The book has a simple purpose: to outline the future of research in (broadly understood) comparative law.

Contributors are Geoffrey Samuel, Fernanda Pirie, Jen Hendry, Michael Palmer Jan Engberg, Ralf Michaels & Lena Salaymeh, Thomas Duve, Catalina Goanta, Liu Qiao, and yours truly. #comparativelaw #legaltheory #legalhistory #legalscholarship

We all know that Santa has the List. But do we know if the List has footnotes? Obviously all sane persons know that there are no endnotes. But how about footnotes? #law #legalscholarship #lawprofs

@MarshaGriggs OK, full disclosure: I LOVE #Zotero for managing works cited for projects and for doing #citations in #APA and #MLA format. Frankly, if we all just used one of these formats (plus pincite in each case) for #LegalScholarship, the world would be a better place. When I use Zotero, I use it just to generate a first draft of a Bluebook citation, which I then edit. 1/2

Until law reviews catch up to the rest of the academic world, the core of legal thought will remain housed in university-branded Substacks with less editorial oversight.

It's soon 5 years ago when I submitted a chapter for a research handbook and 2.5 years when I submitted the revised version. Easy does it, eh? #legalscholarship #academicwriting #lawprofs

Geoffrey Samuel on legal doctrine:

"in terms of establishing general truths about society or coming up with new ideas, then doctrinal legal scholarship is pretty worthless"
