PREFACE COVID-19 has created a pandemic unprecedented in modern times. Schools, businesses, restaurants, and even churches have closed their doors to limit the spread of the virus. Many of life’s most cherished events, including weddings, graduations, births, baptisms, and, perhaps most tragically, funerals, have been postponed, conducted virtually, or limited to only immediate family members. It is times like these that can bring us together as a nation in thought, prayer, word, and action. And there are many accounts of such unity and mutual encouragement. However, the pandemic has also highlighted the divisive parti- san rhetoric that unfortunately characterizes this country—a divisiveness that threatens, among other things, our constitu- tional structure and the liberty it guards. In this Issue of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, we have the honor of publishing two Essays based on speeches addressing constitutional concerns related to partisanship in this country. In one, Judge Thomas Griffith of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit laments the loss of civic charity— the “spirit of amity” and “mutual deference” as George Washington put it—that helped forge the Constitution and is required to maintain it. In another, Attorney General of the United States William Barr—in the Nineteenth Annual Barbara K. Olson Memorial Lecture at the Federalist Society’s 2019 National Lawyers Convention—condemns partisan attacks on the executive power that the Framers enshrined in the Constitution, particularly those directed against President Donald Trump’s Administration. He warns, “In this partisan age, we should take special care not to allow the passions of the moment to cause us to permanently disfigure the genius of our constitu- tional structure.” Special thanks are due the editors from other law schools who volunteered to stay on for yet another issue to prepare Attorney General Barr’s speech for publication. We could not have published it without their outstanding work. We are delighted to follow these Essays with two excellent Articles on current legal issues. The first Article, by Louis Capozzi, is a fifty-state survey of the right to appointed counsel in misdemeanor cases and shows that many states have pro- Preface ii vided a broader right to counsel than that required by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Capozzi provides a di- verse array of approaches to misdemeanor justice that states may consider instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. In the sec- ond Article, Professor Thomas Molony traces the history of opinions written or joined by Chief Justice Roberts in cases in- volving stare decisis with an eye to how the Chief Justice might rule in a case challenging Roe v. Wade. He concludes that the Chief Justice’s devotion to judicial restraint and the rule of law would lead him to vote in favor of overruling Roe only if a chal- lenged abortion regulation cannot be upheld on narrower grounds and if reaffirming Roe would cause more harm to the Constitution than casting the abortion question out of federal courts and back to the States. Finally, we have the pleasure of publishing one of our own in this Issue. In another piece on the Sixth Amendment, Douglas Colby argues that death qualification—the process of removing potential jurors who are unwilling to impose the death penalty— does not violate an originalist understanding of the the Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury. I end this preface of my last Issue on a more personal note. It has been a true honor to serve as Editor-in-Chief of this excep- tional journal. The Journal has been my home since my first year of law school. As Editor-in-Chief, I have seen all of the hard work and dedication that editors put into this journal at every stage. More than that, I have the privilege of calling each and every member of this journal not only a classmate and col- league, but a friend. It is bittersweet to be graduating and leav- ing behind my work on the Journal, but I am confident the next masthead will continue its legacy of excellence, and I look for- ward to seeing the bright futures of all of its members unfold.

A BmLIOGRAPHY FOR THE UNITED STATES COURTS OF APPEALS· by Thomas E. Baker" If we are to keep our democracy, there must be one commandment: Thou shalt not ration justice. - Learned Handl This Bibliography was compiled for a book by the present author entitled, RATIONING JUSTICE ON ApPEAL - THE PROBLEMS OF THE V.S. COURTS OF APPEALS, published in 1994 by the West Publishing Company. That book is a general inquiry into the question whether the United States Courts of Appeals have broken Judge Hand's commandment already and, if not, whether the Congress and the Courts inevitably will be forced to yield to the growing temptation to ration justice on appeal. After a brief history of the intermediate federal courts, the book describes the received tradition and the federal appellate ideal. The book next explains the "crisis in volume," the consequences from the huge docket growth experienced in the Courts of Appeals since the 1960s and projected to continue for the foreseeable future.

INTRODUCTION Written laws guiding civil actions in the federal district courts chiefly address the presentation, preparation and resolution of claims involving parties. However, the courts often also consider claims in- volving nonparties as well as nonclaim matters involving parties and nonparties alike. Guidelines here mainly appear in federal precedents and, to a lesser extent, in local court rules. They often follow in-state court practices. The absence of written general laws for nonparty claims and nonclaim matters often leads to unnecessary confusion and t Jeffrey A. Parness is a professor of law at Northern Illinois University.

New, generally applicable written guidelines could help reduce uncertainty and promote fairness. 2 To exemplify, we shall particularly explore possible reforms in settlement conference settings where the interests of nonparty insur- ers are at stake, as well as in adjudicatory settings where nonparty insurers seek recoveries from proceeds obtained by their insureds as party claimants.

The Political Ideologies of Law Clerks and their Judges Adam Bonica, Adam Chilton, Jacob Goldin, Kyle Rozema, & Maya Sen∗ February 29, 2016 We study the political ideology of judicial law clerks using a novel dataset that combines the most comprehensive data sources on political ideology and the identity of U.S. federal law clerks. First, we examine the distribu- tion of clerks' ideology and find that clerks tend to be disproportionately liberal, with clerks on lower courts being more liberal on average than clerks for higher courts. Second, we find that judges tend to consistently hire clerks with similar ideologies and that those ideologies track available measures of the judge's own ideology.

Levy† It is common knowledge that the federal courts of appeals typically hear cases in panels of three judges and that the composition of the panel can have significant consequences for case outcomes and for legal doctrine more generally. Yet neither legal scholars nor social scientists have focused on the question of how judges are selected for their panels. Instead, a substantial body of scholarship simply assumes that panel assignment is random. This Article provides what, up until this point, has been a missing account of panel assignment. Drawing on a multiyear qualitative study of five circuit courts, including in-depth inter- views with thirty-five judges and senior administrators, I show that strictly random selection is a myth, and an improb- able one at that—in many instances, it would have been im- possible as a practical matter for the courts studied here to create their panels by random draw.
