Jurisdictionality and Bowles v. Russell

Scott Dodson, Jurisdictionality and Bowles v. Russell, 102 Nw. U. L. Colloqy 42 (2007)

Just basically a note on Bowles v. Russell, which holds that time limits are jurisdictional. It's a preposterous decision, 5-4, conservatives over liberals, but it utterly ignores Arbaugh.

That said, this article isn't really relevant to me now. The case might be as an example of how even Arbaugh, with its categorical rule, hasn't actually settled these questions, that there might be more room for debate on these issues.
