Centre of Excellence in Women and Child Health

Introduction: Seeking legal redress for sexual violence (SV) is a daunting process for survivors. They must navigate their personal trauma societal stigma, and flawed systems, creating an arduous path to justice. This study was conducted to assess patterns of SV within Mombasa County, Kenya, and details the legal follow-up post-SV care.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data from SV survivors attending the Gender-Based Violence and Recovery Centre (GBVRC) at the Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital (CGTRH) between 2017 and 2023. Data sources include post-rape care (PRC) forms, clinician notes, quarterly reports, police reports, counsellor …

What To Know About Release Of Information, Authorization, And Records Requests, Jennifer Cosey

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

This article clarifies HIPAA regulations regarding the disclosure of protected health information (PHI). It distinguishes between a "Right of Access" request, where a patient directly seeks their own record (no authorization needed), and an "Authorization," which is required for disclosures beyond treatment, payment, or health care operations, or to third parties for ongoing access. The author details activities permissible without authorization, such as coordination of care, billing, and quality improvement. Specific examples are provided for situations requiring authorization, like disclosing PHI to attorneys or for marketing. The article also outlines seven essential elements for a HIPAA-compliant authorization form

Dentistry And The Law: What Ever Happened To The Ban On Covenants Not To Compete?, Daniel Schulte Jd

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) rule banning most employee non-competition agreements remains held up, despite a scheduled September 2024 effective date, due to ongoing court challenges with conflicting decisions. Recent changes at the FTC, including the appointment of a new chair (Andrew Ferguson) who previously opposed the ban, suggest a potential reversal or non-enforcement by the current Trump administration. While motions have been filed to hold appeals in abeyance, the FTC's formation of a new Joint Labor Task Force complicates the outlook, indicating continued focus on antitrust issues in the labor market. A clear outcome or timeline for the ban …

The Sports-Betting Market: A Road To Sports Betting As Viable Investing, Tyler Gottlieb

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

Since its legalization, sports betting has experienced rapid growth, both in terms of economic output and expansion into more states. The current system of sports betting in the United States requires individuals to place bets using a sportsbook. The sportsbook sets the lines on every bet. If an individual wins their bet, the sportsbook pays them money according to the listed odds. If an individual loses their bet, the sportsbook keeps the amount staked. Sportsbooks set lines in a way to ensure that on average, they make money on every bet. This system has been widely accepted, often based on …

Expanding Equity And Innovation In Pharmaceutical Law And Drug Development: Paying Clinical Trial Participants For Their Data, Steve Calandrillo, Bernadette Tosti, Jefferson Smith, Jamison Koeman

Articles

Bringing a drug to market is exceedingly expensive and exposes pharmaceutical manufacturers to significant legal risk. But when companies are successful, their profits make the PowerBall jackpot look like petty cash. Staggering rewards measure in the billions or millions for the firms, CEOs, pharmacies, drug benefit managers, data brokers, and many more actors in the pharmaceutical-to-patient pipeline. The only individuals who don’t get paid handsomely are the clinical trial participants, whose voluntary participation and data helped make those successes possible. It is long past time that we reform the legal and regulatory roadblocks to paying clinical trial participants in the …

The Role Of Private Law In Promoting Building Safety: The Case Of Singapore, Edward S. W. Ti

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Singapore is a tiny granite rock situated just north of the equator. Lacking land, and indeed any kind of natural resource, means that the trend for urban development in the city-state will always be densifi cation; 96 per cent of residents in Singapore already live in multi-owned housing, ie high-rise apartments. 1 Singapore is also a rapidly greying nation. 2 It has been observed that persons over 70 years old are four times more vulnerable in the event of a fi re, 3 and fi re safety is a critical aspect of building safety. Safety features and measures in the …

The Collision Course Between Outdated State Laws And Automated Vehicles, Wililam Hubbard, Colin Starger

Cardozo Law Review

America stands at the precipice of a vehicular revolution. Myriads of self-driving vehicles—often referred to as “automated vehicles” or “AVs”—are already rolling out across the nation, and innovators assert that AVs will make our roads safer, less congested, and more economically productive. However, reaching these dreams of self-driving utopias will require more than just technological progress. The uses of traditional vehicles are heavily regulated by hundreds of thousands of state laws that ensure public safety, health, and order. Will these traditional laws still make sense when AVs shift the paradigm? Despite the hype and optimism of many AV advocates, this …

