Transformations In Health Law Practice: The Intersections Of Changes In Healthcare And Legal Workplaces, Louise G. Trubek, Barbara Zabawa, Paula Galowitz Jan 2015

Transformations In Health Law Practice: The Intersections Of Changes In Healthcare And Legal Workplaces, Louise G. Trubek, Barbara Zabawa, Paula Galowitz

Faculty Works

The passage and implementation of the Affordable Care Act is propelling transformations in health care. The transformations include integration of clinics and hospitals, value based care, patient centeredness, transparency, computerized business models and universal coverage. These shifts are influencing the practice of health law, a vibrant specialty field considered a "hot" area for new lawyers. The paper examines how the transformations in health care are intersecting with ongoing trends in law practice: increase in in-house positions, collaboration between medical and legal professionals, and the continued search for increased access to legal representation for ordinary people. Three health law workplace sites …

Procedural Triage, Matthew B. Lawrence Jan 2015

Procedural Triage, Matthew B. Lawrence

Faculty Articles

Prior scholarship has assumed that the inherent value of a “day in court” is the same for all claimants, so that when procedural resources (like a jury trial or a hearing) are scarce, they should be rationed the same way for all claimants. That is incorrect. This Article shows that the inherent value of a “day in court” can be far greater for some claimants, such as first-time filers, than for others, such as corporate entities and that it can be both desirable and feasible to take this variation into account in doling out scarce procedural protections. In other words, …

Getting Even Less Than What They Paid For: The Plight Of Generic Drug Consumers Under The Levine-Mensing Dichotomy, Vikrama Chandrashekar Jan 2015

Getting Even Less Than What They Paid For: The Plight Of Generic Drug Consumers Under The Levine-Mensing Dichotomy, Vikrama Chandrashekar

University of Colorado Law Review

The Drug Price Competition and Patent Restoration Act of 1984, known as the Hatch-Waxman Amendments, allows manufacturers to begin developing generic versions of patented, brand-name pharmaceuticals while the patent terms are in force, and to bring those generic versions to market as soon as the patent terms expire. The generic versions are to mimic the brand-name drug in every respect; thus, they are produced at a significantly reduced cost, and those savings are passed on to generic drug consumers. Under federal regulations, a generic drug's label must also mimic that of the brand-name drug, and generic drug manufacturers may not …

The Michael Morton Act: Minimizing Prosecutorial Misconduct., Cynthia E. Hujar Orr, Robert G. Rodery Jan 2015

The Michael Morton Act: Minimizing Prosecutorial Misconduct., Cynthia E. Hujar Orr, Robert G. Rodery

St. Mary's Law Journal

Twenty-five years ago, Texas prosecutors significantly limited the pre-trial discovery it disclosed to criminal defendants. As a result of this policy, innocent individuals accused of murder, like Michael Morton, were denied their right to due process. Michael Morton was incarcerated for twenty-five years following a wrongful murder conviction. He was denied access to crucial evidence, which included a bandana with the victim’s blood and the killer’s hair, and eyewitness accounts describing the killer at or near the time of the murder. The prosecutor purposely withheld this evidence from Michael Morton; but thanks to the efforts of the Innocence Project, he …

Asbestos Lawsuits In Russia: Bring One If You Can, Anna Linetskaya Jan 2014

Asbestos Lawsuits In Russia: Bring One If You Can, Anna Linetskaya

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the challenges faced by asbestos victims in Russia in seeking legal redress, highlighting the barriers posed by the country's legal system, lack of regulatory oversight, and the dominance of the asbestos industry. It argues that despite the existence of tort law as a potential avenue for relief, numerous structural and procedural obstacles deter victims from pursuing claims, underscoring the need for legal reforms to improve access to justice.


Texas Remedies In Equity For Breach Of Fiduciary Duty: Disgorgement, Forfeiture, And Fracturing., George P. Roach Jan 2014

Texas Remedies In Equity For Breach Of Fiduciary Duty: Disgorgement, Forfeiture, And Fracturing., George P. Roach

St. Mary's Law Journal

The remedy of fee forfeiture against lawyer fiduciaries has been marginalized. Following Burrow v. Arce, Texas trial courts have frequently applied a no-fracturing rule that effectively bars a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against an attorney. Although the court in Burrow held actual damages were not a prerequisite for fee forfeiture, many Texas trial courts have not followed that precedent. Most Texas trial courts require the plaintiff to prove actual damages to survive a summary judgment motion. Others have openly asserted that not all legitimate claims for breach of fiduciary duty should be allowed as an alternative claim to …


Water For New Mexico Rivers, Beth Bardwell, Adrian Oglesby Jan 2014

Water For New Mexico Rivers, Beth Bardwell, Adrian Oglesby

Water Matters!

The Rio Grande, the Pecos, the Gila, the San Juan, the Canadian—New Mexico’s rivers are synonymous with the state’s culture and natural heritage. New Mexicans overwhelmingly care about the health of the state’s rivers and that includes flows to support fish and river dependent wildlife. Rivers, wetlands, and riparian areas comprise a very small part of our landscape—a mere 1 percent. This 1 percent plays an essential role in renewing the state’s water supply for its two million residents; for sustaining the state’s second largest industry—tourism; for producing food and fiber; and for sustaining New Mexico’s web of life. Eighty …
