Student Law Review Articles

Yesterday's post about the Emoluments Clause and its effect on eligibility for Executive office, turns out to have had its roots in an article written by a then-law student. The author is now a USMC JAG based at Camp Pendelton. And the author has a very interesting take on the anticipated Clinton-State nomination.

It's encouraging to see young lawyers, new scholars, having a real-world effect on things. For them, it's probably gratifying enough that someone other than their parents and editors actually read the articles they write. I know for myself that it's exciting to see other people take the ideas you throw out and use them and debate them. (For instance, I give myself at least partial credit, for instance, for the practice of political campaigns buying ASCAP licenses.)