Arbitrating With Indian Tribes: Separability, Tribal Sovereign Immunity, And Exhaustion Of Tribal Remedies, Paul F. Kirgis

Faculty Law Review Articles

Indian tribes have emerged as significant contributors to the national and regional economies, notably through industries such as gaming, natural resource extraction, technology, and consumer lending. This increasing commercial activity brings with it increasing commercial disputes. Both Indian tribes and their nonmember counterparts need a fair and reliable forum to ensure that agreements are performed, loans repaid, and avoidable harms compensated. But the complex legal landscape of tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction complicates dispute resolution involving tribes. Tribes’ status as sovereign entities raises challenging issues of federal and state court jurisdiction, tribal sovereign immunity, and exhaustion of tribal remedies. Arbitration offers …

Statewide Injunction: State Judicial Power And Meaningful Remedies, Constance C. Van Kley

Faculty Law Review Articles

As federal courts increasingly limit the scope of constitutional remedies, state courts have begun issuing statewide injunctions that extend protections beyond individual litigants. This article examines the doctrinal foundations and implications of such injunctions, arguing that they represent a legitimate exercise of state judicial power. By analyzing historical practices, procedural norms, and recent case law, the author contends that statewide injunctions can serve as essential tools for enforcing civil rights and ensuring meaningful relief. The piece calls for a reevaluation of remedial doctrines to better accommodate the evolving role of state courts in safeguarding constitutional guarantees.

Examining Pricing And Availability For Neglected Tropical Disease Therapies In The Us, Maple Goh, Kevin Outterson, Aaron S. Kesselheim

Faculty Scholarship

Background

Neglected tropical diseases primarily affect vulnerable populations in low-resource settings worldwide. In the US, neglected tropical diseases such as Chagas, soil-transmitted helminthiases, and other infections historically impacted immigrants but are increasingly relevant for US residents with climate change. We examined the pricing, prescribing rates, and supply of therapies used to treat neglected tropical diseases in the US and their implications for accessibility and patient care. Methods

A retrospective analysis of prescription rates, wholesale acquisition costs, and shortages was conducted for 11 treatment products from 2019 to 2024, aggregating data from Symphony Metys, First Databank, NAVLIN, Red Book, and the …

"What Shall Be Orthodox" In Polarized Times: Overview And Response To Commentators, Linda C. Mcclain, James E. Fleming

Faculty Scholarship

“If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.” Justice Robert Jackson wrote this celebrated passage in his majority opinion in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943), which protected the First Amendment right of Jehovah’s Witness children not to participate in a compulsory flag salute in public schools. In recent years, protests against imposed orthodoxy—usually invoking Barnette—have occurred in …

A Historical Case For A Robust But Non-Remedial Seventh Amendment, Jed Handelsman Shugerman

Faculty Scholarship

In Jarkesy, the Supreme Court rightly held that the Seventh Amendment required a jury trial for a case fundamentally similar to common law fraud, and it rightly limited the scope of the “public rights” exception to the Seventh Amendment. Grounded in historical and originalist methods, this essay makes four suggestions after Jarkesy:

1. Following Jarkesy, the judiciary should continue a more robust enforcement of the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial. The courts should eliminate the “public rights” exception to the Seventh Amendment, which does not appear to have an original link to the Seventh Amendment. The …

Dark Patterns As Disloyal Design, Johanna Gunawan, Woodrow Hartzog, Neil Richards, David Choffnes, Christo Wilson

Faculty Scholarship

Lawmakers have started to regulate “dark patterns,” understood to be design practices meant to influence technology users’ decisions through manipulative or deceptive means. Most agree that dark patterns are undesirable, but open questions remain as to which design choices should be subjected to scrutiny, much less the best way to regulate them.

