Legal Commentary

From all of us at Prawfs, I wanted to wish all our readers and contributors a bountiful and blessed Thanksgiving Day.

I wanted to revive also a tradition that we let lapse a few years ago.  Given the spirit of the day, we should be in the business of praise and thanks to our colleagues. Let me invite readers to participate in what I hope will be a fun activity. I'd like you to select a law review article or essay or review (other than your own of course) that was published between last Thanksgiving and this one, and explain why you think that publication is outstanding. Did it change the way you thought about a particular subject? Did it reveal information that we didn't know before that now helps us understand law and society better? Just give a few sentences to describe what you think its contribution is. It can be from any field so long as it was published in a law review, whether student-edited or peer-reviewed. With some luck, we'll remember to do this next Thanksgiving, and we'll start a new tradition...
