Dangerous Decisions: An Essay On The Mathematics Of Clinical Violence Prediction And Involuntary Hospitalization, Douglas Mossman Md

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

This Article has two major purposes. First, it provides a mathematical
description of an ideal procedure for making clinical decisions about patients'
future violence, a description that provides a context for evaluating clinicians'
"dangerousness decisions." For purposes of illustration, the Article uses a specific clinical situation-deciding whether to hospitaize involuntarily a patient
based on his risk of harming another. The Article argues that the decision
involves balancing potential risks to third parties (often the patient's family
members) with the "massive deprivation of liberty and other potential
harms to the patient that could result from confinement. The mathematical
description of the …

Disclosures Of An Adoptee's Hiv Status: A Return To Orphanges And Leper Colonies?, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 343 (1995), Charles Chejfec

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

During the next decade, at least 125,000 children will become orphans of the AIDS epidemic and will need to be cared for by family members, caring adults or extended family members, or be placed in foster care. The movement toward greater disclosure of an adoptee's medical history reveals an almost complete failure to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in this area. The adoption process does not provide a specific time when an adoptee's medical conditions are to be disclosed to adopting parents. Although the adoption process did not always serve the child's best interest, today disclosure decisions pertaining to adoption are …

Medical Process Patents And Patient Privacy Rights, 14 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 131 (1995), Jeffrey A. Taylor

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The author analyzes the patentability of medical processes and the effect patentability has on the right to privacy essential in a physician-patient relationship. Part II of the comment provides a the legal background on the issue of the patentability of medical processes. Part III examines the impact of enforcing medical process patents and the effect disclosure of medical records has upon the privacy of the physician-patient relationship when owners of patents try to expose patent infringement. Part IV advocates that Congress should amend the Patent Act to preserve patient privacy rights when infringement is investigated. According to the author, such …

What The Civil Rights Movement Was And Wasn't, Cass R. Sunstein

Articles

In this David C. Baum Memorial Lecture on Civil Liberties and Civil Rights, Professor Sunstein begins by noting that participants in the civil rights movement were often backward looking and even conservative, invoking commitments from the nation's past and arguing against reliance on the judiciary and the Supreme Court. They stressed above all two time-honored liberal principles: freedom from desperate conditions and opposition to caste. It is wrong to say (as many now do) that the movement was founded on a principle of race neutrality, and also wrong to say (as some now do) that the movement was opposed to …

Dolan V. Tigard: The Myth And Reality Of Its Impact On Takings Jurisprudence And Land Use Regulation, Stephen Truesdale Carney

St. Thomas Law Review

In June of 1994, the evolution of constitutional law took another small step forward when the United States Supreme Court decided Dolan v. City of Tigard. This decision has specific implications for the fields of environmental and land-use law. While many see those implications as deleterious to environmental concerns, others see them as a necessary clarification in a narrow but previously vague area of law. In Dolan, the issue before the court was whether the city's demand that the petitioner dedicate her property along a floodplain to public use as a condition for a building permit approval violated the Fifth …

"We Can Do... Better":* Rights Of Singular Peoples And The United Nations Draft Declaration On The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples, Keith D. Nunes

St. Thomas Law Review

In the multiplication of European voyages of discovery and exploration between the years 1487 and 1780, the slow process of direct sea contact between regions and continents ultimately yielded a worldwide network of relationships for a new era, an era in which humankind continues to participate. North America was opened to European settlement as a result of an aborted series of English, French, and Dutch voyages intended to find a northern route to Asia. These voyages were attempts to erase the claim of monopoly to the navigation of trade routes in the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494, as well as …

Reforming International Institutions To Improve Global Environmental Relations, Agreement, And Treaty Enforcement, Steven M. Anderson

UC Law SF International Law Review

The number of international environmental agreements has increased dramatically over the last several decades. Unfortunately, signed global accords have not always translated into ratified, fully enforced treaties. Several factors contribute to this dilemma including: the constraints of international law, recurring debates between lesser developed countries and their northern neighbors over standard setting and treaty administration, overburdened treaty implementation bodies, and-as evidenced by the U.S. example-domestic politics.

Reforming the current international environmental legal structure can help resolve enforcement difficulties. This Note examines existing international environmental organizations- with particular focus on the Global Environment Facility-and points to procedures and practices which have …
