The Right Books For The "Rights" Course—A Review Of Four Civil Rights Casebooks, Stephen Shapiro Jan 1998

The Right Books For The "Rights" Course—A Review Of Four Civil Rights Casebooks, Stephen Shapiro

Seattle University Law Review

This essay originally started out as a review of Charles Abernathy's casebook, <em>Civil Rights and Constitutional Litigation</em>, which the author was using to teach his "Civil Rights Litigation" course at the University of Baltimore. Since at some point in his career the author has used three of the four major casebooks available to law faculty teaching Civil Rights (the Abernathy casebook, Eisenberg's <em>Civil Rights Legislation</em>, and Low and Jeffries's <em>Civil Rights Actions</em>), he decided to extend this review to all four books. All four are quite good, including the newest, Nahmod, Wells & Eaton's <em>Constitutional Torts</em>. They all differ, however, …

Book Review, Global Environmental Change And International Governance (Oran R. Young Et Al. Eds., 1996), Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

In sum, this collection of essays offers a thorough exploration of state-based, single-issue environmental agreements. As such agreements presently comprise the overwhelming majority of our attempts to regulate transnational environmental problems, this volume provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject. A follow-up volume might wish to analyze more fully the role of private actors and macro-linkages as potential complements to traditional agreements. Such departures from state-based analysis could lead to a more challenging rethinking of international governance theory.

Civil Justice Reform Symposium: Introduction, James F. Hogg Jan 1998

Civil Justice Reform Symposium: Introduction, James F. Hogg

Faculty Scholarship

Many people in the United States are not happy about the way in which litigation proceeds. In a country sometimes thought to be overpopulated with lawyers, either one party or both parties in a significant percentage of civil cases apparently cannot afford, or decline to retain, legal counsel. Financing for legal aid seems to be less than adequate, pro bono services are helping to some extent, but the administration of civil justice is in danger of sinking in the swamp of pro se ("do-it-yourself') litigation. The articles in this symposium discuss ideas for reform, such as introductory resources directed at …

Taking Superfund Presumptive Remedies To The Brownfields Arena, Debra Schneider Jan 1998

Taking Superfund Presumptive Remedies To The Brownfields Arena, Debra Schneider

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

One of the main problems with CERCLA and brownfields cleanups is the time which such cleanups take to complete. The process of investigating a site through the CERCLA Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) process can take several years. The RI/FS process is long, and in the meantime the contamination is often left lurking at the site, harming the environment and human health.


When Species Collide: An Analysis Of The Use Of Anencephalic Infants And Non-Human Animals As Organ Donors, Mary Ann Palese Chandler Jan 1998

When Species Collide: An Analysis Of The Use Of Anencephalic Infants And Non-Human Animals As Organ Donors, Mary Ann Palese Chandler

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

This article examines the organ transplant problem with a focus on these two potential sources. Part II exposes the problem which, simply stated, is that a serious shortage of transplantable organs makes identification of new sources of donor organs a necessity. Part III deals with the anencephalic infant as a source of organs. It discusses the nature of this fatal birth defect, the manner in which these infants have been dealt with in the past, and how they are treated today. The article goes on to discuss why these infants may be a valuable potential source of organs for pediatric …


Mandatory Hiv Testing Of Accused Rapists: Whose Rights Are We Protecting? An Ethical And Legal Analysis, Melissa S. Iotti Jan 1998

Mandatory Hiv Testing Of Accused Rapists: Whose Rights Are We Protecting? An Ethical And Legal Analysis, Melissa S. Iotti

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

At times, the law appears confusing and unfair. Criminal defendants receive the strictest of all standards of review: "guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." But why are the accused afforded greater constitutional protections than the victim? One reason may be found by examining the intent of the authors of the United States Constitution. Our founding fathers wanted Americans to escape the kind of persecution suffered under English rule. From its inception, the Constitution and the laws that followed were based on public policy and ethics. This legal precedence is used to interpret new laws. However, because of precedence, laws often do …


