Things to Read This Week (4/21)
The Public Policy Exception in Choice of Law: The American Edition, a late article by the famed conflicts scholar Symeon Symeonides. As a formalist sympathetic to the First Restatement, I found this article 100% backwards, but so lucid and fair that I recommend it regardless.
Citizen of Heaven and Harvard: A Remembrance of Bill Stuntz, by Jack Goldsmith. A remarkable discussion of Christianity and the legal academy, strikingly confessional.
Drug Scheduling as Institutional Design, by Matt Lawrence and Dave Pozen.
Jurisdiction and Citizenship, by Ilan Wurman. The other big new article questioning the conventional wisdom on birthright citizenship. A must-read for those involved in these debates, though I remain unconvinced, and hope to have more to say on these as time permits.
Speaking of which: Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof: The Indian Law Context, by Gregory Ablavsky and Bethany Berger. Valuable in its own right, and also for the response to Wurman in footnote 7.'
Impotent Musings, by Leon Wieseltier. Available only to subscribers of Liberties, but worth it.
