Congratulations to Professor Brian C. Potts, whose article, "The Federal Rules of Evi-dance: Exploring and Reimagining Evidence Law Through Music, and Proposing Amendments to Rule 604," has been accepted for publication in the Suffolk Journal of Trial and Appellate Advocacy.
The article uses leitmotivs (musical phrases) to make the Federal Rules of Evidence more concrete and easier to understand. It proposes several new arguments, rule changes, applications of Catholic principles, and explanations to make Evidence Law clearer and to challenge some common views.

3L Martha Leonard has published her article, “Cronyism in Creating Chronic Disease—A Path to Food Justice,” in the St. Thomas Law Review.
The article explores how the corporate capture of the food system shape public health outcomes. It examines federal programs such as the Farm Bill, SNAP, and the National School Lunch Program, and analyzes the role of market concentration, weakened antitrust enforcement, and regulatory gaps in agrochemicals. Martha argues that chronic disease is not simply a matter of personal choice, but is deeply influenced by law, policy, and systemic incentives.
