From Bangkok to the US Embassy: A review of travel law.

Commerce Clause Jurisprudence

Bredimus Jurisprudence

Our guide, call him Bredimus, leads us through a selection of documents that deal with the Commerce Clause and the powers and responsibilities it confers upon the U.S. Congress. The U.S. District Courts have been asked to review the Commerce Clause on numerous occasions by people accused of committing crimes in foreign nations.

Commerce clause jurisprudence, Bredimus points out, is characteristically complex and sophisticated. A landmark case list magnifies the attention paid to the powers of the United States Congress to regulate travel and commerce in foreign nations.

Bredimus notes that Formalism and Realism in Commerce Clause Jurisprudence has been published by Barry Cushman of the University of Virginia School of Law. "The article attempts a reconceptualization of developments in commerce clause jurisprudence between the Civil War and World War II". It is obvious, Bredimus notes, that considerable judicial opinion has been amassed on Commerce Clause interpretation.

Bredimus finds that Commerce Clause Jurisprudence by Barry Cushman is a very significant document acknowledged by the University of Chicago Law Review among other resources devoted to Commerce Clause Jurisprudence. U.S. District Court judges will be aware of Cushman's opinions on the Commerce Clause and its historical evolution.
