Is The Attorney-Client Privilege A Privilege Of The Rich? Federal Hmis Database Reporting And Homeless Client Confidentiality, Jennifer Hammitt
Is The Attorney-Client Privilege A Privilege Of The Rich? Federal Hmis Database Reporting And Homeless Client Confidentiality, Jennifer Hammitt
Jennifer Hammitt
The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a new database reporting system mandated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to track the usage of HUD services by homeless people. The HMIS requires collecting identifiable personal information about the individuals who use the services and entering that information into a database that enables information sharing and referral services. This comment arose out of an investigation into the HMIS database and confidentiality issues that I did while working at Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc., as part of the Homeless Legal Assistance Project in the summer of 2009. As this …

Antidote: Strategies For Containing America's Runaway Health Care Costs, Leslie Meltzer Henry, M. Gregg Bloche
Leslie Meltzer Henry
Soaring healthcare costs have put medical spending at the top of the national agenda and in the spotlight of the 2008 elections. Both the public and private spheres are struggling with this urgent problem. Medicare and Medicaid spending are straining federal and state budgets, private employers are abandoning coverage or shifting costs to workers and their families, and firms that provide generous coverage are risking their competitiveness in the global economy. Meanwhile, nearly 50 million uninsured Americans remain hostage to uncontrolled health costs, while the combustible combination of third-party payments and technological advances continues to fuel spending. Quality and value …

Putting The Gene Back In The Bottle: Why California Needs Stronger Protection Of Genetic Privacy In The Wake Of Affordable Dna Testing, Farid Zakaria

In recent years, many “direct-to-consumer” genetic testing companies have started offering a DNA analysis service to the public. Based on the analysis of the DNA contained in saliva, these companies are able to inform the customer about his or her likelihood of having certain traits and of developing a number of diseases. Given the sensitive nature of this kind of information, this paper considers whether it is sufficiently protected under the current legal and regulatory framework. Specifically, the paper studies whether current federal, state, and common law that protects medical and private information also guarantees the privacy of genetic information. …

Michael J. Malinowski
This article addresses the impact of integration of academia, industry, and government on the public nature of research. The article concludes that, while the integration has benefited science immensely, regulatory measures should be taken to restore the public nature of research in an age of integration.

DRUG SAFETY AND COMMERCIAL SPEECH:
TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENTS AND REPRINTS ON OFF-LABEL USES
By Margaret Gilhooley©
ABSTRACT
This paper examines how the constitutional protections for commercial speech have limited the ability of Congress and FDA to regulate prescription drugs in ways that can affect safety. In Thompson v. Western States, the Supreme Court struck down a Congressional restriction on advertisements for unapproved “compound” drugs because a disclosure that FDA had not approved the compound was considered a constitutionally adequate alternative. While drug compounds are a relatively obscure category, the decision influenced Congress in deciding not to require a …

Memory And Punishment, Orlando Carter Snead
Memory And Punishment, Orlando Carter Snead
O. Carter Snead
This article is the first scholarly exploration of the implications of neurobiological memory modification for criminal law. Its point of entry is the fertile context of criminal punishment, in which memory plays a crucial role. Specifically, this article will argue that there is a deep relationship between memory and the foundational principles justifying how punishment should be distributed, including retributive justice, deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, moral education, and restorative justice. For all such theoretical justifications, the questions of who and how much to punish are inextricably intertwined with how a crime is remembered — by the offender, by the sentencing authority, …
