Keynote Speech: New Science, New Opportunities, and New Legal Rules

18 Wake Forest J. Bus. & Intell. Prop. L. 638

My goal today is to ask you to think about the fact that there are new
ways that the knowledge being developed can be utilized in civil
litigation. The other goal is to urge scientists, doctors, investors, and
others to start trying to accomplish change in legal systems and the
health insurance industry so that researchers can overcome some of the
problems which have stymied the rapid advancement of molecular
diagnostics and cancer therapy. There are a lot of areas in which you
can do that, but the most important one is the law, which can’t keep up
today.
