Organ Entrepreneurs, Kieran Healy, Kimberly D. Krawiec 2017 Duke Law School

Organ Entrepreneurs, Kieran Healy, Kimberly D. Krawiec

Faculty Scholarship

The supply of human organs for transplantation might seem an unlikely place to begin thinking about entrepreneurship. After all, there is no production market for human organs and, with the surprising exception of Iran, legal rules around the world make the sale of human organs for transplantation a criminal offense. Yet entrepreneurs have been present throughout the history of organ transplantation — a history of the active exploration, innovation, and management of a potentially very controversial exchange at the seemingly clear boundaries that separate giving from selling, life from death, and right from wrong.

This article explores the role of …


Inequality Rediscovered, Jedediah Purdy, David Singh Grewal 2017 Duke Law School

Inequality Rediscovered, Jedediah Purdy, David Singh Grewal

Faculty Scholarship

Widespread recognition that economic inequality has been growing for forty years in most of the developed world, and in fact has tended to grow across most of the history of modern economies, shows that the period 1945-1973, when inequality of wealth and income shrank, was a marked anomaly in historical experience. At the time, however, the anomalous period of equality seemed to vindicate a long history of optimism about economic life: that growth would overcome meaningful scarcity and usher in an egalitarian and humanistic period that could almost qualify as post-economic.

Unlawful Assembly As Social Control, John D. Inazu 2017 Washington University in St. Louis School of Law

Unlawful Assembly As Social Control, John D. Inazu

Scholarship@WashULaw

Recent public protests from Occupy to Ferguson have highlighted anew the offense of unlawful assembly.

Too many unlawful assembly provisions neglect important elements of earlier statutory formulations. They also ignore constitutional principles meant to constrain the scope and extent of discretionary enforcement of social control by public authorities. In doing so, they fall short of the aspirations of the First Amendment — stifling dissent, muting expression, and ultimately weakening the democratic experiment. We can do better. We can start …


Loving The Sinner: Evangelical Colleges And Their Lgb Students, Elizabeth J. Hubertz 2017 Washington University in St. Louis School of Law

Loving The Sinner: Evangelical Colleges And Their Lgb Students, Elizabeth J. Hubertz

Scholarship@WashULaw

In his Obergefell dissent, Chief Justice Robert wrote: “Hard questions arise when people of faith exercise religion in ways that may be seen to conflict with the new right to same-sex marriage.” This article looks at one of those hard questions - the relationship between evangelical colleges and their LGB students.

As religious institutions, evangelical colleges have authority to freely exercise their faith. They exercise this freedom by maintaining sexual conduct codes which prohibit homosexual practice or behavior by their students. Despite the existence of these codes, evangelical colleges have, and most likely always will have, sexual minority students. While …
