The Marketplace of Ideas

Ackerman, Bruce
Abstract
Professor Posner's sketch has, I am sure, captured a widely shared view of the legal academy. In the foreground, behold a milling herd of well-groomed doctrinal analysts, curiously in decline. In the background, glimpse a gathering horde of slovenly social scientists and humanists practicing a bewildering variety of "law and . . ."s, surprisingly on the rise.
