The Utah Law Review's annual Lee E. Teitelbaum Symposium is here! We're exploring how the FDA's medical product vetting might be strengthened—while defending it from interference.

Amazing panels this morning with top experts from law schools, med schools, journalism, and more.

He also has published two books: Law and the Contradictions of the Disability Rights Movement (Yale University Press, 2009) and Disability Rights Law: Cases and Materials (Foundation Press, 2010); he is now working on the fourth edition of the latter.

I just want to re-up this Health Affairs Forefront piece co-authored with @rickweinmeyer.bsky.social. We're working on the concept of a "Public Health Law Vacuum" as a form of governance failure.

Who is creating these vacuums? Why? What are the consequences? And what can we do about it? ⤵️