Keeping Pace: A New Paradigm For The Ethical Use Of Medical Technology, Kay Ely-Pierce Jan 1998

Keeping Pace: A New Paradigm For The Ethical Use Of Medical Technology, Kay Ely-Pierce

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

Advances in health care technology have forged a mighty sword in the ongoing battle against illness and death. That sword, however, is doubleedged and unfortunately has not been presented with guidance for its judicious use. Our health care system provides the technological power to prolong life, or perhaps more accurately to "sustain bodily functions" indefinitely, yet it has not compelled us, as a society, to seriously ask, "should we?" And, if we should, "when and for whom, and under what circumstances?" This is the ethical legacy of health care in the 20th century. There is but a short time to …


Complexities In Biomedical Decision Making, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1998

Complexities In Biomedical Decision Making, George P. Smith Ii

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

A central focus of medical ethics is directed toward an effort to not only decide, but to make explicit what those duties are or should be for all physicians. The particulars will, of course, fluctuate according to different social structures, differing views of medicine, health, and cure, as well as different capabilities. In a word, medical ethics is situational. One view postulates that medical ethics is essentially ordinary ethics--but applied to medicine. Another view recognizes two elements: dilemma ethics and virtue ethics. Dilemma ethics concerns itself with the moral rightness or wrongness of human actions. Virtue ethics refers to the …


Ethical Justifications For Voluntary Active Euthanasia, Bernadette Spina Jan 1998

Ethical Justifications For Voluntary Active Euthanasia, Bernadette Spina

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

The topic of euthanasia gives rise to a host of ethical questions including those regarding the quality of life, beneficence, and the responsibilities of physicians toward their patients. While there are many kinds of cases in which euthanasia may be considered, such as those involving severely handicapped newborns and patients with debilitating but not fatal conditions, this paper focuses on the situation of late-state terminally ill patients who are suffering and want active euthanasia as an option for ending their pain. This paper explains why, under such circumstances, voluntary active euthanasia may be ethically justified. Active and passive euthanasia are …


Medical Records On-Line: What Happened To Privacy? A Legal Analysis, Marcia Weiss Jan 1998

Medical Records On-Line: What Happened To Privacy? A Legal Analysis, Marcia Weiss

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

The computerization of health information and medical records, including sensitive personal information that potentially reveals intimate details of one's life, habits, or genetic predisposition, is a mixed blessing. While offering a means of streamlining and improving the health care delivery system through speed and immense storage capacity, computerized medical information also presents new challenges as it impacts our right of privacy and expectation of confidentiality, creating serious ethical and legal issues. Non-uniform, patchwork statutory guidelines among the states have led to uncertainty and confusion surrounding disclosure, accessibility, and storage of medical data. This paper examines the legal ramifications surrounding issues …


Liver Transplant Dilemma: The Alcoholic, Medicaid Patient, Vanessa Williamson Jan 1998

Liver Transplant Dilemma: The Alcoholic, Medicaid Patient, Vanessa Williamson

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

A case scenario on Ivan Bradford. Ivan is a fifty-five year old, white male in need of a liver transplant. Ivan has been an alcoholic since he was thirty-two years old, and has developed an irreversible advanced liver disease, cirrhosis. In essence, the disease is the end result in scarring of the liver due to prolonged alcohol abuse. This scarring prevents the liver from performing many of its vital functions. Without a liver transplant Ivan will die.


The Gift Of Life:Ethical And Social Consequences Of Organ Donation, Michelle Wong Jan 1998

The Gift Of Life:Ethical And Social Consequences Of Organ Donation, Michelle Wong

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

Organ transplantation is a comprehensive subject covering many different issues: medical, social, political and economic. This paper focuses on the ethical and social implications of organ donation. Also presented are the different policy and program options attempting to meet the immense demand for donors. Part I addresses an initial obstacle to organ transplantation-- consent. Part II describes the ethical conflicts related to donor sources. Part III examines possible transplant policy solutions and the potential ramifications of their implementation. Part IV concludes with suggestions for future solutions and a recommendation for an effective policy which can increase the organ donor supply, …
