Professor John Q. Barrett, biographer of U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Nuremberg chief prosecutor Robert H. Jackson (1892-1954) and author of the “Jackson List” email series, wrote “Farewell to the Chief Justice (1948)”, which was reposted in Columbia Law School‘s online magazine. The essay, which is about former Columbia law students and Supreme Court justices Charles Evans Hughes and Benjamin N. Cardozo, originally appeared as a Jackson List posting.

Professor Janai Nelson authored A call for a right-to-vote amendment on Constitution Day for Reuters to mark Constitution Day. Here is an excerpt:
A right-to-vote amendment would open the door to voting access for excluded groups, such as the homeless, citizens convicted of a felony, and residents of the District of Columbia, among others. In addition, a constitutional amendment process centered on the right to vote would build civic awareness, inspiring a new vision of participatory democracy.
Without an affirmative right to vote, we are left vulnerable to the whims of partisan politics and inept election administrators to determine when, how and under what conditions we can vote.
So, as we honor our Constitution’s birthday, let’s not only blow out the candles — let’s breathe new life into it with a positive, explicit and unfettered right to vote.
