  reviewjournal.com -- News: Nevada court's tax ruling criticized by law review
The article was printed in January by the law review, a student-run organization with the primary purpose of publishing a journal of legal scholarship.
Hettrick, who was unavailable for comment on the Harvard article, said in June the various agency budgets already approved by lawmakers should be reopened to reduce the size of the tax increase needed to fund education.
The law review article also said the court misapplied its own court rule by saying substantive provisions in law (the requirement that public education be funded) carry more weight than procedural provisions (the two-thirds requirement to raise taxes).

 THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY - HARVARD LAW REVIEW - 1890

Beckwith, the anonymous reviewer writes, "persuasively argues that presentation of ID in public schools would not impermissibly 'establish' religion"; he "provides four potent secular reasons why schools may permit or require the presentation of ID"; he "pulls the trigger in the final chapter"; and so on (italics added).
Even more astonishingly, the Harvard Law Review piece paints the ID movement as entirely divorced from religion, citing its "exclusive focus on empirical evidence and philosophical argument." This statement is extremely misleading.

In the past two years, a number of shooting victims or their survivors have brought suit attempting to recover damages from handgun manufacturers under a theory of products liability law.
The question of the value of handguns and their role in society is one for the legislatures, not for the courts.

A review of all relevant studies on this subject is beyond the scope of this Note.
