Note: Enforcing The Right To An "Appropriate" Education: The Education For All Handicapped Children Act Of 1975, John G. Douglass Jan 1979

Note: Enforcing The Right To An "Appropriate" Education: The Education For All Handicapped Children Act Of 1975, John G. Douglass

Law Faculty Publications

Congress passed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 197 in response to the need for increased funding brought about by the widespread recognition by courts and state legislatures of the right of handicapped children to an adequate education. Although the Act sets forth general requirements states must meet in order to qualify for receipt of federal funds, it does not prescribe the specific educational programs local schools must make available in order to fulfill those requirements. Instead, the heart of the federal control mechanism is a system of procedural .safeguards which provides for parental involvement in educational placement …

Postsecondary And Vocational Education Programs And The "Otherwise Qualified" Provision Of Section 504 Of The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, Marc P. Charmatz, Andrew S. Penn Oct 1978

Postsecondary And Vocational Education Programs And The "Otherwise Qualified" Provision Of Section 504 Of The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, Marc P. Charmatz, Andrew S. Penn

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

While the Rehabilitation Act defines a "handicapped individual,'' neither the language of section 504 nor its legislative history sheds much light on the exact meaning of the term ''otherwise qualified handicapped individual.'' This article will argue that the definition of this term must be broad enough to include severely handicapped persons, the primary group that Congress intended to benefit and protect in enacting section 504. Focussing on the area of postsecondary education, this article will argue that the interpretation developed in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) Regulation most effectively fulfills the purposes which Congress intended in enacting …


Private Rights Of Action, 27 Depaul L. Rev. 1117 (1978), Michael P. Seng Jan 1978

Private Rights Of Action, 27 Depaul L. Rev. 1117 (1978), Michael P. Seng

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

In order for Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to practically prohibit employment discrimination against handicapped persons, a broad array of effective and prompt remedies is needed. In this Article, the author examines judicial findings of legislative intent to create private causes of action in the enactment of various civil rights legislation and concludes that a private cause of action is an available mechanism to enforce the federal statutory scheme prohibiting discrimination in the employment of handicapped individuals. While Sections 503 and 504 are silent as to whether a private cause of action exists, Professor Seng …

The Wicked Witch Is Almost Dead: Buck V. Bell And The Sterilization Of Handicapped Persons, Robert L. Burgdorf, Mary Pearce Burgdorf Jan 1977

The Wicked Witch Is Almost Dead: Buck V. Bell And The Sterilization Of Handicapped Persons, Robert L. Burgdorf, Mary Pearce Burgdorf

Journal Articles

Judgment at Nuremberg 1 concerned the criminal trial of a former German judge who, under Hitler's Third Reich, had ordered involuntary sexual sterilization operations to be performed upon Jewish men and women. In a famous scene from that screenplay and movie, the defense counsel, Rolfe, cross-examines a German law professor, Dr. Wieck, in regard to the legality of such practices: Rolfe (continuing) Dr. Wieck, you referred to "novel National Socialist measures introduced, among them sexual sterilization." Dr. Wieck, are you aware that this was not invented by National Socialism, but had been advanced for years before as a weapon in …

Legislative Notes: The Education Of All Handicapped Children Act Of 1975, Donald W. Keim Oct 1976

Legislative Notes: The Education Of All Handicapped Children Act Of 1975, Donald W. Keim

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Part I reviews the landmark judicial decisions which have established the right of handicapped children to participate in free, public education. The basic provisions of the Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 are then presented in Part II. The funding provisions are discussed in Part III with particular emphasis upon the tension between the promise of federal largesse and the expense of compliance with statutory and judicial requirements. Part IV reviews prior efforts to obtain judicial recognition of a substantive right to an appropriate education and suggests some ways in which the 1975 Act may alter the framework …

The Right To An Adequate Income And Employment: A Reply To Professor Bernstein, David L. Chambers Jan 1976

The Right To An Adequate Income And Employment: A Reply To Professor Bernstein, David L. Chambers

Book Chapters

Bernsteins's Paper advances no constitutional arguments for requiring the government to ensure economic security for retarded citizens. His omission is justified not merely by the alternative focus he has chosen, but also by the absence of any sound or vendible constitutional arguments to advance. There remain, however, important roles for attorneys.


The Principle Of The Least Restrictive Alternative For Mentally-Retarded Persons: The Constitutional Issues, David L. Chambers Jan 1976

The Principle Of The Least Restrictive Alternative For Mentally-Retarded Persons: The Constitutional Issues, David L. Chambers

Book Chapters

Mentally retarded people are people. When strong reasons exist to treat them differently from other people, they should be provided the necessary services, restraint, or protection through means that intrude as little as possible on their freedom to live the life that others are permitted to live. "Normalization" is the term professionals use to define the goal and the process of helping mentally retarded citizens lead a "normal" life. The attainment of this goal involves undoing the multitude of formal constrictions governments have typically placed on the retarded citizen's freedom: his place of residence, his schooling, his control over his …


The Definition Of Disability In Social Security And Supplemental Security Income: Drawing The Bounds Of Social Welfare Estates, Lance Liebman Jan 1976

The Definition Of Disability In Social Security And Supplemental Security Income: Drawing The Bounds Of Social Welfare Estates, Lance Liebman

Faculty Scholarship

Federal aid to the disabled is a vast enterprise; over nine billion dollars are annually paid to five million beneficiaries. In this Article, Professor Liebman points out how the ad hoc nature of social welfare legislation and programming has resulted in a system that produces inconsistent and sometimes inequitable determinations of disability. The present system, he argues, draws significant economic and social distinctions among the disabled, as well as distinctions between the disabled and the unemployed, that have been inadequately explained and justified. By focusing on worker expectations generated by the administration of our disability programs, and on the structural …


Sterilization, State Action, And The Concept Of Consent, Monroe E. Price, Robert A. Burt Jan 1975

Sterilization, State Action, And The Concept Of Consent, Monroe E. Price, Robert A. Burt

Articles

A line demarking the propriety of state intervention into the lives of individuals has never been adequately drawn. It is not surprising that such a line is practically nonexistent, from the point of view of legal analysis, when the people subject to intervention are considered mentally retarded. Too infrequently the medical and privacy rights of these individuals go unrecognized and unheeded. There are several factors which collectively account for this.

