"In The Twinkling Of An Eye": A Proporsal For The Standard Of Legality To Be Applied In Hospital Staff Privileges Cases, Sarah Bartholomew Ellerbee
LLM Theses and Essays
This paper addresses one of the most troublesome aspects of antitrust jurisprudence. What standard of legality governs cases dealing with medical staff privileges decisions? Heretofore, it was generally thought that only two options existed. The most frequently used standard of legality for this type of case is the rule of reason. In using this analysis, the court looks at the restraint of trade of the reasonableness of its nature, and its purpose and effect. The pro-competitive aspects of the conduct are weighed against the restraints that the conduct imposes on the competition. In health care cases, courts have looked at …

This thesis explores the complex landscape of intellectual property protection in the context of the U.S-China trade relations.

Responsibility Of The Individual Under International Law For Crimes Committed In The Context Of Armed Conflicts, Michael Reiffenstuel

This thesis analyzes individual responsibility and the scope ratione personae, which crimes are covered, the process of enforcement and in what …

After examining the current whistleblowing law that has evolved in various jurisdictions across the country, this thesis proposes that a uniform state statute should be enacted to encourage employees to report violations …
