Things To Read This Week (3/31)

1. Calvin’s Case and Birthright Citizenship, by Benjamin Keener. (“Calvin’s Case supports the traditional understanding that individuals born in the United States are, absent extraordinary circumstances, citizens.”)

2. The Concept of the Common Law, by co-blogger and soon-to-be UChicago colleague Sam Bray. You should be asking yourself, does your law school teach the classical understanding of the common law? If not, why not?

3. Workarounds in American Public Law, by Farber, Grould, and Stephenson. I just got a paper reprint of this in the mail(!) Relevant to some things I have been chewing on.
