End-of-life care is vitally important to patients, their families, medical providers, and the public. Yet no consensus has emerged on the type and duration of medical treatments that are appropriate at the end of life. How do we decide when to say enough is enough? How do we resolve conflicts among family members and among families, the patient, and doctors?

In this symposium, an internationally recognized group of medical and legal experts debated these questions in the context of selected, typical cases. They analyzed the interests at stake in these cases, provided cross-national perspectives, and evaluated a range of conflict resolution models.

About the David G. Trager Public Policy Symposium
This symposium is named for the Honorable David G. Trager, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of New York, who served with great distinction as Dean of Brooklyn Law School from 1983 to 1993. Judge Trager continues to be a dedicated member of the Brooklyn Law School family through his active role on the Board of Trustees and as a member of the adjunct faculty.

Papers presented at the previous Trager Symposia: “Behind Closed Doors: Secret Justice in America” (April 2000), and “Our New Federalism? National Authority and Local Autonomy in the War on Terror” (November 2003), were published in the Journal of Law and Policy and the Brooklyn Law Review, respectively.
