A Rule 11 For Prosecutors, Yuri R. Linetsky Jan 2019

A Rule 11 For Prosecutors, Yuri R. Linetsky

Articles

This Article suggests a novel approach to allow victims of frivolous prosecutions to hold prosecutors accountable.

I then discuss weaknesses in the current regulations, concluding that they should be changed to mandate housing all research animals in environments that accommodate the psychosocial needs of each species.
