The Professional Liability Crisis And The Need For Professional Limited Liability Companies: Washington's Model Approach, Bryan Smith
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment argues that every state should allow professionals to take advantage of LLC statutes, as Washington has done. Such action will provide protection for accountants and lawyers from the wave of litigation that has surfaced in recent times and to restore an element of confidence to these professions. This Comment further asserts that allowing professionals to use LLC statutes is not only consistent with the duties peculiar to the accounting and legal professions, but also a necessary step when viewed in light of the policies of fairness, efficiency, and public protection. Initially, Part II of this Comment describes the …
Physician-Assisted Suicide, Albert R. Jonsen
Physician-Assisted Suicide, Albert R. Jonsen
Seattle University Law Review
This Article briefly summarizes the history of the euthanasia debate in the United States, describes the classical arguments for and against euthanasia, examines the terms of the current debate, and concludes that while society may want to recognize a competent patient's right to escape the suffering of a terminal illness, it should do so with humility—and with caution.
Exposing Some Myths About Physician-Assisted Suicide, Giles R. Scofield
Exposing Some Myths About Physician-Assisted Suicide, Giles R. Scofield
Seattle University Law Review
From my perspective, the fuss about physician-assisted suicide is about as important as re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Given the current state of our health care system, which remains in a state of crisis regardless—and perhaps because of—what did not happen last year, the legalization of physician-assisted suicide is morally essential only to those who are indifferent to the health care needs and concerns of most Americans. You now know that I do have something to say about this issue. Instead of engaging in the debate, however, I intend to engage the debate. By that, I mean that …
Physician Aid In Dying: A Humane Option, A Constitutionally Protected Choice, Kathryn L. Tucker, David J. Burman
Physician Aid In Dying: A Humane Option, A Constitutionally Protected Choice, Kathryn L. Tucker, David J. Burman
Seattle University Law Review
This Article presents the argument that the Fourteenth Amendment protects the individual decision to hasten death with physician-prescribed medication and that statutes prohibiting physician-assisted suicide deny equal protection, guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment, to competent, terminally-ill adults who are not on life support.
Krishna V. Lee Extricates The Inextricable: An Argument For Regulating The Solicitation In Charitable Solicitations, John Dziedzic
Krishna V. Lee Extricates The Inextricable: An Argument For Regulating The Solicitation In Charitable Solicitations, John Dziedzic
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment argues that, in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Society for Krishna Consciousness v. Lee, state and local regulations are more likely to pass federal constitutional muster if they regulate obnoxious fundraising practices defined with sufficient precision. The Riley trilogy and the continued existence of charitable solicitation scams have shown that attempting to prevent the "improper use of contributions intended for charitable purposes" by regulating how much charities pay for fundraising services has been not only unconstitutional but also ineffective. Part II is a brief review of the Riley trilogy, with an emphasis on the …
What Would Happen If Videotaped Depositions Of Sexually Abused Children Were Routinely Admitted In Civil Trials? A Journey Through The Legal Process And Beyond , John B. Mitchell
What Would Happen If Videotaped Depositions Of Sexually Abused Children Were Routinely Admitted In Civil Trials? A Journey Through The Legal Process And Beyond , John B. Mitchell
Seattle University Law Review
As all of us are aware, there has been concern throughout our legal system about the trauma that child victims of sexual abuse suffer when testifying at criminal trials. It is likely that these same concerns will follow into the civil arena as civil cases for sexual abuse of child victims become more common. In response, advocates of child victims will propose that videotapes of child depositions be admitted in trial in place of live testimony. Such evidence may have profound effects on juries and may also alter the role of advocates in our civil system. This Article is about …
Life And Death In Washington State After Cruzan V. Director, Missouri Department Of Health, Nancy Watkins Anderson
Life And Death In Washington State After Cruzan V. Director, Missouri Department Of Health, Nancy Watkins Anderson
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment argues that the Washington legislature should amend Washington law to allow the removal of life-support measures, including artificial nutrition and hydration, from an incompetent patient in a persistent vegetative state. The Comment further argues that rather than following the ambiguous Informed Consent Law, the legislature should adopt the procedure outlined in the first, unmodified Grant decision. Part II of this Comment examines the Cruzan decision by the United States Supreme Court, including the facts of the case, holding of the court, aftermath of the decision, and long-term effects of the case. Part II also includes an extensive analysis …
The Subverting Of The Goeduck: Sex And Gender, Which And That, And Other Adventures In The Language Of The Law, Robert C. Cumbow
The Subverting Of The Goeduck: Sex And Gender, Which And That, And Other Adventures In The Language Of The Law, Robert C. Cumbow
Seattle University Law Review
The "adventures in the language of the law" that follow examine some contemporary usage problems that have special implications for the law and suggest ways these problems might be avoided or resolved.
