Touring The Punitive Damages Forest: A Proposed Roadmap, Dr. Yehuda Adar Jan 2012

Touring The Punitive Damages Forest: A Proposed Roadmap, Dr. Yehuda Adar

Yehuda Adar Dr.

Punitive damages have for years been one of the most hotly debated legal topics around the common law world. In recent years, however, the interest in this subject seems to be shared increasingly by continental scholars. The scholarly literature on punitive damages is immense. It covers almost every aspect of the punitive damages phenomenon, from almost every angle (doctrinal, conceptual, philosophical, political, economic, historical, empirical, constitutional, and comparative). Surprisingly, however, there has been little academic effort to systematically organize the punitive damages field. What seems to be especially lacking is a roadmap which would be able to encapsulate the various …

Putting Theory Into Practice: Thoughts From The Trenches On Developing A Doctrinally Integrated Semester-In-Practice Program In Health Law And Policy, Michele L. Mekel Jan 2012

Putting Theory Into Practice: Thoughts From The Trenches On Developing A Doctrinally Integrated Semester-In-Practice Program In Health Law And Policy, Michele L. Mekel

Michele L Mekel

With the employment market for attorneys currently in a subpar state, legal employers have the attention of both law students and law schools, and these employers are demanding practice-ready practitioners. In response, law schools are turning increasingly to experiential learning opportunities of various types. For law schools with concentrations, certificate programs, or centers of excellence, experiential learning presents synergies upon which to capitalize in offering students specialized, hands-on training that matches their interests and makes them more attractive employment candidates upon graduation.


Neighbourly Injuries: Proximity In Tort Law And Virginia Woolf's Theory Of Suffering, Honni Van Rijswijk Jan 2012

Neighbourly Injuries: Proximity In Tort Law And Virginia Woolf's Theory Of Suffering, Honni Van Rijswijk

Honni van Rijswijk

2012 marks the 80th anniversary of Donoghue v Stevenson, a case that is frequently cited as the starting-point for a genealogy of negligence. This genealogy starts with the figure of the neighbour, from which, as Jane Stapleton eloquently describes, a ‘‘golden thread’’ of vulnerability runs into the present (Stapleton 2004, 135). This essay examines the harms made visible and invisible through the neighbour figure, and compares the law’s framework to Virginia Woolf’s subtle re-imagining and theorisation of responsibility in her novel Mrs. Dalloway (1925). I argue that Woolf critiques and supplements the law’s representations of suffering. Woolf was interested in …

Green Building Liability: Considering The Applicable Standard Of Care & Strategies For Establishing A Different Level By Agreement, Darren Prum Jan 2012

Green Building Liability: Considering The Applicable Standard Of Care & Strategies For Establishing A Different Level By Agreement, Darren Prum

Darren A. Prum

Recently, many in the construction industry appear to be adopting the standards and practices of green buildings on new and existing projects. With this shift to more sustainable approaches by the various participants and with the corresponding need for parties that specialize in these practices to fulfill an owner’s goals, the applicable standard of care for a given relationship when a problem occurs also may become an undetermined and overlooked risk for those involved in these types of projects. As such, the applicable standard of care for liability situations concerning green building construction will inevitably become an issue the courts …


Relational Malpractice, Sagit Mor, Orna Rabinovich-Einy Jan 2012

Relational Malpractice, Sagit Mor, Orna Rabinovich-Einy

Sagit Mor

Legal scholarship in recent decades has devoted considerable attention to the "malpractice crisis." Surprisingly, however, the vast majority of this literature has overlooked a fundamental aspect of the problem: the deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship. So far, mainstream legal writing on malpractice has tended to frame the situation as either an insurance crisis or a litigation crisis. Although others have acknowledged that the current malpractice regime has negatively affected the doctor patient relationship, they have narrowly framed the scope of the problem, focusing on the aftermath of a medical error. We argue that contemporary doctor-patient interactions often resemble a battle …

Equal Rights For Disabled People In Employment Law – A Critical Assessment (Hebrew), Sagit Mor

This article presents a pioneering research project, which seeks to explore whether and to what extent the Equal Rights for People with Disability Law, 1998, had an impact on courts' rulings on matters related to disability employment discrimination.

The article presents the emerging theory of disability legal studies and its unique and original contribution to legal scholarship. Disability legal studies seeks to …


Quality Of Healthcare And The Role Of Relationships: Bridging The Medico-Legal Divide, Sagit Mor, Orna Rabinovich-Einy Jan 2012

Quality Of Healthcare And The Role Of Relationships: Bridging The Medico-Legal Divide, Sagit Mor, Orna Rabinovich-Einy

Sagit Mor

This article focuses on an often overlooked barrier to efforts to enhance the quality of health care: the relationship crisis that currently exists between physicians and patients. This state of affairs has resulted from the divide between the medical and legal worlds. The medical arena has understandably tended to view the doctor-patient relationship as a purely medical issue, ignoring the law’s impact in generating and sustaining problematic relationship patterns. The legal world has yet to fully recognize this state of affairs, and the law’s role in its evolution and persistence. We offer a relational approach to healthcare law as a …
