Friday audio--Section B, Section A. Essays ## 6 and 7 due in class Wednesday. Essays ## 8, 9, and 10 posted on Monday, due at what would have been class time (11 a.m., Section B, 3 p.m., Section A) on Monday, April 20 in my office.
I posted a photo of the board for Erie, below. Work through this in conjunction with the Glannon reading to understand how the non-REA portion works. Read Berk v. Choy, especially the majority; this is the Court's most recent Erie case (from January) and offers a nice explanation of the REA analysis (also the first majority on the issue in quite awhile). Justice Jackson's concurrence agrees with the basic analysis; she believes a different rule controls the issue (and she probably has the better of the issue).
Prep the Erie Puzzles. As you will see, the problems hit on each prong of analysis. Prep them as if you were writing an essay, including fully providing the RE, not just the A we will focus on in class. Be sure to consider and be ready to discuss the procedure in which the issues arise--how will the issue be raised and presented and argued to the court?
