About Professor Carl H. Coleman

Scholarship

In 2006-07, Professor Coleman spent the academic year working as the Bioethics and Law Advisor for the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland.  In this capacity, Professor Coleman did work on a wide range of issues including pandemic preparedness, research with human subjects, genetic testing, tuberculosis treatment, and HIV vaccine research.

Research with Decisionally Incapacitated Human Subjects: An Argument for a Systemic Approach to Risk-Benefit Assessment, Ind. L. J. (forthcoming 2007)

Duties to Subjects in Clinical Research, 58 Vand. L. Rev.  387 (2005), explores the tension in clinical research between advancing knowledge and protecting the medical best interests of the individual subjects. The article develops a framework for determining how researchers should balance scientific objectives and subjects’ individual interests, modeled on legal principles governing fiduciary relationships.

Professor Coleman's textbook on research with human subjects, titled The Ethics And regulation of Research With Human Subjects (coauthored with Professors Nancy Neveloff Dubler of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Jesse Goldner of St. Louis University School of Law, and Jerry Menikoff of the University of Kansas Schools of Medicine and Law), was published by Lexis in July 2005.

Federal Power, Segregation, and Mental Disability, 39 Houston L. Rev. 1231 (2003), examines the possibilities for enforcement of the anti-segregation mandate of the Supreme Court’s Olmstead decision in light of its subsequent decisions reinvigorating state sovereign immunity. He examines the Court’s assurance in Bd. of Trustees v. Garrett that enforcement of disability rights remains available under federal “positive law,” and argues for the enforcement of rights to integration for people with mental illness through such direct and conditional spending powers provisions as Medicaid, the Section 811 housing program, and the Ticket to Work Act.

In Parity and Difference: The Value of Parity Legislation for the Seriously Mentally Ill, 29 Am. J.L. & Med. 185 (2003), Professor Jacobi reports that mental health parity legislation has not led to any appreciable increase in insurance premiums, notwithstanding fears to the contrary. This somewhat surprising fact is due to the rapid dominance of “managed behavioral health companies”—essentially managed care firms for behavioral health. He argues that the unique vulnerability of the severely mentally ill and the lack of recognized standards against which to make utilization decisions for mental health care require particularly careful oversight, he concludes, the passage of parity legislation will be a Pyrrhic victory for people with mental illness.

(forthcoming) (with T. Greaney)

Dean Boozang’s article, Mission, Margin & Trust in the Nonprofit Healthcare Enterprise, 5 Yale J. Health Pol’y, L. & Ethics 1 (2005) (with T. Greaney), provides one of the most complete descriptions of recent attorney general interventions in nonprofit board activity, either to address situations of mismanagement or out of concern of board deviation from mission. The article focuses primarily on the latter cases, analyzing attorney’s general’s increasing use of corporate and trust law doctrines to disapprove or otherwise affect change in boards’ implementation of strategic changes to their entities’ business plans. The article concludes that while corporate law currently is inadequate to address the challenge of regulating mission fidelity, trust law is wholly inapt, both theoretically and doctrinally. Consequently, the article urges corporate law respect for mission primacy, with a presumption of deference to boards’ determination of what the mission is, and how it should be implemented.

Dean Boozang also continues to write shorter pieces for peer review journals on alternative medicine and end-of-life care issues, including, Case Study: The Abuse of Alternative Medicine?, 33 Hastings Center Rpt., Sept.-Oct. 2003, at 13-14.

The Right to Community Treatment for Mentally Disordered Sex Offenders, in The Sexual Predator: Law and Public Policy Clinical Practice 4-11 (Anita Schlank ed, 2006)

The Right to Community Treatment for Mentally Disordered Sex Offenders, __ Seton Hall L. Rev. __ (forthcoming 2005), advocates a constitutional right to community treatment for sex offenders discharged from post-incarceration psychiatric commitment. He grounds this right to specific language and provisions of the “sexually violent predator” (SVP) statutes used to secure inpatient psychiatric detention of these offenders in the first instance. Because SVPs have unique, long-term treatment needs, which state officials acknowledged as a basis for confinement and affirmatively obligated themselves to treat, Professor Cornwell believes that the states must continue to provide that treatment in the community in fulfillment of their statutory guarantee and corresponding constitutional mandate.
