New Circuit Splits: Potential Paper Topics

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | April 08, 2008 - 09:43

B.N.A.'s U.S. Law Week has released its quarterly chart showing splits of opinion among the federal appeals courts. The latest chart includes splits noted in U.S.L.W. news stories appearing during the first quarter of 2008. There are lots of issues - everything from banning the sale of sexual devices to accommodation of employees' religious beliefs.

Circuit splits can be a great source for paper topics. Keep this in mind for next year's papers and law review notes, or possibly for the Law Review 's and Journal of Law and Health's summer writing competition.

To find prior circuit split charts, click on "Search all Issues" and do a search for "circuit splits" and select "in headings only".
