Legal Representation Of The Mentally Ill, James R. Elkins Dec 1979

Legal Representation Of The Mentally Ill, James R. Elkins

West Virginia Law Review

The "rights revolution," sparked by the United States Supreme Court under the leadership of former Chief Justice Earl Warren, has abated as the Court modifies and in some instances emasculates the constitutional rights afforded criminal defendants.

The lawyer undertakes the herculean task of learning anatomy, physiology, and the specific medical discipline of the defendant. It is in this context that …

The Law Of Medical Malpractice In West Virginia, Hale J. Posten Dec 1934

The Law Of Medical Malpractice In West Virginia, Hale J. Posten

West Virginia Law Review
