Concurring Opinions » Minnesota Law Review

The Minnesota Law Review is proud to announce the spring edition of our new online companion journal, Minnesota Law Review Headnotes. In addition to serving as the online archive of the Law Review‘s print articles, available in PDF format, Headnotes also features original, online-only Response articles in which prominent academics respond to the articles the Law Review publishes. Comment fields are available at the end of each Response, and readers are encouraged to provide feedback.

In this issue of Headnotes:

Ralph Hall (University of Minnesota Law School) responds to Richard Epstein’s article, Against Permititis: Why Voluntary Organizations Should Regulate the Use of Cancer Drugs. In Right Question, Wrong Answer, Professor Hall argues that while he agrees with Professor Epstein’s assessment of the problems with the FDA drug approval process, he disagrees with his proposed solution. Professor Hall argues that Professor Epstein’s solution—to reduce the FDA to an advisory/information role after Phase I testing—devalues the mission of the FDA and has already been rejected by the body politic. Instead, Professor Epstein contends that the solution to problems with the FDA drug approval process is to work to improve and optimize the system, not to eliminate it.

Aaron Perzanowski (Wayne State University Law School) responds to David Fagundes’s article, Property Rhetoric and the Public Domain. In In Defense of Intellectual Property Anxiety, Professor Perzanowski expresses skepticism about two assumptions underlying the argument for embracing property rhetoric to promote the public domain. This argument assumes, first, public recognition of social discourse theory as an account of property and, second, rhetorical advantages of social discourse theory that are comparable to those of more familiar notions of private property. Perzanowski concludes that the simple intuitive appeal of Blackstonian property cautions against styling the struggle for balanced copyright and patent policy as a debate over competing property interests.

Ted Sampsell-Jones (William Mitchell College of Law) replies to Professors Cribari and Judges’s article, Speaking of Silence: A Reply to “Making Defendants Speak “. In On Silence, Professor Sampsell-Jones argues that their theory of the Self-Incrimination Clause, which relies on intuition to determine which practices are necessary to “test the prosecution” in criminal cases, is lacking in both textual support and practical utility. As a result, he concludes that their defense of Griffin v. California is unconvincing.

Minnesota Law Review — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:25:21 +0000

The Minnesota Law Review is proud to announce the fall edition of our new online companion journal, Minnesota Law Review Headnotes. In addition to serving as the online archive of the Law Review‘s print articles, available in PDF format, Headnotes also features original, online-only Response articles in which prominent academics respond to the articles the Law Review publishes. Comment fields are available at the end of each Response, and readers are encouraged to provide feedback.

In this issue of Headnotes Responses:

Peter Lee (UC Davis School of Law) responds to Pamela Samuelson‘s article, Are Patents on Interfaces Impeding Interoperability?. In Innovating Between and Within Technological Paradigms: A Response to Samuelson, Professor Lee builds on Professor Samuelson’s article to emphasize that the social costs and benefits of interface patents are highly context-specific. Invoking the concept of “technological paradigms,” Professor Lee argues that strong interface patents can promote significant technological advances in contested industries, but that ex post policy interventions may be necessary to curtail patents on industry standards.

Donald P. Judges (University of Arkansas) and Stephen J. Cribari (University of Minnesota Law School) respond to Ted Sampsell-Jones‘s article, Making Defendants Speak. In Speaking of Silence: A Response to Making Defendants Speak, Professors Judges and Cribari concentrate on explaining why they do not share Professor Sampsell-Jones’s underlying antipathy to the Fifth Amendment right to silence at trial. That antipathy, also frequently expressed by other commentators, is reflected in the article’s proposed rejection of Griffin v. California’s prohibition regarding adverse inferences from the defendant’s assertion of that right. The modern right to silence at trial, while perhaps more robust than framing-era practice, has emerged in a criminal justice system the scope and intrusiveness of which itself greatly exceeds framing-era experience. Griffin’s no-adverse-inference rule, and the right to silence at trial it helps to effectuate, are components of an interrelated cluster of protections, the centerpiece of which is the right to counsel, that reinforce the “test the prosecution” and “anti-inquisitorial” nature of today’s system. While neither theoretically tidy nor practically perfect, those protections at least offer a modicum of dignity which the authors believe many persons would want to have when faced with a powerful adversary in a dehumanizing process. Finally, the authors briefly note why they believe the purported benefits from the reforms proposed in Making Defendants Speak are illusory.

Announcing Minnesota Law Review Headnotes

Minnesota Law Review — Fri, 15 May 2009 04:00:08 +0000

The Minnesota Law Review is proud to announce the launch of our new online companion journal, Minnesota Law Review Headnotes. Headnotes will serve as the online archive of the Law Review‘s print articles, available in PDF format, but it will also feature original, online-only Response articles in which prominent academics respond to the articles the Law Review publishes.

In our inaugural round of Headnotes Responses:

Orin Kerr (George Washington University Law School) responds to Jack Balkin‘s Lecture, The Constitution in the National Surveillance State. In The National Surveillance State: A Response to Balkin, Kerr agrees with Balkin’s premise that the development of surveillance and data-gathering technology presents problems for the law, but argues against Balkin’s conclusion that these new technological developments require a fundamental shift in governance.

Lisa Blomgren Bingham and David S. Good (Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs) respond to Michael LeRoy‘s article, Do Courts Create Moral Hazard? When Judges Nullify Employer Liability in Arbitrations. In A Better Solution to Moral Hazard in Employment Arbitration: It Is Time to Ban Predispute Binding Arbitration Clauses, Bingham and Good take a second look at LeRoy’s statistics and probe some of his empirical conclusions. They then suggest an entirely different policy prescription to solve the arbitration problem: banning binding predispute arbitration agreements in employment altogether.

Alexandra B. Klass (University of Minnesota Law School) responds to Sara Bronin‘s article, The Quiet Revolution Revived: Sustainable Design, Land Use Regulation, and the States. In Climate Change and Reassessing the “Right” Level of Government, Klass further explores and amplifies the federalism issues that Bronin introduced in her article. Klass ultimately advocates applying the “cooperative federalism” approach used in other areas of environmental law to the problems of local regulation of green building.

In addition to its original online content, Headnotes also features an archive of the Law Review‘s print issues. Currently, the past four years of articles (Volumes 90-93) are available online, with greater coverage to come over the next few months. In the next few weeks, we will also be updating our Table of Contents entries here on Concurring Opinions to reflect our most recent articles, now available online.
