Just out in the DC-based Daily Caller: Jamie Weinstein interviews me about my work and in particular my new book Schools for Misrule. I greatly enjoyed the interview, which I think turned out as one of the best I’ve done in quite a while. Some points that come up:
- George Mason University School of Law’s eccentric, in fact “almost Martian” hiring strategy (and I mean that last phrase in a nice way);
- My predictions re: the return of ROTC and military recruiting to previously resistant law school campuses (already, it seems, borne out).
- I recommend various books by Benjamin Barton, Steven Teles, Edward Banfield, Jane Jacobs and others;
- The non-monetary costs of an overlawyered society;
- The common academic (and philanthropic, too) background of sectors of litigation as diverse as school finance, Indian land claims, and environmental impact review;
- The “international community” in rights law as “a slightly globalized variant of the voice of New York Times editorials.”
The interview seems to be a hit with readers; as of a few hours ago it was listed as the most-emailed item on the site. Read the whole thing here (& FrumForum).
