Illustrated Law School: Justice Jackson’s Zones of Executive Power, Youngstown Sheet & Tube

a few days late for the con law exam, but nevertheless a refresher for those rainy days when you feel like recalling limitations on executive power.

This hand-drawn print explores Justice Robert Jackson’s famous concurrence in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer—a cornerstone of U.S. Constitutional Law. His tripartite framework for evaluating executive power remains a guiding lens for understanding the balance between the President and Congress.

I drew this originally during 1L year of law school to study for conlaw. You can use it too — or the special law student in your life! This piece is both functional and visually compelling—a reminder of how legal reasoning shapes government authority.
