From Patient Rights To Health Justice, Lindsay Wiley
From Patient Rights To Health Justice, Lindsay Wiley
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
Models emphasizing professional autonomy, patient rights, market power, and health consumerism are no longer adequate to address the increasingly social, collective nature of health law institutions, instruments, and norms. What is needed is a new model that expressly recognizes the public-alongside the patient, the provider, and the payer-as an important stakeholder and active participant in decisions about medical treatment, health care coverage, and allocation of scarce resources. In a previous article, the author looked to the environmental justice, reproductive justice, and food justice movements for inspiration in developing a "health justice" approach to eliminating social disparities in health. This Article …

Following New Lights: Critical Legal Research Strategies As A Spark For Law Reform In Appalachia, Nicholas F. Stump
Following New Lights: Critical Legal Research Strategies As A Spark For Law Reform In Appalachia, Nicholas F. Stump
American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy & the Law
The nascent “critical legal research” movement applies the constellation of critical theory to the American legal research regime. Work in this discourse has unpacked the means through which commercial print and online legal resources (e.g., Westlaw and Lexis) insidiously channel the efforts of legal researchers, essentially predetermining research outcomes. Although legal research is commonly conceived as a normatively neutral paradigm, such commercial homogenizing agents (paired with traditional methods of legal analysis) in fact reflect and perpetuate society’s dominant interests. As grounded in the existing literature, this Article outlines novel strategies that may together constitute one potential version of a critically …

Health Law As Social Justice, Lindsay Wiley
Health Law As Social Justice, Lindsay Wiley
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
Health law is in the midst of a dramatic transformation. From a relatively narrow discipline focused on regulating relationships among individual patients, health care providers, and third-party payers, it is expanding into a far broader field with a burgeoning commitment to access to health care and assurance of healthy living conditions as matters of social justice. Through a series of incremental reform efforts stretching back decades before the Affordable Care Act and encompassing public health law as well as the law of health care financing and delivery, reducing health disparities has become a central focus of American health law and …

Offsetting Programs: Struggling To Find An Equitable Solution Internationally, Silvia Fejka
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
Carbon offsetting can have some laudable goals, including protection of the most pristine resources left on earth. As a category, however, carbon offsetting and markets are inappropriate international solutions to climate change and environmental degradation. The two current carbon offsetting mechanisms have dubious environmental value and maintain destructive behavior rather than addressing current emissions. Climate change is an example of a collective action problem, where benefits are diffuse, creating little incentive for individual nations to act. This renders carbon offsetting programs particularly susceptible to free riders.
Dangerous Separation: An Ecosystem And Way Of Life In The West Bank At The Brink Of Destruction, Elena Katz Mink
Dangerous Separation: An Ecosystem And Way Of Life In The West Bank At The Brink Of Destruction, Elena Katz Mink
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
Israel is currently planning to build the separation wall on the edge of Battir, separating farmers from their fields. If the wall is constructed, residents face the specter of abandoning their way of life and severely restricting their movement, while at the same time the hydrology and ecology of the area will become severely imperiled. In early December, the Israeli Supreme Court (ISC) issued an interim decision ordering the Israeli Defense Ministry (IDM) to submit plans for an alternate route for the wall within ninety days, indicating that the Court is not willing to let Israeli’s security interests override consideration …

This paper examines the scope of FPIC as an aspect of environmental justice and a tool for poverty alleviation. It also explains some of the difficulties encountered by transnational enterprises when they attempt to utilize FPIC and the benefits that accrue to indigenous communities and transnational enterprises when the principle is properly applied.

On Fertile Ground: The Environmental And Reproductive Justice Movements As A Unified Force For Reforming Toxic Chemical Regulation, Angie Mccarthy
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
The Environmental Justice (“EJ”) and Reproductive Justice (“RJ”) movements share important common ground: They aim to improve socioeconomic conditions for those living in poverty, increase involvement of traditionally marginalized communities in policy decisions affecting them, and recognize the right of women to have healthy pregnancies and of parents to raise healthy children. The time is ripe for the EJ and RJ movements to collaborate and harness their joint potential to effect policy reform and ensure that vulnerable women are not exposed to toxic chemicals that harm their reproductive health.
Edible Communities: Institutionalizing The Lawn-To-Garden Movement To Promote Food Independence For Low-Income Families, Chelsea Tu
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
The local food movement arose in response to overarching political support for large-scale commercial agriculture at the federal and state levels, which still dominates the national food system. Beyond this, particular challenges for institutionalizing innovative food initiatives for low-income residents include a lack of sustained funding, zoning restrictions, insufficient training and institutional support, as well as locating and converting productive land in urban and suburban areas. Thus, despite the positive impact of local food systems, 14.9 % of U.S. households were still food insecure in 2011.

This article examines the strengths and weaknesses of the employee protection provisions contained in the major federal environmental statutes and makes recommendations for needed improvements. With these improvements, the United States can realize the benefits that well-protected employees can contribute to public health and environmental protection.
