Law and Public Policy commentaries make news

Two commentaries written by students in my Law and Public Policy class have proved to be newsworthy.  As this story explains, Governor Deval Patrick has just signed legislation that was discussed by Erica Mattison, JD ’13 in a commentary published in Rappaport Briefing last year.  And as this story explains, Governor Patrick has also approved regulations that would ban the shackling of inmates in labor, a practice discussed by Hilary Detmold JD ’12 in a 2012 commentary for Rappaport Briefing.  The commentaries can be read here.
