Law School Deans Defend Judicial Independence
In a round-up of reaction to the letter by law school deans condemning "threats of retaliation against federal judges by members of Congress and others":
- Prof. Leiter says shame on the three Deans who didn't sign;
- Prof. Kerr asks how effective this will be anyway, since most critics of the judiciary aren't exactly unused to criticism from the signatories;
- and Prof. Ribstein questions the wisdom of "a stampeding herd of deans signing letters."
I'm going to have to go with the last two, which are quite worth reading.

I'm totally diggin' on this Exam Stress Advisory thing you've got going. I have one a week from today...my only one...so I don't know what to do with myself in the meantime.

It's not as novel as you think. Six years ago the Association of American Law Schools wrote a letter, signed by all deans, to MTV's TRL requesting the Backstreet Boys.
