Legislation Scholarship and Pedagogy in the Post-Legal Process Era

Eskridge, William
Frickey, Philip
Abstract
Legal academe's approach to the systematic study of "legislation" resembles Congress' attitude toward balancing the federal budget: everyone agrees that it is a good thing, but laments that it is not done. A growing body of opinion bemoans legislation's "second class" status as an academic discipline and advocates substantially enhanced scholarly interest in the subject. We join this collective lament and endorse a more systematic and creative approach to teaching and writing about legislation.
