Well worth the read. I agree with a lot of what he writes: I teach core course (plus patent law). I’m not a fan of “Canine View of the First Amendment” and similar “courses.”

Scalia wants lawyers who are educated in all the basics. It is also apparent that has little respect for tradesmen, those a practice in one area the law and have little or no familiarity with other areas of the law.
Might I add the obvious, the lack of general jurisdiction and caseload is one of the reasons the Supreme Court does not respect the Federal Circuit. It is also one of the reasons why it will be a cold day in Hades before anybody in the Federal Circuit is seriously considered for nomination to the Supreme Court.
I couldn’t help but notice in the Grokster case that Supreme Court cited the Federal Circuit only twice, and then only on issue of inducement. With respect to contributory infringement, they cited cases from other circuits. They also introduced a very odd way of citation to the court, calling it “CA Fed.” This tells you something.
Grokster was a copy right case Ned so (again) you are over-reading things again.
Most of their cite forms are weird. They’re “above the Bluebook.”
