: PrawfsJunior-faculty juggernaut

In Dan Patrick's immortal phrase, you can't stop the Brooklyn Law School VAPs; you can only hope to contain them. And if one of them is entering a writing competition, everyone else had better look out. (Or as Keith Olbermann would say, they will beat you like a rented goalie!)
First Deborah Widiss won the AALS Scholarly Papers contest with her forthcoming article in Notre Dame Law Review about judicial interpretation of statutes that override prior judicial decisions.
And now Ben Trachtenberg has won the ABA's Ross Essay Contest with this essay about the costs of the criminal justice system's overuse of incerceration.
Brooklyn's VAPs are en fuego!
(I watched a LOT of SportsCenter in the '90s.)
