Limits on Biomedical Research: Whether, Why, and How
No full textBiomedical research aims to advance our understanding of health and illness and identify ways to prevent, diagnose, treat, and ameliorate diseases. Yet, arguably, not all biomedical research that promises progress in understanding health and illness is justified. Join Christine Grady to explore issues of whether we should limit progress through biomedical research, the reasons that some progress through biomedical research should be limited, and how limitations would/should be applied. Research examples such as dual use research of concern, neuromodulation, and research with organoids will be considered. Speaker Bio

Big Bad \u3ci\u3eRoe\u3c/i\u3e
Get PDFNow that Roe v. Wade is gone, what should replace it? This moment presents a rare opportunity to re-imagine the right to reproductive autonomy, given that the longstanding constitutional framework governing that right has been tossed out the window. For the most part, constitutional litigation over the right to abortion has shifted to state courts and is brought under state constitutions. Thus, as state courts begin to recognize the existence of a constitutional right to reproductive autonomy under state constitutions, they must decide what the right looks like. In several cases currently being litigated in state courts, advocates have argued for a fundamental right to terminate a pregnancy, urging courts to adopt a strict scrutiny standard. A fundamental right to abortion, protected by strict scrutiny, of course looks very much like the rule adopted by Roe.
In light of this potential resurgence of a Roe-like standard in the state courts, it makes sense to ask whether Roe’s doctrinal framework is worth resurrecting. To be sure, Roe came under heavy criticism by the Supreme Court in Dobbs. But not only conservatives have bashed Roe over the years: one of Roe’s most prominent critics is a liberal intellectual, the legal scholar John Hart Ely, who famously attacked Roe’s reasoning in a much-cited essay entitled The Wages of Crying Wolf: A Comment on Roe v. Wade. Justice Alito’s majority opinion in Dobbs gleefully cited Ely’s criticisms, as if to suggest that Roe simply must be wrong, since even such a prominent liberal has found it lacking.
This essay gives a brief overview of the Dobbs Court’s use of Ely’s famous article and discusses Ely’s critique in more detail. It then considers whether Roe, as an example of constitutional doctrine, really merits such harsh criticism
New Commitment Pathway for Offenders with Serious Mental illness: Expedited Diversion to Court-Ordered Treatment (EDCOT)
No full textOver the last 50 years, as public hospital beds have diminished without offsetting increases in community services and supports, individuals with mental disorders have increasingly been arrested, jailed and punished. In many states, defendants thought to incompetent to stand trial wait months for assessment or treatment, only to eventually have their cases dismissed. About a quarter of arrestees have serious disorders and it has been estimated that more than 800,000 individuals with mental illness are under correctional control at any given time. “Decriminalizing mental illness” has become a standard plank in progressive proposals for overhaul of the “criminal legal system.” Professor Richard J. Bonnie will present and defend “Expedited Diversion to Court-Ordered Treatment” (EDCOT), a formal statutory diversion process for offenders with serious mental illness. As a civil commitment proceeding accompanied by dismissal of criminal charges, EDCOT would not entail a waiver of criminal trial rights and could be invoked even if the defendant lacks trial competence. EDCOT would also be available to authorize civil hospitalization of offenders who are not immediately able to function successfully in the community. These provisions, coupled with mandated compliance with outpatient treatment and judicial supervision, would enable diversion of many, perhaps most, offenders with serious mental disorders into a treatment system that could provide acute services, discharge planning, and problem-solving management in the community. Bonnie is Harrison Foundation Professor of Medicine and Law and director of the Institute of Law, Psychiatry and Public Policy at the University of Virginia. He has co-authored leading textbooks on criminal law and public health law and has devoted special attention during his career to public policies relating to mental health and substance abuse. His first book, “The Marijuana Conviction: A History of Marijuana Prohibition in the United States” (1974) was republished in 1999 as a “drug policy classic.”
Bonnie has been involved in public service throughout his career. Among other positions, he has been associate director of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse (1971‑73) and secretary of the first National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse (1976–80). He recently chaired a Commission on Mental Health Law Reform at the request of the chief justice of Virginia (2006–11) and is currently chairing an Expert Advisory Panel on Mental Health Reform for the Virginia General Assembly.
Bonnie was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 1991 and has chaired more than a dozen studies for the National Academies on subjects ranging from elder mistreatment to underage drinking, including the landmark report, “Ending the Tobacco Problem: A Blueprint for the Nation” (2007). In 2017, he chaired a study on policies needed to address the opioid epidemic in the United States and is now chairing a study on using knowledge about adolescent development to advance the well-being of all adolescents regardless of social background.
Bonnie has served as an adviser to the American Psychiatric Association (APA) since 1979, received the APA’s Isaac Ray Award in 1998 for contributions to forensic psychiatry and special presidential commendations in 2003 and 2016 for service to American psychiatry. He has also served on three MacArthur Foundation research networks, including, most recently, Law and Neuroscience. He is also a consultant to the American Academy of Neurology’s Committee on Ethics, Law and Humanities.
Bonnie received the University of Virginia’s highest honor, the Thomas Jefferson Award, in 200
Nazi Laws: From Democracy to Dictatorship in Genocide
No full textEvent Description
In recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Senior Instructor in Law Cathy Mansfield will discuss the Nazi Party’s rise to power in Germany in the years preceding the Holocaust, the legislative means by which the party and its leader, Adolph Hitler, took the country from the democratic Weimar Republic to the dictatorship it became, the anti-Jewish Nazi laws of the time, and the Nazi court system. Speaker’s Bio:

Mansfield teaches a variety of consumer, payments and commercial law courses, and also teaches a course called “Holocaust and the Law.” She is a Distinguished Fellow at The Consortium for the Research and Study of Holocaust and the Law at Chicago-Kent College of Law’s Center for National Security and Human Rights Law. She is the composer and librettist of an opera, entitled The Sparks Fly Upward, that follows three German families in Berlin, two Jewish and one Christian, through the Holocaust, and she is founder and executive director of The Sparks Fly Upward Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust, genocide and tolerance through presentations of Sparks, and ancillary activities.

The Chicago-Kent College of Law\u27s Center for National Security and Human Rights Law is a forum in which scholars, practitioners, students and the general public can grapple with the complex and evolving issues surrounding national security law, along with the manner in which society must balance the competing interests of security and freedom.
The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage is a lively community space that attracts students, adults, and groups from the community and around the country. Devoted to diversity and tolerance, it opened in 2005 with a simple mission: to build bridges of tolerance and understanding by sharing Jewish heritage through the lens of the American experience. The stories of individuals and families – past and present – come to life through state-of-the-art exhibitions, interactives and films, oral histories, photographs, and artifacts. The Museum includes The Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery – an internationally-recognized collection of Judaica – and a special exhibition gallery featuring important exhibitions of national and international acclaim.
