215: Listen and Learn -- The Commerce Clause

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're introducing a new series of podcast episodes called "Listen and Learn," where we're going to review substantive areas of the law and apply some of that law to facts. In this episode, we're talking about the Commerce Clause.

In this episode we discuss:

• The basic structure of first-year Constitution Law classes
• How the Commerce Clause is typically taught in class
• Building a case-based rule for the Commerce Clause
• A fact pattern involving a fictional product called Lickable Wallpaper
• Creating an analytical framework and applying it to the fact pattern
