The focus for the 2023 Case Western Reserve Law Review Symposium will be judicial conduct, ethics and reform. Following a series of high-profile ethics inquiries and calls for judicial reform, this program hopes to provide a platform for ripe debate and analysis.
Speakers will present on judicial politics and transparency, the prejudicial effects that flow from institutional dynamics, and proposals for judicial oversight and accountability. Attendees will gain insight from legal scholars, public-policy attorneys, and sitting judges on how judicial ethics plays into the interactions between citizens, advocates, and adjudicators. This event will take place in-person at Case Western Reserve School of Law

The Patient\u27s Voice: Legal Implications of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures
In recent years, the medical community has paid increasing attention to patients\u27 own assessments of their health status. Even regulatory agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, are now interested in patient self-reports. The legal implications of this shift, however, have received little attention. This Article begins to fill that gap. It introduces to the legal literature a discussion that has been ongoing in the health care field.Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are reports of patients’ symptoms, treatment outcomes, and health status that are documented directly by patients, typically through electronic questionnaires. In this era of growing efforts to control health care costs, improve care delivery, and combat physician burnout, patients’ own input can be invaluable for clinicians as well as researchers, regulators, and insurers. At the same time, however, PROMs have a number of pitfalls, and the implementation of PROM programs is challenging and complex.The Article argues that health care providers should be keenly aware of potential medical malpractice risks associated with PROMs. In addition, because PROMs collect a plethora of sensitive information about pain, sexual function, anxiety, and other matters, the HIPAA Privacy Rule should be revised to address PROMs specifically. The Article further posits that it would be premature for regulatory agencies or private insurers to require PROM submission at this time. It also details strategies, such as use of artificial intelligence, to strengthen PROMs and facilitate their integration into clinical practice and other arenas
