Minors & Cosmetic Surgery: An Argument For State Intervention, Derrick Diaz
Minors & Cosmetic Surgery: An Argument For State Intervention, Derrick Diaz
Derrick Diaz Mr.
This article focuses on whether a state may intervene to prevent minors from obtaining medically unnecessary cosmetic surgery. The article concludes that a state may prohibit such a procedure without running afoul of parental liberty interests by showing severe risk of harm to the minor. Furthermore, the article proposes that minors not have access to cosmetic surgery unless found by a court to be medically necessary. If medical necessity has been shown, then the parental presumption must control. However, if medical necessity has not been shown, then the service should be prohibited the same as any regulated service or product …
The Primary Right, Carter Dillard
The Primary Right, Carter Dillard
Carter Dillard
As climate change materializes, legal theorists face the urgent need to develop a normative baseline for environmental regulation. Meanwhile, in the seemingly unrelated field of political exit theory, theorists have presumed that while one ought to be able to exit any polity one cannot exit all polities. This essay challenges that presumption, and simultaneously addresses the baseline problem in environmental law, by combining the analyses to develop a new human right derived from exit right theory called the primary right: a general claim-right of reasonable access to wilderness. The derivation is simple: If consent is necessary to justify political association, …
Empathy With Animals: A Litmus Test For Legal Personhood?, Carter Dillard
Empathy With Animals: A Litmus Test For Legal Personhood?, Carter Dillard
Carter Dillard
Is there any relationship between the disposition of some humans to empathize with and respond to the interests of nonhuman animals, and the criteria we ought to use for determining who becomes a legal person? This brief essay argues that there is, by employing a thick conception of legal personhood, and suggests that criteria be used to determine who constitutes our legality in the future.
Relational Malpractice, Sagit Mor, Orna Rabinovich-Einy
Relational Malpractice, Sagit Mor, Orna Rabinovich-Einy
Sagit Mor
Legal scholarship in recent decades has devoted considerable attention to the "malpractice crisis." Surprisingly, however, the vast majority of this literature has overlooked a fundamental aspect of the problem: the deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship. So far, mainstream legal writing on malpractice has tended to frame the situation as either an insurance crisis or a litigation crisis. Although others have acknowledged that the current malpractice regime has negatively affected the doctor patient relationship, they have narrowly framed the scope of the problem, focusing on the aftermath of a medical error. We argue that contemporary doctor-patient interactions often resemble a battle …
Equal Rights For Disabled People In Employment Law – A Critical Assessment (Hebrew), Sagit Mor
Equal Rights For Disabled People In Employment Law – A Critical Assessment (Hebrew), Sagit Mor
Sagit Mor
This article presents a pioneering research project, which seeks to explore whether and to what extent the Equal Rights for People with Disability Law, 1998, had an impact on courts' rulings on matters related to disability employment discrimination. In particular, it seeks to examine (1) whether a consistent and instructive legal doctrine has evolved, one that reflects the principles that guided the framers of the legislation, and (2) whether the legal discourse on disability has changed. The article presents the emerging theory of disability legal studies and its unique and original contribution to legal scholarship. Disability legal studies seeks to …
Quality Of Healthcare And The Role Of Relationships: Bridging The Medico-Legal Divide, Sagit Mor, Orna Rabinovich-Einy
Quality Of Healthcare And The Role Of Relationships: Bridging The Medico-Legal Divide, Sagit Mor, Orna Rabinovich-Einy
Sagit Mor
This article focuses on an often overlooked barrier to efforts to enhance the quality of health care: the relationship crisis that currently exists between physicians and patients. This state of affairs has resulted from the divide between the medical and legal worlds. The medical arena has understandably tended to view the doctor-patient relationship as a purely medical issue, ignoring the law’s impact in generating and sustaining problematic relationship patterns. The legal world has yet to fully recognize this state of affairs, and the law’s role in its evolution and persistence. We offer a relational approach to healthcare law as a …

Polar Law And Good Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
This chapter will assess the Antarctic Treaty System, ask what polar lessons can be learned regarding common pool resources, and analyze law of the sea and related measures. It will consider such substantive areas as Arctic and Antarctic natural resource management and procedural opportunities as inclusive governance structures. Enhancing good governance can occur through trust building forums that bring together stakeholders, share information, and make environmentally sound decisions regarding sustainable development.
