LAW 73372 — Federalism Seminar (A.J. Bellia): Current Awareness (including "COVID & Federalism")

This is the one on which I am working.

Current Awareness & Analysis (including "COVID & Federalism")

Bloomberg's The United States Law Week includes content related to constitutional law and federalism.  Weekly summaries and analysis provide an overview of significant federal and state court cases and legislative and administrative developments that establish new legal precedents. Coverage extends to all areas of law, and issues back to June, 1997 are included.

 

Bloomberg's Legal News page is updated daily and contains a "Circuit Splits Reported" section.

 

Bloomberg also has an In Focus: Coronavirus (Covid-19) page which includes coronavirus-related resources and guidance for employers and lawyers, including news and analysis on coronavirus legal issues; trackers and charts on Covid-19 legislation and regulations in the United States and internationally; practical guidance on force majeure and coronavirus employment law; federal and state government agency resources; and court dockets.

 

In addition to Bloomberg, the following current awareness sources may be helpful.
