Made In The U.S.A.: Legal And Ethical Issues In Artificial Heart Experimentation, George J. Annas
Made In The U.S.A.: Legal And Ethical Issues In Artificial Heart Experimentation, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
The death of William Schroeder in Louisville, Kentucky, on August 6, 1986, brought to a close a remarkable chapter in public human experimentation. Artificial heart implants represent the most public experiments in the history of the world. The manner in which they are conducted is a matter of utmost public and professional concern, since it graphically portrays the seriousness with which we take our laws and ethical rules regarding the protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects. Unfortunately, the brief history of artificial heart implants is neither a happy nor a proud one. Begun with high hopes and …
Ethics Of Embryo Research: Not As Easy At It Sounds, George J. Annas
Ethics Of Embryo Research: Not As Easy At It Sounds, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
Mark Twain once said of Wagner's music, "It's not as bad as it sounds." Likewise, it may be said of Peter Singer and Helga Kuhse's stroll through the issues involving embryo research: "It's not as easy as it sounds."
Today it seems clear that Aldous Huxley's version of a Brave New World is much closer to the mark than George Orwell's 1984. We will not have to be dragged into a technologically dominated future by a totalitarian government; we will go willingly, cheering almost any change as "better" and accepting science as always "improving" on nature. This childlike faith …

The Ethics Of Dissent And Friendship In The American Professions, Thomas L. Shaffer
The Ethics Of Dissent And Friendship In The American Professions, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
Professional ethics is commonly understood as a creature of the establishment—the study of what the better doctors and lawyers do and impose on their colleagues. But this traditional notion of ethics conveys a message that professionals need only care for their clients or patients to a certain point whether it is the end of the professional’s expertise, the end of the contract or the end of an assigned task. But this ethical understanding loses the sense of professionals serving a community. This Article dissents from that common understanding of ethics and tells dissenting-professional stories that show professional ethics through the …
The "Natural Law Tradition", John M. Finnis
The "Natural Law Tradition", John M. Finnis
Journal Articles
This "tradition of natural law theory" has three main features: First, critique and rejection of ethical scepticism, dogmatism and conventionalism; Second, clarification of the methodology of descriptive and explanatory social theories (e.g., political science, economics, jurisprudence .... ); Third, critique and rejection of aggregative conceptions of the right and the just (e.g., consequentialism, utilitarianism, wealth-maximization, "proportionalism"...).

Why Prosecutors Misbehave, Bennett L. Gershman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The author, perhaps the nation's top authority on prosecutorial misconduct, raises and analyzes two questions: Why does this misconduct occur? (It often pays off.) And why does it continue? (There are no effective sanctions.)
Ethics And The Settlement Of Civil Rights Cases: Can Attorneys Keep Their Virtue And Their Fees?, Lloyd B. Snyder
Ethics And The Settlement Of Civil Rights Cases: Can Attorneys Keep Their Virtue And Their Fees?, Lloyd B. Snyder
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
The Civil Rights Attorneys' Fees Award Act of 1976 authorizes an award of fees to the prevailing party in a civil rights action. The United State Supreme Court, in Evans v. Jeff D., has interpreted the Fees Act to authorize the parties in a civil rights action to negotiate settlement of fees and merits jointly. The Court did not determine whether joint fees-merits negotiation is ethical. The author of this article contends that joint negotiation is ethical. He further contends that it is ethical for plaintiff's attorney to reject an offer of settlement if the offer is coupled with a …
Law's Halo, Donald H. Regan
Law's Halo, Donald H. Regan
Articles
Like many people these days, I believe there is no general moral obligation to obey the law. I shall explain why there is no such moral obligation - and I shall clarify what I mean when I say there is no moral obligation to obey the law - as we proceed. But also like many people, I am unhappy with a position that would say there was no moral obligation to obey the law and then say no more about the law's moral significance. In our thinking about law in a reasonably just society, we have a strong inclination to …
Leveraged Buyout, Management Buyout, And Going Private Corporate Control Transactions: Insider Trading Or Efficient Market Economics?, Patrick S. Dunleavy
Leveraged Buyout, Management Buyout, And Going Private Corporate Control Transactions: Insider Trading Or Efficient Market Economics?, Patrick S. Dunleavy
Fordham Urban Law Journal
According to one commentator, a particularly troublesome form of insider trading abuse has developed in the past decade without full public discussion of its ethics or its legality. This abuse has spurred significant commentary. Corporate control transactions of this type, known as "insider leveraged buyouts," management buyouts, and going private, have totaled billions of dollars. On their face, these deals, regardless of their specifics, raise the most basic questions of whether security holders are getting the legal and ethical protection they require and, by law, deserve. It is a fundamental precept of the theory of going private that different groups …
The Quiet Revolution In The American Law Proffesion: Remarks Before The Commission On Professionalism Of The American Bar Association, Peter Megargee Brown
The Quiet Revolution In The American Law Proffesion: Remarks Before The Commission On Professionalism Of The American Bar Association, Peter Megargee Brown
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Speech discusses the decline of the law profession in its commitment to public service. It analyzes the reasons as to why the practice of law has evolved from a profession once thought to epitomize professionalism into one that does not seem much different from other businesses. It discusses the consequences of such a reality. The author suggests measures that the American Bar Association should employ to ameliorate the effects of this reality and outlines steps it should take to help restore the high level of professionalism to the industry.
Why Kentucky Should Adopt The Aba's Model Rules Of Professional Conduct, Eugene R. Gaetke
Why Kentucky Should Adopt The Aba's Model Rules Of Professional Conduct, Eugene R. Gaetke
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In 1983, after six years of drafting and lively debate, the American Bar Association adopted the Model Rules of Professional Conduct as its most recent statement of the ethical norms of the legal profession. Shortly thereafter the ABA forwarded the rules to the states for consideration and possible adoption as binding ethical principles. As of this writing, a number of states have adopted the Model Rules, in full or in substantial form, and several more have proposals for such adoption pending before their supreme courts
The Kentucky Supreme Court presently awaits the state bar association's recommendation regarding the Model Rules' …
