Privacy Law in the Information Age By Edmund B. Burke Sequence: Volume 29, Number 6 Release Date: November/December 1994 Privacy law historically has been divided into four parts, each of which has its own rules, history, and rationale. If there is a theme common to these rights, it is that all involve, in one way or another, the right of the complaining party "to be let alone." The four main subdivisions are (1) intrusion, (2) disclosure, (3) false light, and (4) commercial appropriation. The threads of privacy law are much like mountain streams that flow into mighty rivers whose antecedents are unknown: for instance, privacy law served as a basis for the Supreme Court's landmark abortion law decision in Roe v. Wade. Although legal scholars still debate the validity of the court's interpretation of privacy rights in the Constitution as applied in the context of that landmark case, no one denies that privacy law has had an enormous influence on many aspects of contemporary law and society. That influence no doubt will increase in the age of information.

M URANE OSTWICK LLC Attorneys at Law Questions About . . . EMPLOYMENT LAW AND JOB DISCRIMINATION Civil Rights in Employment–Federal Law Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) . The ADEA prohibits discrimination against workers 40 years old or older. The Act makes it illegal to intentionally discriminate against workers 40 years old or older or to develop employment policies that have a disparate impact on persons 40 years old or older. For an employee to prevail on an ADEA claim, the employee must show that he or she was 40 years old or older, that some adverse employment action was taken, and that he or she was replaced by a younger worker. In defending against such a claim, the employer must come forward with evidence that the decision was not age related or age based. Under the ADEA, an employer may discriminate on the basis of age under certain circumstances, such as where there exits a bona fide occupational age qualification "reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the particular business." Sexual Discrimination and Harassment . Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on sex, including pregnancy. Under Title VII, an employer must judge both male and female employees based on their individual capacities to perform a job, rather than on some preconceived notion as to their respective capacities as a class. Employment decisions may be based on sex, however, if sex is a bona fide occupational qualification.

Los Angeles Caregiver Resource Center 3715 McClintock Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90089-0191 www.usc.edu/lacrc Email: lacrc@usc.edu Fact Sheet: Legal Issues for LGBT Caregivers Since most states do not recognize LGBT committed relationships, referred to here as same-sex relationships or domestic partnerships, LGBT couples need to complete certain legal documents prior to incapacity. Some members of the LGBT community rely on their "family of choice," a group of trusted and valued friends who provide care and support during an illness. However, without legal protections in place, these relationships might not be legally recognized, and could easily be questioned or contested by a biological family member. It is imperative that LGBT caregivers and care recipients understand relevant local, state and federal laws and act to secure legal protections. Q: What is the status of Domestic Partnerships? A few states (including California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Hawaii) have enacted laws granting limited legal rights to same-sex couples. Vermont passed a civil union law in 2000 that gives same-sex couples the same rights given to legally married spouses under Vermont law. These issues and other related issues are of major importance to LGBT caregivers. It is vitally important that LGBT persons in domestic partnerships seek out and complete legal documents, which afford them comparable, if still not equal, rights. Partners who have domestic partnership should obtain legal advice in their state of residence regarding these issues.

The age of criminal responsibility is still an unresolved question, and as a consequence no uniform application of law and treatment may be prescribed. International concern for the drug-related problems of young people has been consistent; it is for the States to give high priority to the solution of these problems and to enforce their drug-control legislation. United Nations guidelines can help in developing appropriate national legislation.

EMPLOYMENT ISSUES UNDER THE LAW I. EMPLOYMENT AT WILL Under Pennsylvania law, employees are employed at will; that is, they can terminate their employment or be terminated at any time for any reason or no reason. Restrictions on the employment at will doctrine are most often based on a union contract, an employment contract for a definite term, or an employer’s policies implemented in the workplace. Hospitals and other facilities of the Health System have implemented numerous personnel policies which set forth procedures that managers must follow when dealing with employees. These procedures are best explained by and implemented in connection with, the Human Resources Department. In addition, an employer’s right to terminate an employee or discipline an employee may be limited by various state and federal laws, some of which will be discussed in this chapter. II. NON-DISCRIMINATION LAWS Laws exist at the federal, state and local levels which prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of, among other things, race, sex, age, disability status, familial status, sexual orientation, national origin and religion. These laws include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, and Philadelphia’s Fair Practices Ordinance. The Health System is bound by the terms of all of these laws. Essentially, these non-discrimination laws require that no action be taken which may affect an employee’s terms or conditions of employment based on that person’s status as a member of a protected class. In addition, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act require that employers provide to qualified individuals with disabilities reasonable accommodations which will allow the individuals to perform the essential functions of their jobs. Further, Title VII and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act prohibit harassment of an employee based on that employee’s gender or race. Sexual harassment will be discussed in more detail below.

Safeguarding those rights requires advance thinking and planning. Sudden illness can cause profound weakness and confusion, while chronic illness can affect the ability to think clearly, making a person vulnerable and perhaps leading to the unwilling forfeiture of control. Conducting personal or business affairs, making wishes known, and making sure those wishes are respected may be impossible for a person who is physically or mentally impaired. Nevertheless, adults of any age can take steps to protect themselves against losing control over their lives, and such steps are especially important for older people. A durable power of attorney, a living will, or a revocable trust in combination with a living will can help direct the legal system so that decisions affecting health care and property management and distribution are made in accordance with a person's wishes.

77. AMA (Alcohol) Minimum Legal Drinking Age Includes a brief history of the minimum legal drinking age MLDA - and Effects of minimum drinking age laws on alcohol use, related behaviors and http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/13246.html

DoctorFinder Join/Renew MyAMA Site Map ... Healthy lifestyles Minimum legal drinking age e-mail story print story Research findings A higher minimum legal drinking age is effective in preventing alcohol-related deaths and injuries among youth. When the MLDA has been lowered, injury and death rates increase, and when the MLDA is increased, death and injury rates decline (Wagenaar, 1993). A higher MLDA results in fewer alcohol-related problems among youth, and the 21-year-old MLDA saves the lives of well over 1,000 youth each year (Jones et al, 1992; NHTSA, 1989). Conversely, when the MLDA is lowered, motor vehicle crashes and deaths among youth increase. At least 50 studies have evaluated this correlation (Wagenaar, 1993). A common argument among opponents of a higher MLDA is that because many minors still drink and purchase alcohol, the policy doesn't work. The evidence shows, however, that although many youth still consume alcohol, they drink less and experience fewer alcohol-related injuries and deaths (Wagenaar, 1993). Regarding Europeans and alcohol use among youth, research confirms that Europeans have rates of alcohol-related diseases (such as cirrhosis of the liver) similar to or higher than those in the U.S. population (Single, 1984). However, drinking and driving among youth may not be as great a problem in Europe as in the U.S. Compared to their American counterparts, European youth must be older to obtain their drivers' licenses, are less likely to have a car, and are more inclined to use public transportation (Wagenaar, 1993).
