Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... understood the question, because, on being invited to take what belonged to him, he carefully examined the box, and separated his own effects from the rest; but Dr. Itard of Paris, in a note on this passage, observes with reason, that no imperfectly educated Deaf Mute could clearly understand a question thus complicated, and loaded with pronouns. Brunning merely followed his instinct in claiming the box, and separating his own effects from the rest, without having any idea of the precise scope of the question placed before him. We have cited this case as an illustration of the danger of mutual misunderstandings in an examination by writing of a Deaf Mute who can only read and write very imperfectly. It may sometimes happen that a Deaf Mute criminal may, from a hope of escaping punishment, feign to know much less of writing than he does. He may be aware that ignorance, especially in his circumstances, excites compassion, and is held in some measure to excuse faults. In such cases, Dr. Itard advises to accuse him of a crime much more serious than, and altogether different from that actually charged against him. If he can really read and write, his surprise and indignation will break out at the false charge in a manner to show what degree of skill in written language he actually possesses. We will close this branch of the subject by giving at length an important case already referred to, the State of Connecticut v. De Wolf, (8 Conn. Rep. 93, ) as it relates not only to the manner of examining this class of witnesses, but includes other matters, touching their character, and the nature and effect of their testimony. The prisoner De Wolf (a young physician) was indicted for an attempt to commit a rape upon the person of a deaf and dumb girl, .

Excerpt from On the Legal Rights and Responsibilities, Deaf and Dumb We will give the principal passage upon the subject from Braeton in his own words, which will be the more interesting, as it shows that the law did not at that time admit, or rather it denied, the possibility of the Deaf and Dumb expressing their will or consent, even by signs; a state of things not remarkable, when it is remembered that the learned Spaniard Vives, nearly two centuries later, questioned, merely from the inherent in credibility of the thing in his view, the statement of the Heidel burg Professor Agricola, that he had seen a young man, born Deaf and Dumb, who had learned to understand writing, and to note down his whole thought. (de Anima of Vives, lib. Ii, cap. De Discendi Ratione, and see De Inventione Dialecticae of Agri cola, lib. Iii.) The passage from Braeton is as follows.

This outstanding resource also explains new requirements for federal buildings and other new structures to provide full access. Recent additions to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act are described, as are the ways public schools can meet new acoustical standards for classrooms. Legal Rights covers the entire spectrum of communication issues for deaf and hard of hearing people, from the new rules about interpreters in federal courts to the latest developments regarding relay services. It also lists those states that are leaders in ensuring access and equal rights to people with disabilities, making it the most complete source of legal information for deaf and hard of hearing people now available.
This book examines how those with disabilities, and in particular, the Deaf and hard-of-hearing, are impacted by the influence language and culture in policing, criminal law, and corrections. Frequently left out of policy making and research, almost no resources exist that can inform and aid law enforcement, legal, and correctional officials on culturally competent interactions with the Deaf and hard-of-hearing. As a result, this group is at a distinct disadvantage when dealing with law enforcement or the courts as well as being vastly underserved, which often lead to negative outcomes for the Deaf suspect/defendant/inmate as they attempt to interact with law enforcement and navigate the legal system. In a step-by-step presentation from arrest to incarceration each chapter will discuss a specific part of the legal system. As well as providing information on the topic, this book can serve as an important resource to the myriad of issues and difficulties that may be experiences by the Deaf suspect, defendant, or inmate, as well as by law enforcement officers, attorneys, and correctional officers. To illustrate these issues, previous cases of Deaf suspects, defendants, and inmates will be presented and discussed to clarify key issues and to provide a perspective of the problem. Each chapter dealing with these issues will also provide suggestions for more culturally competent interactions between the Deaf community and the legal system.
