The Discovery Of Medical Records Maintained By Health Care Facilities: Inconsistent Law In Need Of Legislative Correction, Susan O. Scheutzow, Anthea R. Daniels Jan 1991

The Discovery Of Medical Records Maintained By Health Care Facilities: Inconsistent Law In Need Of Legislative Correction, Susan O. Scheutzow, Anthea R. Daniels

Journal of Law and Health

This article will review current law in Ohio regarding the protection of medical records maintained by Ohio health care facilities. The Ohio law of privileged communications between health care professionals and patients also will be traced to show how only communications between patients and their physicians, dentists, psychologists, and social workers are currently protected. Since similar public policy reasons may apply to the protection of communications between a wider range of health care professionals and their patients as those communications with physicians, dentists, psychologists, and social workers, this article will discuss why the public policy reasons supporting the initial adoption …


Nursing Home Contracts: Is It Time For Bad Faith To Come Out Of Retirement?, Charles A. Lattanzi Jan 1991

Nursing Home Contracts: Is It Time For Bad Faith To Come Out Of Retirement?, Charles A. Lattanzi

Journal of Law and Health

For certain types of contracts, the remedy for the breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing has been found to lie in tort. Until the Supreme Court's ruling in Pilot Life Ins. Co. v. Dedeaux, courts were rapidly extending the application of the tort of bad faith breach of contract into areas beyond the traditionally accepted realm of insurance contracts. Most significant for the purposes of this note was the expansion into the area of health care services, specifically health maintenance organizations. Perhaps because of the chilling effect Pilot Life has had upon this form of …

Child Support For Adult Disabled Children: New Texas Legislation., Dan R. Price Jan 1991

Child Support For Adult Disabled Children: New Texas Legislation., Dan R. Price

St. Mary's Law Journal

In 1989, the Texas legislature modified the Texas Family Code by relaxing the criteria necessary to allow awards of support to adult disabled children. Texas has historically recognized, through both state and case law, that parents have both a moral and legal obligation to support minor unemancipated children, but only until the age of majority. An exception to the limitation of parental support only until the age of majority is the “disability exception.” Many jurisdictions recognize that when a minor child suffers from a disability and is incapable or unable to take care of themselves, parental support may extend past …


Pyrrhic Victories And Glorious Defeats: Why Defendants Are Winning And Plaintiffs Are Losing The Struggle Over Actual Malice And Fictionalized Quotations., Richard A. Gonzales Jan 1991

Pyrrhic Victories And Glorious Defeats: Why Defendants Are Winning And Plaintiffs Are Losing The Struggle Over Actual Malice And Fictionalized Quotations., Richard A. Gonzales

St. Mary's Law Journal

This article reviews Masson v. New Yorker Magazine, a case of fabricated quotations. The article looks first at the legal background and Supreme Court's development of the actual malice standard. An analysis of the problem through journalistic ethics and investigation of the difficulties confronting libel plaintiffs will follow. Finally, the comment explores the misquotation problem from both a legal and a journalistic perspective.


Oil In The Persian Gulf War: Legal Appraisal Of An Environmental Warfare., Margaret T. Okorodudu-Fubara Jan 1991

Oil In The Persian Gulf War: Legal Appraisal Of An Environmental Warfare., Margaret T. Okorodudu-Fubara

St. Mary's Law Journal

Oil, modern history’s most “powerful” natural economic resource stood at the epicenter of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and became the latest unconventional weapon of warfare. The objective of this Article is to assess the legal implications of this recent environmental warfare involving the “oil weapon,” the first of its kind in recorded history. The experiences from national and international wars demonstrate one sure victim of wars, even barring human losses, is the environment. The delicacy of mankind’s planetary ecosystem necessitates urgency addressed to protecting the environment in the international struggle for arms control and disarmament agreement. This Article indicates …


A Trial Court's Refusal To Question Prospective Jurors About The Specific Contents Of Pretrial Publicity Which They Had Read Or Heard Did Not Violate A Defendant's Sixth Amendment Right To An Impartial Jury, Or Fourteenth Amendment Right To Due Process., Karen A. Cusenbary Jan 1991