Insurance -- 1954 Tennessee Survey, Robert W. Sturdivant Aug 1974

Insurance -- 1954 Tennessee Survey, Robert W. Sturdivant

Vanderbilt Law Review

There were only two cases reported during the survey period on the subject of liability insurance. In the first of these, Rural Education Ass'n, Inc. v. American Fire & Casualty Co., the insured had notice of an accident on the day it occurred. Suit for injuries growing out of the accident was filed nearly seven months later, and not until the day after suit was filed did the insured notify the insurer of the accident. After judgment was obtained against it, the insured brought the present suit against its insurer. The insurance policy required that notice be given "as soon …

Ill Effects Of A Well-Intentioned Law: The Rights Of The Handicapped Overlooked, Robert L. Burgdorf Jan 1972

Ill Effects Of A Well-Intentioned Law: The Rights Of The Handicapped Overlooked, Robert L. Burgdorf

Journal Articles

Indiana's Public Law No. 162, which was signed into law in 1972, is an admirable achievement. The statute consolidated and clarified the procedures to be employed by schools in suspending, expelling or excluding students. The rights of students were closely guarded through the clear enumeration of the requirements of due process in this area. Written notice, a relatively formal hearing, the right to be represented by counsel, the right to cross-examine witnesses, a written decision and record of the proceedings, and an appeal procedure are all specifically mandated by the law whenever a child may be suspended, expelled or excluded. …

Voluntary Euthanasia, Arval A. Morris Apr 1970

Voluntary Euthanasia, Arval A. Morris

Washington Law Review

To avoid the possibility of confusion, it is necessary to distinguish voluntary euthanasia from other similar, but not necessarily related situations. By voluntary euthanasia I refer to one specific situation, and to no other. Any definition of the principle of voluntary euthanasia must lay emphasis on the word "voluntary" as it specifically applies to the right of an adult person who is in command of his faculties to have his life ended by a physician, pursuant to his own intelligent request, under specific conditions prescribed by law, and by painless means. Thus, voluntary euthanasia involves at least two willing persons—a …


Workmen's Compensation--Encouraging Employment Of The Handicapped In Michigan: A Proposal For Revision Of The Michigan Second Injury Fund, Michigan Law Review Dec 1968

Workmen's Compensation--Encouraging Employment Of The Handicapped In Michigan: A Proposal For Revision Of The Michigan Second Injury Fund, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Employment of the handicapped is clearly a proper concern of the state. Unemployed, such a person is a burden on his family and on the state; welfare and relief payments to such a person needlessly increase costs to both the state and local governments supporting such programs. Employed, the handicapped person is a self-supporting, stable member of the community; he becomes a taxpayer rather than a tax consumer. There are also important moral and social considerations which may be simply summarized stating that no person who is able to work should be needlessly denied employment. In short, any continued waste …

Toward Uniform Guardianship Legislation, William F. Fratcher

Michigan Law Review

The Model Probate Code, part IV of which covers guardianship of the persons and property of infants and mental incompetents, was published in 1946 under the auspices of the University of Michigan Law School. It was prepared for the Probate Law Division of the Section of Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law of the American Bar Association by its Model Probate Code Committee in cooperation with the research staff of the Law School. No state has adopted the Model Probate Code in its entirety, but parts of it have been enacted in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, …

Social Security Disability Determinations: The Burden Of Proof On Appeal, Michigan Law Review Jun 1965

Social Security Disability Determinations: The Burden Of Proof On Appeal, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In 1956, the Social Security Act was amended to provide monthly disability insurance benefits to qualifying individuals under a uniform national program administered by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Under this program, a claimant is entitled to disability benefits if he is unable to "engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to be of long continued and indefinite duration." This definition and its accompanying statutory standards were purposely made conservative in order to minimize the problems inherent in initiating the program; it was contemplated that …

Insurance -- 1960 Tennessee Survey, William R. Andersen

Vanderbilt Law Review

One of the most delicate problems in insurance underwriting is that of describing the events whose occurrence is the primary condition of the insurer's obligation to pay. Several interesting cases were decided during the survey period involving disputes over whether or not an insured event had occurred.


Workmen's Compensation - Benefits - Exclusiveness Of Schedule Provision, Mark Shaevsky Mar 1958

Workmen's Compensation - Benefits - Exclusiveness Of Schedule Provision, Mark Shaevsky

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff received benefits under the schedule provisions of the Michigan workmen's compensation statute for amputation of four fingers and one leg. Upon the expiration of payments the hearing officer awarded additional recovery for plaintiff's total disability resulting from the amputation. After subtracting compensation received for the specified losses, the appeal board affirmed. On appeal to the supreme court, held, affirmed by an equally divided court. The legislature intended the schedule provisions to be irreducible minimum awards, not exclusive compensation. Curtis v. Hayes Wheel Co., which construed schedule allowances as barring further recovery for total and permanent disability, is …
