The Public Trust And The Chicago Lakefront: Review Of Kearney & Merrill’S Lakefront: Public Trust And Private Rights In Chicago (Cornell U. Press, 2021), Michael C. Blumm
Michigan Journal of Environmental & Administrative Law
Joseph Kearney and Thomas Merrill’s brilliantly illustrated LAKEFRONT is sure to win American legal history awards for its riveting history of the machinations behind the preservation of the magnificent Chicago lakefront, now dominated by public spaces.

Reclaiming A Great Judge's Legacy, Frank M. Coffin
Reclaiming A Great Judge's Legacy, Frank M. Coffin
Maine Law Review
In the legal profession a deep sigh of relief is heard over the land. After roughly two decades of incubation, the long-awaited biography of the great judge has arrived, Learned Hand: The Man and the Judge, by Stanford Law Professor Gerald Gunther. The book, in my opinion, is well worth the wait. Nearly 700 pages, plus a hundred more for footnotes, it nevertheless represents a heroic condensation of some 100,000 different items on file at Harvard Law School, including no fewer than 50,000 items of correspondence, 1,000 district court opinions, and nearly 3,000 circuit court opinions. The inventory alone requires …
Confounding Ockham's Razor: Minilateralism And International Economic Regulation, Eric C. Chaffee
Confounding Ockham's Razor: Minilateralism And International Economic Regulation, Eric C. Chaffee
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
In Minilateralism: How Trade Alliances, Soft Law, and Financial Engineering Are Redefining Economic Statecraft, Professor Chris Brummer embraces the complexity of the global economic system and its regulation by exploring the emerging role and dominance of varying strands of economic collaboration and regulation that he collectively refers to as “minilateralism.” In describing the turn toward minilateralism, Brummer notes a number of key features of this new minilateral system, including a shift away from global cooperation to strategic alliances composed of the smallest group necessary to achieve a particular goal, a turn from formal treaties to informal non-binding accords and other …

Book Review: Zechariah Chafee, Jr., Defender Of Liberty And Law By Donald L. Smith, Lynne Wilson
Book Review: Zechariah Chafee, Jr., Defender Of Liberty And Law By Donald L. Smith, Lynne Wilson
Seattle University Law Review
This review's purpose is to fill the void in Professor Smith's book by proposing that the central problem with Chafee's free speech ideas, and perhaps one problem with the "clear and present danger" test itself, lies in Chafee's reliance on common law and equity balancing concepts, rather than political theory.
