Reforming Legal Education: Law Schools At The Crossroads, Debra Curtis, David Moss 2012 Nova Southeastern University

Reforming Legal Education: Law Schools At The Crossroads, Debra Curtis, David Moss

In today's volatile law school environment, curriculum reform has emerged as a significant focus.

Spandrel Or Frankenstein's Monster? The Vices And Virtues Of Retrofitting In American Law, Michael C. Dorf 2012 Cornell Law School

Spandrel Or Frankenstein's Monster? The Vices And Virtues Of Retrofitting In American Law, Michael C. Dorf

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Hill, a majority of the Court proclaimed that the ESA was intended "to halt and reverse the trend toward species extinction, whatever the cost" and backed up those and other bold words by preventing a nearly completed federal dam from impounding its reservoir because doing so would eliminate the only known (at the time) habitat of a small fish, the now infamous snail darter. To this day, Hill remains actively discussed …
