| U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chooses Moritz Law to Host Hearing |
When Dean Nancy Rogers realized in the spring of 2004 that Ohio was
going to be the "ground zero" of election politics, she also recognized
a great opportunity. Faculty at the Moritz College of Law had expertise
in constitutional law, campaign finance, voting technology, and voter
rights that could be used to educate the public and the press during
the tumultuous 2004 election cycle and beyond. Little did she know
that their scholarship would also bring the federal agency charged
with administering guidelines for federal elections to the Moritz
Law doorstep on February 23 to host its first-ever public hearing
outside the beltway. (learn more) |

accident. (learn more)

Blakely v. Washington decision identified constitutional
problems with sentencing guideline laws. His faculty blog is nearing
the half-million visitor mark and Wall Street Journal profiled
him in July. (learn more) |
