The Criminalization Of Treating End Of Life Patients With Risky Pain Medication And The Role Of The Extreme Emergency Situation, Gina Castellano

Fordham Law Review

This Note examines the legality of physicians treating patients near the end of life with risky pain medication, specifically during an extreme emergency situation. The issues discussed include whether such treatment should be criminalized and, if criminalized, what standard should be used to determine culpability.

Rebuilding The Safety Mechanism: Does 18 U.S.C. § 3553(E) Violate The Separation Of Powers, Michael Buescher

Fordham Law Review

This Note examines the government motion requirement of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e) and section 5K1.1 of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines from a separation of powers perspective.
