Case Notes
Immunity from Suit.
Medical malpractice claim against the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) was dismissed, pursuant to an interlocutory appeal, because, as a department of the University of Arkansas, the UAMS was not an entity that could be sued; the doctrine of sovereign immunity barred a claim against the University of Arkansas and its Board of Trustees because a finding for the patient against the UAMS would necessarily subject the State of Arkansas to financial liability, and sovereign immunity barred such an action unless it had been waived. Univ. of Ark. for Med. Sciences v. Adams, 354 Ark. 21, 117 S.W.3d 588 (2003).
