult for them to observe Covid-19 precautionary measures. U.S. immigration policy disincentivizes undocumented farmworkers from seeking healthcare services. Contact tracing challenges could be overcome by gaining trust with subsequent increased testing and care. Extending eligibility of safety net programs for undocumented farmworkers will help to ease the burden of Covid-19, thereby improving their overall health and productivity.

Full textAbstract:
This contribution examines comparatively the national laws of the United Kingdom and Italy transposing the provisions of consumer credit advertising as set by the Consumer Credit Directive on account of its review. The Consumer Credit Directive is a full harmonization measure that aims to create a single market in the area of consumer credit with a high level of consumer protection. At the same time, the provision on consumer credit advertising offers a legal choice to Member States as regards its transposition into domestic law. The United Kingdom and Italy have opted for different legal choices. The ultimate question is the extent to which the Directive achieves its goal of creating an internal market and an adequate standard of consumer protection in advertising credit services to consumers. A comparison of the two jurisdictions suggests otherwise. This is due to a combination of the limited scope of the Consumer Credit Directive, its full harmonisation character, and the transposition of the legal choice explicitly left to Member States by the law.

This article outlines the importance of international clinical service learning in the area of legal education. The article describes two mobile legal clinic projects in Nepal that are part of an international collaboration between Forum for Nation Building (FNB), a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Nepal, a university professor hailing from the United States, law students and professionals. Law students and professionals were recruited to be clinic volunteers and trained to form mobile legal aid clinics. Both projects began as a collaborative effort between a Nepal-based NGO and a professor from the United States seeking to obtain funding to serve distressed populations in Nepal. Since earthquakes and other natural disasters cause an immediate harm and threat of harm to residents of the area, the initial response is to provide food, clothing and shelter to the most vulnerable sections. However, once the initial shock is over and basic needs are met, many persons including survivors of domestic violence among these displaced populations will have legal problems which will need to be addressed. Although stationary clinics are important in providing services to such communities, they may be inaccessible or otherwise unknown to those in greatest need who do not possess the means to travel even a modest distance to reach them. This article will discuss how mobile clinics can be used to provide legal aid on various issues including domestic violence to survivors of natural disasters with specific reference to the earthquake that devastated Nepal in 2015.

Full textAbstract:
Rape crisis centers (RCCs) were established during the mainstream anti-rape movement in the United States during the 1970s. In the decades that followed, RCCs began to depend on governmental grants to stay open, shifting the antagonistic relationship that existed between many RCCs and state structures. Previous research has conceptualized this RCC institutionalization as a reluctant concession requisite to the continuation of victim services and the anti-rape movement. This article draws upon three years of ethnographic research and 40 interviews at a United States RCC to illustrate how institutionalization facilitated one RCC’s complicity in the expansion of the carceral state. I propose the transformation of this RCC illuminates a sexual assault response “bait and switch” that serves carceral agendas. I reach this conclusion using data drawn from three themes: (1) the outsourcing of the hotline and conversion to criminal-legal victim services, (2) criminal-legal integration that did not expand the influence of the RCC, and (3) the facilitation of the criminalization of victims through a process of net widening. Building from previous research, these findings document the result of criminal-legal integration at one RCC: the expansion of the carceral state into the center, to the detriment of victims and efforts to end sexual assault.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic catapulted the use of telehealth services across the United States (US). In response to the public health emergency, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the US Department for Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a notice relaxing privacy and security safeguards outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). During the past two years, several novel legal issues have arisen due to these lenient standards. The US government has not adequately considered standardizing rules for remote telehealth consultations and regulating the flow of sensitive patient data in a post-COVID world. This article addresses key legal issues associated with telehealth services while recommending national standards to mitigate physician liability while prioritizing patient care.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of labour has come about with the economic activities of some persons or legal entities. The production of a good or service is carried out in accordance with the mutual business relationship. Along with the proletariat, which emerged in particular with the industrial revolution, legal rules have been required for the rights and obligations of workers and employers. This legal business relationship, which is mainly industrial, has doubts about its validity in the agricultural sector. Since the agricultural sector is based on a household labour force, a structure based on business contracts for procurement of goods and services from outside is quite rare. The lack of institutionalization in the agriculture sector, the absence of the agricultural proletariat, the intensification of self-employed households, and the lack of work contracts for seasonal workers have led agricultural employment law to remain a subsidiary of labour law only in developing countries like Turkey. In North America, especially the US and Canada, the agricultural labour law is a special legal entity within the legal system. The United States and Canada are governed by a federal system of governance, with each state having its own legal regulations as well as specific regulations. The aim of the study is to present work on agricultural labour law in the United States and Canada from North American countries and to compare it with agricultural labour law studies in Turkey. In this context, the legal regulations on agricultural wages, seasonal and migrant workers, child labour, social security and occupational health are examined in the United States and Canada and compared with Turkey's existing legislation.

Introduction The purpose of this study was to gain information from parents in the United States about their children with albinism. The article focuses on information and services related to medical care and low vision care. Methods An online questionnaire was used to collect data, and parents had opportunities to submit additional information. One hundred ninety-two families, representing 223 children with albinism from 40 U.S. states, completed surveys. Results A snapshot of the data indicates that for 8.6 out of 10 families, there were no known relatives with the condition; 55.8% of the children had visual acuities that met the criteria for legal blindness in the United States; and 48% of the children using optical devices had received clinical low vision evaluations by optometrists or ophthalmologists who specialized in low vision. Implications for practitioners The data gathered suggest recommendations for medical service providers, including clinical low vision specialists who perform evaluations for improving the functional use of vision.