A Trial Court's Refusal To Question Prospective Jurors About The Specific Contents Of Pretrial Publicity Which They Had Read Or Heard Did Not Violate A Defendant's Sixth Amendment Right To An Impartial Jury, Or Fourteenth Amendment Right To Due Process., Karen A. Cusenbary

St. Mary's Law Journal

In Mu'Min v. Virginia, the United States Supreme Court held a defendant has no right to ask jurors about the potential influence of prejudicial pretrial publicity. A defendant may ask only if the jurors can remain impartial. The Court mandates that overturning a trial court’s jury selection is allowable only if manifest error renders the trial fundamentally unfair. The Court did not find that the case involved sufficient public passion to necessitate a more extensive jury examination by the trial court to include inquiries involving the effect of pretrial publicity. The ruling in Mu'Min leaves too much discretion to the …

I Shot The Sheriff, But Only My Analyst Knows: Shrinking The Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, Brian Domb Jan 1991

I Shot The Sheriff, But Only My Analyst Knows: Shrinking The Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, Brian Domb

Journal of Law and Health

This Note will discuss the psychotherapist-patient privileges as it relates to past crimes and will use the Menendez facts to analyze different problems associated with the privilege. First, privileges law in general will be described with an emphasis on the public policy rationales supporting the specific privileges; ample space will then be devoted exclusively to the psychotherapist -patient privilege, especially the unique problems associated with having any exceptions which allow testimony of psychotherapeutic communications. The Note will then discuss the recognized exceptions to the psychotherapist privilege to see if a case can be made for an exception relating to past …


The Bill Chill: Safe Harbors In The Medicare And Medicaid Fraud And Abuse Statutes, Pamela L. Gorski Jan 1991

The Bill Chill: Safe Harbors In The Medicare And Medicaid Fraud And Abuse Statutes, Pamela L. Gorski

Journal of Law and Health

This Note will determine whether the safe harbor regulations, intended to advise hospitals of permissible conduct, have instead created a chilling effect on the competitive market place. Have governmental regulations, in the form of safe harbors, failed to produce clear answers and guidance to hospitals? It would appear that instead of clarifying the issues, these new proposed safe harbor regulations have, in fact, prevented hospitals from offering patients and the federal government cost savings in the form of discounts and rebates.


Rights Within The Therapeutic Relationship, Patricia King Jan 1991

Rights Within The Therapeutic Relationship, Patricia King

Journal of Law and Health

My thesis is that the failure of these rights to be implemented in any meaningful way for persons with mental illness is the result of a narrow image of rights which emphasizes the individual, valuing autonomy independent of care, and sacrifices relationship and the connection to the community. By conceiving of rights in such a way, we strengthen the individual but do not address the reality of the context or relationship within which persons with mental illness will actualize these rights. This failure to recognize and account for the disequilibrium within therapeutic relationships and the necessity of caring within such …


The Health And Welfare Of The Palestinians Under Israeli Occupation, Neal Atway Jan 1991

The Health And Welfare Of The Palestinians Under Israeli Occupation, Neal Atway

Journal of Law and Health

This note will attempt to give a brief background on how the West Bank and Gaza Strip became the "occupied territories", analyze the treatment of Palestinians under Israeli occupation, and interpret the international law that relates to those territories, specifically the Fourth Geneva Convention and the United Nations Resolutions which address the protection of the health and well-being of the Palestinians under Israeli occupation.


Tdhs V. E.B., The Coup De Grace For Special Issues., John J. Sampson Jan 1991

Tdhs V. E.B., The Coup De Grace For Special Issues., John J. Sampson

St. Mary's Law Journal

Although the bench and bar have been recalcitrant in recognition, the Texas Supreme Court has declared the special interest experiment a failure. For nearly eighty years Texas has engaged in an experiment requiring juries answer specific, factually detailed inquiries in various circumstances. The theoretical justifications of special issue inquiries were to ease appeals processes and add clarity to jury decisions. Although the goals were meritorious, the actual result was jury confusion, inefficiency, complexity, and too many retrials. The Texas Supreme Court’s ruling in TDHS v. EB signals the end of special issues and mandates the use of broad form submissions. …
