Law Teaching Series - Academic Writing That Matters

  • 12:10PM to 1:00PM
  • SLB Room 122

Academic writing can and has been important in moving public affairs decisively: Think of Kimberle Crenshaw’s “Race, Reform and Retrenchment,” Charles Reich’s “The New Property,” or Marc Galanter’s “Why the Haves Come Out on Top” to name a few.  Professors Robert Post '77, and Daniel Markovits '00 will discuss examples of articles that moved debate, work that is rigorous and deeply grounded in law and had impact beyond ivy covered libraries. And how, when and why legal academics can aspire to this sort of work.
