Corporations, Partnerships, And Associations Partnerships: Designate Qualification Requirements, Laws Governing, And Regulation Concerns For Foreign Limited Liability Partnerships, Scott C. Crowley
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act provides guidelines for foreign limited liability partnerships transacting business in Georgia. The Act mandates certification with the Secretary of State as a means for providing service of process on foreign limited liability partnerships. Once a certificate is issued, a foreign limited liability partnership is authorized to transact business in Georgia. In addition, the Act requires appointment of a registered agent who may accept service of process on behalf of the foreign limited liability partnership. The Act also provides a list of activities that do not constitute transacting business in Georgia; however, the list is not intended to be …
Scientific Evidence In The Courtroom: The Death Of The Frye Rule, George J. Annas
Scientific Evidence In The Courtroom: The Death Of The Frye Rule, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
In one of the most anticlimactic cases in recent years, the Supreme Court ruled on the last day of its 1992-1993 term that federal judges should admit all relevant scientific testimony and evidence that is “reliable”.

The facts of the case, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., are somewhat more interesting than its prosaic legal conclusion.

As the 20th century closes, our emphasis is on the denial of death, and the honest discussion of death remains rare both in popular literature and in conversations between physicians and patients. This is one reason why Shana Alexander shocked a national conference of bioethicists last year by saying, “I trust my lawyer …

When Should Preventive Treatment Be Paid For By Health Insurance?, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
In the national debate about who should have health insurance, surprisingly little attention has been focused on what medical services health insurance itself should cover. Historically, discussions of this topic have centered on concepts such as basic health care or medically necessary care. When the power of medical diagnosis and treatment was limited, these terms had boundaries as well. As physicians' diagnostic prowess has increased, however, especially in the area of genetics, such terms have become open-ended. To avoid predictable conflicts over benefit coverage, much more precise definitions will be required, so that patients and health care providers can understand …
