The passages from the biblical books of Matthew (chapter 27), Mark (chapter 15) and Luke (chapter 23) "pretty much agree on the story," said Douglas Laycock, a UVA professor of law and religious studies. "No one says that Jesus was offered a lawyer, or a chance to bring one, or a chance to call his own witnesses. No one said he could testify in writing if he didn't want to answer orally," Laycock told us.
“I think it’s fairly clear that the constitutional structure is under a cloud of doubt right now,” UVA law professor John Duffy told a hastily convened panel of the House Judiciary’s subcommittee on courts, intellectual property and the internet Nov. 19.

A recently published study determined mortality rates of patients treated with hemodialysis were different for racial and ethnic groups based on whether patients received care in U.S. states or territories. “While there have been extensive analyses of [chronic kidney disease] and ESKD in the 50 U.S. states, there are few studies about kidney disease in the U.S. territories,” Guofen Yan, of the Department of Public Health Sciences at the UVA School of Medicine, and colleagues wrote. “The U.S. has five territories that are permanently inhabited and comprised of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Vi...
