For Tuesday

Monday audio. Panel # 1 (Sunny, Thomas, Alexa, Aric, Kaitlyn) is on for tomorrow.

Review the Syllabus, Assessments, and Panels; I will take questions at the beginning of class. In particular: Arguments take place the day after the final day of exams, which this semester is Friday, May 10. So: If no one has an exam on Friday, we can do arguments that day. Otherwise, we can do them on Monday, May 13 (as scheduled) or we can do them over that weekend. Be ready to discuss options.

We did not get to this today, but: Consider how judicial departmentalism explains the Southern Manifesto (the statement of Southern House members opposing Brown) and the desegregation litigation in Little Rock.

For tomorrow, prep §§ 2.01 and 2.02.

    • What do § 242 and § 1983 do? How are they similar and how are they different?

    • What is the core or obvious meaning of "under color?" How did the Court expand that core in Classic, Screws, and Monroe?
