Stephen Berzon: Good morning. It struck me yesterday listening to Bob Kuttner's opening talk and then listening to the previous panel how, to some degree, history has a way of repeating itself. Back when I was first starting to practice law in the late 1960s and working in legal services, I can recall participating in many programs that addressed... |

A REPUBLIC OF THE MIND: COGNITIVE BIASES, FISCAL FEDERALISM, AND SECTION 164 OF THE TAX CODE |
82 Indiana Law Journal 673 (Summer, 2007) |

Since the passage of the Help America Vote Act in 2002, nearly half of the states have enacted some form of an identification requirement as a prerequisite to in-person voting.
