Abstract
Amici are scholars and teachers in various fields of public law that bear on federal preemption of state law.
Amici have each written extensively on questions involving the preemption of state law by federal statutes and regulations. We submit this brief as an opportunity to bring our scholarship to bear on questions of public importance facing the Court
Question Presented: Whether the Locomotive Inspection Act preempts the field of state common-law claims against manufacturers of locomotives and locomotive parts by workers injured in railroad maintenance facilities.
