Ninth Circuit Survey

GOLDEN GATE UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW | Membership | Submissions | Subscriptions | Ninth Circuit Survey

The Golden Gate University Ninth Circuit Survey is the only law review in the nation dedicated to cases and questions decided by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The decisions of the nation's largest and most widely watched court of appeals regularly lend themselves to scholarly review and discussion. Whether holding that local governments are not pre-empted from enacting universal health care or that the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance violates the First Amendment, the Ninth Circuit regularly attracts national attention and leads the way on modern legal controversies.

The Ninth Circuit Survey provides a forum to analyze and evaluate significant cases decided by the Ninth Circuit during the previous year prior. Each case selected for inclusion in the Ninth Circuit Survey is examined in a Casenote that allows readers to quickly grasp the essential legal question at issue and provides detailed citations to inform an in-depth discussion or to facilitate further research.
