Telling Medical Stories: Sharing Information Among Doctors, Patients, And Families, Martha Minow Jan 1992

Telling Medical Stories: Sharing Information Among Doctors, Patients, And Families, Martha Minow

Utah Law Review

Dr. Stephen Hoffiann, in telling the story of his own medical training, revealed an attitude that Dr. Katz would have preferred: "With a magnanimity that borders on the incredible, patients treat us to themselves-that is, if we're lucky enough to really hear them." I would like to consider the stories doctors, patients, and families tell to and about one another as part of an inquiry into the ethics of medical encounters. My most basic question asks how doctors should communicate technical and especially statistical information, and whether they be obliged to ensure that patients and their families understand that information. …


Barnard V. Utah State Bar And Public Access To Private Entities Which Carry Out Governmental Functions: Is This Bar A Private Club?, David B. Dellenbach Jan 1992

Barnard V. Utah State Bar And Public Access To Private Entities Which Carry Out Governmental Functions: Is This Bar A Private Club?, David B. Dellenbach

Utah Law Review

Barnard carves out a significant 'exception to the cases liberally allowing public access to state bar records. One might argue that in light of Daily GazetteY- Sadler, and Florida's recent move to an open disciplinary process," the Barnard decision represents a step backward to the era of secrecy. Barnard is not a throwback to the former era, however, because it represents a situation in which there was little public interest in access, yet a significant interest in privacy. Courts and legislatures should compel public access from state bars because they carry out governmentally-delegated functions, not merely because they hope to …


Johnson V. Morton Thiokol And Handbook Disclaimers: Allowing Employers To Have Their Cake And Eat It Too, Todd M. Shaughnessy Jan 1992

Johnson V. Morton Thiokol And Handbook Disclaimers: Allowing Employers To Have Their Cake And Eat It Too, Todd M. Shaughnessy

Utah Law Review

Utah recently joined the growing number ofjurisdictions that recognize limitations on employers' absolute right to terminate employees. This recognition signals a departure from the traditional rule that allowed an employer to terminate an employee for "no cause, good cause, or even cause morally wrong without fear of liability." In particular, the Utah Supreme Court recognized an implied contract exception to the employment-at-will rule. According to the implied contract exception, an employer's promissory representations, including those found in employee handbooks, may be used to limit the employer's absolute discretion to terminate an employment relationship.


Causation In Fact In Omission Cases, David A. Fischer Jan 1992

Causation In Fact In Omission Cases, David A. Fischer

Utah Law Review

Cause in fact is fundamental to imposing liability in many kinds of civil and criminal actions. The term refers to the causal link between an act or omission and resulting damage or injury. Lawyers, judges, and scholars frequently think of cause in fact as a purely factual question, unaffected by policy issues, that can be resolved adequately under normal burden of proof rules. In contrast, proximate or legal cause rules are explicitly intended to implement policy decisions concerning how far to extend the scope of liability. In routine cases the determination of cause in fact appears to be simple and …


Reconciliation Of Civil Rights And Civil Liberties After Rav. V. City Of St. Paul: Free Speech, Antiharassment Policies, Multicultural Education, And Political Correctness At Arizona State University, Charles R. Calleros Jan 1992

Reconciliation Of Civil Rights And Civil Liberties After Rav. V. City Of St. Paul: Free Speech, Antiharassment Policies, Multicultural Education, And Political Correctness At Arizona State University, Charles R. Calleros

Utah Law Review

Much has been written in recent years about the rise in racial hostility on college campuses, about "hate speech" codes and educational measures adopted by many public universities in response to the hostilities, and about the issues of free speech and "political correctness" raised thereby. The debate is unlikely to be quieted by the United States Supreme Court's decision in R.AV. v. City of St. Paul, which raises new doubts about the constitutionality of a great many campus antiharassment policies. Some scholars have approached these issues painfully, reluctantly choosing between dearly held principles of equality and freedom of expression. In …


Effective Modes For Encouraging Faculty Involvement In Interdisciplinary Curriculum Development, Carol I. Lund Jan 1992

Effective Modes For Encouraging Faculty Involvement In Interdisciplinary Curriculum Development, Carol I. Lund

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The integration of vocational and academic classes is often recognized as an effective method to motivate students and involve them in career preparation. This is also a goal of the dropout prevention efforts of many school districts. In Baker County, Florida, as in other districts, teacher participation in integrative efforts is recognized as a crucial factor. This project examines curricula and instructional and leadership practices that led to the successful implementation of academic and vocational integration in a Florida middle school. The resultant success and modus operandi may be used as a model for encouraging faculty involvement in interdisciplinary curriculum …

The Efficacy Of Advance Organizers In Upper Elementary School Curriculum, Jean Hopper

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Additionally, two sample advance organizers are provided as a model for classroom application, along with caveats for advance organizer construction, presentation and usage. The third component of this study was an evaluation of selected advance organizer studies based on the work of Mayer (1979). The conclusion was that advance organizers do facilitate long term retention and conceptual understanding if prepared and presented properly using language and examples relevant …


The Labyrinth Of The Wind And The Artifice Of Eternity: A Study Of The Lyric Poetry Of William Butler Yeats, Danita Sain Stokes Jan 1992

The Labyrinth Of The Wind And The Artifice Of Eternity: A Study Of The Lyric Poetry Of William Butler Yeats, Danita Sain Stokes

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study of the lyric poetry of William Butler Yeats concentrates on his ideas about nature and art, with a focus on the imagery of the wind. Though each of Yeats's poems may be read and enjoyed individually, a study of the body of Yeats's lyric poems gives the reader a better understanding of a symbol such as the wind. As a whole, the poems form a narrative of the development of Yeats's mind; by looking closely at the single symbol of the wind, we gain insight into the development of Yeats's ideas about art and nature. In Yeats's early …

Interpreting Sacred Texts: Preliminary Reflections On Constitutional Discourse In China, Janet Ainsworth Jan 1992

Interpreting Sacred Texts: Preliminary Reflections On Constitutional Discourse In China, Janet Ainsworth

Faculty Articles

The 1982 Constitution of the People's Republic of China provides the foundation for a nation governed by the rule of law rather than by Party fiat. It remains unclear whether and to what extent this ambitious Constitution will be implemented in practice. In her article, Professor Ainsworth asserts that the way in which Western scholars to date analyzed Chinese constitutions demonstrates the ethnocentric assumptions inherent in Western scholarship. Professor Ainsworth suggests that Chinese constitutional discourse needs to be understood in a Chinese context, requiring a historical study of the traditional Chinese exegetical methodology used in interpreting the Confucian Classics. This …


Introduction: Mexican Perspectives On Economic, Political And Cultural Implications Of Free Trade, Henry Mcgee Jan 1992

Introduction: Mexican Perspectives On Economic, Political And Cultural Implications Of Free Trade, Henry Mcgee

Faculty Articles

Professor McGee introduces two papers submitted to the 1990 UCLA School of Law seminar entitled Law and Development in Latin America. The first paper, written before the onset of negotiations for a free trade treaty between Mexico and the United States, deals with the then new regulations of the Mexican Secretary of the Treasurer (Secretaria de la Hacienda) designed to sweep away a labyrinth of rules and procedures which had traditionally vexed foreign investors who dealt with the Mexican bureaucracy. The second paper concerns the irony which inheres in Mexico's treatment of Central American immigration, a problem relatively undiscussed in …
