Weekly Round-Up for June 15th

As always, links to some of the week's best stories:

It's not necessarily law, but it's SO cool: Voyager I is about to leave the solar system. 

Emily Bazelon thinks Jerry Sandusky should plead guilty right now (yesterday or earlier if possible). 

Heather Gerken thinks we should amend the Constitution to guarantee the right to vote. Which it does not. 

Dahlia Lithwick explains how Justice Kennedy is just like America. 

Ms. Lithwick (may I call you Dahlia) also wonders about the Supreme Court's relationship to the press. 

At Salon, John Sodoro writes about the increased scrutiny on neighborhood watch groups. 

Alex Seitz-Wald tells us about Alabama voters' chance to finally strike Jim Crow language from their constitution.  

Over at The Atlantic, Brian Wansink and David Just argue that NYC's soft-drink ban will backfire. 

And Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the limits of standing your ground.

About this Blog

Law All Over is a place to voice opinions about the fingerprints the law leaves, well, all over the place. I'm after the ways in which it shapes our lives outside of the formal institutions in which it is normally examined. Sure, occasionally I'll post - or have someone else post - about things that happen in courts or congress, but mostly I want us to talk about what happens when the law gets away from lawmakers, from lawyers, from judges, and from police officers, and gets dirty. Law is all over. Let's talk about it.
