The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues
Abstract
I am very pleased to be afforded the opportunity to respond to the edited and revised versions of the six papers that were discussed at the Rutgers Symposium in honor of my recent book. Each of these six papers raise excellent points that can serve as the springboard for deeper exploration of some of the salient issues raised in my book, and it is my aim in this response to take advantage of that opportunity. I am quite appreciative for the spur to intellectual progress that these papers and this symposium represents. By-and-large scholarship is a solitary enterprise but occasions such as the present also add a very welcome social dimension to this otherwise solo activity, and for that too I am grateful. My sincere thanks go to each of the six symposiasts for the time, care, and insight that they brought to their comments on my book.
One always has a choice about organizing responses such as the present one, either by topical subject matter or by author. Because each of my commentators raise significantly different points, I have chosen the latter mode of organization in what follows. I also make no attempt here to order the papers in any topical way; rather, I discuss each of the six papers in the order in which I received their final versions from the authors.
