Want an edited copy of NY State Rifle & Pistol Association?

I will be happy to send professors a preview from the Barnett/Blackman 2020 supplement

Every year, law school casebooks release "supplements" that included edited excerpts of recently-decided cases. Usually, I prepare the supplement for the Barnett/Blackman casebook in July and August. But this term, I decided to edit newly-decided cases the same day they are released. It's a fun and efficient way of digesting decisions in real time.

Yesterday, I edited NY State Rifle & Pistol Association v. NY. This case is a good teaching vehicle for the mootness doctrine. Also, Justice Alito provides a good illustration of "pretext" analysis in the Second Amendment context.

If any professors would like a copy, please email me.

I also have an edited version of Allen v. Cooper. This case, which concerns Blackbeard's pirate ship, provides a recent restatement of sovereign immunity doctrine. (Justice Kagan's decision is a joy to read.)

Incredible. Essentially New York pulled a "It's just a prank, bro!" to avoid judgement on this case?

If this is a valid strategy, I don't want to hear dick about "Court Packing" again. If statism can simply defer the implementation of its unconstitutional laws until later than the court has greatly weakened its ability to reasonably control interpretation of the law.

A 2 page per curiam opinion seems like a horrible teaching vehicle for any doctrine.

So is this what is known as a "sawed off" version of the opinion?

Overnight textbooking?

Should purchasers expect the level of quality control associated with the Today In Supreme Court History series published at the Volokh Conspiracy?
