Professor Scott Dodson鈥檚 Oklahoma Law Review Article Cited in 10th Circuit Ruling
The United States Court of Appeals 10th Circuit recently cited an article from Professor Scott Dodson in a contract assignment decision.
The 10th Circuit quoted from Dodson鈥檚, 鈥淒ignity: The New Frontier of State Sovereignty,鈥 56 Okla. L. Rev. 777, 778 (2003), in Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services v. United States Department of Education Rehabilitation Services Administration, where it upheld a district court decision to appoint counterclaimant David Altstatt, Sr. to a disputed vending assignment. The 10th Circuit also reversed the district court鈥檚 decision to award Altstatt, Sr. damages and attorney fees.
The decision was announced on Sept. 26.
鈥淸T]he dignity rationale itself lacks substantial justification and is untethered to any limiting principles save those locked inside the minds of five Justices,鈥 wrote Dodson, Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr. Distinguished Professor of Law & Associate Dean for Research.
Dodson’s articles also appear in the recently released聽2018听Judges鈥 Book where he writes on聽issues of jurisdiction.
