Prof. McGeveran Interviewed on MPR about Standing in Health Reform Lawsuit

Professor William McGeveran spoke to Minnesota Public Radio's Elizabeth Stawicki about the role of standing doctrine in a challenge to the federal health care reform law that is now pending before the Eighth Circuit. McGeveran, who teaches civil procedure, explained that limits on standing promote judicial restraint and avoid ruling on hypothetical disputes. The district court dismissed the case on standing grounds, and the appeals court heard arguments Thursday morning in St. Paul.
