  • Visiting Judges
    Visiting Judges Marin K. Levy* Despite the fact that Article III judges hold particular seats on particular courts, the federal system rests on judicial interchangeability. Hundreds of judges “visit” other courts each year and collectively help decide thousands of appeals. Anyone from a retired Supreme Court Justice to a judge from the U.S. Court of International Trade to a district judge from out of circuit may come and hear cases on a given court of appeals. Although much has been written about the structure of the federal courts and the nature of Article III judgeships, little attention has been paid to the phenomenon of “sitting by designation”—how it came to be, how it functions today, and what it reveals about the judiciary more broadly. This Article offers an overdue account of visiting judges. It begins by providing an origin story, showing how the current practice stems from two radically different traditions. The first saw judges as fixed geographically, and allowed for visitors only as a stopgap measure when individual judges fell ill or courts fell into arrears with their cases. The second assumed greater fluidity within the courts, requiring Supreme Court Justices to ride circuit—to visit different regions and act as trial and appellate judges—for the first half of the Court’s history. These two traditions together provide the critical context for modern-day visiting. DOI: https://doi.org/10.15779/Z38ZK55M67 Copyright © 2019 California Law Review, Inc. California Law Review, Inc.

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW OMNIPRESENT STUDENT SPEECH AND THE SCHOOLHOUSE GATE: INTERPRETING TINKER IN THE DIGITAL AGE WATT LESLEY BLACK, JR. PH.D.* INTRODUCTION Historically, school authorities rarely took note of student expression that occurred outside of the school setting, but the times have changed. Technological advances have broadened the scope and reach of student speech in ways that were difficult to imagine twenty years ago. Students are using technology to threaten, bully, and harass not only their classmates, but also school employees. School administrators face enormous pressure to effectively address these issues, but they must also consider the First Amendment rights of students when deciding how and when to discipline them for what they say online while off campus.

  • Petition for Certiorari Should Be Granted So That This Court Can Settle Once and for All These Extremely Important Yet V
    No. 12- _________ IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Eugene Martin LaVergne, Petitioner, v. John Bryson, Secretary of the United States Department of Commerce, el al., Respondents. __________________________________________________ On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit __________________________________________________ Eugene Martin LaVergne 543 Cedar Avenue West Long Branch, New Jersey 07764 Telephone: (732) 272-1776 Petitioner Pro Se i QUESTIONS PRESENTED Since 1939 and this Court’s plurality decisions in Coleman v. Miller 307 U.S. 433 (1939) and the companion case of Chandler v. Wise 307 U.S. 474 (1939), the reality is that the Article III Courts (including members of this Court), the members of the Article I and Article II Political Branches, and academic commentators can not agree in any way on exactly what Coleman means, to what extent if any Coleman applies, and whether indeed today Coleman has any application or affect whatsoever on the justiciability of claims regarding the Constitution’s Article V amendment process. Indeed, in 1982 this Court already once granted certiorari in the two Equal Rights Amendment Case (National Organization for Women v. Idaho and Carmen, Administrator of General Services v. Idaho, 455 U.S. 918 (1982)) to clarify the exact same identical questions now presented again in this case, that being whether or to what extent Article V legal claims are jusdiciable under Coleman. However, because the time extension for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment expired without a sufficient number of State Legislatures ratifying the Amendment, the petitions for certiorari were dismissed on motion of the Solicitor General as moot (459 U.S.
