Fane Lozman, the successful petitioner-owner of the not-a-vessel-house at issue in Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach, No. 11-626 (Jan. 15, 2013) was interviewed recently on the radio show "The Justice Hour with Lisa Macci."
In Lozman, the Court held that Lozman's houseboat is not a "vessel" under 1 U.S.C. § 3 (a "watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transportation on water") because a "reasonable observer, looking to the home's physical characteristics and activities, would not consider it to be designed to any practical degree for carrying people or things on water."
Macci is a lawyer with a twice-weekly program that focuses on legal issues, and she has made a mp3 of the Lozman interview available here (alternative wma formatted download here).
