The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and Its Role in Providing Access to Safe Drinking Water in the United States
In 1974, President Gerald Ford signed into law the Safe Drinking Water Act, the first piece of legislation of its kind to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for overseeing the nation's drinking water supply. The law has proven instrumental in setting standards for ensuring that the US population can access drinking water that is safe. However, the law delegates much of its monitoring requirements to states, creating, at times, a confusi…

Challenging the Medical Residency Matching System through Antitrust Litigation
It is no secret that medical residencies are tremendously challenging positions.Being a resident physician often means long, grueling hours of patient care, a relatively small salary for the hours worked, and a steep learning curve of training and education under the scrutinizing eyes of seasoned physicians and fellow residents.The process for securing a residency is no leisurely stroll, either.Participation in the National Resident Match Program…
Supreme Court to Myriad Genetics
Ever since James Watson and Francis Crick presented the double-helix structure of DNA to the world in 1953, genetic research-and its contribution to medical science-has become an invaluable tool for understanding and fighting disease. The research has also sparked a race to publish, patent, and profit from discoveries to gain an advantage in a scientific marketplace in which time and money are finite resources and companies are made and others di…

The Decriminalization of Sodomy in the United States
Introduction Laws prohibiting sodomy existed in the penal codes of numerous US states for more than 100 years, criminalizing this sexual behavior between same-sex and opposite-sex partners. Two challenges to these laws ultimately made their way to the Supreme Court [1, 2], illuminating not only how the Court viewed the laws’ purpose and utility but also how American social norms had evolved since the laws were first placed on the books
Concussion-Related Litigation against the National Football League
The National Football League concussion lawsuits could potentially serve as a valuable model for other professional sports injury cases in the future
Lack of Standardized Informed Consent Practices and Medical Malpractice
The ambiguity about and lack of uniformity in informed consent practices does not lend itself to the kind of shield from malpractice liability that exists in some more concrete, standardizable aspects of medical practice
The Racially Unequal Impact of the US Organ Procurement System
Statutes to Combat Elder Abuse in Nursing Homes
Direct-to-Consumer Advertising of Drugs
We've all seen them. Every time you turn on your television, open up a magazine, or head to WebMD during a hypochondriac episode, there they are: glossy advertisements for countless prescription drugs that promise the possibility of relief from whatever ails you. Whether their messaging takes the form of a honeybee with a Castilian accent who's concerned about your nasal allergies, or a group of stylish young women-one of whom always seems to be …
Legal Constraints on Pursuit of a “Good Death”
Should it be illegal for HIV-positive persons to have unprotected sex without disclosure? An examination of attitudes among US men who have sex with men and the impact of state law
The aims of this study were to describe the overall pattern and predictors of attitudes toward criminalizing unprotected sex without disclosure by persons living with HIV among a broad sample of men who have sex with men (MSM) living in the USA, and to examine whether attitudes and sexual risk behavior differ by states with HIV-specific laws or no such laws. Participants (n=1725) were recruited in a 3.5 month period to complete a cross-sectional …
Are gay communities dying or just in transition? Results from an international consultation examining possible structural change in gay communities
This study sought to identify how urban gay communities are undergoing structural change, reasons for that change, and implications for HIV prevention planning. Key informants (N=29) at the AIDS Impact Conference from 17 cities in 14 countries completed surveys and participated in a facilitated structured dialog about if gay communities are changing, and if so, how they are changing. In all cities, the virtual gay community was identified as curr…
