Sisters in Pain

Battered Women Fight Back

By: Linda Elisabeth LaPinta,Mary Angela Shaughnessy

In 1995, Kentucky governor Brereton Jones granted parole to ten women who had been convicted of killing, conspiring to kill, or assaulting the men who had abused them for years. The media began referring to them as the "Sisters in Pain," a name they embraced. These are their stories. Linda Elisabeth Beattie and Mary Angela Shaughnessy's interviews of seven of the Sisters in Pain detail the physical, sexual, or psychological abuse they suffered at the hands of their husbands or boyfriends, battery beyond comprehension. Anyone who has ever asked, "Why don't they just leave?" will come to understand the interconnected strands of abuse that make just living through another day a personal triumph. Beattie and Shaughnessy address the pervasive nature of domestic violence in America and explore the legal ramifications of fighting back. Their interviews with the Sisters in Pain reveal the ways in which these women have picked up the pieces of their shattered lives and learned to face the future.

A Primer on School Law

A Guide for Board Members in Catholic Schools

By: Mary Angela Shaughnessy

This booklet provides prospective and current Catholic school board members with basic information concerning civil law as it affects schools in general and Catholic schools in particular. Chapter 1 describes the two main types of Catholic school boards: consultative boards, in which the pastor of the diocese has final authority to accept the recommendations; and boards with limited jurisdiction, constituted by the pastor to govern the parish education program, subject to certain decisions reserved to the pastor and the bishop. Chapter 2 outlines the laws affecting Catholic education in the United States, including constitutional law, statutes and regulations, common law, and contract law. Chapter 3 discusses tort liability of schools, focusing on cases brought against schools for negligence, corporal punishment, search and seizure, and defamation. Chapter 4 discusses the duties and rights of school employees, particularly with regard to discipline and dismissal of teachers. Chapter 5 discusses the duties and responsibilities of board members to the diocese and church, to the principal, to teachers, and to parents, students, and the community. The concluding chapter offers general recommendations to Catholic board members for dealing with tort law, for developing a parent/student handbook that expresses the school board's philosophy, and for adhering to due process. A glossary of terms is included. (TE)

Selected Legal Issues in Catholic Schools

By: Mary Angela Shaughnessy

This book examines legal issues that affect Catholic high schools. Chapter 1 discusses sources of the law and how fairness and due process, federal and state statutes, and various guidelines shape the law. Tort law, corporal punishment, search and seizure, defamation of character, and negligence are covered in chapter 2. Chapter 3 details issues surrounding student privacy and such issues as confidentiality of records, whereas chapter 4 describes the staff-student relationship and how the law governs confidentiality, sexual misconduct, physical contact, and other behaviors. Since student confessions can be an important part of the teacher-student relationship, legal aspects of confidentiality, legal immunity, case law, the student journal, and school retreats are discussed. Chapter 6 looks at child abuse and neglect and considers statutory guidelines, inservice education, who should file a child-abuse report, and teachers and abuse. Sexual harassment is treated in the next chapter, which includes an overview of actions that constitute harassment and suggested policies for addressing reports of harassment. Other topics receiving treatment include accommodating students with special needs, extracurricular and cocurricular activities, personal conduct of professional staff, gangs, copyright law, school handbooks, and Catholic-school finances. Each chapter includes a section for reflection and discussion. (RJM)

The Law and Catholic Schools

Approaching the New Millennium

By: Mary Angela Shaughnessy

The laws affecting education in the United States today can generally be classified according to four categories: (1) Constitutional law (both state and federal); (2) statutes and regulations; (3) common law principles; and (4) contract law. Students and teachers in private schools are not protected by federal Constitutional law because they are private agencies. For example, Catholic school administrators can restrict both student and teacher speech. In the Catholic school, contract law is the predominant governing law. The existence and roles of all parties involved in Catholic schools are governed by canon law, the law of the Catholic Church. Although civil courts will not allow religious institutions to evade legal responsibilities by invoking church law, churches have significant autonomy within the wide parameter imposed by civil law. After an overview of law as it pertains to Catholic schools, the next three chapters explore the legal duties and responsibilities of those involved in Catholic schools: bishops, pastors, principals, board members, teachers, students, and parents of students. The final section looks at some special situations such as corporal punishment, search and seizure, negligence, child abuse, and copyright laws. The book concludes with a detailed glossary and an index. (65 references) (MLF)

School Handbooks

Some Legal Considerations

By: Mary Angela Shaughnessy

Questions arise as to what should be placed in handbooks for students and parents, for teachers, and for school board members. These questions are addressed within the framework of how state and federal laws and regulations affect Catholic (private) schools. The first chapter provides an introduction to the laws affecting the administration of Catholic schools. The following three chapters, which deal respectively with handbooks for faculty, parents/students, and members of boards of education, contain lists of items that should be in such handbooks, discuss the legal implications of what is said about each item, and provide suggestions on wording that might be used. A glossary of terms, a 38-item bibliography, and an index conclude the book. (SI)
