Legal Research
Occasionally, my students and I publish articles that are focused largely on law. These have included historic child sexual abuse (Connolly & Read, 2003), the Youth Criminal Justice Act (Connolly, Lee, & Wayte, 2004), civil compensation (Samra & Connolly, 2004), mentally-ill offenders (Lavoie, Connolly, & Roesch, 2006), general principles of law affecting children (Connolly & Gordon, 2009), legal theory (Connolly & Coburn, submitted), use of testimonial supports in courtrooms (Chong & Connolly, resubmitted) and cyberbullying legislation (Coburn, Roesch, & Connolly, in prep).
