Seattle University Law Review

First, this Article will discuss schizophrenia and its impact on these individuals and their families. Family variables in the course of the disorder will be highlighted. Then, this Article will review the legal power afforded such families by ex parte provisions in civil commitment statutes using the involuntary examination portion of the Florida mental health code as a model. Finally, this Article will assess this system of civil commitment available to care-giving families in therapeutic jurisprudential terms, with recommendations for maximizing the therapeutic consequences and minimizing the antitherapeutic consequences of ex parte procedures.

Adverse Drug Reactions: Harnessing Experiential Data To Promote Patient Welfare, Barbara A. Noah Jan 2000

Adverse Drug Reactions: Harnessing Experiential Data To Promote Patient Welfare, Barbara A. Noah

Faculty Scholarship

Part I of this Article evaluates the pre-approval and post-approval regulatory framework governing prescription drugs, and the FDA's spontaneous reporting system for adverse events, as it contrasts that system with the regulatory mechanisms used to monitor risks associated with other products. Part II summarizes the recent series of prescription drug marketing withdrawals prompted by reports of unexpected adverse reactions. Finally, Part III offers some possible solutions designed to improve the efficiency of postapproval surveillance so that fewer patients will suffer the consequences of unexpected adverse drug reactions and interactions. This Article concludes that the existing regulatory system requires fundamental reprioritization …

The Alienation Of Fathers, Linda Kelly Jan 2000

The Alienation Of Fathers, Linda Kelly

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

By evaluating immigration and custody law from a father's perspective and thereby uncovering and addressing the biases held against men, both fathers and mothers will achieve greater recognition. Beyond revealing gender discrimination, such a study also demonstrates the disparate views still harbored toward unmarried parents. Examining custody and immigration law with an emphasis on these issues will hopefully foster a dialogue that brings the law in line with the reality of today's families and promotes each family member's individual potential.

The Secret Journal Of Sister Jess: A True Story In Honor Of Oliver W. Hill, Sr., Esq., Jonathan K. Stubbs Jan 2000

The Secret Journal Of Sister Jess: A True Story In Honor Of Oliver W. Hill, Sr., Esq., Jonathan K. Stubbs

Law Faculty Publications

Oliver Hill places his finger squarely on a modem struggle, namely, the idea that human beings can be both one and many. Many humans seem to think that it is impossible to have more than one identity. For example, suppose a black person says ''I am a human being first and my color is secondary." Some people hearing this statement would interpret it as a (foolish) repudiation of one's "racial" identity. To some the statement means that he wants to be a human being rather than a black person. That means he must be bleached of his blackness. Thus, in …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Criminal Law And Procedure, Michael Edmund O'Neill Jan 2000

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Criminal Law And Procedure, Michael Edmund O'Neill

University of Richmond Law Review

The Commonwealth of Virginia is so named (as opposed to being denominated simply a "state") because the term "commonwealth" is used to indicate a government in which "supreme power is vested in the people."' That term is particularly apt, for in what better way does a government provide for the common weal of its people than by protecting them against crime, while at the same time respecting their individual rights and liberties? This is a delicate balance, one that is reflected in this survey of the most recent developments in Virginia criminal law and procedure. The legislative enactments and judicial …

Farms, Their Environmental Harms, And Environmental Laws, J.B. Ruhl Jan 2000

Farms, Their Environmental Harms, And Environmental Laws, J.B. Ruhl

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Farms are one of the last uncharted frontiers of environmental regulation in the United States. Despite the substantial environmental harms they cause-habitat loss and degradation, soil erosion and sedimentation, water resources depletion, soil and water salinization, agrochemical releases, animal wastes, nonpoint source water pollution, and air pollution-environmental law has given them a virtual license to do so. When combined, the active and passive safe harbors farms enjoy in most environmental laws amount to an anti-law that finds no rational basis given the magnitude of harms farms cause. This paper comprehensively documents the environmental harms farms cause and the safe harbors …

Left Over Rights, Daria Roithmayr Jan 2000

Left Over Rights, Daria Roithmayr

Publications

This Essay focuses on Duncan Kennedy's argument for a "post-rights" position, in the wake of the earlier critical legal studies critique of rights and the ensuing response by Critical Race Theorists. I argue that, notwithstanding Kennedy's loss of faith in rights discourse, rights talk might still be pragmatically useful for communities of color to operate strategically within the accepted legal framework, or to subvert that framework in order to advance particular political commitments for particular communities of color at particular moments in history.


Choosing The Lesser Evil: Comments On Besharov's "Child Abuse Realities", Margaret F. Brinig Jan 2000

Choosing The Lesser Evil: Comments On Besharov's "Child Abuse Realities", Margaret F. Brinig

Journal Articles

Determining the degree of state intervention into intra-family decision making requires an unhappy choice between allowing abuse to continue or interfering with some families that would be better left alone. Mr. Besharov introduces the possible harms associated with the increased involvement of the state but fails to fully comprehend the circumstances that necessitate such involvement. Evils bracket the phenomenon discussed in Mr. Besharov's paper and this one. The difference in our approach lies in the choice we think is the lesser evil of the two, not that we think that either the harms associated with state involvement or the risk …
