"Argues that the fundamental reason for church-state conflict is our aversion to questions of religious truth. By trying to avoid the question of religious truth, law and religion has ultimately reached a state of incoherence. He asserts that the answer to this dilemma is to take the agnostic turn: to take an empathetic and imaginative approach to questions of religious truth, one that actually confronts rather than avoids these questions, but without reaching a final judgment about what that truth is"--Jacket.
Legal advice for seniors regarding age discrimination, social security, retirement benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, housing, and elder abuse.
As Americans live longer, and as the "baby boom" generation approaches retirement, the social, political, and legal needs of older citizens pose a challenge to our institutions. One response has been the rise of "elder law." In this groundbreaking reader, Lawrence A. Frolik gathers together seminal essays on the intersection of law and issues affecting older Americans. The essays take into account not only a variety of professional perspectives but also the perspectives of individual older people, caregivers, and family members. After an introduction covering the nature of elder law, social attitudes toward the elderly, aging and ethnicity, and generational justice, the book includes sections on work, income, wealth; housing, mental capacity, health-care decision making; long-term care, health-care finance, family and social issues; and abuse, neglect, victimization, and elderly criminals. It concludes with essays on legal representation and ethical issues. The essays have been edited to make them easily accessible to students and the general reader, and Professor Frolik has supplied introductions to the sections, as well as summaries of issues for which essays could not be included. Both comprehensive and engaging, Aging and the Law brings together essays by lawyers, social workers, health-care professionals, and policy-makers, as well as selected case law and congressional hearings. Author note: Lawrence A. Frolik is Professor, University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
This book addresses the rights of older persons from an international law and comparative law perspective. These chapters reflect the scholarly presentations which were presented at The 21st Annual Belle R. and Joseph H. Braun Memorial Symposium: 2014 International Elder Law & Policy Conference. The conference was held at The John Marshall Law School, Chicago, Illinois, on July 10-11, 2014, and was co-sponsored by The John Marshall Law School, Roosevelt University of Chicago, and The East China University of Political Science and Law of Shanghai, China. The conference provided a forum for international scholars, human rights advocates, and policymakers to participate in an academic setting to discuss the current law and policies that affect the rights of older persons and to explore means to advance rights of and legal protections for older persons. The theme of the conference was intended to complement and support the ongoing discussions at the United Nations Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing, through a series of presentations, panel discussions, and the drafting of the Chicago Declaration on the Rights of Older Persons.
