    In 1976, the California Supreme Court ruled in the case of Tarasoff v. Regents of the University of California that a patient’s right to confidentiality “ends where the public peril begins.” It was decided that doctor-patient confidentiality could—and should—be broken if the doctor believes a patient will cause serious harm to another person. In his article entitled “A Defense of Unqualified Medical Confidentiality,” Kenneth Kipnis argues that doctor-patient confidentiality should always be kept, contrary to the findings of the Tarasoff case. He presents the fictionalized case of the infected spouse to clarify his argument. In this case, a husband learns from his doctor that he is HIV positive.…

    The crux of this case hinges on the construction of the provision of the HCGPP that, between 2007 and the spring of 2013, provided: A Police Services Supervisor I who is called in to work hours which are not contiguous to their regular shift shall receive a minimum of 4 hours pay at the overtime rate. The HCGPP is promulgated and revised by the Personnel Officer and enacted upon a vote of the County Council pursuant to Article VII, § 706 of the Howard County Charter. Although the HCGPP is a hybrid between a local government ordinance and an administrative regulation, “[w]hen we construe an agency’s rule or regulation, ‘the principles governing our interpretation of a statute apply.’” Hranicka v. Chesapeake Surgical, Ltd., 443 Md. 289, 298 (2015) (quoting Christopher, supra, 381 Md. at 209). Accordingly, as we set out to construe the HCGPP, our analysis begins by…

    The nature of the article is to address the ethical implications of a legal case against the counseling profession by Ward -vs-Wilbanks. Ms. Ward was a graduate student enrolled at EMU in the clinical counseling program during her practicum. During such time, Ms. Ward refused to render services to a client because of her values and religious beliefs; therefore she referred the client to another student. The ACA standard prohibits such practice especially when the counselor’s values are inconsistence with the client’s goals or are discriminatory in nature as this case was. This conflict became evident when Ms. Ward was suspended from the program indefinitely.…

    The tragedy that befell Lia Lee, a Hmong child, was a result of a power struggle between the Hmong and western medicine physicians, cultural impasse, and a conflict between who knows what’s best for Lia. It was too late before cultural medical reform occurred that doctors were beginning to view the person with the symptoms rather than the symptoms a person has. The Hmong were on one end of the spectrum where they believed that problems of the soul manifested themselves in the body and so spiritual healing was the best form of treatment. On the other end, the doctors believed that health problems were strictly biological and should be treated with pharmaceuticals. The distance between these two sides is what led to multiple disagreements…

    Error 1 Perhaps the most noticeable micro-level practice error displayed in the Gabriel Myers case can be seen in the case worker’s careless effort to provide informed consent for Gabriel’s medical treatment. According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, “In instances when clients lack the capacity to provide informed consent, social workers should protect their clients’ interests by seeking permission from an appropriate third party, informing clients consistent with the clients’ level of understanding. In such instances, the third party acts in a manner consistent with clients’ wishes and interest” (Socialworkers.org, 2008). To address certain behavioral issues related to traumatic experiences, case workers…

    Since 1938, the law has gone on to cover all aspects of American life. The FLSA has been instrumental in setting lawful standards, and protecting classes that have been at risk. The law covers “employees and enterprises”, children who have mental illnesses, the disabled, government levels, and schools (FAS, 2013, pg. 2). Those not protected by the law are in positions of power. Individuals not covered under the law include policymakers and those who conduct legislation (FAS, 2013, pg. 2).…

    The fundamental difference is perhaps the fact that the two philosophers were making considerations of the law in two fundamentally different times, in history. Modern jurisprudence has had several differences about how the law was perceived to be in the past. While human beings recognise social institutions such as parliament and constitutional review bodies as sources of law, other sources of law exist that intrinsically influence the legal processes and the outcome of legal disputes. These include moral and ethical codes as well as religious beliefs that may influence a decision by a judge. For example, in the case against abortion, a staunch Christian who is a judge may have a different ruling from a Judge who does not believe in God.…
