Peer review is, believe me, imperfect.

But legal academia is distinctly—and unacceptably—vulnerable to crackpottery bc the editors who decide what counts as good scholarship are … 2Ls and 3Ls.

Most article acceptances have zero-point-zero faculty involvement. None.
So their strategy now is to create the illusion of some genuine controversy, which doesn’t exist. What exist are a tiny handful of obscure journal articles by D-tier academic crackpots having a little mutual admiration society for the legal equivalent of flat earth theory.
An entire "literature?"

LOL.
