Description
Summary:Law professors usually write law review articles. These dense, heavily footnoted pieces are the currency of the trade in legal academia. It is therefore interesting to see what happens when law professors (as here) write books. The result in this case is an extremely valuable, engaging, and well-written contribution to the literature in this area of the law. In some ways, at over four hundred pages, it looks like a law review article that got too big for its britches: hundreds of footnotes in most of the chapters, an emphasis on intense and nuanced legal analysis, and a concentration on one discrete and focused area of the law. But it works. And oddly enough, as observed below, it may not be long enough.
