What award by Patient Privacy Rights is named after an associate justice on the Supreme Court?
Brandeis Award (privacy) The Brandeis Award is named in honor of Louis Brandeis and awarded by Patient Privacy Rights, a health privacy watchdog. It recognizes "significant intellectual, cultural, legal, scholarly, and technical contributions to the field of health information privacy." (In his 1928 dissent to "Olmstead v. United States", Brandeis famously defined privacy as "the right to be left alone.")
Federal Aviation Administration v. Cooper Federal Aviation Administration v. Cooper, 566 U.S. ___ (2012) , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that "actual damages" under the Privacy Act of 1974 is not clear enough to allow damages for suits for mental and emotional distress. The reasoning behind this is that the United States Congress, when authorizing suit against the government, must be clear in waiving the government's sovereign immunity.
