Abstract
For a symposium in honor of Jay Katz, my teacher, advisor, friend, and ever-present source of help, it is an honor to be asked to write about disclosure and consent in pediatrics. From the time he began to think, write and teach about family law, Jay has advocated taking children and adolescents seriously. In our society such concern for their legal rights is unfortunately rare; the situation would be much worse were it not for Jay's writings and for his former students who have gone on to work for and with children. When he began to work in the areas of human subjects research and then informed consent, his concern for the rights of young people permeated this work as well.
