Case law summaries and three book reviews are also included.

If you recall, all of the a/m articles were initially free-to-access when they were first posted online. That is no longer the case now that the journal issue has been formally published. However, as I noted above, two articles do continue to be freely available (one is open access, the other is free full-text).

*UPDATE (29 May 2019): All contents of this issue are now freely available!
