In this concise volume, Professor George P. Smith III ambitiously tackles some of the most controversial topics in modern science, health and medicine. Smith, a law professor at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., is the author of numerous books on bioethical topics. Here, he examines four subjects under the heading “the new medicine”—modern American health care, genetic technology, human experimentation, and organ transplantation—all through a utilitarian lens (p. 8). In particular, he focuses on how new technologies and resources should be allocated in order to maximize social utility, which is Smith’s concept of distributive justice.

Children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are at a greatly increased risk for developmental delays, learning disabilities, and behavioral, social, and emotional problems. High rates of secondary disabilities have been reported in this population, including mental health problems, school failure, delinquency, plus alcohol and substance abuse problems. Long-term outcomes for adolescents and adults with FASD include increased risk for unemployment, suicidal ideation and behavior, and confinement in psychiatric facilities and correctional institutions. Many children impacted by prenatal alcohol exposure are raised in out-of-home placements, and thus will likely have extensive involvement with the child welfare and dependency court systems. However, child welfare agencies and dependency courts are often not well-equipped to handle cases involving these children. This article will address the challenges that children with FASD and their families face in those systems, as well as recommendations for improvements in how those systems respond to the needs of these highly vulnerable children.

A model protocol is proposed for multidisciplinary assessment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in the forensic context. Used effectively on both sides of the courtroom in the United States in criminal and post-conviction matters in state and federal courts, the model relies on the FASD literature and best-practice standards of care in terms of clinical as well as forensic evaluation. It is suggested that FASD diagnostic criteria for older adolescents and adults in the criminal system may need different emphasis if facial features have diminished with age and confirmation of prenatal exposure is impossible.

A trial court judge knowledgeable about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders struggles with adapting the operations of his court to the needs of FASD-affected individuals in the Alaskan Arctic. His background in learning about FASD through cases and training and the methods he has brought to the Barrow Superior Court to attempt to make the justice system more understandable and fair to persons affected by FASD are described. His frustration at not being able to evaluate the degree of impairment from FASD experienced by the affected persons in the courtroom and the appropriate accommodations needed for each person are also described.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) may be common in adolescents and adults in the corrections systems. However, current prevalence estimates for FASD suggest that nearly all affected people are undiagnosed in corrections systems. In this article we provide an overview of our experience with FASD in corrections populations and present strategies for screening, assessment and intervention. We conclude with a plan to provide training to corrections staff in response to identified preferences and needs identified by Canadian and American corrections staff.
