Returning to the subject of my post of a few weeks back, "Happy Yet?" (which is about Nancy Levit and Douglas Linder's The Happy Lawyer)….
Reading the ads in NYROB this afternoon I see something I've never seen before — a law prof blog cited as the source of a review! The OUP ad, which features David Strauss' Living Constitution and Debra Satz' Why Should Things Not be For Sale, also features The Happy Lawyer and this marvelous quotation from Naomi Cahn's post over at concurring opinions back in June:
A book that anyone who is–or was–or wants to be–a lawyer (or anyone who knows a lawyer) should read.
This is yet another milestone, I think, in the mainstreaming of law prof blogs. And perhaps an important one, given how much NYROB is the arbiter of elite, academic culture.
