Outsider-Insiders: The Academy of the Closet

Eskridge, William N., Jr.
Abstract
Women and people of color teach in unprecedented and increasing numbers in American law schools. Fred Shapiro's survey demonstrates that these law teachers are publishing influential (much-cited) articles in the leading law reviews. Throughout this Symposium, the question is posed: Are these former outsiders now academic insiders? If that is too tough a question, consider this one: What outsider group is so marginalized that it is not only left out of analyses of outsider jurisprudence, but is so far out that it has been inside all along?
