Minnesota Lawyer recently profiled Professor JaneAnne Murray in its "Breaking the Ice" feature. She discussed her clemency and compassionate release work, as well as sharing her thoughts and insights on a variety of other topics.

In an article in the Star Tribune on corporate pushback against President Biden’s proposal to raise the corporate tax rate, Professor Jon Choi said that new economic activity could overcome any resulting loss of corporate investment. "Because the Biden administration's plan is to use increased corporate taxes to fund infrastructure investments," Choi said, "the economy's overall level of investment might rise, even if corporate investment falls as a result of the tax rate."

In a an article in USA Today, Professor Jon Lee discussed grounds for appeal in the Chauvin case. He said the inescapability from news and social media coverage was a likely argument.  “Part of the concern here is that the judge has instructed the jury not to listen to the news," Lee said. "But as Chauvin’s attorney has argued, the collective media coverage of this trial extends well beyond news coverage, and in particular in light of the shooting in Brooklyn Center. I think that was difficult to avoid hearing about for (juror) residents in the area.”

In a New York Times article covering former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kimberly A. Potter’s arrest on a second-degree manslaughter charge for the killing of Daunte Wright, Professor Richard Frase said the second-degree manslaughter statute is worded narrowly enough that the case might prove difficult for prosecutors to prove, noting that it requires them to show that Ms. Potter consciously took a chance of “causing death or great bodily harm.”
