Legal Commentary

A couple weeks ago, our guest blogger extraordinaire, Eric E. Johnson, put up a helpful post entitled "Things You Oughta Know if You Teach Intellectual Property." Eric's post inspired my former con law study partner and now one of our young prawfy readers to ask, hey, there oughta be a whole freakin' series of these written by folks in different fields. So, with that smart idea in mind, I'm taking names of volunteers who would like to write the field specific post that does for your field what what Eric did for IP, something along the lines of: "hey, if you're new to the teaching of [criminal procedure], you should know about the following resources, conferences, list-servs, casebook overviews, etc." Feel free to indicate which one you'd like to do in the comments or email me privately but if you email me b/c you'd prefer to do it anonymously, please also list the course in the comments (anonymously) so we don't get duplicates.

By the way, this is a bit different than our "Research Canons" archive of a few years ago, but that's also a resource new and old prawfs might want to check out. If you're wondering what kinds of topics we could run, see below the list of the research canons and feel free to volunteer in the comments which one you'll do the "teaching" equivalent of.
