Cushman on "the Erie Scoop"

Barry Cushman, Notre Dame Law School, has posted The Erie Scoop, which is forthcoming in the Green Bag 2d.:

When the Supreme Court decided the case of Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins on April 25, 1938, the entire Washington press corps missed the story. The universality of the oversight prompted at least two of the Justices to send word of the decision’s importance out through various channels. This article relates the tale.
