wine news: oral arguments on tuesday
I'm fortunate to have been able to arrange for a reserved seat for the oral arguments in the wine wars cases, so early Monday morning I'm hopping a JetBlue flight to D.C. so I'll be in town in time for Tuesday morning's event at the Court. Those presenting arguments are listed at left; if any of you are curious, the briefs for the three consolidated cases are online.
While I'm tickled to be able to attend oral arguments at all, attending these is particularly meaningful because my Comment--on this very topic and these cases--will be published by the UCLA Law Review in its February 2005 issue.
Clint Bolick has been involved in the Swedenburg case and related cases in other states for several years now. I'm looking forward to his presentation to the Court, and especially to the questions and answers between counsel and the Justices given this issue's tangled social and legal history.
Keep your fingers crossed and don't forget the mantra: "Free the grapes!"
Did I mention that I return late on Tuesday evening, and my Evidence final is first thing Wednesday morning? And Art Law on Thursday morning? I'm taking the Bose headphones with me and planning to put all the hours in airports and on planes to good use.
