Legal Opinon
The CPRC commissioned a legal opinion by a respected Chicago law firm to analyze the legal basis of any potential lawsuit regarding changing the name of the AANA to the “American Association of Nurse Anesthesiologists"
“Based on the foregoing, we do not think a legal challenge to the proposed name change particularly one that is founded on a theory that the term “nurse anesthesiologist” is unlawfully misleading or deceptive – would be successful.”
