Posted by Eugene Volokh: Looking for First-Rate Student Notes: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_05_31-2009_06_06.shtml#1243797789
For the fourth edition of my Academic Legal Writing book, I�d like to include an entire student-written article -� with comments (in the margins or in between paragraphs) on my part -� to use as a good example for readers. To be optimal, the article should be (1) very well-written, (2) very well-reasoned, (3) 40 law review pages or shorter (shorter would be better), (4) preferably on a topic that readers would find interesting, and (5) written when the author was still a student (though it need not have been denominated a student Note or Comment). I would also of course ask the author and (if necessary) the journal for permission to reprint and comment on the piece, and some of my comments will likely be a bit critical. But my goal is to find an article that�s so good that the criticisms will be very few, and most of the comments will be an explanation of why a particular paragraph or argument works well, not of why it doesn�t. Can any of you recommend such an article that you have objectively reviewed, and that you think is excellent? Many thanks.
