CONNtemplations: Do Law Reviews Matter?

You may have read Paul and Steve's discussions of CONNtemplations, the new online companion for the Connecticut Law Review.  The three of us each contributed essays for the launch, along with Al Brophy, John Doyle, and Ronen Perry.  The title of the inaugural edition is "Do Law Reviews Matter? ", and the commentary flows from a set of articles by Ronen Perry and Al Brophy on the law review's relationship to law schools and legal scholarship.  Some links for your reference:

• The CONNtemplations site
• Al Brophy, Mrs. Lincoln’s Lawyer’s Cat: The Future of Legal Scholarship
• Ronen Perry, De Jure (sic) Park
• John Doyle, The Business of Law Reviews
• Paul Horwitz, "Evaluate Me!": Conflicted Thoughts on Gatekeeping in Legal Scholarship’s New Age
• Steve Vladeck, The Law Reviews vs. the Courts: Two Thoughts From the Ivory Tower
• Matt Bodie, Thoughts on the New Era of Law Review Companion Sites

All of these essays are available in .html as well as .pdf form.  There are comment sections for each article -- I encourage you to comment over at CONNtemplations and start the dialogue.
