The ASLME Project on Legal Constraints on Access to Effective Pain Relief which is generously supported by The Mayday Fund has sponsored original research from nationally recognized scholars. Their major works are published in special collections published in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics in 1996, 1998 and 2001. Additionally, however, our Mayday Scholars regularly share their views on breaking news stories or more discrete issues in the Essays that we present here:
