03/27/2020
Enforcing Indiana’s stay at home order, made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, may be tricky to enforce, Professor Lea Shaver told the Indianapolis Star. She talked about the best practices for enforcing the order in a news story.
In the article, Professor Shaver said the best practice will be to have state and local officials, community leaders and faith leaders encourage people to comply.
"Where you have seen things work," Professor Shaver told the reporter, "like in South Korea and Japan, they are having good results because citizens have voluntarily complied with the orders, not because they have been draconian with penalties."
Professor Shaver is the author of Ending Book Hunger: Access to Print Across Barriers of Class and Culture, which was published by Yale University Press. Her scholarship applies a social justice perspective to the study of copyright law. An internationally recognized expert on the intersection of intellectual property and human rights law, Professor Shaver's scholarship informs the concept of “the right to science and culture” embraced at the United Nations.
