But I didn't answer your question, I liked anything with constitutional law implications. Con. law, criminal, con. crim. pro., federalism, environmental, even admiralty require consideration of the constitution. In admiralty, there's always the threshold of whether admiralty law applies, or state law, that's often good for some really fun legal wrangling, most of the really interesting admiralty cases have to do with constitional law. Same with environmental. Litigators always have to consider whether they are in the right forum, under the right law, and the questions are usually good for a fight in these areas. Federalism really was my favorite. I can "see" all the competing claims like force fields, and work them out like puzzles.
I guess that's my interest in the Elian case, the way all the competing interests interact. I can "see" the outcome, and I don't have a personal stake so it doesn't bother me. Getting all emotional about the force fields seems to me like getting all emotional about forces of nature - it's pointless. |
