Firing Employees For Refusing To Submit To Urinalysis: The Case For A Uniform Standard Of Reasonable Individualized Suspicion, Gloria L. Freye Jan 1988

Firing Employees For Refusing To Submit To Urinalysis: The Case For A Uniform Standard Of Reasonable Individualized Suspicion, Gloria L. Freye

University of Richmond Law Review

Submitting to an employer's demand for a urinalysis test to detect ingestion of drugs means laying your privacy, reputation, career, livelihood and possibly your freedom1 on the line. The chances of being asked to submit to a urinalysis or a polygraph test pursuant to employment are well within the realm of possibility. Virginia Electrical Power Company ("Virginia Power"), the fifth largest employer in Virginia, utilizes both urinalysis and polygraphs as investigative tools. Thus, it is foreseeable that a situation may develop where an employee is fired for refusing to submit to a urinalysis test. This Note focuses on issues that …

Ten Years After: Evolving Mental Health Advocacy And Judicial Trends, Michael L. Perlin Jan 1987

Ten Years After: Evolving Mental Health Advocacy And Judicial Trends, Michael L. Perlin

Fordham Urban Law Journal

"Address to the Mental Health Legal Advocacy Symposium, "Current Issues in Law and Psychiatry," New York, New York, May 30, 1985." This speech provides an overview of trends in mental disability law as they evolved from 1972 to 1982. It also explores social, economic, and political developments impacting on mental health advocacy, and looks at both seminal supreme court cases and lower courts' responses. It finds an ambivalent Supreme Court without a clear position on many issues related to mentally disabled individuals.


Substituted Judgment And The Right To Refuse Shock Treatment In Washington: In Re Schuoler, Gregory S. Marshall Jan 1987

Substituted Judgment And The Right To Refuse Shock Treatment In Washington: In Re Schuoler, Gregory S. Marshall

Seattle University Law Review

This Note will first analyze and evaluate two competing decision-making models established in other jurisdictions. The Note will then apply that analysis to Schuoler and critically evaluate that decision. The Note will conclude that while the Washington court follows the more appropriate judicial substituted judgment model, its poor articulation of that model may defeat the purpose of the decision: to protect a mental patient's right to refuse ECT.

Barriers To Providing Effective Treatment: A Critique Of Revisions In Procedural,Substantive, And Dispositional Criteria In Involuntary Civil Commitment, Donald H. J. Hermann Jan 1986

Barriers To Providing Effective Treatment: A Critique Of Revisions In Procedural,Substantive, And Dispositional Criteria In Involuntary Civil Commitment, Donald H. J. Hermann

Vanderbilt Law Review

Anyone spending time in a major urban center in the United States must be shocked by the significant number of mentally ill persons living on the streets--the "bag people" who sleep in door-ways, on steam grates, on subway stairs. These people represent a new lifestyle made possible in part by a policy of deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill, which has been motivated largely by economic considerations and rationalized as a matter of mental health law reform. Another major factor contributing to the increasing denial of treatment to the mentally ill has been a revision of the mental health statutes. A …

The Canadian Patient's Book Of Rights: A Consumer's Guide To Canadian Health Law, A. Bissett-Johnson Apr 1983

The Canadian Patient's Book Of Rights: A Consumer's Guide To Canadian Health Law, A. Bissett-Johnson

Dalhousie Law Journal

Well qualified lawyers rarely take time to communicate important, often vital, information to the general public about matters of law which affect their lives and their health. This attractive handbook is a welcome exception to that rule. One of Canada's best known and most experienced lawyers in the medicolegal field, Lorne Rozovsky, has written a "consumer's guide" of some 140 pages on the subject of medical and hospital patient's rights under the laws. The area of law covered is what the author calls "health law," one of the most exciting and fastest growing of legal specialization fields in both Canada …

Contemporary Social Historical Perspectives On Mental Health Reform, Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 1983

Contemporary Social Historical Perspectives On Mental Health Reform, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The argument presented in this article is that a new role has been developing in law which can and should be used as a strategy in the provision of services. It will be further argued that there is an important place for the law in setting limits on established psychiatric measures relating, for example, to compulsory admission and treatment, and even to particularly hazardous measures taken with the consent of the patient. The final role of law is to ensure the civil status of those who are the consumers of psychiatric services. One must accept the fact that pernicious legal …


The Impact Of Reagan-Era Politics On The Federal Medicaid Program, Ken Wing Jan 1983

