Update: Paul Caron of the Tax Law Prof Blog has provided coverage of this list. For me, the honor of being named to this list closes a circle that began when the National Jurist quoted me in an article on change in legal education — like its glacial equivalent, slow to progress but inexorable and epochal in its eventual effect. I do hope to live long enough to see the triumph of reform over reaction.
