Legal Commentary

Over at the Madisonian Moblog about law schools as institutions, Ann Bartow suggests that we can improve law reviews and law schools simultaneously by having a school's journal only publish the works of its own faculty. There are some good comments there and Al Brophy adds to her thoughts.

My contribution was the idea that we already have the germ of this: Many schools have their own paper series on SSRN, which contain only the works of that faculty. Obviously, this is not entirely the same as a fully completed and edited article in a published journal. But it is a start in the same general direction.

What do people think of Ann's idea?
