Risk Communication Law And Implementation Issues In The United States And European Community, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

Risk communication has become an important element of public policy in the United States and the European Community (E.C.) for reducing technological risks to workers, product users and community residents. The risk communication process involves disclosure by an industrial firm (or other party) of information about the hazardous attributes of its activity or product to a regulatory agency or to persons who may be at risk, thereby facilitating a shared understanding of the risk and enabling interpretation of various risk prevention and response measures.

There are two general patterns of risk communication. One involves industrial disclosure to a government agency, …

Securities Law Fifth Circuit Symposium, Steve Thel

Faculty Scholarship

The Fifth Circuit decided some important securities cases during the survey period and issued some interesting opinions. Although the court consistently claimed a conservative reliance on precedent and seldom acknowledged making new law, it interpreted some well-established doctrine in surprising ways. The past year's opinions in fraud cases provide guidance in the related areas of reliance, damages, and plaintiff's due diligence. The year also witnessed important developments in the law governing the relationship between brokerage firms and their clients. The most spectacular development in this area during the survey year was the October collapse in security prices. In light of …

Automatic Consumer Protection Recovery Act For Lack Of Informed Consent: Quimby V. Fine, Dr. Carroll Rusk, Jr.

Seattle University Law Review

This Note will demonstrate the need to refine the entrepreneurial aspects test as it applies to medical professionals and suggest a rationale for identifying those lack-of-informed-consent actions to which the Consumer Protection Act rightfully applies. Specifically, this Note seeks to: 1) demonstrate that satisfaction of the statutory elements of a lack-of-informed-consent claim necessarily satisfies the five prongs of the Hangman private dispute test; 2) show that the additional requirement that the lack of informed consent "relate to the entrepreneurial aspects of the medical practice" has not been definitively interpreted, and that it may be unintelligible in context; 3) identify the …
