Well, I'm going to make a go of Castle Rock as a case note anyway, dammit! I'm in the middle of my proposal right now.
In the mean time, check out a scathing and spot-on look at the case (and particularly an important precedential case) at Crime and Federalism: Part I, Part II, and Part III.


Good luck. And don't be afraid to do some "thinking out loud" on your blog -- We'd be glad to help where we can.
Thanks, I'm sure I'll take advantage of blog-opportunities.
