Erratum
In the January 16 “From the President,” Jonathan Marks was incorrectly identified as a reporter for the News and Observer in Raleigh, N.C. Marks, a barrister from London, is a visiting professor of law at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Law. He is well known for representing Nancy Olivieri, M.D., in the European Court of Justice in a case that raised a number of legal and ethical issues arising from the direct funding of clinical trials by pharmaceutical companies. He also recently wrote an article on direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, which is posted at www.ncmedicaljournal.com/nov-dec-03/ar110311.pdf. ▪
