This article explores existing legal constraints on access, primarily within the United States, including federal and state legislation and professional regulation. The article also raises questions as to the appropriate role and form of law in resolving disputes over patient access. The author acknowledges the difficulties in the drafting and use of positive, substantive law, and concludes by suggesting that legal concepts embedded in legal procedure may be useful in the resolution of access disputes.
