Tuesday audio. Panel I papers due at the beginning of class Tuesday.
For Monday, we will continue with SCOTUS: Structure and Role; be ready to evaluate the constitutional and policy arguments for and against the proposed structural reforms for SCOTUS, as well as FDR's court-packing plan.
Prep all of Original Jurisdiction.
We will begin talking about Appellate Jurisdiction, but just prep the questions and reading about the evolution of SCOTUS' jurisdiction (discretionary v. mandatory). How does pure discretionary jurisdiction affect the Court's role and function and how it affects (and perhaps undermines) the arguments for judicial review.
We will begin Review of State Courts on Tuesday.
