Constitutional Aspects Of Physician-Assisted Suicide After Lee V. Oregon, Simon Canick

Faculty Scholarship

On November 8, 1994, Oregon voters narrowly passed the highly controversial Death with Dignity Act (Measure 16), which marked the first time that physician-assisted suicide was explicitly legalized anywhere in the world. In Lee v. Oregon, a group of physicians, several terminally ill persons, a residential care facility, and individual operators of residential care facilities sought to enjoin enforcement of the new law, claiming various constitutional infirmities. The U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon enjoined enforcement of the law, acknowledging that it raised important constitutional issues including possible violations of the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of …

Healer-Patient Privilege: Extending The Physician-Patient Privilege To Alternative Health Practitioners In California, Betty F. Lay

UC Law Journal

As the nature of healthcare in the United States evolves to include alternative therapies, it is reasonable to ask whether patients who seek medical treatment from alternative health practitioners are entitled to invoke the same testimonial privilege as that accorded to patients who seek treatment from conventional medical doctors.

In her Note, the author explores the merits of applying the physician-patient privilege to the alternative healthcare setting. The analysis also considers alternative legal schemes for preserving the confidentiality of patients' communications, such as the existence of voluntary ethical codes of conduct and the state constitutional right to privacy. The author …

The Clear View Of The Cathedral: The Dominance Of Property Rules, Richard A. Epstein

Faculty Articles

It is one thing to articulate a distinction; it is another to determine how it should be used. Although their work was pathbreaking in many ways, Calabresi and Melamed nonetheless failed to address systematically the challenge of deciding whether legal protection via a property or a liability rule should be conferred to holders of particular sorts of assets, or why. It is to that question that I shall address myself here. I shall lay out my cards clearly at the beginning. In a world in which transaction costs were zero, where all disputes could be costlessly resolved, the choice between …

Employment Law: Courts And Contracts, Richard A. Epstein

Faculty Articles

There are clearly deep divisions of opinion in New Zealand on the relationship between the courts and the Employment Contracts Act 1991 (ECA). These address both substantive and jurisdictional issues. Thus, the central dispute concerns the way courts should interpret the various provisions of the Act. The second concerns the question of whether a specialized court should have primary responsibility over administering and interpreting the Act. Clearly, the two questions are related, for the choice of tribunal is likely to have some systematic effects on the manner of interpretation. But as a foreigner, I plan to avoid these specific controversies …
