DOES THE CONSTITUTION PROVIDE MORE BALLOT ACCESS PROTECTION FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS THAN FOR U.S. HOUSE ELECTIONS? |
85 Fordham Law Review 1113 (December, 2016) |
Both the U.S. Constitution and The Federalist Papers suggest that voters ought to have more freedom to vote for the candidate of their choice for the U.S. House of Representatives than they do for the President or the U.S. Senate. Yet, strangely, for the last thirty-three years, the U.S. Supreme Court and lower courts have ruled that the... |

FIVE EASY PIECES: RECURRENT THEMES IN AMERICAN PROPERTY LAW |

The title of my article, Five Easy Pieces, may not resonate with those of you who are too young to remember Jack Nicholson as a budding young movie star cut out of the James Dean mold.
