True. I loved my Federalism class. I made an "A" in it, not only an "A" but the highest "A" in the class. Tulane Law School professors give an asterisk to the highest "A", and I got the asterisk. I also made "A"s without the asterisk in Constitutional Law, Constitutional Criminal Procedure, and Admiralty, which, as you may know since you are on the Pacific coast, has a lot of federalism issues.
I have a half-completed law review article on federalism issues in Admiralty tucked away in a box, never to be completed, I don't think. It had to do with the complex tests used by federal courts to determine when state law applied to a boating accident and when admiralty law applied. (The premise at the time was the "hit-the-tanker" test for application of admiralty law, but maybe you had to be there.) I guess I should mention that I was an editor of the Tulane Maritime Law Review and have an LL.M. in Admiralty Law (with distinction).
I am telling you this to let you know how hard I am willing to work to understand these issues, which may indicate to you how much fun I am having. Only another lawyer can understand how hard work equates with fun. |
