Cutting Through The Confusion Of The Loss-Of-Chance Doctrine Under Ohio Law: A New Cause Of Action Or A New Standard Of Causation, George J. Zilich
Cutting Through The Confusion Of The Loss-Of-Chance Doctrine Under Ohio Law: A New Cause Of Action Or A New Standard Of Causation, George J. Zilich
Cleveland State Law Review
The central argument advanced in this Note is that a loss of chance should be recognized as an independent injury. This approach best serves the policy of the new loss of chance doctrine, and it avoids the very significant doctrinal problems that arise if the alternative approach is taken, which is to treat the compensability of lost chances as merely a relaxation of traditional tort law causation requirements. The primary focus of this Note is on the loss of a less-than-even chance of recovery or survival, wherein a victim will be entitled to damages resulting from the negligent reduction of …
The Classified Information Protection Act: Killing The Messenger Or Killing The Message, Mitchell J. Michalec
The Classified Information Protection Act: Killing The Messenger Or Killing The Message, Mitchell J. Michalec
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of this Note is to discuss the adequacy of existing statutory and administrative protections for classified information, examine how the agencies responsible for protecting this information implemented controls, and how the courts interpreted these existing protections. This Note argues that the failure of the government to prevent "leaks" is not necessarily a failure of the existing scheme, but rather a failure of the government to apply current controls. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the Classified Information Protection Act is an unnecessary, overbroad, and in some cases, ineffective alternative to the existing protections, with a great potential for abuse. If …
Nursing Home Tort Reform And Ohio House Bill 412: Why Have We Abandoned Our Neglected And Abused Elderly Population, Robin P. Bravchok
Nursing Home Tort Reform And Ohio House Bill 412: Why Have We Abandoned Our Neglected And Abused Elderly Population, Robin P. Bravchok
Cleveland State Law Review
This Note will show that nursing home tort reform statutes, like Ohio's, have totally missed the mark by disregarding our elders' rights and ignoring the problem of abuse and neglect in nursing facilities. Part II of this Note will look at our nation's elderly population and the poor state of our country's nursing homes. Part III will briefly look at Florida's lawsuit reform act that was passed in May of 2001. Florida, with its large elderly population, was plagued by increasing insurance costs allegedly due to rising litigation and damage awards. Its new law, which has led to strict reductions …

Tumbling Towers As Turning Points: Will 9/11 Usher In A New Civil Rights Era For Gay Men And Lesbians In The United States?, Susan J. Becker
Tumbling Towers As Turning Points: Will 9/11 Usher In A New Civil Rights Era For Gay Men And Lesbians In The United States?, Susan J. Becker
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This article examines the events of 9/11, and the potential resultant shifts in attitude, policies, and laws in the United States, through the lens of civil rights extended to gay and lesbian citizens. It seeks, but does not purport to definitively discover, the true meaning of the phrase "life will never be the same." It asks, but does not purport to fully answer, whether historians a century or two hence will look back on 9/11 as the turning point when the United States began to fulfill its promise of liberty to all people, or whether this date will be earmarked …
Incremental Versus Fundamental Tax Reform And The Top One Percent, Deborah A. Geier
Incremental Versus Fundamental Tax Reform And The Top One Percent, Deborah A. Geier
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This article describes the historical shift from consumption taxation at the federal level to income taxation with the enactment of the 16th amendment (the intent of which was chiefly to tax the capital income of the wealthy) and the incremental shifts since then back toward consumption taxation (which frees capital from tax) through expansion of both the payroll taxes as well as the consumption tax features of our current hybrid income/consumption tax that target the middle class.
It then addresses the issue of whether we ought to expand consumption tax treatment to the very wealthy by reviewing two recently published …
Who Was William Marbury?, David F. Forte
Who Was William Marbury?, David F. Forte
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Of all the disappointed office seekers in American history, only William Marbury has been so honored as to have his portrait hung in the chambers of the United States Supreme Court alongside that of James Madison. The two titular protagonists to the Marbury v. Madison dispute had no idea that their original contretemps would ever find its way to litigation, let alone eventual mythic significance as the foundation stone of judicial review.
Looking Backward: The Twentieth Century Revolutions In Psychiatry, Law And Public Mental Health, Sheldon Gelman
Looking Backward: The Twentieth Century Revolutions In Psychiatry, Law And Public Mental Health, Sheldon Gelman
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Do histories of psychiatry make a difference--or have legal implications--in the present? Does our current situation help explain what historians say about psychiatry's past? Focusing on the past half century--the era of medications-- this paper explores the reciprocal relationship between the present and the past in psychiatry. Part II sketches the medical developments that constitute the subjects of any history of psychiatry. This Part also examines related developments in law. Part III introduces some problems of psychiatric historiography and examines some historians' attempts to deal with them. Part IV analyzes the account of psychiatry's past contained in Edward Shorter's well-regarded …
Some Realism About Indigenism, Michael Henry Davis
Some Realism About Indigenism, Michael Henry Davis
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
The debate about creating so-called intellectual property (“IP”)--legal monopolies--over indigenous information (a product mostly of Third World countries) is habitually (almost stereotypically) characterized by qualifications that such monopolies really don't fit, and further qualifications that although they don't fit they are the best alternative. But underlying both sets of qualifications is often a confusion about what the real problem is. Because of a frequent failure to analyze closely the problem (and sometimes because of misinformation mixed with an unhealthy dose of romanticism), critics far too often jump to the legal monopoly solution to problems that ironically may be in large …
