The Capacious Companion: Law, Lawyers and the Legal on Ethics Advisory Groups
This article asks whether and how law matters in ethics advisory work in the fields of health, medicine and science, and whether it is law or legal knowledge, or both, that matters. Written from the perspective of four law professors, each with first-hand experience of ethics advisory groups, it examines the framing of academic legal expertise on ethics advisory groups and explains why this framing requires ongoing negotiation.
