Cancer And Toxic Substances: The Problem Of Causation And The Use Of Epidemiology, Junius C. Mcelveen Jr., Pamela S. Eddy

Cleveland State Law Review

This article seeks to illuminate the difficulties in finding causation between cancer development and toxic substances.

Section V analyzes how the epidemiology of disease and toxic substances is treated by courts. Section …


The Federal Judiciary's Role In The Prevention Of Communicable Diseases In State Prisons , Anthony L. Paccione Jan 1984

The Federal Judiciary's Role In The Prevention Of Communicable Diseases In State Prisons , Anthony L. Paccione

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Control over the spread of communicable diseases in prisons is a particularly important goal. The prison setting compounded with the high incidence of disease among entering inmates creates a potent combination for the spread of communicable diseases, such as AIDS and tuberculosis. Insufficient state legislation and unresponsive prison administrators have forced prisoners to seek federal judicial relief. However, federal courts have been reluctant to intervene due to the state interests of federalism and separation of powers. The prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment is not limited to specific acts directed at selected individuals, but is equally applicable to general prison …

Apartheid Baltimore Style: The Residential Segregation Ordinances Of 1910-1913, Garrett Power

Faculty Scholarship

On May 15, 1911, Baltimore Mayor J. Barry Mahool signed into law an ordinance for “preserving the peace, preventing conflict and ill feeling between the white and colored races in Baltimore City.” This ordinance provided for the use of separate blocks by African American and whites and was the first such law in the nation directly aimed at segregating black and white homeowners. This article considers the historical significance of Baltimore’s first housing segregation law.

Legislation And Regulation Jan 1982

Legislation And Regulation

International Journal for the Study of Animal Problems

The idea of new federal regulation on the care and use of animals in research is no longer novel; bills that would control and refocus the conduct of animal experimentation in the U.S. have been pending since the last session of Congress. Last autumn, however, a new phase in the process began. On 13-14 October 1981, the House Subcommittee on Science, Research, and Technology held information-gathering public hearings to evaluate existing bills and possibly formulate its own legislation.

Life And Death Decisions In The Nursery: Standards And Criteria For Withholding Lifesaving Treatment From Infants, Steven R. Smith Jan 1982

Life And Death Decisions In The Nursery: Standards And Criteria For Withholding Lifesaving Treatment From Infants, Steven R. Smith

Faculty Scholarship

That the conduct of human affairs does not always conform to the requirements of the law is a surprise to no one. But in few areas of critical life and death decisions is there such a disparity between commonly recognized principles of law and developing medical practice as exists in the area of withholding lifesaving medical care from infants, notably defective infants. The law is said to restrict physicians and parents from withholding lifesaving treatment from infants for the purpose of causing their deaths. Yet it is reported that it is not uncommon for lifesaving treatment to be denied severely …

Medical Care And Procompetitive Reform, T. R. Marmor, Richard Boyer, Julie Greenberg May 1981

Medical Care And Procompetitive Reform, T. R. Marmor, Richard Boyer, Julie Greenberg

Vanderbilt Law Review

It is not the purpose of this Article to reject all features of procompetitive proposals. Competitive health plans, multiple health plan choice, provider and consumer cost consciousness, and antitrust activity all may have some place in a larger strategy to rationalize the medical care system. Each of the proposals has some advantages in terms of increasing consumer choice and altering the balance of power between existing actors. As an approach to universal medical care system reform, however, competition alone is inadequate. In fact, one could argue that the most technically feasible way to both rationalize the medical care system and …


Tort—Parental Immunity—Merrick V. Sutterlin, 93 Wn. 2d 411, 610 P.2d 891 (1980), Frederick W. Grimm Mar 1981

Tort—Parental Immunity—Merrick V. Sutterlin, 93 Wn. 2d 411, 610 P.2d 891 (1980), Frederick W. Grimm

Washington Law Review

This note outlines the origins of the doctrine of parentalftort immunity and its development in Washington, placing special emphasis on the doctrine's underlying policies and their applicability in automobile negligence cases. This note then discusses the problems which may arise from the Merrick court's failure to abolish the parental immunity entirely. Looking to the future, this note suggests that the immunity be abolished in favor of a standard of care recognizing the legal duty of a parent to act as a reasonably prudent parent.