What's "Appropriate"?: Finding A Voice For Deaf Children And Their Parents In The Education For All Handicapped Children Act, Suzanne J. Shaw
What's "Appropriate"?: Finding A Voice For Deaf Children And Their Parents In The Education For All Handicapped Children Act, Suzanne J. Shaw
Seattle University Law Review
Initially, the Comment briefly reviews the EAHCA's purpose and its legislative history, and describes the workings of its administrative procedures. The Comment then examines the seminal case interpreting the EAHCA, Board of Education v. Rowley, as it applies to the parents' role in a deaf child's education. This section of the Comment also explores the meaning currently given to "free appropriate education" and "least restrictive environment" (LRE), as well as the natural, and possibly irresolvable, tension between these requirements. Against this background, Section III of this Comment then sets out the Act's unique impact on deaf children. This impact …
Mid-City Law Center: Opportunity For Academic Innovation, Andrew S. Watson
Mid-City Law Center: Opportunity For Academic Innovation, Andrew S. Watson
Seattle University Law Review
This paper will explore some aspects of legal educaton in the context of the Norton Clapp Law Center, a new mid-city law school complex. The innovations in this Center will bring certain educational hazards, many of which are at the center of recent pedagogical discussions about law schools. This paper attempts to identify these hazards and contemplate ways to forestall them. I will not explore these issues as either a lawyer, an economist, a sociological or anthropological analyst. Rather, my observations will be those of a working psychiatric clinician who is a long-time member of a law faculty, and who …

A January Report, Fredric C. Tausend
Seattle University Law Review

Remarks Of Warren E. Burger, Chief Justice Of The United States, At The Dedication Of The Norton Clapp Law Center, Warren E. Burger
Remarks Of Warren E. Burger, Chief Justice Of The United States, At The Dedication Of The Norton Clapp Law Center, Warren E. Burger
Seattle University Law Review
Thirty-five years ago the American historian, Henry Steele Commager, wrote that: "Nothing in all history succeeded like America." He was not speaking simply of the success of our unique political experiment or of our remarkable productivity, wealth, and material prosperity, but more of the flowering of the human spirit under the system of freedom that we established two centuries ago. Why was this so? The real meaning can be understood better as we see oppressed people in all parts of the world making a beaten path to our shores—the "Boat People" of Vietnam and Cambodia, and the newer "Boat People" …
Liability And Damages In Libel And Slander Law, Melinda J. Branscomb
Liability And Damages In Libel And Slander Law, Melinda J. Branscomb
Faculty Articles
This article discusses the traditional law of defamation, with particular emphasis on standards of liability and proof of compensatory damages, and points out inconsistencies in these rules and problems with their application. It analyzes two major Supreme Court decisions that concern libel of public figures and officials and libel of private-citizen plaintiffs. This article then discusses three recent Tennessee cases and their impact upon the state's defamation law. It finds that a less complex, more uniform law of defamation is needed in light of the intricacies of traditional defamation law and its recent changes at the Supreme Court and state …
