Loving It To Pieces: Eu Law In Us Legal Academia, Revisited, Daniela Caruso
Faculty Scholarship
The Editors of the Special Issue have kindly invited me to update earlier reflections on the state of EU law in US legal academia. For a variety of reasons, it is important to me not to mislead the reader with the false promise of some kind of summa.
