The Employer's Intentional Tort - Should It Be Recognized In Canadian Jurisdictions?, Leigh West

Dalhousie Law Journal

At the inception of Canadian worker compensation legislation, an historic trade off agreement was made between employers and their workers. By virtue of this agreement, the right of workers to sue their employer in tort was removed and in return workers were to receive swift, certain, but limited, compensation payments for job-related injuries and illness, regardless of fault. With a few minor exceptions, this agreement made worker compensation the exclusive remedy available to an injured worker.

Law And Legislation In Ohio, Jane Campbell, Ray Miller, Grace Drake, Susan Sheutzow

Journal of Law and Health

A discussion of the current Ohio health insurance law regarding the uninsured and underinsured and what the Ohio legislature is trying to do about it. Jane Campbell discussed adopting a system similar to the Canadian health care system, creating an Ohio health care trust fund, and helping those in high-risk health care categories. Ray Miller addressed indigent health care and the Hagan bill. Grace Drake said that universal health care has not been successful where it has been tried, so the focus should be on the working poor and uninsured.

Alternative Approaches At The Federal And State Level, E. Richard Brown, Mary Rose Oakar, Randall Bovbjerg

Journal of Law and Health

The reason that the discussions and positions that you heard this morning are no longer being voiced so widely in California is because conditions have continued to deteriorate there rather dramatically. Like the rest of the country, we have a large uninsured population, but the percentage of our uninsured population is larger than the national average as a percentage of the non-elderly population. In the U.S. it's about eighteen percent; in California, it's over twenty-one percent. That means more than five million uninsured people.

Equality Theory, Marital Rape, And The Promise Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

During the 1980s a handful of state judges either held or opined in dicta what must be incontrovertible to the feminist community, as well as to most progressive legal advocates and academics: the so-called marital rape exemption, whether statutory or common law in origin, constitutes a denial of a married woman's constitutional right to equal protection under the law. Indeed, a more obvious denial of equal protection is difficult to imagine: the marital rape exemption denies married women protection against violent crime solely on the basis of gender and marital status. What possibly could be less rational than a statute …
