Legal Research And The World Of Thinkable Thoughts, Robert C. Berring Jul 2000

Legal Research And The World Of Thinkable Thoughts, Robert C. Berring

The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process

It is difficult to properly describe technology’s impact on legal information. The impact created a generational gap between those who learned their research skills before the change and current students.

Technological Developments In Legal Research, Lynn Foster, Bruce Kennedy

The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process

Technology has created new types of legal research and means of access to the law. Specific to appellate practice, technology has changed how decisions are published and the nature of legal research. Technology has even created a debate on who owns the different forms of case law.


“Gay Rights” For “Gay Whites”?: Race, Sexual Identity, And Equal Protection Discourse, Darren Lenard Hutchinson Jul 2000

“Gay Rights” For “Gay Whites”?: Race, Sexual Identity, And Equal Protection Discourse, Darren Lenard Hutchinson

UF Law Faculty Publications

While the resolution of the problem of gay and lesbian inequality will ultimately turn on a host of social, legal, political, and ideological variables, this Article argues that the success or failure of efforts to achieve legal equality for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered individuals will depend in large part on how scholars and activists in this field address questions of racial identity and racial subjugation. Commonly, these scholars and activists currently discuss race by use of analogies between “racial discrimination” and “sexual orientation discrimination,” or between “people of color” and “gays and lesbians.” On one level, the “comparative approach” …

Vern Countryman And The Path Of Progressive (And Populist) Bankruptcy Scholarship, David A. Skeel Jr.

All Faculty Scholarship

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Vern Countryman was the leading progressive bankruptcy scholar - and in fact the leading bankruptcy scholar of any perspective.

In addition to Countryman himself, the article focuses on William Douglas, who was Countryman's predecessor and mentor, as well as being the leading bankruptcy scholar of the New Deal. Among Countryman's successors, the article focuses on the work of Elizabeth Warren, Countryman's successor at Harvard Law School and the nation's leading …

From The Archives (Such As They Are), Barbara Aronstein Black

Faculty Scholarship

Somewhere, in the mythic past of Langdell and Stone, a few good men decided to create a journal with unpaid student laborers in order to free their time and allow professors to concentrate on outside consulting without having to support their arguments or check their cites. This tradition continues to this day.
—Columbia Law Review Banquet Issue, 1991

I'm quite fond of that account of the origins of law reviews, but, alas, the truth is less colorful. Harvard, as we know, was first-in, truly, the Langdellian past – and there, as everywhere to follow, the Review was the result of …
