I ordered a couple of sizes up, and I look forward to seeing our babies wear this next year. Once again, the item was clearly well-made—soft with just the right amount of stretch.

I foresee many adorable photo ops in this taco romper. We are huge sushi fans in this house. I would definitely order from Mollycoddle Me again.

The website is user-friendly, the products are stylish, well-made, and affordable, and the shipping is free, which is a nice bonus. Because the items were shipped from overseas, there was a longer waiting period, which is made clear at checkout days. I had no problem waiting, but keep that in mind when ordering. The magic of discovering someone for the first time and living for one another is beyond…. I love the movie The Family Man.

Have you seen it? Many thanks to Ms. Maxim for sharing this informative post on alternative dispute resolution methods in family law matters. Despite attempts to incorporate customary law, the writ of the 'National Courts' is felt less keenly in the more remote villages. Victims of crime can choose to have their cases heard in the national courts but this means transporting all those involved to the nearest town. Additionally, national courts hand down sentences that do not generally compensate the victim directly.

Melanesian custom tends to see crime as an offence against the victim and their family and community, more than an offence against the law. The affected family require compensation in the form of money or goods. In remote areas, Village Courts are the primary source of formal justice. The Village Courts grew from colonial systems, and were most recently redefined through the Village Courts Act of Five types of officials can be appointed through the provincial governments, with senior officer requiring gazetting at the national level through the Village Courts and Land Mediation Secretariat.

The Village Court Act establishes the court's jurisdiction, but includes general jurisdiction over any events that would disturb order in the community.

In practice, the Village Court's accessibility, especially in remote areas, creates tremendous pressures for actors to exceed their jurisdiction in order to provide some justice to isolated communities that would otherwise be isolated from assistance. In remote regions in which few people have paid employment it might seem that large fines would be unlikely to be paid.

The system is usually extremely effective; many people will work in town at some stage in their life and then have savings. Fines are levied against the transgressor and family, who then join together to pay the fine. The Committee Man is paid a fee for his time, generally by the person bringing the case.

In a remote environment with no police to back up and enforce his decision, the Committee Man needs considerable wisdom and diplomacy to make his verdict stick. Good Committee Men are impressive individuals and valuable sources of information about their local communities. The independence of the judiciary has been a particular problem in developing countries, though it was early confirmed in Papua New Guinea.

Papua New Guinea's Constitution purports to adopt the principle of the separation of powers, enunciated in US jurisprudence in an environment where the three branches of government are indeed separate, the executive not being responsible to the legislature. In PNG as in Australia, the principle is in fact somewhat artificially defined simply to mean that the judiciary is independent from executive interference, as established by the English Bill of Rights , ; however, the principle does not extend, as was established in Australia during the early years of the Australian federation, to preventing the courts from rendering advisory opinions to the executive; nor are there any implications with respect to the quasi-judicial function of administrative tribunals, also an issue at one time in Australia see Separation of powers in Australia.

The principle was quickly tested in Papua New Guinea.
