Putting The Plug In The Jug: The Malady Of Alcoholism And Substance Addiction In The Legal Profession And A Proposal For Reform, Alexander O. Rovzar
University of Massachusetts Law Review
To members of the legal profession, and many of those familiar with it, the high rate of chemical dependency among practitioners is not a secret. Moreover, there is a strong correlation between chemically dependent attorneys and ethical violations across the nation. Over the past thirty years, the legal profession has generally dealt with the alarming amount of professional misconduct rooted in an attorney’s alcoholism or substance addiction by imposing discipline. With the exception of some state-led movements toward rehabilitating the addicted attorney, little has been done on the national level to address chemical dependency among practicing attorneys. Drawing from the …

Rescue The Americans With Disabilities Act From Restrictive Interpretations: Alcoholism As An Illustration, Judith J. Johnson
Rescue The Americans With Disabilities Act From Restrictive Interpretations: Alcoholism As An Illustration, Judith J. Johnson
Northern Illinois University Law Review
The article posits that judicial interpretations have virtually eliminated many impairments, such as alcoholism, from protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act, contrary to obvious Congressional intent. While this phenomenon is not limited to alcoholism, it is a useful illustration of the damage judicial activism has caused in this area. In enacting the ADA, Congress was particularly concerned about "stereotypic assumptions" that created myths and fears about disabled people. Alcoholics are often subjected to discrimination because of such assumptions and because they are not perceived as having a "real" illness. Moreover, Congress referred to alcoholism many times in the legislative …

Addiction, Genetics, And Criminal Responsibility, Stephen J. Morse
Law and Contemporary Problems
In light of the abundance of studies focusing on the genetic contributions to addiction, Morse develops a meaningful background on the legal and scientific images of behavior, the disease concept of addiction, and the aspects of addiction for which a person may be held legally accountable.

Tending The Bar In Texas: Alcoholism As A Mitigating Factor In Attorney Discipline., Patricia Sue Heil
Tending The Bar In Texas: Alcoholism As A Mitigating Factor In Attorney Discipline., Patricia Sue Heil
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Comment describes the nature and scope of alcoholism and chemical dependency in the legal profession. It reviews the current state of the law regarding alcoholism as a mitigating factor in attorney discipline. Addictive illnesses manifest themselves in ways which leave afflicted attorneys unable to practice law in accordance with professional rules of conduct. The majority of attorney-discipline cases involve alcoholism or chemical dependency. An attorney whose illness remains untreated will likely become the subject of grievance-committee investigations. For disciplinary cases involving alcoholism, a suggested analysis includes establishing a nexus between illness and misconduct. Additionally, it includes a causal connection …

Physiology Of Ethyl Alcohol, Lewis H. Bronson
Physiology Of Ethyl Alcohol, Lewis H. Bronson
Cleveland State Law Review
The physiological effects of ethyl alcohol depend almost entirely on its concentration in the blood stream. This concentration, expressed in per cent, is referred to as the blood alcohol level and has become of increasing medico-legal importance in determining the degree of alcoholic intoxication.

Medical Aspects Of Chemical Tests For Intoxication, Philip Jones
Medical Aspects Of Chemical Tests For Intoxication, Philip Jones
Cleveland State Law Review
Three chemical tests are most frequently used. These are the estimation of the alcohol content of the (1) blood, (2) urine, and (3) breath. Each of these shows a reasonably accurate estimation of the degree of intoxication provided certain precautions are observed. Unfortunately, under some circumstances the results of these tests may be misleading and be invalid in evidence. In order to appreciate these limitations it is necessary to understand the physiology of the absorption and excretion of alcohol in the body.
Alcoholism And The Law, Melvin L. Selzer
Alcoholism And The Law, Melvin L. Selzer
Michigan Law Review
The American public has recently been subjected to a deluge of articles and books on the subject of alcoholism. While these contributions have been filled with valuable information, certain omissions have been noticeable. These omitted facts are of vital significance to any one wanting to gain insight into the broad problem of alcoholism. The first omission is a failure to stress that no one-or almost no one-knows who is alcoholic. This may include the alcoholic himself. It is a point of considerable importance in determining the proper disposition of certain criminal cases.
