New light on retiree jurisdiction

Prof. Steve Vladeck today filed this post-argument letter with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Larrabee v. Del Toro. At issue is whether it is constitutional to try a retiree by court-martial. The new research--a paper by Major Marc J. Emond--called to the court's attention can be found here on SSRN.
