In writing this paper imagine you are a clerk for a Supreme Court justice (clerks are recent graduates, usually of elite law schools, who assist the justices for a year or two) and you have been asked to write a document that (1) analyzes Supreme Court commerce clause cases starting with Gibbons v. Ogden and (2) that provides for the justice a summary and context for evaluating the issues raised in the Bates appeal.Don't just summarize each case. Instead explain why the precedents and the principles involved in those cases are appropriate and relevant for deciding Bates. Think of this paper as your response to the justice's request.