AbstractIn 1956 the United States government allowed the Territory (now State) of Alaska to select 404,695 hectares of land to provide specifically for mental health services for Alaskans. State legislatures have since tried to place this land into private ownership because of the ‘highest and best use principle’ of land management. ‘Strict usage principle’ opponents have countered with legal action, the result of which is to place the land in a status where it serves neither proponent groups. The question raised by this piece of land history is whether, in a federalism such as the United States, it is possible to use land to serve dedicated social needs.

Les marchés publics confèrent aux différents paliers gouvernementaux une force de frappe qu'ils sont susceptibles d'utiliser pour atteindre des objectifs économiques et sociaux en plus d'obtenir des biens et services de qualité à un prix raisonnable. Ceci donne lieu à l'élaboration et à la mise en oeuvre de politiques d'achats. Ces politiques prennent rarement la forme de lois et de règlements mais sont adoptées le plus souvent par voie de directives, d'énoncés de politique et de pratiques administratives. Toutefois, ceci ne signifie pas qu'il n'existe pas de cadre juridique des politiques d'achats. Les dispositions de la Loi constitutionnelle de 1867 relatives au commerce interprovincial et international, de même que les droits à l'égalité et à la mobilité enchâssés dans la Loi constitutionnelle de 1982, servent de cadre juridique minimal aux politiques d'achats. À ces normes s'ajoutent les obligations internationales du Canada à l'intérieur du cadre de l'Accord général du G A TT et, pour le Gouvernement fédéral, le Code des marchés publics adopté lors du Tokyo Round. La mise en oeuvre de l'Accord de libre-échange canado-américain viendra apporter une nouvelle limite à l'autonomie des initiateurs de politiques d'achats publics.

Community-embedded law practices are small businesses that are crucial in addressing the legal needs that arise in neighborhoods. Lawyers in these practices attend to recurring legal needs, contribute to building a diverse profession, and spur community development of modest-income communities through legal education and services. Solo practitioners and small firm lawyers represent the largest segment of the lawyer population in the United States, yet their contributions to addressing the legal needs of modest-income clients are rarely recognized or studied. This essay sheds light on the characteristics, motivations, and challenges these law practices face in providing access to justice to modest-means communities.

Trademark functions as a distinguishing mark between goods and/or services of its kind, as well as an identification mark for goods and/or services from the producer concerned. In order to be a well-known and widely recognized mark by the world community, and also to gain a good reputation it requires a very high investment to maintain quality and perform massive promotions in many countries. Considering this, lawful protection of well-known marks is a must. This research uses a normative juridical method by examining regulations and analyzing the previous studies, as well as other relevant legal materials to determine the criteria of well-known marks and the law protection provided for well-known marks in Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that the regulation of the criteria for well-known marks in Indonesia still does not set concretely the minimum number that must be met for each criterion. Furthermore, in principle, Indonesia provides legal protection for well-known marks, both registered and unregistered in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the consideration of the problem of civil liability for harm caused by goods with increased hazardous properties is determined by the fact that such cases occupy an increasingly important place in judicial practice. This shows that not only the legal awareness of citizens is growing, but the very definition of “goods with increased dangerous properties” does not have all the principles of specificity. In this regard, one can turn to the experience of other countries, especially those where consumer protection has proven effective. The United States is one of such countries, where not only the culture of consumption is high, but also the legal culture. This combination allows the American legal system to respond to citizens ’appeals in a timely manner and resolve issues with an objective review of cases where liability for damage caused by goods with increased dangerous properties is considered. In the United States, the definition of civil liability for manufacturers and sellers of goods and services is governed by federal and state laws. Moreover, it is the laws of the states in most cases that govern the most important aspects related to determining the shortage of goods, services and work. It should be noted the importance of the precedent in the US legal system, which also determines many cases for determining civil liability for harm caused by some properties of goods. To compare the fundamentals of the legislation of the two countries in the studied area, the comparative legal research method was applied, which allows us to highlight general and excellent legislative norms. Based on the results of the comparison, it was concluded that the similarities and differences between the American and Russian legislation in terms of civil-steam liability for damage caused by goods with dangerous properties.

It highlights the need and sources of objective and reliable information for the legislature. The structure and functions of parliamentary research services of developed countries such as the United States, Canada, and France have been studied to provide scientific and information-analytical support to their parliamentary activities. Deep analysis of the activities of scientific services of parliaments (USA, Great Britain, South Korea, The Republic of Turkey), which have the most advanced experience in this field, is of particular importance in understanding the essence and content of providing scientific and information-analytical activities of the parliament. The analysis of the practice of scientific services of foreign parliaments shows that their status, content, object and subject of study and research methods are somewhat different. An important role in their activities is played by the scientific examination of decisions adopted by the Parliament and draft laws prepared, as well as the scientific justification for conducting parliamentary control. The method of comparative analysis given in this article will cover the history of the existence of Parliamentary Research Services and will serve to improve the provision of scientific and information-analytical activities of the chambers of the Oliy Majlis.

The U.S. and Canadian health care systems are more similar than is commonly believed. This article debunks some of the powerful myths about these health care systems and opens up the discussion for greater policy learning from both sides of the border. Cross-border comparisons can yield a number of lessons from common policy challenges such as cost control, physician organization and payment, and the organization of health coverage and services for Native Americans and Indigenous Canadians.
