State Liability for a Mishandled Response: Strategic Remedies on the Heels of COVID-19
Get PDFIn early 2020, as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) shocked many health experts and world leaders with its ease of transmission and slow but unyielding spread from Wuhan, China, the initial state response centered on how to contain an epidemic and help those who are infected. Many months later, as some states enjoy a flattened curve following austere social distancing measures, many states may turn their attention from health response to legal response for China’s initial mishandling of the COVID-19 outbreak. China is certainly not alone in implementing containment measures that were not maximally prompt or effective. Still, China occupies a special place in the outbreak as the source of the virus, and, therefore, the crucial first responder to this global pandemic
One For All? The Use of Anencephalic Newborns as Organ Donors
Get PDFIt is a late night in a Wisconsin hospital when a birthing team assembles in an operating room for the birth of a little girl. Unlike the events that surround most births, there was no baby shower, no painstaking assembly of a crib, nor a college fund set-up in preparation of the future. This newborn baby girl is an anencephalic newborn. Her entire life will be only minutes or hours long. However, her parents seek to make her impact last far longer than that with the donation of her organs and tissues. They seek to help those like a little boy down the hall in desperate need of a liver transplant but too tiny to be a recipient for most viable organs on the registry. Her parents may wish this to be her legacy, but that is not a decision they can make. There is a newborn with healthy organs, but only minutes to live, and one in desperate need of them who possess the potential for a long life if they are received. However, the current legal framework in the state of Wisconsin precludes the possibility of this donation. Precludes the possibility of that long life. This comment seeks to make the argument for a change to Wisconsin Statute 146.71 to include a provision for anencephalic newborns to be considered dead for the purposes of neonatal donation
A Theory of Factfinding: The Logic for Processing Evidence
Get PDFAcademics have never agreed on a theory of proof. The darkest corner of anyone’s theory has concerned how legal decisionmakers logically should find facts. This Article pries open that cognitive black box. It does so by employing multivalent logic, which enables it to overcome the traditional probability problems that impeded all prior attempts. The result is the first-ever exposure of the proper logic for finding a fact or a case’s facts
