For Monday, August 31

Tuesday audioFoundations papers due at the beginning of class Monday. I know this section is a bit more theoretical or policy-based than others, but that gives you a bit more freedom to write. Because it relates to the discussion of term limits, you may discuss the SCOTUS reform proposals as they relate to the constitutional foundation things we discussed in Panel # 1.

We continue with Original Jurisdiction. What other policies justify Wyndotte? How does § 1251(a) raise a special problem under Wyndotte and how does the Court get passed that?

Then move to Mandatory/Discretionary; include  S. Ct. R. 14.1 and S. Ct. R. 10. Then prep Review of Federal Courts of Appeals and Reviewing State Courts, covering BackgroundPower of Review, and Independent and Adequate. I hope to just about finish SCOTUS by next Tuesday.