The Impact Of Reagan-Era Politics On The Federal Medicaid Program, Ken Wing

Faculty Articles

The political future may be difficult to predict with specificity, but surely the level of publicly-sponsored medical care for the poor will be severely reduced in the coming years, leaving millions of poor Americans to rely on the charitable capacity of the nation's health care providers-or simply to go without. What follows is an attempt to support this characterization of Medicaid and its political future. Section I of this article is a description of Medicaid, its structure prior to 1981, and the legal and political history of its development and implementation. In addition to providing the basis for understanding the …

Surrogate Gestation And The Protection Of Choice, Louise E. Graham Jan 1982

Surrogate Gestation And The Protection Of Choice, Louise E. Graham

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Proponents of surrogate gestation contracts base their case on both the constitutional privacy rights of persons involved in the contract and the notion that contractual agreements are capable of sufficiently protecting all interests involved. This article first speculates on how courts might handle surrogate gestation contracts under existing laws and offers arguments for and against such contracts. Although some commentary on the contractual aspect of the agreement exists, little attention has been given to the privacy arguments of the parties. The major focus of this article, therefore, is upon the nature of the privacy claims asserted by the prospective parents …

Outpatient Mental Health Care Services - A Minor's Right, John V. Cogbill Iii Jan 1979

Outpatient Mental Health Care Services - A Minor's Right, John V. Cogbill Iii

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1979 Session of the General Assembly made important changes in Title 54 of the Code of Virginia pertaining to health care for minors. One of the principal changes involved the right of unemancipated minors to seek outpatient treatment for mental health problems without the consent of their parents. Additionally, lawmakers deleted the criminal sanctions imposed against medical practitioners who performed authorized abortions on consenting minors. This bill appears to bring into Virginia a partial realization of a child's right to due process and equal protection under the law.


The Principle Of The Least Restrictive Alternative For Mentally-Retarded Persons: The Constitutional Issues, David L. Chambers Jan 1976

The Principle Of The Least Restrictive Alternative For Mentally-Retarded Persons: The Constitutional Issues, David L. Chambers

Book Chapters

Mentally retarded people are people. When strong reasons exist to treat them differently from other people, they should be provided the necessary services, restraint, or protection through means that intrude as little as possible on their freedom to live the life that others are permitted to live. "Normalization" is the term professionals use to define the goal and the process of helping mentally retarded citizens lead a "normal" life. The attainment of this goal involves undoing the multitude of formal constrictions governments have typically placed on the retarded citizen's freedom: his place of residence, his schooling, his control over his …


National Health Planning And Resources Development Act Of 1974: Implications For The Poor, Ken Wing, A. G. Schneider Jan 1976

National Health Planning And Resources Development Act Of 1974: Implications For The Poor, Ken Wing, A. G. Schneider

Faculty Articles

The National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974, was signed into law on January 4, 1975, following a lengthy legislative struggle. During the past 11 months, the fighting among private and public health interests has continued, although the principal arena has shifted from the Congress to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, which is charged with primary responsibility for implementing the law. While the final outcome of this political conflict is still difficult to foresee, some informed estimates can already be made concerning the implications of this legislation for the poor. This article will not summarize the …


Representation Of Clients In Matters Relating To Hospital Bills, Ken Wing, S. Axelrad, P. A. Butler Jan 1974

Representation Of Clients In Matters Relating To Hospital Bills, Ken Wing, S. Axelrad, P. A. Butler

Faculty Articles

This article is designed to acquaint Legal Services attorneys with a range of government health programs for which their clients may be eligible, and a number of legal theories that may impose a duty to provide care on public or private medical care institutions. The primary objective is to provide background material to assist the attorney in getting medical bills paid or defending a collection action. The article also includes a discussion of legal duties to provide care that will be useful in advising clients and consumer groups of their rights and of the programs and services that should be …


Mental Commitment Cases Of 1971 Supreme Court Term, Ken Wing, R. Carman Jan 1973

Mental Commitment Cases Of 1971 Supreme Court Term, Ken Wing, R. Carman

Faculty Articles

Even in areas where legal representation has become available to the poor through the efforts of Legal Services programs, there is still one group that is almost universally denied representation: those confined under the various forms of civil commitment and patients in mental health institutions. Almost by definition in need of legal counsel and predictably indigent, they are faced with interpersonal and institutional barriers that further reduce their chances to obtain representation. It is the position of the National Health Law Program that Legal Services programs throughout the country should focus some of their attention towards this portion of their …


Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson Jan 1972

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1972 session of the General Assembly was especially active in the areas of wills, trusts, and estates. Much of this legislation deals with fine points not affecting the average lawyer in his practice. However, the following items of legislation should be of general interest to the attorney whose practice involves probate work or estate planning, even though he does not hold himself out as a specialist in these areas.
