Filial Responsibility: Breaking The Backbone Of Today's Modern Long Term Care System, Twyla Sketchley, Carter Mcmillan
Filial Responsibility: Breaking The Backbone Of Today's Modern Long Term Care System, Twyla Sketchley, Carter Mcmillan
St. Thomas Law Review
This article will briefly discuss the development of filial responsibility in the United States, the government programs that have displaced it, and its modem day application, including the ambiguity that creates problems for indigent elders' family members and care providers. This article will outline the current long term care system, including its costs and the government and private programs that primarily assist consumers with these costs. It will end by arguing that enforcement of filial responsibility unfairly targets the informal caregiving structure that is the backbone of today's modem long-term care system, which is why filial responsibility is unsustainable today. …

Attorney Responsibility And Client Incapacity, Raymond C. O'Brien
Scholarly Articles
This Article suggests what an attorney should consider when representing a client suspected by the attorney of having diminished capacity, anticipating diminished capacity, or a client anticipating a response to the legal dilemmas posed by aging. So too, this Article suggests what an attorney should consider when retained by the family members of an allegedly incapacitate person. After providing demographics regarding aging, this Article will specifically address the attorney-client relationship in the context of the Model Rules of the American Bar Association. Next, this Article will integrate the attorney's responsibility regarding the proper execution of a Last Will and Testament, …
The Vexations Of Aging From The Imagination (A Lot) And Life (A Little) Of Bill Miller, James J. White
The Vexations Of Aging From The Imagination (A Lot) And Life (A Little) Of Bill Miller, James J. White
Reviews
Bill Miller has done something quite uncommon, possibly singular: he has become a prominent law professor by writing books that have nothing to do with the law. His books do not even have the remote relation to law that books by philosophers or historians can claim. Having studied medieval history before law school and achieved law school tenure by teetering on the edge of law in his work on Icelandic sagas, Miller jumped the fence completely in his books The Mystery of Courage, The Anatomy of Disgust, and Faking It. He has never returned. Presumably, this Review earned a place …

Grandma In The White House: Legal Support For Intergenerational Caregiving, Jessica Dixon Weaver
Grandma In The White House: Legal Support For Intergenerational Caregiving, Jessica Dixon Weaver
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Marian Robinson’s status as the live-in First Grandmother is an example of a growing trend in the United States - the multigenerational family. The 2010 United States Census Data reflects that the number of households with multiple generations living under one roof has increased by 25% this decade. Mrs. Robinson also reflects another new development in American families: grandparents helping their adult children with caregiving. More than 70% of grandparents are taking care of their grandkids on a regular basis, and 13% are primary caretakers. Many grandparents treat their role as caregiver like a profession, and they sacrifice jobs, residences, …

Long-Term Care Insurance: A Life Raft For Baby Boomers, Enrique Zamora, Deborah Nodar, Krista Ogletree
St. Thomas Law Review
This article begins in Part I by giving a brief introduction to the historical development of long-term care. Part II focuses on what "long-term" care entails and describes the types of individuals who are in need of it. Part III investigates the various costs of long-term care and the sources responsible for paying those costs. Part IV provides a general overview of long-term care insurance. Part V argues that other alternatives to long-term care insurance are not viable options to pay for long-term care. Part VI discusses the implications of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. And finally, Part …
Retirement Revolution: Unmitigated Risks In The Defined Contribution Society, Anne M. Tucker
Retirement Revolution: Unmitigated Risks In The Defined Contribution Society, Anne M. Tucker
Faculty Publications By Year
A revolution in the retirement landscape over the last several decades shifted the predominant savings vehicle from traditional pensions (a defined benefit plan) to self-directed accounts like the 401(k) (a defined contribution plan) and has drastically changed how people invest in the stock market and why. The prevalence of self-directed, defined contribution plans has created our defined contribution society and a new class of investors — the citizen shareholders — who enter private securities market through self-directed retirement plans, invest for long-term savings goals and are predominantly indirect shareholders. With 90 million Americans invested in mutual funds, and nearly 75 …
Clinicians May Not Administer Life-Sustaining Treatment Without Consent: Civil, Criminal, And Disciplinary Sanctions, Thaddeus Mason Pope
Clinicians May Not Administer Life-Sustaining Treatment Without Consent: Civil, Criminal, And Disciplinary Sanctions, Thaddeus Mason Pope
Faculty Scholarship
Both medical and legal commentators contend that there is little legal risk for administering life-sustaining treatment without consent. In this Article, I argue that this perception is inaccurate. First, it is based on an outdated data set, primarily damages cases from the 1990s. More recent plaintiffs have been comparatively more successful in establishing civil liability. Second, the published assessments focus on too-limited data set. Even if the reviewed cases were not outdated, a focus limited to civil liability would still be too narrow. Legal sanctions have also included licensure discipline and other administrative sanctions. In short, the legal risks of …

