Children caught in the legal system are consistently poorly represented. Many lawyers struggle with how to deal with children who are placed in the client role. This paper examines how lawyers must adjust their approach and focus on building a relationship with the child client–specifically communicating efficiently and effectively.

Breaking the Silence as Female Minority Writers

Historically, female minority authors have struggled with finding their voice in a society that forces their silence. Language has given these authors the ability to assert a place in history and define their identity and experience as both persons of color and women. Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and Sandra Cisneros’ The House on Mango Street demonstrate how powerful an author’s voice can be when they are able to record the experiences and history that has been excluded.

Handling Conflict in the 21st Century

Through this study, we wanted to see how many people prefer communicating and solving conflict through cell phone use, i.e. text messages/phone calls, rather than face-to-face interaction. We asked who they primarily communicate with. The data was gathered at NCU. Participants were handed a self-reported survey with questions about their conflict styles and different scenarios. This study collected data on how much time people spend on their cell phones and how they handled conflict using technology.
