March 2010 Resource Alert Legal Case
"A high school student is paralyzed after crashing his car leaving a house party. How can his high school be responsible?"
On February 10, 2010, the Florida Court of Appeals, Third District handed down their opinion in the case of Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll High Sch., Inc. v. Maynoldi, No. 3D08-1648.
At what point does a high school’s alleged liability begin and end after a 17-year-old student consumes alcohol at an end of the school year party, while at a private residence, and then crashes his automobile? This opinion is a wonderful example of how Florida courts, on appeal, analyze complex facts and circumstance to determine liability in a tragic case of underage drinking.

March National Electronic Seminar
Under the Influence? The Alcohol Message in the Music
Date: Thursday, March 18, 2010
Time: 3:00-4:15 p.m. eastern
Speaker: Dr. Didra Brown-Taylor, Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science, Los Angeles, CA
Research clearly indicates that in addition to parents and peers, alcohol advertising and marketing have a significant impact on youth decisions to drink. A common and effective outreach to youth is through music. Youth listen to an average of nearly 2.5 hours of music per day. What are they hearing? According to a 2008 report in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine-one in three popular songs contains explicit references to drug or alcohol use. Studies show that media messages have a pronounced impact on our youth. Exposure to images of smoking in movies influences a child’s risk for picking up the habit. Alcohol use in music and promotions is also linked to actual alcohol use. This audio-call will explore the role of music in promoting alcohol use while introducing some of the lyrics and messages in the music. The call will leave you with a keener ear for the messages and skills on how to decipher the Message in the Music!
