Deadline
to Register: Tuesday, November 18,
2014
The
Minnesota Supreme Court recently issued its long awaited opinion in the
important case of In re: the Guardianship
of Jeffers J. Tschumy. In a divided
opinion, the Court found that a professional guardian can order the removal
of life-support from patients without court review, as long as there is no
dispute about that decision among interested parties. The case raised the difficult issue of
what powers a guardian has over removing life support when a patient has no hope
of recovery. Please join the Health
Law Section for a discussion of the Supreme Court’s decision by the two
attorneys who litigated this important matter.
Please
join us for breakfast beginning at 7:30 a.m., followed by the program from 8:00
- 9:00 a.m.
Breakfast
will be provided. Special meal
requests need to be received no later than Tuesday, November
18.
