Useful, Relevant Scholarship

Following up on Chris Walker’s discussion of useful, relevant scholarship, I wanted to announce that Professor Ron Wright at Wake Forest Law School has taken over the direction of the Getting Scholarship into Court Project.  This project, the brainchild of Jack Chin, Margaret Colgate Love, and myself and supported by a wonderful group of Academic Advisors has partnered with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) to identify legal scholarship that should be read by lawyers and judges involved in actual criminal cases.  For several years now the Academic Advisors have selected the “Must Read” articles produced by legal scholars that would be of use to practitioners.  Summaries of these articles are published in “The Champion Magazine” and distributed to thousands of NACDL members every month.  Ron is now in charge of leading this project into the future.
