The Continuum Of Contractual Commitment, David V. Snyder

Pepperdine Law Review

Contracts frequently call for one or more differentiated levels of contractual commitment. Although contractual liability in the common law is said to be strict liability, and a claim that a good attempt was made is said to be no defense, often a party promises only to try. Contract theory in the United States struggles with departures from the paradigm of strict liability, and it has failed to fully consider the continuum of contractual commitment. To encompass the range of assent-based commitment and its consequent liability, U.S. contract theory needs to distinguish more clearly between (1) promises to try, which do …

Liberty In Death? An Analysis Of The Ethics And Laws Regarding Physician-Assisted Suicide, Ross Leavitt

DePaul Journal of Health Care Law

I seek to analyze physician-assisted suicide with the following two goals in mind: (1) Evaluating how ethical and legal arguments surrounding suicide developed throughout history and how they inform our understanding today; (2) What a regulatory scheme governing physician-assisted suicide looks like and if it can adequately safeguard the interests of the individual and the collective.

Uninformed Consent: Legal Failures In The Treatment Of Female Patients, Eva Zagarzhevskaya

DePaul Journal of Health Care Law

Surgeries are a common practice globally, with 51.4 million procedures performed in the United States alone. [1] Going in for a procedure typically has a variety of risks involved such as shock, wound infection, or a bad reaction to anesthesia. [2] However, a risk no patient should have to consider is the risk of an alternative exam being performed on them without their knowledge or consent during surgery. Yet, there is no federal statute preventing this practice. Rather, in 34% of US states, doctors do not need their patient’s consent to have medical students and other doctors perform invasive exams …

Cybersecurity Disparities In U.S. Healthcare: Regulatory Gaps, Equity Failures, And Systemic Risks, Erica Patterson

DePaul Journal of Health Care Law

U.S. healthcare relies on digital infrastructure that now shapes clinical safety. However, the governing law remains a patchwork. The HIPAA Security and Breach Notification Rules, layered with uneven federal and state mandates and voluntary frameworks, do not yield a clear, enforceable floor of protection for small, rural  hospitals which are institutions with thin budgets, legacy systems, limited vendor leverage, and scarce IT staff. This Article identifies the gap, namely that minimum safeguards are not articulated as testable outcomes that low-resource providers can implement and sustain, and offers a remedy. Using doctrinal analysis and comparative assessment of federal and state regimes …

Diversity Regulations For Clinical Trials & The Underrepresentation Of Native American Women, Alka Meresh

DePaul Journal of Health Care Law

The exclusion of women and racial minorities from research currently compromises the generalizability of findings. Native American women, are particularly underrepresented in clinical trials due to the complicated history between Native American health and the US government. Congress, the NIH, and the FDA are the most prominent actors involved in regulating the diversity of clinical trial participants. This article will identify and analyze the deficiencies of the current regulations promoting diversity in clinical trials and suggest some solutions to build community with Indigenous communities and promote their participation in clinical trials.

Never Trust, Always Verify, Securing Medicare's Future To Defend Against Ai Driven Cyber Threats, Dana G. Jones

DePaul Journal of Health Care Law

Healthcare cybersecurity stands at a pivotal juncture, analogous to the Cold War's most perilous moments. When President Ronald Reagan declared "trust but verify"^[1] during nuclear disarmament negotiations with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, he established systematic verification as the cornerstone of security in high-stakes environments where the cost of misplaced trust meant potential human extinction. Today, the rapid integration of artificial intelligence and networked medical devices into America's healthcare infrastructure has created stakes equally grave for the nation's sixty-five million Medicare beneficiaries^[2]; however, the threat landscape has evolved beyond Reagan's paradigm. Modern healthcare cannot afford even conditional …

Death Wish: A Comprehensive Analysis Of Physician Assisted Suicide, Janna George

DePaul Journal of Health Care Law

Physician-assisted suicide is an extremely complex and controversial legal issue, deeply rooted in morality, legality, and ethics. Countries around the world are split as to how to approach this concept, with some permitting physician-assisted suicide under particular circumstances, and others strictly prohibiting it. ^[1] This division is evidence of the subject’s complex underpinnings. According to the United States Declaration of Independence, all Americans are deserving of certain unalienable rights, “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”^[2] But what about the right to die?

There are a number of reasons as to why physician assisted suicide is complicated, including …
