Footnotes

Selected Recent Court Decisions, which appears in each edition of the American Journal of Law & Medicine, is designed to keep the reader abreast of recent judicial action in the broad field of medicolegal relations. The authors have selected cases from both official and unofficial reports, summarized the opinions, and indexed them under various subject matter headings. Because the decision to classify a particular case under one heading rather than another is often difficult, and because there is no cross-indexing, readers are advised to scan the summaries under all headings in order not to miss cases pertinent to their interests.

In preparing these summaries, an effort was made to choose only those cases that deal with particularly timely, unusual, or interesting medicolegal problems. Therefore this material does not purport to be comprehensive.
