legal status of persons

Legal Order and Mental Disorder, her book on the legal status of persons with mental illness is a pioneering effort in the field.

Furthermore, it is extremely important to guarantee the legal status of persons who were forced to leave their homes and to respect their rights, as is the fight to eliminate organised crime and corruption.

In 1886, the United States Supreme Court found that the 14th Amendment - intended to protect the rights of freed slaves - granted corporations the legal status of persons, enshrining the distinction between corporations and their owners.
