Mr. Norman Chachkin 

Mr. Jim Nabrit 

I agree with you on the utility 
Of meeting with Leo Pfeffer. If you 
will prepare a file of relevant materials 
for me in Norwood v. Harrison I will send 
them on to him and ask him to read them 
in advance of the conference. 

  

Why is Mel concerned about juris- 
diction in the Supreme Court? Without 
reading the pleadings and so forth, 
it appears to me to be a three-judge 
court case. If he is seeking to enjoin 
the enforcement of a state statute of 
statewide applicability by proceeding 
against a state officer, it is difficult 
to think of how the case could have been 
framed to avoid doing that. 

Perhaps we should talk about 
jurisdiction and get Nabrit in on it 
very soon. [||26ddfa81-ce7b-4fb5-8771-96346b543110||]
