Empirical Evidence And Malpractice Litigation, Philip G. Peters Jr.
Empirical Evidence And Malpractice Litigation, Philip G. Peters Jr.
Faculty Publications
Critics of medical malpractice litigation believe that expert testimony is often anecdotal and biased. To remedy this problem, several have recently suggested that attorneys should provide and courts should seek reliable empirical evidence of actual clinical norms. Their suggestion should be welcomed. If our expectations are realistic and the design pitfalls are avoided, greater use of use of empirical research will improve the fairness of malpractice adjudication. At least in theory, it could be useful in both the "easy" cases (where it reveals that a consensus standard of care exists) and also some of the harder cases (where clinical practices …

First, Do No Harm: The Use Of Covert Video Surveillance To Detect Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy- An Unethical Means Of "Preventing" Child Abuse, Michael T. Flannery
First, Do No Harm: The Use Of Covert Video Surveillance To Detect Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy- An Unethical Means Of "Preventing" Child Abuse, Michael T. Flannery
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Since it was first identified in 1977, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy has uniquely affected the way in which the medical and legal communities deal with the issue of child abuse. Inherent in the medical response to the disease are issues of suspicion, investigation, identification, confrontation, and, of course, the health of an innocent child. Given the deceptive dynamics of the disease, however, denial and disbelief naturally overshadow every action taken by medical professionals in pursuing these issues. Fortunately, as medical knowledge about the dynamics of the disease continues to develop, medical professionals become more willing and better able to identify …
The American Adversarial System In Criminal Cases: Between Ideology And Reality, Johannes F. Nijboer
The American Adversarial System In Criminal Cases: Between Ideology And Reality, Johannes F. Nijboer
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The article critically examines the adversarial system in American criminal cases, contrasting it with the inquisitorial system prevalent in many European countries. It argues that while the adversarial system remains a defining feature of U.S. criminal procedure, the inquisitorial system, as a historical concept, no longer exists in its traditional form. The analysis emphasizes the need for nuanced comparative legal scholarship to avoid oversimplification and highlights the cultural and historical contexts shaping these procedural systems.

Taking Daubert’S “Focus” Seriously: The Methodology/Conclusion Distinction, Kenneth J. Chesebro
Taking Daubert’S “Focus” Seriously: The Methodology/Conclusion Distinction, Kenneth J. Chesebro
Cardozo Law Review
Last June's United States Supreme Court decision in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., rejected the Frye "general acceptance" test for scientific evidence, and went on to make "some general observations" about proper admissibility analysis under Federal Rule of Evidence 702. Daubert was the Court's first decision squarely addressing the expert testimony provisions of the Federal Rules of Evidence, and United States Law Week called Daubert "probably the most important procedural case of the term."

The Evidentiary Use Of The Hla Blood Test In Virginia, Linda L. Lemmon, Lynn K. Murphy
The Evidentiary Use Of The Hla Blood Test In Virginia, Linda L. Lemmon, Lynn K. Murphy
University of Richmond Law Review
In 1966 Virginia enacted legislation, now section 20-61.2 of the Code of Virginia, providing for the admission into evidence of the results of blood tests in cases involving questions of paternity. In 1982, a second statute, section 20-61.1 of the Code of Virginia, was amended to permit the use of genetic blood grouping tests, including the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) test, as evidence of paternity in child support proceedings. With the enactment of these two statutes, Virginia has joined a growing number of states which recognize the accuracy and reliability of the HLA test in establishing paternity.
Admissibility Of Written Standards As Evidence Of The Standard Of Care In Medical And Hospital Negligence Actions In Virginia, Gwen M. Schockemoehl
Admissibility Of Written Standards As Evidence Of The Standard Of Care In Medical And Hospital Negligence Actions In Virginia, Gwen M. Schockemoehl
University of Richmond Law Review
The standard of care in a medical negligence action represents the duty which the defendant physician, nurse, hospital or other health care provider owes to the patient. In Virginia, it is that degree of care and skill possessed by the reasonably prudent practitioner of the same specialty in this state. This standard is an elusive one at best. While learned treatises and journal articles assist in determining the standard, in practice the plaintiff offers experts who state, based on their knowledge, training, and experience that the standard of care requires the defendant to provide a particular type of care which …

