DESCRIPTION:The ���ϲ����� Research Group on Health and Law (RGHL) invites you 
 to its second annual Seminar on Health and Law with RGHL member Ma’n H. Za
 wati. A light lunch will be served at 12h15. Kindly RSVP to rghl.law [at] 
 mcgill.ca\nAbstract\nIn research\, Canadian courts have maintained that pa
 rticipants are entitled to a 'full and frank disclosure' and that research
 ers' duties in that regard are as great\, if not greater\, than the duties
  owed by physicians in the clinical setting. That being said\, the increas
 ingly longitudinal and international nature of research challenges the fea
 sibility of maintaining such an expansive duty to inform. Take population 
 biobanks as an example. These longitudinal studies are limited in terms of
  what information they can provide to research participants during the ini
 tial consent process. On the one hand\, they are increasingly encouraged t
 o provide access to their collections\, but on the other hand\, they are u
 nable to provide participants with “full disclosure” on the future use of 
 their data at the time of recruitment. By re-examining conceptions at the 
 heart of the legal duty to inform\, this presentation will discuss ways in
  which population biobanks can continue to streamline access to data while
  protecting research participants.\nThe speaker\nMa’n H. Zawati (LL.B.\, L
 L.M.) is a lawyer and the Academic Coordinator of the Centre of Genomics a
 nd Policy at ���ϲ����� University. He is currently completing his Doctoral de
 gree in law (D.C.L.) at ���ϲ����� University and is the Graduate Member of th
 e ���ϲ����� Research Group on Health and Law. Me Zawati is also an Associate 
 Member of the University’s Biomedical Ethics Unit since 2013. His research
  focuses on the legal and ethical aspects of biobanking as well as the leg
 al duties and liability of health care professionals in both the clinical 
 and research settings. He has published numerous articles on issues such a
 s access to genomic databases\, the return of research results/incidental 
 findings\, the legal liability of physicians and the closure of biobanks. 
 Me Zawati has also presented on these topics in Canada and internationally
 . Recently\, the Young Bar Association of Montreal has named him as one of
  its “Lawyer of the Year” awardees for 2014.\nA request for continuing leg
 al education accreditation (1.5 h) has been made to the Barreau du Québec.
