Scholarly Symposium on Caperton is Published

By Peter Hardin

A Symposium on Caperton v. Massey, the landmark Supreme Court decision about campaign spending and judicial recusal, is in print from Syracuse Law Review.

Among Gavel Grab’s missions is to circulate resources on protecting fair and impartial courts. To that end, you can find two of the Symposium articles free online from the Social Science Research Network. They are James Sample’s   “Caperton: Correct Today, Compelling Tomorrow” and Ronald D. Rotunda’s “Judicial Disqualification in the Aftermath of Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co.”

Gavel Grab will try to provide links if the other papers become available for free. The authors include Dahlia Lithwick, Steven Lubet, Bruce A. Green, Elizabeth B. Wydra, and Andrew L. Frey and Jeffery A. Berger. By clicking here you can see the table of contents. To read about Caperton, visit Gavel Grab or the Justice at Stake resource page on the decision.