In this Article, we propose adapting the concept of dark patterns to better fit legal frameworks. Critics allege that the legal conceptualizations of dark patterns are overbroad, impractical, and counterproductive. We argue that law and policy conceptualizations of dark patterns suffer from three deficiencies: First, dark patterns lack …

Looking Forward, Reflecting Back: The Promise Of Dispute Resolution To Reform The Criminal Legal System, Cynthia Alkon

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The criminal legal system in the United States is plagued by serious and systemic problems. There have been countless efforts at reform over the last many decades that have included changes in what is a crime, how crimes are punished, how prosecutors do their job, and changes in policing. Yet, despite these efforts, problems such as mass incarceration remain deeply embedded. It is easy to be swept up in pessimism when discussing the criminal legal system. Change is hard, at best incremental, and we seem to be in the beginning of an era of backlash against recent reforms. This is …

The Settlement Privacy-Transparency Matrix: Moving Beyond The Dichotomous Mindset In The Settlement Debate, Alyson Carrel, Peter K. Chan

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer once wrote, “The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.” Forty years after Owen Fiss’s seminal article “Against Settlement,” it is time to reimagine how we approach the settlement debate beyond traditional dichotomies. Just as Schopenhauer recognized that time and experience allow us to better understand our past, forty years of grappling with the settlement debate have given us the perspective to see its limitations, and now with emerging technologies, new possibilities. The ‘text’ of the debate—its dichotomous framing and distributive solutions—has shaped four decades of …

Psychology And Dispute Resolution: Looking Forward, Jennifer K. Robbennolt

Journal of Dispute Resolution

There is a long and deep history of interconnection between dispute resolution and psychology. Concepts like procedural justice permeate the literature. Psychologists have investigated and provided data about phenomena such as the fixed pie bias, impasse aversion, and reactive devaluation. Research drawing on the psychology of heuristics and biases has been influential, particularly in work on settlement decision making. Studies in this tradition have explored how framing, anchoring, anticipated regret, and different ways of considering options can influence the decisions made by disputants. Psychologists have explored the role of apologies in dispute resolution, the role of emotion in negotiation, and …

Extractivism And Water Crisis In The Moroccan Draa Oasis: Global South Reflections On Responsibility And Resistance, Ahmed El Khatabi

Journal of Maya Heritage

Abstract. The Draa Oasis in southeastern Morocco is experiencing severe water scarcity, driven by climate change and intensified by the expansion of watermelon agribusiness and desert tourism. This article explores how external investors, empowered by national agricultural policies, have disrupted traditional water governance systems rooted in collective management. Through ethnographic fieldwork involving interviews, focus groups, and spatial mapping, the study examines the socio-environmental consequences of groundwater depletion and land commodification. It argues that investors fail to assume ethical accountability for the ecological degradation they cause, despite being aware of the oasis’s fragile ecosystem. Meanwhile, local communities and civil society actors …

Beneath The Label - Evaluating The Fda Approval Of Copenhagen Classic Snuff As A Modified Risk Tobacco Product, Yisroel Grabie, Tafani Chowdhury, Sudeep Acharya

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

In this review, we critically evaluate the Food and Drug Administration's modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) status granted to a smokeless tobacco product (March 2023), Copenhagen Classic Snuff (CCS). This new status necessitates an assessment of the product CCS use and its public health impacts. We assess the impact of CCS as it relates to the reduction of lung cancer risk and the potential increased risk for nasopharyngeal cancer, chronic rhinitis, nicotine dependence, and other health hazards. Concerns persist regarding nicotine's harm and public misperception due to risk reclassification, and caution should be maintained to discourage novel snuff users. Advocating …

Property Clause Power Play: The Blm's Conservation Rule And Loper Bright, Meridian S. Wappett, Sandra B. Zellmer

Public Land & Resources Law Review

This article examines the implications of Loper Bright on public land management through rulemaking. Part II provides a comprehensive overview of the case, its holding, and its potential ramifications. Part III delves into the history of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), to illuminate the evolution and underlying rationale for agency deference. Part IV analyzes the constitutional framework underpinning the BLM’s statutory authority, rooted primarily in the Property Clause, which delegates the task of making “needful” rules governing public lands to Congress and to federal land management agencies. Finally, Part V argues that the Rule is valid, whether a reviewing court …

A Most Essential Power: The Case For Restoring Comprehensive Land Use Authority In Indian Country, Michelle Bryan

Public Land & Resources Law Review

Part I of this article provides a brief overview of allotment and its lingering jurisdictional quagmire on impacted reservations. Stepping outside of Indian Country, Part II then outlines the U.S. Supreme Court’s longstanding recognition of sweeping, area-wide government land use authority—authority it considers among the “most essential” and “least limitable.” The Court has never applied this established law when determining tribal sovereignty over land use. That application is long overdue.

