• Discuss the three types of mechanisms for transferring cases to another court. What method was used in Carnival Cruise Lines v. Shute? What did the Court hold in that case, and what was the Court's reasoning? Do you agree with the Court's position?(You can use the argument discussed in the dissent if you disagree, or you can have your own argument).
• Afterwards, discuss the Supreme Court case of Erie Railroad v. Tompkins. What did the Court hold in that case? What were the reasons the Court gave for applying state law in federal court? What did the Court hold in Guaranty Trust v. York? How does this case fit into the Erie framework?
