The North Carolina Law Review, a student-operated journal, serves judges, attorneys, scholars, and students by publishing outstanding legal scholarship.

“The Review is pre-eminently a vehicle for advocating, rationalizing, and justifying change. It has never been merely a mausoleum in which are enshrined the embalmed cadavers of the law.”

In her Comment published in 103-3, Morgan Lee analyzes North Carolina’s House Bill 76, which significantly reformed North Carolina’s Certificate of Need statute, and, over a multiyear period, will relax CON regulation of several healthcare services and facilities.

[N.C. Law Review @NCLRev]

She argues that while H.B. 76’s regulatory reforms are generally positive for North Carolinians, CON should ultimately remain law in North Carolina, both due to its impact on healthcare access and its ability to be utilized to address various health policy goals.

Dylan argues that while the case itself is unlikely to make waves, it demonstrates the malleability of the major questions doctrine and its effectiveness as an antiregulatory tool.

In his Recent Development published in 103-2, Dylan T. Silver analyzes the Fourth Circuit’s decision in North Carolina Coastal Fisheries Reform Group v. Capt. Gaston LLC.
