Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Childhood and the Law in Canada: The Family/State Relationship provides comprehensive case reviews of six leading Canadian decisions regarding the relationships among children, their parents, and the state. Each chapter provides the facts of the case, places these facts in historical context, and closes with a discussion of the social implications of the law, subsequent statutory reform, and ongoing public debates. The book is intended for use in courses on childhood and the law in the Canadian context and provides exceptionally complete materials for briefing and/or mooting the cases presented. It will be welcomed by instructors, researchers, students, and a wider audience of those interested in children’s legal rights and status.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
