    "How One Brown Student Shut Down The NRA"

<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/16/brown-student-nra-campaign-finance_n_4792311.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000052>

    One morning last month, Rhode Islanders woke up to the news that the
    National Rifle Association had been charged with the second-largest
    campaign finance ethics violation in state history
    <http://www.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/content/20140117-ri-board-of-elections-fines-nra-for-campaign-law-violation.ece>.
    In a settlement reached by the Rhode Island Board of Elections, the
    NRA admitted that it improperly funneled money from its national
    Political Action Committee (or "PAC") to the Rhode Island-specific
    PAC, illegal under state law. The PAC was fined a historic $63,000.

    What the stories didn't reveal? That the NRA's wrongdoing, the
    record fine, and the shuttering of the NRA's Rhode Island PAC was
    the result of the initial hunch of one person: Brown University
    student Sam Bell.

    New Statutory Interpretation Book by Hillel Levin

It's not yet on the West page, but you can find it on Amazon 
<http://www.amazon.com/Statutory-Interpretation-Practical-Lawyering-American/dp/0314286632> 
and I have received a hard copy of Hillel Y. Levin, Statutory 
Interpretation: A Practical Lawyering Course. It seems meant for a 
statutory interpretation course or component of a larger Legislation course.

I love Hillel's work on statutory interpretation, and refer to it a lot 
in my upcoming Examples and Explanations book.  I look forward to 
delving into this.
