Quest for Freedom

2007-09-28T01:34:00.000-07:00

Elaine Brown | Ed & Elaine's MySpace | September 28th 2007Where do we stand today in our country in the matter of freedom? Do we even know what freedom is today? The founders of our country knew, but it took them a couple of years to realize it.After escaping from Britain and the rules of the king, it took those brave pilgrims some time to fully realize and be able to appreciate the fact that

Jeff Yates offers this fantastic suggestion:With law school ranking techniques being perennially popular and Moneyball type analyses gaining ground, what might be another way of assessing the relative capabilities of a law school’s students and graduates?It seems to me that it would be great if we had this situation in which law schools had student teams that competed against other law schools’

The Milton Bradley Final Exam Contest

2007-09-26T12:46:00.000-07:00

Milton Bradley (yes, that's really his name) of the San Diego Padres was ejected from a game on Sunday for arguing with an umpire. Bradley became enraged and had to be restrained, first by his first base coach and then by his manager, Bud Black. Black threw Bradley to the ground tearing Bradley's anterior cruciate ligament; Bradley will miss the regular season and the playoffs. Here's video of

Unless of course you just have a bunch of money laying around. I am sharing this with you because of the lesson I learned the hard way.

More Graduates, Fewer Jobs: That Can't Be Good News

2007-09-24T08:27:00.000-07:00

The WSJ has a big story today on the fact that the legal services sector has lagged badly behind the economy in recent years and that the number of law schools (and graduates) has proliferated over the same period. As the numbers bear out, this isn't good news for most law graduates. While the top firms continue to pay top dollar for the best graduates, those students who don't find jobs at

OrgTheory's Take on the Blogger's Transformation of Scholarship

I very much like this post by Fabio Rojas of OrgTheory on how bloggers have transformed the academic sphere:On presentations and blogging presentations:Presentations are opportunities for people to recieve the advice they need to improve their work, in a setting that carries little risk. This is consistent with the idea that science has a component of professionalization, which as Elizabeth

Hucksters in the Tower

Some time ago I asked what a moneylaw law review would look like. After thinking it about it, I wonder if law reviews as they currently exist would be part of the legal education. Take what we know. Publication decisions are made by third year law students who are suckers for institutional appeals. Many law professors -- especially the ones with privileged backgrounds -- are quick to respond

Several years ago, some lines from another law professor’s scholarship were discovered in a former colleagues own scholarship. My former colleague was not a popular guy and was not a household name. The person he had "taken" from was a well-know and popular scholar. Virtually anyone would have picked the person who was copied over my colleage as a member of his or her faculty. My friend was a

Though it pains me to admit it, the final score from Lexington, Kentucky, on Saturday night reflected football reality: Kentucky 40, Louisville 34. Kentucky was the superior football team in Commonwealth Stadium.
