Abstract

In the Articles that follow, a group of extraordinarily successful legal scholars set out their thoughts on the enterprise of legal scholarship. Their conceptions of that enterprise vary widely. The range of their views, and of course, the very idea of a set of articles on why we write articles, suggests the uncertainty that affects the field. At the same time, most of the authors are reasonably optimistic about the value of scholarship about the law.
