Overview

"Law is neither panacea nor justice. An element of calculation, it answers the ""how"" question, whereas justice answers the ""why"" question. Law is anything but simple. It is a piecemeal doctrinal construction, each part more readily explained by the circumstances of its addition than by its relation to a coherent whole. An up to date analysis of the court-visited 36 cases, this monograph depicts the challenges, and outcomes of surgical negligence claims in the States, by covering a range of malpractice determinants: plaintiff's reasonableness, surgeon's state of mind, res ipsa loquitur, strict liability, qualifications of the witness-expert, plain-error doctrine, but-for rule and proximate causation, patent law and infringement, defamation, conspiracy, fraud, taxation of the awards, and the dicta."

Author Information

"Naira R. Matevosyan is a medical doctor (MD, PhD) who also holds a law degree (Master of Science in Jurisprudence/MSJ) from Seton Hall University School of Law. This book was written in 2014, before her actual studies in the Law School. Naira was admitted by Emory University Law School in August 2013 for a Juris Master (JM) program, but she deliberately deferred because of financial constraints. Emory Law School kindly held her place for two years; in the meantime, Naira was allowed to audit Criminal Law and Constitutional Law classes (for free) at Emory Law for two semesters and was a welcomed visitor at Emory Law. In December 2014, Naira was simultaneously admitted by Duke University Law School and Seton Hall Law School for MSJ. She graduated Seton Hall Law School and earned her Master of Science in Jurisprudence (MSJ) degree in January 2016. A member of the Federal Bar Association (FBA), Naira Matevosyan has presided as a panel judge in the 19th Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Competitions held in March-April, 2016 at the Superior Court of DC, and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
