The Law Of Medical Malpractice In West Virginia, Michael J. Farrell
The Law Of Medical Malpractice In West Virginia, Michael J. Farrell
West Virginia Law Review
The preparation and trial of a medical malpractice case is a trial lawyer's delight. The trial arena presents a unique opportunity for the lawyer, physician, patient, and jury to explore the intricacies of a surgical procedure, the maze of a diagnostic puzzle, and the mystery of malpractice causation. The physician is subjected to intense scrutiny by professional malpractice witnesses; he is compelled to justify every note in his record and every omission in his thought process. The lawyer undertakes the herculean task of learning anatomy, physiology, and the specific medical discipline of the defendant. It is in this context that …
Legal Representation Of The Mentally Ill, James R. Elkins
Legal Representation Of The Mentally Ill, James R. Elkins
West Virginia Law Review
The "rights revolution," sparked by the United States Supreme Court under the leadership of former Chief Justice Earl Warren, has abated as the Court modifies and in some instances emasculates the constitutional rights afforded criminal defendants. While the Supreme Court assumes a more “moderate" position regarding the rights of criminal defendants and takes a closer look at due process decisions generally, the "rights revolution" has had substantial spillover effect in the case of individuals confined involuntarily in mental institutions. The courts, especially federal courts, have recognized the constitutional basis of procedural and substantive safeguards for individuals subject to commitment in …

State Medical Malpractice Screening Panels In Federal Diversity Actions, Vincent C. Alexander
State Medical Malpractice Screening Panels In Federal Diversity Actions, Vincent C. Alexander
Faculty Publications
During the early 1970's, a medical malpractice crisis was perceived in the United States. An increasing number of costly and time-consuming lawsuits alleging medical malpractice against doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers caused malpractice insurers to raise premiums substantially, which in turn threatened to curtail the availability of adequate health care at reasonable cost. State legislatures responded to the crisis with a variety of substantive and procedural measures intended to reduce the number of litigated claims and the size of jury awards. One of the principal steps taken in a majority of states was the creation of extrajudicial panels …