Part III details how we arrived at this state of affairs—how tribes, despite starting with sovereign control over land use throughout their territories, experienced losses in that authority over time …

Water Knows No Boundaries: Tribal Jurisdiction Over Non-Indians' Off-Reservation Conduct That Threatens On-Reservation Tribal Water Resources, Wesley J. Furlong, Lori E. Blumenthal

Public Land & Resources Law Review

This Article begins by discussing Manoomin and Sauk-Suiattle, orienting the reader to how these complicated jurisdictional issues have been addressed by Tribal courts. Next, this Article sets forth the current framework under Montana and Merrion for determining the extent of Tribal civil jurisdiction over non-Indians. Next, this Article examines the caselaw establishing Tribal Nations’ inherent sovereign authority to exercise civil jurisdiction over non-Indian activities and conduct occurring on-reservation that threaten or affect Tribal water resources and rights. Finally, this Article examines the caselaw that lays the groundwork for extending Tribal Nations’ civil jurisdiction over non-Indian activities and conduct occurring off-reservation …

Treaty Justice: Charles Wilkinson's Homage To The Boldt Decision, Michael C. Blumm

Public Land & Resources Law Review

Charles Wilkinson, a beloved teacher, author, and advisor, gave his readers perhaps his most personal gift in Treaty Justice: The Northwest Tribes, the Boldt Decision, and the Recognition of Fishing Rights (U. Washington Press, 2024). Wilkinson finished the manuscript just a week before his unexpected death, at age 81, in 2023. The book is a blend of personal memoirs of countless encounters of people involved in the seminal Boldt decision–which revolutionized treaty fishing rights– and its aftermath, and part of legal history by an analyst who was acutely sensitive to the vagaries of both law and history. We are fortunate …

Abandoning The Iron Horse: Railroad Rights-Of-Way And The Implied Doctrine Of Reverter On Indian Reservations, Arthur B. Macomber

Public Land & Resources Law Review

Land title issues on Indian Reservations are notoriously but unnecessarily complex. Unsettled land titles and the resulting fragile land ownership status on Indian Reservations are well-known factors impeding productive land uses, the cure of environmental degradation, and Indian sovereignty, ownership, and control over sustainable land uses. Some lawsuits even question the existence of a Reservation itself. Land titles to many parcels on Indian Reservations have been split into thousands of owners. Using existing law and principles of equity, abandoned Reservation rights-of-way of many types do not have to sit unused and economically unproductive. Future lawsuits and other wasteful societal friction …

แนวทางในการกำหนดความรับผิดทางอาญาและวิธีการเพื่อความปลอดภัยต่อผู้กระทำความผิดซึ่งมีสภาวะจิตผิดปกติ (Guideline For Determining The Criminal Liability And Security Measures For Insane Offenders), Natchapol Jittirat

