A history lesson: "law porn," Trotsky, and ... Rapoport?

By Nancy Rapoport

1. We know that, during the USNWR rankings season, law schools send out ludicrous amounts of PR material with an eye toward influencing the voting of four (yes, 4) people at each law school on the "academic reputation" survey. That material often goes by the catchall phrase "law porn."

2. We know that Stalin "rubbed out" people that he didn't like, and that the "rubbing out" even included erasing Trotsky (and others) from photographs. (See here.)

3. I just received this in the mail today.

4. I arrived at the Boyd School of Law in the summer of 2007. Y'all do the math.

The good news is that we can count all of my 2004-2007 scholarship under Boyd School of Law's list now, without any regrets. Invisible former faculty members of the world, unite?
