Two Views On The Nationwide Injunction, Jack M. Beermann Aug 2018

Two Views On The Nationwide Injunction, Jack M. Beermann

Shorter Faculty Works

I feel a bit like Gilligan in one of my favorite episodes of Gilligan’s island. The Professor and the Skipper are having an argument over some issue vital to the castaway’s prospects of being rescued from the island.

Unico e inimitabile, era brillante e alternativo, una forza anti-sistema all’interno di un ateneo ricco di menti acute ma anche di convolute gerarchie. Dall’Università di Chicago – sede del suo LL.M. nel 1976 – aveva importato non solo l’analisi economica del diritto, ma anche improbabili magliette a strisce, un forte spirito di iniziativa, e un’attitudine radicalmente antiformalista nel diritto come nella vita.
