title: What medical school did you graduate from? Judicial prescribing of medical treatments.
abstract: There is much in the literature concerning conflicts between clinicians and the law over who should make decisions in a legal context, such as involuntary hospitalization or patients' competency to make treatment decisions. There is little, however, about judges' trying to impose specific treatment decisions on clinicians. This article addresses that situation and the problems such orders cause.
