Supreme Court’s Decision in Tschumy: Told from the Front Line by the Lawyers Who Litigated the Case

The Minnesota State Bar Association is presenting:  "The Supreme Court’s Decision in Tschumy: Told from the Front Line by the Lawyers Who Litigated the Case."  



The Minnesota Supreme Court recently issued its long awaited opinion in the important case of In re: the Guardianship of Jeffers J. Tschumy.  In a divided opinion, the Court found that a professional guardian can order the removal of life-support from patients without court review, as long as there is no dispute about that decision among interested parties.  The case raised the difficult issue of what powers a guardian has over removing life support when a patient has no hope of recovery.  



Please join the Health Law Section for a discussion of the Supreme Court’s decision by the two attorneys who litigated this important matter.
