Throwing Dirt On Doctor Frankenstein's Grave: Accesss To Experimental Treatments At The End Of Life, Michael J. Malinowski
Throwing Dirt On Doctor Frankenstein's Grave: Accesss To Experimental Treatments At The End Of Life, Michael J. Malinowski
Michael J. Malinowski
Abstract
All U.S. federal research funding triggers regulations to protect human subjects known as the Common Rule, a collaborative government effort that spans seventeen federal agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services has been in the process of re-evaluating the Common Rule comprehensively after decades of application and in response to the jolting advancement of biopharmaceutical science. The Common Rule designates specific groups as “vulnerable populations”—pregnant women, fetuses, children, prisoners, and those with serious mental comprehension challenges—and imposes heightened protections of them. This article addresses a question at the cornerstone of regulations to protect human subjects as biopharmaceutical research …

The Implausibility Of Secrecy, Mark Fenster
The Implausibility Of Secrecy, Mark Fenster
Mark Fenster
Government secrecy frequently fails. Despite the executive branch’s obsessive hoarding of certain kinds of documents and its constitutional authority to do so, recent high-profile events—among them the WikiLeaks episode, the Obama administration’s celebrated leak prosecutions, and the widespread disclosure by high-level officials of flattering confidential information to sympathetic reporters—undercut the image of a state that can classify and control its information. The effort to control government information requires human, bureaucratic, technological, and textual mechanisms that regularly founder or collapse in an administrative state, sometimes immediately and sometimes after an interval. Leaks, mistakes, open sources—each of these constitutes a path out …

Padilla Postconviction Claims In Florida: Squaring Chaidez, Hernandez And Castaño, Rebecca Sharpless, Andrew Stanton
Rebecca Sharpless
In Padilla v. Kentucky, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Sixth Amendment requires defense attorneys to counsel their noncitizen clients about the immigration consequences of a plea. Padilla had pled guilty in state court to a drug crime and, after his conviction became final, filed a state postconviction motion alleging that his attorney rendered ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to advise him that his plea would trigger deportation. In holding that Padilla was entitled to competent advice regarding the consequences of his plea, the Court recognized what professional norms have required for at least the last two decades. …

The Illusion Of Interchangeability: The Benefits And Dangers Of Guidance-Plus Rulemaking In The Fda's Biosimilar Approval Process, Jonathan Stroud
The Illusion Of Interchangeability: The Benefits And Dangers Of Guidance-Plus Rulemaking In The Fda's Biosimilar Approval Process, Jonathan Stroud
Jonathan R. K. Stroud
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the ambitious Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. While media attention focused largely on the sweeping changes the bill makes to the nation’s healthcare system, there was also a less-noticed rider to the bill, the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (Biosimilars Act). The Biosimilars Act grants the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) broad new authority to create an accelerated premarket approval pathway for generic competition to biologics in an attempt to drive biologic drug prices down and reduce the overall costs of health care. Traditionally, inventors of medical …

The Adoption Of Transparency Policies In Global Governance Institutions: Justifications, Effects, And Implications, Megan Donaldson, Benedict Kingsbury
The Adoption Of Transparency Policies In Global Governance Institutions: Justifications, Effects, And Implications, Megan Donaldson, Benedict Kingsbury
Megan A Donaldson
Formal transparency policies are increasingly prevalent in global governance institutions, partially attenuating the influence in these institutions of practices of secrecy inherited from interstate diplomacy. This article assesses the incidence and specific characteristics of formal transparency policies across a select group of institutions and outlines some of the justifications given for these policies - including justifications based on the publicness of these institutions - and for the more controversial exceptions to transparency, such as the exception for deliberative materials. It examines three drivers affecting the adoption, form, and content of transparency policies and other transparency measures in these institutions: spillover …

The Inefficiencies Of Legislative Centralization: Evidence From Chinese Provincial Tax Rate Setting, Wei Cui
The Inefficiencies Of Legislative Centralization: Evidence From Chinese Provincial Tax Rate Setting, Wei Cui
Wei Cui
Legislative power in China is centralized to an unusual degree, both in comparison to other countries and relative to the country’s high degree of administrative decentralization. Given its a priori inefficiencies, this arrangement should be significant from both positive and normative perspectives, but, surprisingly, has received little attention in legal and social scientific scholarship. We devise a novel method for analyzing the inefficiencies of centralization through studying provincial government behavior, examining provincial rate setting for the vehicle and vessel tax (VVT) in 2007 and 2011. Because all provinces have assigned VVT revenue and VVT administration to sub-provincial governments, provincial rate-setting …
