About the Scholarship
Few challenges in the legal, ethical, and healthcare spheres are as profoundly demanding as confronting the aftermath of a wrongful death or the insidious betrayal of trust in palliative care. These aren't merely tragic events; they are intricate webs of circumstances demanding meticulous scrutiny, rigorous evidentiary analysis, and a steadfast commitment to justice. This comprehensive case study challenge invites applicants to delve deep into either a wrongful death or a palliative care abuse scenario, compelling them to move beyond surface-level descriptions. The task is to unravel the complex interplay of negligence, systemic failures, and ethical dilemmas that define these critical situations, necessitating not only the identification and critical interpretation of crucial evidence but also a keen eye for evidentiary gaps, the application of robust legal and ethical frameworks, and the formulation of compelling advocacy strategies. Ultimately, this exercise transcends individual cases, urging participants to explore broader systemic issues and champion reforms that can safeguard the vulnerable and uphold the sanctity of life and dignity.
Requirements
Requirements
Applicants are required to submit a comprehensive case study analysis (approx. 1500-2500 words) focusing on either:
A Wrongful Death Case: An in-depth examination of a specific (hypothetical or anonymized real-world) case where negligence, malpractice, or intentional harm led to a wrongful death.
A Palliative Care Abuse Case: A detailed analysis of a specific (hypothetical or anonymized real-world) instance of abuse, neglect, or ethical violation within a palliative or end-of-life care setting.
Your case study analysis must go beyond mere description. It should critically utilize and interpret "evidence materials" by:
Identifying Key Evidence: Outline the types of evidence that would be crucial in such a case (e.g., medical records, expert testimonies, witness statements, policies, legal precedents, forensic reports).
Analyzing Evidentiary Gaps: Discuss challenges in obtaining or interpreting evidence, and potential ethical dilemmas in discovery.
Applying Legal and Ethical Frameworks: Analyze the case through relevant legal statutes, ethical principles (e.g., autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice), and professional standards.
Proposing Advocacy Strategies: Outline potential legal strategies, policy recommendations, or advocacy efforts that could lead to justice for victims and prevent future occurrences.
Exploring Systemic Issues: Discuss broader societal or institutional factors that contribute to such cases and suggest systemic changes.
