Write a research paper on Buck Vs. Bell. Did this case change any laws? What was the outcome of the case? Each discussion paper should be based on an issue, case, statute, or dispute related to one of the topics in the syllabus (session 9 has two topics; the paper may focus on an issue related to either one). It should be based in part on the reading. It should show that you have followed up on the reading by reviewing some of the sources cited in the text relevant to your analysis. The paper should not be a summary of the chapter, but rather an analysis of one or two of the issues in the chapter. The best papers will include outside research. Please take full advantage of the electronic resources available to you through library.gmu.edu. Do not simply use Google or Bing or similar research tools; these are unlikely to find good academic material. Good choices for subjects for the discussion papers include the legal decisions appended to most of the chapters, a legal case described in the chapter, or another interesting issue raised in the chapter. Each paper should be at least 500 words long (not including footnotes) and no more than 1500 words (not including footnotes). You may pick any four topics except the topics covered in session 1 and session 14. The paper is due by 9:00 pm the night before the class during which the topic will be discussed so that I have time to review the papers before class. The paper should be submitted via Blackboard. I anticipate that the students who wrote on the topic of the session will be among the discussion leaders. I hope that by chance the papers will be divided more or less evenly over the semester. My intention is to give students both the flexibility of choosing topics that interest them and the ability to avoid due dates that cause major conflicts with some other paper or project. If students are putting this obligation off until the last four sessions of the semester, they and the class will not be well served by this exercise, and I will begin to assign certain sessions to students randomly. please refer to this book The Law of Healthcare Administration, 8th edition (2017), by J. Stuart Showalter. T
