Way Cool Audio - Part Two: The Law and Health, Work, Secrets and Death

By Eric L. Lipman

As noted in the post above, I have been listening to some thought-provoking podcasts this past week. Below, are some selections that I thought might be of interest to the readers of these pages:

n Denis Cortese, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of the Mayo Clinic, made remarks to the National Press Club earlier this month. In his address, Dr. Cortese discusses the policy changes that are needed to create a patient-centered health care system in the United States. His address is accessible through iTunes at this link here.

n On April 4, 2008, the Labor and Employment Law Practice Group of the Federalist Society hosted a panel discussion on the leading labor and employment cases before the U.S. Supreme Court this Term and what they could mean for the direction of the law. The panel discussion is accessible here.

n On the same day, the American Constitution Society hosted a panel discussion on the proper scope of the ?state secrets privilege? and recent proposals in Congress to statutorily define this privilege. The panel?s very interesting and vibrant exchange is accessible here.

n On April 7, 2008, the Honorable Danny J. Boggs, Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, delivered remarks in the ?Bradley Lecture Series? of the American Enterprise Institute. In an address entitled ?Is Death Really Different,? the Chief Judge delivered a very compelling address on the application of the death penalty by American courts. Judge Boggs? remarks are accessible here.
