The Current State Of Advance Directive Law In Ohio: More Protective Of Provider Liability Than Patients Rights, Marie Ortman

Journal of Law and Health

Ohio has adopted the Modified Uniform Rights of the Terminally Ill Act which governs the use and execution of written advance directives as expressions of a patient's desire to consent to or refuse future medical treatment. However, the Act also includes a provision that grants both civil and criminal immunity to health care providers who do not comply with a person's written advance directive. Unfortunately, because of the grant of civil and criminal immunity encompassed within the adopted written advance directive statutes, Ohio law today does not afford any greater protection of a patient's right to refuse medical treatment at …

Special Allocations And Preferential Distributions In Joint Ventures Involving Taxable And Tax Exempt Entities, Darryll K. Jones

Journal Publications

Joint ventures involving taxable and tax-exempt organizations, referred to in this article as "taxable-tax exempt joint ventures," engender conflict between the doctrinal requirements pertaining to tax exemption and the flexibility afforded joint ventures in Subchapter K.' The nonprofit partner must exercise ultimate governing control over the joint venture so that charitable goals take precedence over profit-seeking goals if the nonprofit's share of income is to remain tax exempt. On the other hand, a for-profit partner is entitled and indeed expected to pursue profit but its lack of control over the joint venture exposes the for-profit partner to greater risk of …

Unacceptable Collateral Damage: The Danger Of Probation Conditions Restricting The Right To Have Children, A Felicia Epps

Journal Publications

You have the right to have as many children as you desire. You can have seven like the Waltons, six like the Brady Bunch, or none at all like Oprah. It is all left to your discretion-unless you fail to pay child support, and as a result end up facing criminal charges. The United States Constitution protects the right to freedom in procreation decisions. Generally, this means that the government cannot interfere with such decisions unless it has a compelling reason to do so. Even then, such interference must be narrowly tailored to meet government interests.

This article explores the …

The Ultimate Best Interest Of The Child Enures From Parental Reinforcement: The Journey To Family Integrity, John C. Duncan Jr.

Journal Publications

Most Americans agree that we are in the midst of a dangerous decline in moral and religious values that threatens the very foundation of our society. The facts are clear: marriage as a social institution is threatened and child well-being is affected. Part II of this Article traces the best interest of the child doctrine. Part III examines what the legally recognized rights of parents have been in the past and shows how those rights have been threatened or altogether eradicated in the best interest of the child. Part IV evaluates the opposing positions of both parental rights advocates …

The True Legacy Of Rosa Parks: Beyond The Civil Rights Movement, Patricia A. Broussard

Journal Publications

Rosa Parks died on October 24; her funeral was today. No doubt, there will be a flurry of well-deserved posthumous tributes and honors bestowed upon her. And no doubt, some will feel shame over the manner in which her sacrifices were depicted in later years - for instance, by the group OutKast. (Parks sued the group's record company, in Rosa Parks v. Laface Records, over the unauthorized use of her name in a song title). The story of Mrs. Parks's key role in the "modern-day" civil rights movement has been told and will be retold innumerable times. She has already …
