There is a dearth of existing research on the treatment of reproductive cancers among women with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This study analyzed the 2010 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample and compared the prevalence of reproductive cancer treatment hospitalization discharges among women with and without IDD. Discharges linked to women with IDD had higher incidences of cancer of the uterus and lower prevalence of cancer of the cervix. Moreover, discharges linked to women with IDD indicated these women were younger, had longer hospital stays, and were more likely to have public insurance coverage. Therefore, further research and targeted interventions to increase cancer prevention and screening are urgently needed.

It is undisputed that treaties can create binding obligations on individuals (physical human beings). However, the proposition that treaties may impose international legal obligations on collective non-state entities, such as private business corporations, remains controversial. Nevertheless, within the legal framework of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) Part XI and Annex III, private business corporations (including the subsidiaries of some of the world’s leading mining, energy, and defence corporations) have been exploring areas of the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans with the aim of exploiting natural resources from the deep seabed.
This chapter examines two key issues (and objections) relating to the imposition of binding obligations on collective non-state entities through a treaty: (i) the legal possibility of such binding regulation directly through a treaty, without the interposition of any state or municipal law; and (ii) the applicability and legal effects of the pacta tertiis rule, i.e. the classic rule that treaties bind only their parties and do not create rights or obligations for non-parties.

This paper summarizes the topics and trends in Indian law confronted by courts in 2017. Designed as an update that will be useful to practitioners as well as scholars, the paper breaks the discussion down into more than forty topics and subtopics. For this paper, I tracked and read all 646 judicial opinions issued by state and federal courts that squarely decided questions of federal Indian law. From those cases I have distilled this update. Ideally the first in an annual collection.
The paper includes an empirical discussion of Indian law looking at which circuits and districts are presented with the most Indian law questions. It also examines what topics receive the most coverage providing a summary of more than 200 ICWA opinions as well as capturing obscure topics like the 4 cases decided on the Navajo-Hopi Rehabilitation Act. It captures important moments in Indian law like Justice Thomas dissenting from denial of cert. in a land into trust case but also highlights the return of Leonard Peltier to federal court.
I hope the user finds this comprehensive update a useful survey of Indian law in 2017.
