My two-part article is now out in Law and Humanities! This project has been with me for a long time, and seeing it take shape across two installments feels especially meaningful. Very grateful to Law and Humanities for the space and support!

One for the legal academics. If you were to choose one article that has been a continuing source of inspiration in your academic work, changed the way you think, or simply made you go “Wow”, what would that be? Post pic and citation, and repost, perhaps? Mine is this (95 Yale L.J. 1601 1985-1986)
