John S. Caragozian, Karl Manheim and Don Warner have written this very interesting LA Times oped on the legal issues surrounding a possible California constitutional convention.
It also includes this bit of news: “Here at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, we along with several local groups are coordinating a high-level symposium to be held in the weeks before the 2010 election, in which journalists, scholars, elected officials and other leaders will discuss the political and legal practicalities of a constitutional convention and other reform options (go to calconst.org for more information). We believe it is time to move the discussion from the general to the specific. The details of Repair California’s initiatives, along with similar initiatives filed by other groups, should be carefully examined.”
