Procedural Choices In Regulatory Science, Sheila Jasanoff
Procedural Choices In Regulatory Science, Sheila Jasanoff
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
This paper compares four approaches to using science in regulatory decision making - one very similar to the Science Court proposal. Professor Jasanoff argues generally that that proposal would be less useful than procedures more sensitive to the distinctive characteristics of regulatory science.
The Science Court: Reminiscence And Retrospective, Allan Mazur
The Science Court: Reminiscence And Retrospective, Allan Mazur
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
A self-described "agnostic" on the merits of the Science Court proposal describes how he independently arrived at a similar notion and played a role in efforts to secure a major test of the proposal. Professor Mazur also analyzes university-based experiments structured around that model and concludes that the controversial "judges" are probably unnecessary to achieve his original objectives.

A close observer identifies the Science Court concept as inspiring consensus development conferences at the National Institutes of Health and describes the extent to which they have followed the model. Professor Jacoby also argues that, if the model were more closely followed, conference objectives would be better realized.

San Diego Law Review
Rapidly increasing health care costs have created a national crisis. Perceiving physician referral behavior as the principal cause, Congress and several state legislatures have prohibited certain referrals. This Comment analyzes the data that spawned such legislation and critiques prohibition of referrals as a solution to the crisis. The Comment asserts that the prohibition remedy is overly broad and largely ineffective. The author recommends a more farsighted solution, such as the creation of a prepaid physician compensation system. The author argues that such a system would minimize the incentive to make unnecessary referrals while simultaneously reducing the level of health care …
