Ballad Health: Understanding Appalachia’S Regional Healthcare Monopoly, Meredith A. Bailey
Ballad Health: Understanding Appalachia’S Regional Healthcare Monopoly, Meredith A. Bailey
Baker Scholar Projects
The Ballad Health merger of 2018, which combined the now 21 hospitals in the region under one organization, has impacted the healthcare landscape in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Historically, Appalachia has had to persevere through primary physician shortages, a lack of specialty care, geographic obstacles to accessing healthcare, challenges related to substance abuse, and much more.

This study utilizes an online survey to better understand the …

Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy
In 2011, Tennessee became only the fifth U.S. state to strictly require photograph identification as a prerequisite to voting.'

The Scope Of The Economic Loss Doctrine In Tennessee, Kasey Washburn
The Scope Of The Economic Loss Doctrine In Tennessee, Kasey Washburn
Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy
In Lincoln General Insurance Co. v. Detroit Diesel Corp., the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that Tennessee law does not allow recovery in tort for a defective product that causes damage only to itself, regardless of the manner in which the damage occurs. The United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee brought this issue before the Tennessee Supreme Court through a certified question of law. The district court sought to establish the scope of the economic loss doctrine under Tennessee law, focusing specifically on cases where the damage to the defective product resulted from a sudden, calamitous event.
A Short Primer On The Admissibility Of Forensic Science Evidence In Tennessee: A Checklist, Bernard A. Raum
A Short Primer On The Admissibility Of Forensic Science Evidence In Tennessee: A Checklist, Bernard A. Raum
Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy

Similarly, most trial attorneys employ witness checklists during the in-court examination of their witnesses to ensure that all of the witnesses' evidence has been fully presented and their exhibits have been properly marked and received in evidence. It is the intent of this presentation to suggest the use of another evidentiary checklist …

Radical Discrimination In The Death Penalty In Tennessee: An Empirical Assessment, John M. Scheb Ii, Kristin A. Wagers
Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy
The intense media coverage of the United States Supreme Court's recent decisions in Baze v. Rees' and Kennedy v. Louisiana highlights the ongoing saliency of the death penalty in American politics. In this article, we use empirical evidence to shed light on this controversy. Our analysis utilizes data from 1,068 first-degree murder convictions rendered in Tennessee between 1977 and 2007. The questions animating our research are: 1) What factors led prosecutors to seek the death penalty? and 2) What factors led juries to impose it? In particular, we are interested in the role that race plays in these decisions. Does …