State Medical Malpractice Screening Panels In Federal Diversity Actions, Vincent C. Alexander
State Medical Malpractice Screening Panels In Federal Diversity Actions, Vincent C. Alexander
Faculty Publications
During the early 1970's, a medical malpractice crisis was perceived in the United States. An increasing number of costly and time-consuming lawsuits alleging medical malpractice against doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers caused malpractice insurers to raise premiums substantially, which in turn threatened to curtail the availability of adequate health care at reasonable cost. State legislatures responded to the crisis with a variety of substantive and procedural measures intended to reduce the number of litigated claims and the size of jury awards. One of the principal steps taken in a majority of states was the creation of extrajudicial panels …

Non-Resident Expert Testimony On Local Hospital Standards, Kent E. Baldauf
Non-Resident Expert Testimony On Local Hospital Standards, Kent E. Baldauf
Cleveland State Law Review
This issue deals with the question of whether a medical expert witness need be a resident of the particular community in order to testify as to local hospital standards in that community. Generally, in cases involving medical malpractice, the courts have held that the expert witness must have practiced in the "same" or "similar" locality as the defendant doctor in order that his testimony be held admissible to establish the standard of medical care against which the defendant is to be held.

Medical Witness' Treatment By Courts, Monroe E. Trout
Medical Witness' Treatment By Courts, Monroe E. Trout
Cleveland State Law Review
An attempt has been made to review what the courts have recently said about medical witnesses and their testimony. Many questions can be asked about particular decisions, and indeed, an entire article could be written about individual cited cases. The only purpose of this paper is to review the recent decisions in order to give you a panoramic view of the type of questions which the courts are being asked to answer about the medical witness and his testimony.

Evidence--Medical Treatises To Be Admitted As Direct Evidence In Wisconsin--Lewandowski V. Preferred Risk Mutual Ins. Co., Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Defendant's attorney in a personal injury action sought on cross-examination to impeach plaintiff's physician regarding his determination of the degree of plaintiff's disability by referring to the medical standards set forth in the American Medical Association's Guide to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment--The Extremities and Back. Pointing to the physician's testimony that he had not relied on the Guide in making his evaluation, the trial court sustained plaintiff's objection that such cross-examination was not permissible. On appeal, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that the trial court was correct in sustaining the objection in accordance with the established rule that it …

The Physician As A Witness, Robert I. Zashin
The Physician As A Witness, Robert I. Zashin
Cleveland State Law Review
As a public servant the physician, being licensed to practice medicine, has certain obligations both to the state and to his profession. His primary obligation is to give aid to his patients and offer himself as a person capable of diagnosis and treatment of human ills. It is conceded by most observers that few professions require more careful preparation than that of medicine. However, a doctor's skill is not always to be found in his office. He is now often called upon to "battle" in the courts as an expert witness. In the growing interrelationship between law and medicine, the …
The Conspiracy Of Silence: Physician's View, Carl E. Wasmuth
The Conspiracy Of Silence: Physician's View, Carl E. Wasmuth
Cleveland State Law Review
To many a physican, law suits, courts, and occasionally law- yers themselves are anathema. Schooled in the sciences, his life is dedicated to the practice of medicine. He is a man of conviction and of purpose. He is articulate and even at times loqua- cious. These qualities would lead one to believe that the physician would be well equipped, quite willing, and capable of appearing as an expert witness in a court of law. Quite to the contrary, the physician most generally is unwilling to be a legal witness. In fact, the entire subject of law suits often is repugnant …
How To Handle Medico-Legal Semantics, Hugh Miracle
How To Handle Medico-Legal Semantics, Hugh Miracle
Cleveland State Law Review
One of the main objectives of counsel in evidence presentation, both from the plaintiff and the defense side, is to instill in the minds of the jury a sufficiently clear and understandable knowledge of the medical facts of the case. In order to reach such a result, it is helpful to consider the medico-legal work in a trial from the viewpoint of semantics.
