Webinar: Deliberate Indifference to a Serious Medical Need – From Both Sides of the V
February 21 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Since 1976, the Supreme Court of the United States has observed the constitutional right to health care for all incarcerated persons. This right has coalesced into three fundamental tenets: (1) the right of access to care; (2) the right to care that is ordered; and (3) the right to professional medical judgment. This CLE examines how different jurisdictions define deliberate indifference to a serious medical need pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, assessing in detail both the subjective and objective components of the claim. This CLE explores the evolution of the doctrine since the precedential ruling of Estelle v. Gamble (1976) nearly 50 years ago, and endeavors to identify the current definition of constitutionally adequate care in corrections. Speakers include a plaintiff’s counsel and defense counsel, who will discuss how to pursue and defend the most commonly litigated scenarios of deliberate indifference to a serious medical need.
Presented by the Health Law Section.
