AALS Joint Session for Aging, Health & Medicine Sections on January 3

Just a reminder to those of you who are attending the AALS Annual Meeting in D.C. this weekend.  The Section on Aging and the Law and the Section on Law, Medicine and Health Care are hosting a joint program on Saturday,  January 3, from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m.   The topic is “Unbefriended Elderly: Making Medical Treatment Decisions for Patients Without Surrogates.” 

Papers from the program are scheduled to be published in Stetson’s Journal of International Aging Law & Policy. 

As backtround for this program, you might want to re-read the short article by Naomi Karp and Erica Wood from a few years ago and published in the ABA Human Rights journal, “Incapacitated and Alone: Healthcare Decision Making for Unbefriended Older People.”

See you there!
