Ex Parte Civil Commitment, Family Care-Givers, And Schizophrenia: A Therapeutic Jurisprudence Analysis, Éva Szeli
Seattle University Law Review
First, this Article will discuss schizophrenia and its impact on these individuals and their families. Family variables in the course of the disorder will be highlighted. Then, this Article will review the legal power afforded such families by ex parte provisions in civil commitment statutes using the involuntary examination portion of the Florida mental health code as a model. Finally, this Article will assess this system of civil commitment available to care-giving families in therapeutic jurisprudential terms, with recommendations for maximizing the therapeutic consequences and minimizing the antitherapeutic consequences of ex parte procedures.

You can tell from remarks by prior speakers that regulatory approvals and liability prevention are of critical importance to progress in biomaterials. Gene therapy trials and the tragic outcomes of some of those trials have raised the specter of government suspension of clinical studies, termination of funding, and potential liability for personal injury under malpractice or products liability doctrines. Regulatory requirements and the terms of research grants and contracts have to be very carefully addressed by organizations testing, developing, making, selling and using biomaterials, biotechnology, and medical devices. However, many regulatory requirements are incomplete, ambiguous and confusing because the agencies …

The Persistent Vegetative State: A View Across The Legal Divide, H. Richard Beresford

Praise for Fred Plum can take many forms: for pedagogical dynamism, for depth and breadth of contributions to neurology and neuroscience, for sure-handed guidance of a department that has infused neurology with today’s and tomorrow’s leaders, and for a truly uncanny ability to fan a drive to excel in those he has touched. Mindful of his admonition to be substantive in what one says and does, my praise will embody a few reflections on the enduring legal and social impact of the “point of view” he and Bryan Jennett authored for the journal Lancet in 1972.
Georgia's Professional Malpractice Affidavit Requirement, Robert D. Brussack
Georgia's Professional Malpractice Affidavit Requirement, Robert D. Brussack
Scholarly Works
Section 9-11-9.1 of the Georgia Code might be the state's most notorious procedural statute. Enacted in 1987 to protect professionals against the harm done by groundless malpractice litigation, the statute provides that a professional malpractice claim ordinarily must be accompanied by an affidavit executed by an expert. In the affidavit, the expert must substantiate the claim by attesting that some act or omission alleged in the claim was a negligent act or omission--a departure from a professional standard of conduct. During the past decade, Georgia's appellate courts have returned again and again to the problem of what section 9-11-9.1 means, …

"Countering Stereotypes." Review Of Medical Malpractice And The American Jury: Confronting The Myths About Jury Incompetence, Deep Pockets, And Outrageous Damage Awards, By N. Vidmar, Samuel R. Gross
Reviews
The story of The Medical Malpractice Trial has a place in popular American legal culture, somewhere on the shelf with Killers Who Got Off on Technicalities. The plot is simple and tragic. The protagonist is the Doctor, a good man with a flaw: He tries too hard. In the process, he makes an innocent mistake or believes he can prevent the unpreventable. In any event, he fails and the Patient dies or is permanently injured. For this unintentional error the Doctor is crucified, by the vengeful anger of the Patient or her survivors, the avarice of the plaintiffs' lawyer, the …

The dramatic rise in the incidence of malpractice claims over the past thirty years has revealed several problems with the U.S. system of medical dispute resolution. First, the sudden and unexpected increase in claims has created an insurance crisis wherein various medical specialists have had difficulty obtaining affordable insurance coverage. One such crisis occurred in Florida in the mid-1980's, when an inability of many physicians to procure medical malpractice coverage caused some to limit or curtail their practice. This resulted in access problems for the public. This phenomenon has disproportionately befallen physicians practicing obstetric medicine. Second, besides contributing to periodic …

The Application Of A Due Diligence Requirement To Market Share Theory In Des Litigation, Thomas C. Willcox
The Application Of A Due Diligence Requirement To Market Share Theory In Des Litigation, Thomas C. Willcox
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note argues that courts should impose a due diligence requirement on plaintiffs as a prerequisite to the use of market share theory. Part I examines traditional products liability theories along with alternative theories and explains the relationship of due diligence to market share theory. Part II argues that due diligence should be a prerequisite to market share liability. Part III discusses the nature of due diligence in this context. Finally, Part IV considers various objections to a due diligence requirement and argues that they are essentially without merit.

