September JLME Update
We would like to begin this JLME update by thanking our members, subscribers, readers, authors, and editors for their incredible patience as we all await the publication of the Summer 2024 issue of the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics and the print version of the Spring 2024 Supplement. As most of you know, our publishing partner, Cambridge University Press, faced a major technical disruption this summer after it was attacked by hackers. Our Summer journal issue, which has been completed and at the press for months, has remained unpublished (along with most of Cambridge’s catalog) as they repaired their website and publishing program. The Spring supplement had been released online, but not in print. We are pleased to report the Cambridge’s operations are now functional, and we expect our issue to be published in the next 1-2 weeks. Thank you all so much for your patience as we await the release.

In spite of the terrible delays, we remain very excited about our summer issue. It features the symposium “Defining Health Law for the Future: A Tribute to Professor Charity Scott.” Containing more than forty articles, the issue is highlighted by several touching remembrances of Professor Scott, a former president, board member, author, and editor of ASLME and JLME. The issue was sponsored by Georgia State University College of Law, where Scott was a Professor of Law, and is guest-edited by Stacie P. Kershner, Erin C. Fuse Brown, Leslie E. Wolf, Paul A. Lombardo, and Yaniv Heled. We hope you enjoy the “sneak peek” of our cover.
The upshot of this delay is that the fall issue won’t be far behind our summer release. Featuring the symposium “The Ethical, Legal & Policy Challenges of Stopping Biological Time,” it is guest-edited by Susan M. Wolf, Timothy L. Pruett, and Korkut Uygun, and brings together a veritable host of authors to ask important questions about biopreservation. We hope you enjoy this and all of our offerings. As always, thank you.
