Mazda Motor, the Court will hear arguments to determine the preemptive effect of National Highway Transportation Safety Administration decisions not to require safety modifications on existing equipment, and to review its 2000 decision in Geier v. American Honda Motor Co. James M. Beck of Dechert LLP previews the case for the American Bar Association’s PREVIEW of U.S. Supreme Court Cases; the ABA has generously agreed to share some of its previews – which are authored by practitioners and scholars in the field – with SCOTUSblog. You can read Mr. Beck’s preview here; PREVIEW’s website is here.
