Legal Barriers

These are the speaker's notes for an oral presentation given at the Women's Law Forum March 7, 1991 at the University of Alberta. Three speakers were asked to address the role of women as lawmakers. Martin spoke on the concept that women have not had the opportunity to contribute to legal principles or to the organization of the profession they are now entering. While it is recognized that women have made great strides in changing the legal barriers that have historically excluded women from the law. if is argued that indirect and more insidious forms of discrimination have simply taken their place. The challenge for women as lawmakers lies in confronting these subtle yet powerful forms of bias.

Ethical Challenges: Less About Moral Wrongdoing and More About Communication Breakdown

Personal Case

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
