THIS WEEK, CLE CREDIT WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12.  Virtually all lawyers and judges admitted to practice anywhere in the USA can obtain CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credit after listening to this episode by visiting podcast.njsba.com.  You do not have to be a New Jersey lawyer or resident or admitted to the NJ Bar; essentially every state has reciprocity arrangements with New Jersey.  When you visit the site you fill out a form and provide the code Andy read during the episode, pay a small fee, and within two weeks you will receive the certificate from New Jersey.  It couldn’t be easier.  Thanks to the New Jersey Bar Association for making this possible!  Note, too, that other podcast episodes from our “back catalog” now qualify for this credit as well.

The results of the research by Sam Desai, Yale Law School student and member of Professor Amar’s research team, on the supposed backdrop Griffin’s Case was alleged to have played to Congressional legislation, namely the first Enforcement Act of 1870.  Simply amazing.

As we review parts of the oral argument in Moore v. United States (from December, 2023), it is appropriate to make the amicus brief of the Professors Amar available once again.

The classic article by Professor Bruce Ackerman, from the Columbia Law Review, January 1999, which also cites the crucial role of Hylton v. United States in considering the constitutional law of taxation.
