Criminal Law - Insane Persons - Influence Of Mental Illness On The Parole Return Process, David G. Davies S.Ed., John H. Hess M.D.
Michigan Law Review
Defendants in the criminal process are divided into rigidly exclusive categories of mental health. The competent to stand trial are first separated from the incompetent. Then the competent are divided on the basis of their mental state at the time of their acts between the "sane" and the "insane." As long as these rigid categories are administered in an adversary trial system, some misdirection of victims of serious mental illness into the penal system is almost inevitable. Even where mental illness might otherwise prevent conviction, those accused of non-capital felonies are not likely to raise the question, and few courts …

Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff had satisfied all state requirements for the practice of medicine on the basis of work at an osteopathic college and residency at an osteopathic hospital, and had received a state license to practice medicine and surgery. Subsequently, plaintiff attended an AMA accredited medical college which awarded him a degree based in part on his osteopathic training. The Middlesex County Medical Society refused to admit plaintiff into active membership because he had not fulfilled the membership requirement of four years of study in a medical school approved by the AMA. As a result, two private hospitals terminated plaintiff's staff membership …
Reappraisal Of Eugenic Sterilization Laws, Elyce Zenoff
Reappraisal Of Eugenic Sterilization Laws, Elyce Zenoff
Cleveland State Law Review
Since sterilization is a drastic remedy and generally a permanent infringement of bodily integrity, those affected by laws authorizing it are entitled to every reasonable precaution. Thus far they have not been adequately protected. The sterilization of persons without legal authorization, before testing the constitutionality of the laws, sterilization under unconstitutional laws, and the lack of representation by counsel, are all clear illustrations of this disregard of rights. The fact that scientific opinion differs as to the value of sterilization certainly indicates that the merits of this type of legislation should be re-evaluated.
Lung Cancer Liability Of Cigarette Manufacturers, Richard H. Burgess
Lung Cancer Liability Of Cigarette Manufacturers, Richard H. Burgess
Cleveland State Law Review
The medical evidence is quite strong as to tobacco causation of lung cancer. However, this leaves several legal questions to be answered before a plaintiff can recover from a cigarette manufacturer. The primary question at hand is: Do cigarette manufacturers impliedly warrant that their product is not dangerous to health; or, if not, do they have a duty to warn the public or the consumers in some direct way of the probable dangers to health in smoking. To phrase it differently, recovery will most likely lie in either implied warranty or in negligence, until statutory provisions are made to help …
