Treated With Respect: Enforcing Patient Autonomy By Defending Advance Directives, Carol J. Wessels
Treated With Respect: Enforcing Patient Autonomy By Defending Advance Directives, Carol J. Wessels
Marquette Elder's Advisor
Wessels discusses the right of competent individuals to direct their own health care and the obstacles encountered in enforcing these rights under a power of attorney for health care or an advance directive. The rights to make such decisions are explored, as well as the barriers to enforcement, both statutory and provider related. Several causes of action against non-compliant actors are discussed.
Adult Adoption And The Elder Population , Angela Chaput Foy
Adult Adoption And The Elder Population , Angela Chaput Foy
Marquette Elder's Advisor
The author explains how adult adoption differs from the adoption of minors, tells how different states establish varying requirements, and shows that the protections for adopted minors may not always be available to adopted adults. The reasons for and the ramifications of adult adoption (such as inheritance rights) and the resulting effects on the extended families of both parties are examined in detail.

Reform That Understands Our Seniors: How Interdisciplinary Services Can Help Solve The Capacity Riddle In Elder Law, Thomas Richard Stasi
Reform That Understands Our Seniors: How Interdisciplinary Services Can Help Solve The Capacity Riddle In Elder Law, Thomas Richard Stasi
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note suggests an interdisciplinary approach to assist in determinations of legal capacity. It also urges an amendment to the Model Rules and current law firm business models, so attorneys can better approach capacity challenges. While this Note does not presume to resolve the problems faced by capacity determinations, the purpose is to offer functional alternatives to the current working models. Part I reviews the Model Rules' treatment of capacity issues, detailing attorneys' conflicting ethical duties and the ambiguous methodology for capacity evaluations. Part II examines the customary processes that attorneys presently follow for seeking diagnostic evaluations and highlights their …
Beyond The (Current) Fourth Amendment: Protecting Third-Party Information, Third Parties, And The Rest Of Us Too, Stephen E. Henderson
Beyond The (Current) Fourth Amendment: Protecting Third-Party Information, Third Parties, And The Rest Of Us Too, Stephen E. Henderson
Pepperdine Law Review
For at least thirty years the Supreme Court has adhered to its third-party doctrine in interpreting the Fourth Amendment, meaning that so far as a disclosing party is concerned, information in the hands of a third party receives no Fourth Amendment protection. The doctrine was controversial when adopted, has been the target of sustained criticism, and is the predominant reason that the Katz revolution has not been the revolution many hoped it would be. Some forty years after Katz the Court's search jurisprudence largely remains tied to property conceptions. As I have demonstrated elsewhere, however, the doctrine is not the …
Innocent Threats, Concealed Consent, And The Necessary Presence Of Strict Liability In Traditional Fault-Based Tort Law , Marin Roger Scordato
Innocent Threats, Concealed Consent, And The Necessary Presence Of Strict Liability In Traditional Fault-Based Tort Law , Marin Roger Scordato
Pepperdine Law Review
This article identifies and carefully analyzes the use in tort law of what is termed unilateral and bilateral legal analysis. Unilateral, or one-party, analysis involves the design of legal doctrine that is focused on the characteristics or status of a single legal person. It is traditionally associated with criminal law, where the doctrinal attention is tightly focused on the criminal defendant. Inquiry may be made regarding the nature and degree of harm suffered by the victim, or whether the victim agreed to the harm producing act, but these considerations are generally relevant only to the degree that they shed light …
Exploring The First Amendment Rights Of Teens In Relationship To Sexting And Censorship, Julia Halloran Mclaughlin
Exploring The First Amendment Rights Of Teens In Relationship To Sexting And Censorship, Julia Halloran Mclaughlin
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article explores child pornography law in relation to teen sexting conduct. Recently, some teens who engaged in teen sexting have been convicted under child pornography laws and have been required to register as sexual predators. The criminalization of teens for developmentally typical behavior, mimicking the conduct of adults, can result in grave harm to most teens. Furthermore, the application of child pornography laws to teen sexting conduct demonstrates the constitutional overbreadth of the current definition of child pornography. Photographs have an emblematic role in society-capturing and celebrating youth. Moreover, the creation of teen sexting images accompanies a teen's developmental …
One More Good Reason For In-Car Videotaping Of Traffic Stops: An Accurate Assessment Of "Consent", Robert L. White
One More Good Reason For In-Car Videotaping Of Traffic Stops: An Accurate Assessment Of "Consent", Robert L. White
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform Caveat
There are a number of reasons why legislative reform mandating the use of in-car cameras in police cruisers would benefit the criminal justice system in Illinois. In-car cameras provide evidence for cases involving traffic violations or intoxicated motorists. They produce instantly available training materials. They also assist victims of police misconduct, as well as officers defending themselves against misconduct claims. This Comment looks to add to this list of benefits the role in-car cameras can play in assessing the validity of consents to search that officers obtain during traffic stops.
Abortion And Informed Consent: How Biased Counseling Laws Mandate Violations Of Medical Ethics, Ian Vandewalker
Abortion And Informed Consent: How Biased Counseling Laws Mandate Violations Of Medical Ethics, Ian Vandewalker
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
If we slightly change the facts of the story about the discouraging doctor, it becomes a story that happens every day. Abortion patients face attempts to discourage them from terminating their pregnancies like those the imaginary doctor used, as well as others-and state laws mandate these attempts. While the law of every state requires health care professionals to secure the informed consent of the patient before any medical intervention, over half of the states place additional requirements on legally effective informed consent for abortion. These laws sometimes include features that have ethical problems, such as giving patients deceptive information. Unique …

Concerning Preemption: Upholding Consent Under The Federal Arbitration Act Note, Shane Blank
Concerning Preemption: Upholding Consent Under The Federal Arbitration Act Note, Shane Blank
Journal of Dispute Resolution
AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion represents the latest failed effort by a state to assert some level of control over consensual arbitration agreements. It also represents an affirmation by the U.S. Supreme Court of a long-standing notion that arbitration agreements, standing on equal footing with other contracts, must be enforced according to their terms-holding consent to be the paramount consideration in judicial analysis. This note will examine the lengthy history of the FAA's preemptive power under the Supremacy Clause, explore the U.S. Supreme Court's time-honored rationale for choosing when to exercise its preemptive powers to invalidate state law, and evaluate …
