Congratulations to Law-Medicine Center Faculty Affiliate Dr. Susan Hatters-Friedman on being awarded the Isaac Ray Award by the American Psychological Association (APA)! The award recognizes Hatters-Friedman’s contributions and exceptional achievements in the field of forensic psychiatry.
The authors offer a balanced approach that considers the needs, rights, and obligations of patients, physicians, law enforcement authorities, and other stakeholders. The article was reviewed favorably in JOTWELL—The Journal of Things We Like (Lots).
Out now in UC Irvine Law Review! Prof. Sharona Hoffman and Cassandra Robertson (@andrarobertson.bsky.social)’s new article, “Patient Autonomy, Public Safety, and Drivers with Cognitive Decline,” recommends a framework to navigate the intricacies of driving with cognitive decline.

Prof. Hoffman’s 2017 article, “Big Data and the Americans with Disabilities Act,” argued that Congress should amend the ADA to protect individuals from discrimination based on their predicted likelihood of developing future physical or mental impairments.
