Why Don't Doctors & Lawyers (Strangers In The Night) Get Their Act Together?, Frances H. Miller May 2004

Why Don't Doctors & Lawyers (Strangers In The Night) Get Their Act Together?, Frances H. Miller

Michigan Law Review

Health care in America is an expensive, complicated, inefficient, tangled mess - everybody says so. Patients decry its complexity, health care executives bemoan its lack of coherence, physicians plead for universal coverage to simplify their lives so they can just get on with taking care of patients, and everyone complains about health care costs. The best health care in the world is theoretically available here, but we deliver and pay for it in some of the world's worst ways. Occam's razor ("Among competing hypotheses, favor the simplest one") is of little help here. There are no simple hypotheses - everything …


The Responsible Thing To Do About "Responsible Party" Provisions In Nursing Home Agreements: A Proposal For Change On Three Fronts, Katherine C. Pearson Apr 2004

The Responsible Thing To Do About "Responsible Party" Provisions In Nursing Home Agreements: A Proposal For Change On Three Fronts, Katherine C. Pearson

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Nursing homes routinely seek the signature of a family member on nursing home agreements, calling the signer a "responsible party" or sponsor for the resident. Federal Medicare and Medicaid law provides that participating facilities must "not require a third party guarantee of payment to the facility as a condition of admission ...to, or continued stay, in the facility. "Nonetheless, if federal benefits prove to be unavailable, courts are holding responsible parties contractually liable for thousands of dollars for the care of their elders. This Article proposes private and public responses to the increasing likelihood that nursing homes will seek collection …

Lessons For The Hague: Internet Jurisdiction In Contract And Tort Cases In The European Community And The United States, 23 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2004), Moritz Keller

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

With the increasing use of the Internet, all on-line users, web site owners, e-commerce companies and consumers alike, feel the need to be able to rely on clear standards for a potential contract or tort lawsuit following the Internet presence that could lead to multinational litigation. This goal could be achieved if the negotiations of the Hague Convention on international jurisdiction and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil and commercial matters succeed in harmonizing the rules of the different legal systems around the globe, or at least create a minimum standard for legal cases which would benefit greatly e-commerce and …

Case Note: Contracts—Into The Void: Minnesota Limits Application Of The Prima Paint Doctrine—Onvoy, Inc. V. Shal, Llc, Mikel D. Johnson

William Mitchell Law Review

This note first gives a brief overview of arbitration use in the United States. It then discusses the Onvoy decision and provides an analysis of the Minnesota Supreme Court’s ruling. Finally, the note concludes that the court’s holding properly weighs Minnesota’s strong presumption in favor of arbitration against the need to allow access to the courts.

Contractual Stipulation For Judicial Review And Discovery In United States-Japan Arbitration Contracts, Norman T. Braslow Jan 2004

Contractual Stipulation For Judicial Review And Discovery In United States-Japan Arbitration Contracts, Norman T. Braslow

Seattle University Law Review

This Article discusses in detail how the arbitration process in both the United States and Japan can very often result in injustice to both parties. Part II describes how limitations on discovery can cause vital information necessary to either prosecute or defend a claim to never appear before the arbitrator. The article then discusses the possibility of including provisions that might ameliorate this problem. Next, this Part examines specific examples of situations where the arbitrators can ignore the civil rules of evidence and admit evidence that would be inadmissible in a court of law. Finally, this Part concludes with a …

Part V illustrates the appropriateness of this defense and …
