The Medical Malpractice Crisis: A Comparative Empirical Perspective, Donald N. Dewees, Michael J. Trebilcock, Peter C. Coyte Jan 1991

The Medical Malpractice Crisis: A Comparative Empirical Perspective, Donald N. Dewees, Michael J. Trebilcock, Peter C. Coyte

Law and Contemporary Problems

The results of a detailed empirical study of the Canadian medical malpractice experience are presented. Policy perspectives on the so-called medical malpractice crisis need to be much more broadly cast than the overwhelming preoccupation with tort reform issues that have dominated policy debates to this juncture.


Indiana’S Malpractice System: No-Fault By Accident?, Eleanor D. Kinney, William P. Gronfein Jan 1991

Indiana’S Malpractice System: No-Fault By Accident?, Eleanor D. Kinney, William P. Gronfein

Law and Contemporary Problems

Indiana's medical malpractice tort and insurance reforms were studied. The analysis showed that relatively subtle administrative arrangements for the management of claims at the state level may influence whether claimants are treated fairly by a system that is tightly structured to control claim severity and thus the price and availability of malpractice insurance for providers.

Law, Change, And Litigation: A Critical Examination Of An Empirical Research Tradition, Frank W. Munger Jan 1988

Law, Change, And Litigation: A Critical Examination Of An Empirical Research Tradition, Frank W. Munger

Articles & Chapters

This article examines the theory and empirical methods of recent studies of law and litigation. It argues that the recent interest in longitudinal studies of trial court dockets proceeds from a deeply rooted functionalist theoretical tradition in empirical work on courts. Functionalist theory, through its sophisticated application in the work of James Willard Hurst, is described as the direct or indirect source of theory for longitudinal litigation studies. Though there are many reasons for suspecting that fuctionalist theory is inadequate, it has seldom been rejected through proper empirical testing of its hypotheses. The theory, often poorly conceptualized, is discussed here …


Hindering The Progress Of Science: The Use Of The Patent System To Regulate Research On Genetically Altered Animals, Robert B. Kambic Jan 1988

Hindering The Progress Of Science: The Use Of The Patent System To Regulate Research On Genetically Altered Animals, Robert B. Kambic

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note considers whether genetically altered animals should be protected by patents and discusses the ramifications of a congressionally imposed moratorium on the issuance of animal patents. The Note discusses the purpose of the patent system and analyzes case law concerning patents on living organisms, examines the controversy surrounding the patenting of altered animals, and contains a discussion of the PTO's role in issuing an ethically controversial patent. The Note concludes that the PTO was correct in determining that genetically altered animals are patentable subject matter.

The Abuses Of Social Science: A Response To Fineman And Opie., David L. Chambers Jan 1987

The Abuses Of Social Science: A Response To Fineman And Opie., David L. Chambers

Articles

Martha Fineman and Anne Opie have written an article on the misuses of social science research by those who are recommending policies for the placement of children after divorce.' The subject is important. When Professor Fineman told me that she and Opie were using an article I wrote about child custody2 as an example of some of the problems they discussed, I anticipated a useful exchange on the subject. Having read their article, I have decided against an exchange on the merits of the larger issues they raise. I have so decided because their article, which refers extensively to my …
