Law & Society: Judges as Umpires, Umpires as Judges
For those of you attending Law and Society this weekend: On Thursday morning at 8:15, I will be doing a roundtable discussion called Judges as Umpires, Umpires as Judges: Rethinking the Metaphor. We will explore the silly judge-as-umpire metaphor, instant replay, the nature of judging and sports officiating, and other links between judging and sports. The panel includes moderator Mark Graber (Maryland), Mitchell Berman (Texas), Chad Oldfather (Marquette, former Guest Prawf), Aaron Zelinksy (recent Yale grad and likely future prawf), and me.
It should be a great discussion and I hope any early-risers will stop by. I hope to post the audio here next week.
Plus, don't forget Happy Hour on Thursday evening. And on Friday afternoon I can be found at Wrigley Field for the first time since 2001--far too long.

While I'm thrilled to see further recognition for my classmate's YLJ Online piece on the umpire metaphor, I feel compelled to point out that his last name is actually spelled Zelinsky.
