Ukrainian government has already taken some important steps to ensure harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with the highest international standards, new Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine was adopted in 2012 – but still this process cannot be considered as complete.

An article & two responses that discuss the establishment of an interdisciplinary perspective that combines legal theory & political science perspectives are presented. Rather than assert that such an interdisciplinary approach is feasible, Karen J. Alter contends that legal theory & political science perspectives can collaborate but are ultimately incompatible. Specifically, it is claimed that legal theory & political science are concerned with distinct enterprises, eg, whereas legal analysis is largely a normative endeavor, political science is primarily a positivist venture. Additional attention is directed toward discussing the different methodologies & styles of writing used in legal & political science scholarship. A rationale for encouraging collaboration between the two disciplinary approaches is also offered. In response, Renaud Dehousse questions the validity of Alter's contention that legal theory & political science are incompatible. It is subsequently asserted that the European integration movement necessitates scholars from both disciplines to incorporate methods from the other discipline since the European Union combines politics & law. In response, Georg Vanberg emphasizes the importance of Alter's argument yet suggests that legal theorists must dedicate additional attention to questions of empirical testing in comparative studies. Moreover, both legal theorists & political scientists are urged to examine the circumstances that provide authority to principled legal arguments. 28 References. J. W. Parker

The past year generally has been another quiet one for children's legal issues in Virginia, although it was a busier than normal year in the United States Supreme Court with the grandparents' visitation case, the Texas high school football game prayer case, a significant Title I case involving the provision of instructional material to religiously operated schools, and the gay Boy Scout leader case. Not as much occurred at the state level, with little legislation of great significance to children and youth being enacted at the 2000 General Assembly session. However, a succession of cases interpreting and applying Baker v.
