- Over at Torts, law professor Alberto Bernabe covers an ethically troubling phenomenon: the outsourcing of pediatric clinical trials. More and more pediatric clinical trials are being conducted outside the United States. Nearly forty percent of pediatric clinical trials are now being carried out in developing countries. Given a recent Second Circuit decision, the outsourcing of clinical trials might not reduce the pharmaceutical companies’ legal exposure, but patients in the developing world are certainly more likely to have a tougher time getting a lawyer with the skills to successfully sue for them. Also problematic, as Bernabe points out, is the distribution of benefits from these clinical trials. Local populations are the test subjects in these clinical trials but once these expensive pharmaceutical make their way to market will they be available in poor corners of the world? [Torts].
- Over at the Volokh Conspiracy, Professor Volokh raises a question that has long puzzled me: Why does the Supreme Court often use a series of asterisks as an ellipsis? [Volokh Conspiracy]
