I really like JOTWELL and think it represents the best of our profession.
But we need a website just for beef. A place where academics do nothing but hold up bad work to be mocked and ridiculed. I would really love to read more Family Law or Contracts professors going at it. JOTWEHL? JOTWEDLL?
I mean, Evan. Have you considered whether a foreign flag was displayed in the hospital room? Have you? You just donβt know what you donβt know.

The only reason why this argument doesnβt make sense to Ilan is because heβsβ againβ shown himself to be wholly ignorant of basic history.
Medieval warfare in England was much more concerned with βQuelle surprise! We have taken your fort!β than some kind of roving foreign occupation of the shires.
When, O Catiline, do you mean to
cease abusing our patience? How
long is that madness of yours still to
mock us? When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now?

Law professors distorting history for public consumption because they either donβt know it or have a political objective arenβt entitled to good faith, nor should we ignore it.

Itβs irritating to see some law professors proclaim colleagues are doing work in good faith when they are patently full of hot air and devoid of expertise.
