Climate Change, Human Health, And The Post-Cautionary Principle, Lisa Heinzerling
Climate Change, Human Health, And The Post-Cautionary Principle, Lisa Heinzerling
O'Neill Institute Papers
In this Article, I suggest two different but related ways of reframing the public discourse on climate change. First, I propose that we move further in the direction of characterizing climate change as a public health threat and not only as an environmental threat. Second, I argue that we should stop thinking of responses to climate change in terms of the precautionary principle, which counsels action even in the absence of scientific consensus about a threat. We should speak instead in terms of a ?post-cautionary? principle for a post-cautionary world, in which some very bad effects of climate change are …

The Difficult Case Of Direct-To-Consumer Drug Advertising, David C. Vladeck
The Difficult Case Of Direct-To-Consumer Drug Advertising, David C. Vladeck
O'Neill Institute Papers
This article will appear in a symposium to pay tribute to Professor Steven H. Shiffrin, one of the leading First Amendment theorists of our time. The author was asked to focus on Professor Shiffrin’s contribution to the development of the commercial speech doctrine. To reflect on the wisdom of Professor Shiffrin’s refusal to rely on general First Amendment theories, the article focuses on the difficult First Amendment problem of regulating direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising of prescription drugs. In his famous dissent in Virginia Pharmacy Board, then-Justice Rehnquist forecast that, as a consequence of the Court’s ruling, drug companies would soon advertise …
A Critical Examination Of The Fda’S Efforts To Preempt Failure-To-Warn Claims, David A. Kessler, David C. Vladeck
A Critical Examination Of The Fda’S Efforts To Preempt Failure-To-Warn Claims, David A. Kessler, David C. Vladeck
O'Neill Institute Papers
This article explores the legality and wisdom of the FDA’s effort to persuade courts to find most failure-to-warn claims preempted. The article first analyzes the FDA’s justifications for reversing its long-held views to the contrary and explains why the FDA’s position cannot be reconciled with its governing statute. The article then examines why the FDA’s position, if ultimately adopted by the courts, would undermine the incentives drug manufacturers have to change labeling to respond to newly-discovered risks. The background possibility of failure-to-warn litigation provides important incentives for drug companies to ensure that drug labels reflect accurate and up-to-date safety information. …

Payment In Credit: Copyright Law And Subcultural Creativity, Rebecca Tushnet
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Copyright lawyers talk and write a lot about the uncertainties of fair use and the deterrent effects of a clearance culture on publishers, teachers, filmmakers, and the like, but we know less about the choices people make about copyright on a daily basis, especially when they are not at work. Thus, this article examines one subcultural group that engages in a variety of practices, from pure copying and distribution of others' works to creation of new stories, art, and audiovisual works: the media-fan community. Fans justify their unauthorized derivative works as legitimate, no matter what formal copyright law says, with …