Chulalongkorn University Law Journal

หลักเกณฑ์ในการพิจารณาความรับผิดทางอาญาของผู้กระทำความผิดที่มีสภาวะจิตผิดปกตินับเป็นปัญหาสำหรับศาลและนักกฎหมายมาช้านานในอดีต เนื่องจากผู้กระทำความผิดบางรายอาจกระทำความผิดไปโดยไม่รู้สึกตัว เพราะมีสาเหตุมาจากความบกพร่องทางประสาท สมอง จิตใจ อารมณ์และความเครียด ซึ่งความผิดปกติทางจิตขนาดใดจึงจะนำมาพิจารณาว่าผู้นั้นไม่มีความผิด หรือมีความผิดแต่ควรยกเว้นโทษหรือลดโทษนี้ ศาลของประเทศอังกฤษได้วางหลักสำคัญไว้ในการพิจารณาคดี McNaghten’s (1843) ว่าต้องสันนิษฐานไว้ก่อนว่ามนุษย์ทุกคนมีจิตปกติ เว้นแต่จะมีข้อสันนิษฐานซึ่งสามารถพิสูจน์ได้ว่าขณะกระทำความผิดจำเลยได้รับความเจ็บปวดจากโรคทางจิตจนไม่ทราบเนื้อหาและสาระสำคัญของการกระทำ กล่าวคือไม่สามารถรู้ได้ว่าสิ่งนั้นถูกหรือผิด หลักเกณฑ์ดังกล่าวนี้ได้ถูกนำไปใช้อย่างแพร่หลายทั้งในสหรัฐอเมริกาและประเทศในภูมิภาคยุโรป ซึ่งนำไปสู่การตัดสินว่าจำเลยไม่มีความผิดโดยศาลจะมีคำสั่งให้ควบคุมตัวจำเลยไปรับการบำบัดรักษาที่สถานพยาบาล สำหรับการพิจารณาถึงความรับผิดของผู้ที่มีจิตบกพร่อง โรคจิต หรือจิตฟั่นเฟือน ตามแนวทางในการพิจารณาคดีของศาลนั้นหากผู้กระทำไม่รู้สำนึกของการกระทำย่อมไม่มีความผิดตามประมวลกฎหมายอาญา มาตรา 59 ถ้าหากผู้กระทำรู้สำนึกแต่ไม่สามารถรู้ผิดชอบ หรือไม่สามารถบังคับตนเองได้ถือเป็นเหตุยกเว้นโทษ และถ้าผู้กระทำความผิดยังสามารถรู้ผิดชอบอยู่บ้าง หรือยังสามารถบังคับตนเองได้บ้าง ผู้นั้นต้องรับโทษสำหรับความผิดนั้น โดยศาลจะลงโทษน้อยกว่าที่กฎหมายกำหนดไว้สำหรับความผิดนั้นเพียงใดก็ได้ตามมาตรา 65 ซึ่งจะเห็นได้ว่าในกรณีที่ศาลตัดสินว่าจำเลยไม่มีความผิดนี้อาศัยความตามมาตรา 59 ถือว่าผู้กระทำความผิดไม่รู้สำนึกซึ่งใช้หลักเกณฑ์เดียวกับบุคคลทั่วไปซึ่งหากไม่รู้สำนึกในการกระทำก็ย่อมไม่มีความผิด ดังปรากฏตามคำพิพากษาฎีกาที่ 8743/2544 คำพิพากษาฎีกาที่ 2590/2562 แต่สำหรับผู้กระทำความผิดที่มีจิตบกพร่อง โรคจิต หรือจิตฟั่นเฟือนนั้นได้กระทำความผิดไปโดยไม่รู้ถึง “สภาพ” และ “สาระสำคัญ” ของการกระทำจึงควรบัญญัติแยกไว้เป็นอีกมาตราหนึ่งให้ผู้นั้นไม่มีความผิดและหากผลของการกระทำความผิดมีความร้ายแรงต่อชีวิต ร่างกายหรือทรัพย์สินของผู้อื่นก็ควรให้เป็นดุลพินิจของศาลในการมีคำสั่งให้ส่งตัวผู้นั้นเข้ารับการบำบัดรักษาในสถานพยาบาลได้เช่นเดียวกับที่บัญญัติความไว้ใน มาตรา 48 นอกจากนี้ หากผู้กระทำความผิดยังสามารถรู้ผิดชอบหรือยังสามารถบังคับตนเองได้บ้างก็ควรมีเกณฑ์ลดโทษตามความร้ายแรงของการกระทำความผิดดังเช่นหลักเกณฑ์ตามประมวลกฎหมายอาญาของสาธารณรัฐฝรั่งเศสเพื่อให้เกิดความเป็นธรรมต่อผู้เสียหาย ทั้งยังควรนำวิธีการคุมประพฤติมาใช้บังคับหลังจากที่จำเลยพ้นโทษในกรณีที่ผู้นั้นได้กระทำความผิดร้ายแรงดังเช่น สาธารณรัฐฝรั่งเศสและประเทศอังกฤษ เพื่อป้องกันมิให้ผู้นั้นกลับมากระทำความผิดซ้ำขึ้นอีก

Breaking Barriers Exploring Guardianship & Public Administration Challenges Facing Egyptian Widows, Caroline Maher

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examines the influence of guardianship policies and the administrative infrastructure on the well-being of widows' families in Egypt. Widows in Egypt encounter significant challenges in exercising their guardianship rights due to patriarchal norms, bureaucratic hurdles, inefficient systems, and limited access to information. These obstacles can negatively impact their children's well-being, as well as economic and social stability. Despite social media activism, calls for administrative reforms, and legislative debates, no changes have occurred. This study aims to conduct in-depth exploratory qualitative research to analyze the challenges and limitations of current guardianship policies and administrative systems affecting widows’ families in …
