in a single volume. This book does quite well at that - my chapter aside, I'm afraid. But the vast majority of edited books, I find, are simply articles that do not share enough in common to justify binding them together in a single volume, and selling the whole volume. Cherry picking is fine, but very costly given the price of books. In the vast majority of cases, I'd find it more efficient to post the papers online at a website hosted by the editors, and then put the papers...11 Jul Yale Creates the First American PhD in Law
...students will be able to publish articles before going on the job market in the third year, that will not be the case for a book. I’d add that the bias will be even greater, because American legal academia does not value books anywhere near as highly as legal academia in the rest of the world — a reflection, I think, of the ridiculous length of American law-review articles.

...this point, believes that an armed attack by an NSA cannot give rise to the right of self-defense. I certainly don't, and nothing I have ever written indicates otherwise.

Hostage Response... it doesn’t matter who wins or looses...09 Mar What Exactly Does Michael Kleinman Think We Should Do About Darfur?
...is not a man known for sticking to his word. Even more, the conflict was escalating and the humanitarian situation was deteriorating even before the ICC drama began in July, with no apparent opening for any kind of way out, messy or otherwise. This recent history explains why Kleinman’s response to Michelle’s question was a non-answer: she was asking him to explain his long-term solution for Darfur, not his short-term solution. And his response was… silence. That is an unacceptable position for someone who so savagely criticizes anyone who dares...11 Feb Syria, Intervention, and Recognition

JordanPaust Response... Jens: article 52 expressly recognizes the possibility of "regional action" and Art. 53 only applies if the S.C. gets their act together. The S.C. engages in "enforcement action." Ash Response... Syria has been isolated by most of the international community for so long, how does the west expect to know what the best direction is...08 Jan Microsoft Defends Censorship of Political Speech in China
...to Microsoft, of course, Microsoft alone is in possession of this information. It has been days and Microsoft has not offered this background information to the public. Tell us, then, (1) what Chinese authority contacted Microsoft about Mr. An Ti; (2) did they order or request the blog be shut down; (3) what legal justification did they provide; (4) what was Microsoft's response; (5) what was Microsoft legal counsel's response; (6) did Microsoft legal counsel agree with this assessment that a national law had been broken; (7) what notice did...