Conflicts Of Interest In Medicine, Research, And Law: A Comparison, Stacey A. Tovino
Faculty Articles
Several of the remarks and articles presented in this symposium have addressed conflicts of interest arising during the provision of legal counsel to individuals who are elderly, including specific conflicts of interest implicated by estate planning, retirement planning, and long-term care planning. Topics examined thus far include conflicts of interest with respect to the application of rules of confidentiality within state rules of professional conduct to elderly clients with impaired decision-making capacity; conflicts of interest involving representative payees for Social Security benefits; conflicts of interest in distributions when parents enter into marriages that are unprotected by law; and conflicts of …

The Age Of (Guilt Or) Innocence: Using Adr To Reform New York's Juvenile Justice System In The Wake Of Miller V. Alabama, Morgan Molinoff
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
"Youth matters." The concept is deceptively simple. Of course youth matters. One must be a certain age to drive, to vote, to drink, to be elected president. However, the issue becomes much more complex in the context of criminal responsibility and punishment. Should children be held less accountable for their crimes because of their age? Do juveniles have a greater capacity for rehabilitation than adults? By explaining that youth matters in Graham v. Florida and holding that juveniles cannot be sentenced to life in prison without parole for non-homicide crimes, Justice Kennedy of the United States Supreme Court answered these …
Filial Support Laws In The Modern Era: Domestic And International Comparison Of Enforcement Practices For Laws Requiring Adult Children To Support Indigent Parents, Katherine C. Pearson
Filial Support Laws In The Modern Era: Domestic And International Comparison Of Enforcement Practices For Laws Requiring Adult Children To Support Indigent Parents, Katherine C. Pearson
Faculty Scholarship
Family responsibility and support laws have a long but mixed history. When first enacted, policy makers used such laws to declare an official policy that family members should support each other, rather than draw upon public resources. This article tracks modern developments with filial support laws that purport to obligate adult children to financially assist their parents, if indigent or needy. The author diagrams filial support laws that have survived in the 21st Century and compares core components in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and post-Soviet Union Ukraine. While the laws are often similar in wording and declared intent, …
In Denial: The Role Of Law In Preparing For Death, Barbara A. Noah
In Denial: The Role Of Law In Preparing For Death, Barbara A. Noah
Faculty Scholarship
Only approximately 20% of Americans have engaged in any form of advance care planning and, even among older Americans, the process frequently is delayed until an acute illness provides sufficient pressure to act. End of life law, though flawed, offers some opportunity to express individual values and preferences via advance directives of various kinds in order to prepare for death before it is imminent. Yet many people avoid making these preparations because the thought of death is uncomfortable to confront. This Article considers the utility of existing law in preventing and resolving end of life disputes and avoiding over-utilization of …

Two Conflicts In Context: Lessons From The Schiavo And Bland Cases And The Role Of Best Interests Analysis In The United Kingdom, Barbara A. Noah
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay considers the different approaches to end of life decision making for incapacitated patients in the United States and in the United Kingdom. In the United States, individual patient autonomy is the primary guidepost for making end of life decisions for incapacitated patients. In the United Kingdom, patient preference is openly and deliberately supplemented with a careful consideration of the patient’s best interest. To contrast the two approaches, the Essay focuses on two cases involving patients in permanent vegetative states (PVS) for whom little was known about their respective individual preferences, and it analyzes the differences in conceptualization and …