Legal Issues Relating To Electroconvulsive Therapy, H. Richard Beresford
Legal Issues Relating To Electroconvulsive Therapy, H. Richard Beresford
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
A survey of 54 psychiatric units disclosed that 49 (91%) were using electroconvulsive (ECT), principally for major depressive illnesses. During the five-year period 1964 to 1968, fractures and other complications of ECT were uncommon. Sudden death was reported in seven cases. During this period, none of the respondents or their affiliated physicians had been involved in lawsuits relating to the use of ECT. In general, suits for injuries occasioned by the use of ECT seem to be declining. Possible remaining problem areas are the performance of ECT without the prior consent of the patient; the failure to have facilities and …
Rx For Malpractice, Albert Averbach
Rx For Malpractice, Albert Averbach
Cleveland State Law Review
Every tragedy that becomes the subject of extensive coverage by the news media shortly turns into a focal point of malpractice litigation. This, of course, is inevitable and will ever be thus. Doctors for many years have been "spoon fed" stories and warnings about malpractice suits and hazards. Nothing, however, has been constructively advocated as to how this tide can be stemmed or what can be done in the face of it. Some years ago, Mark Twain wrote, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." It is our objective in this article to not only alert …

Michigan Law Review
The emphasis given by the mass media of communication to some of the dramatic problems arising from the use of nuclear energy unfortunately has diverted attention from some of the matters about which something can be done by lawyers, administrators, and legislators without the necessity of complicated international negotiations between various parties to the "Cold War." The headlines leave the uninformed, and perhaps often also the informed, public with the impression that even for radiation injuries the important problems all deal with such questions as: (1) Will only a few or many millions of people survive an all-out nuclear war? …
Modern Techniques In The Preparation And Trial Of A Medical Malpractice Suit, Fitz-Gerald Ames Sr
Modern Techniques In The Preparation And Trial Of A Medical Malpractice Suit, Fitz-Gerald Ames Sr
Vanderbilt Law Review
Though it is true that in malpractice suits more than in any other type of litigation, the plaintiff must have a strong case on the merits, it is equally important and almost a necessity in most malpractice cases that patient's counsel carefully and thoroughly condition the jurors' minds from the very outset to a psychological acceptance of this type of litigation. Far too many veniremen, before they have been selected as trial jurors in a malpractice suit, have the attitude that (1) a "malpractice" suit connotes conduct either criminal, quasi-criminal or unethical on the part of the doctor or hospital; …
Physicians And Surgeons - Malpractice - Removal Of Swabs By Surgeon - Res Ipsa Loquitur, Michigan Law Review
Physicians And Surgeons - Malpractice - Removal Of Swabs By Surgeon - Res Ipsa Loquitur, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Defendant surgeon failed to remove a swab from deceased's body after a major abdominal operation, relying in part on the accuracy of the count made by the head theatre nurse, employed by the hospital in which the operation occurred. In a suit by the mother of deceased against defendant for his alleged negligence, held, the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur applies, necessitating an explanation by defendant, but it is for the jury to decide on the evidence in the entire case whether defendant's conduct constituted a breach of his duty to use due care in performing the operation. Mahon …
The Compensation Of Medical Witnesses, Harry B. Hutchins
The Compensation Of Medical Witnesses, Harry B. Hutchins
Articles
The power to compel testimony is inherent in every court, for without it justice could constantly be thwarted. Generally all persons may be compelled to give evidence that is relevant to the matter in controversy. If, therefore, a person who has been duly summoned as a witness at a particular trial absents himself therefrom, without just cause, or attending, refuses to give evidence or to answer questions when directed so to do by the court, he is liable to punishment for contempt.1 But there are limitations upon the general rule, some based upon principles of legal policy and some upon …
