All Faculty Scholarship

I've been asked to comment upon Professor Jensen's essay, and I'm left with wearily wondering why's. Why did Jensen write this piece in the first place? Why was I asked to address it? Why did I so quickly say yes?

Do Pigs Need Wings? Introductory Thoughts On Law Reviews, Errors, And The Coase Theorem, Stephen Calkins Oct 1991

Do Pigs Need Wings? Introductory Thoughts On Law Reviews, Errors, And The Coase Theorem, Stephen Calkins

Law Faculty Research Publications

Ever since shepherd children stumbled upon the Dead Sea Scrolls, a small group of scholars controlled access to these writings. These scholars painstakingly edited and published so far about half the historic texts. Scholars not numbered among the select few complained of the arrogance implicit in limiting access to the original materials. Now the critics have their chance. In late 1991 the Biblical Archaeology Society published a "facsimile edition" of the previously unpublished scrolls. Professor Robert H. Eisenman, coeditor of the new edition, boasted that this was "'the last stage in breaking the monopoly' of authorized editors over the scroll …

Using a typology of legal scholars, Professor Martin explores the impact of new information technology on their work.

Getting Organized: Part I, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Good organization is fundamental to effective writing. No matter how brilliant your argument is, it may be misunderstood—or completely ignored—if its organization does not work. The argument becomes accessible to the reader through intelligent organization.

Bold Beginnings, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

However, legal writing should start with a conclusion. The audience of a legal writer consists of critics and skeptics, whether they are partners, opposing counsel or judges. They have neither the time nor patience to try to decipher a writer's conclusion.

Arguably one of the most important books in the field of law and social science, this research monograph began the modrn field of jury studies and deeply influenced contemporary understanding of the jury as an institution.

In this essay we assess the book from the vantage point of a quarter- century. First, we provide a historical backdrop by reviewing the activities of the University of Chicago's Jury Project that led to the publication of The American Jury …

Slide Rules, Telegrams And Legal Writing, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Visual and vocal clues are natural forms of human communication. In most instances, the electronic media, which provide instant visual and vocal information, are more efficient and compelling tools for communication than the written word. It is little wonder that we have become a "video" society.
