| Abstract | Why do law professors continue to produce scholarship even after achieving tenure? This essay, presented as part of a AALS panel discussing "Why We Write?", considers some common and less common responses, and suggests that for at least a few professors, legal scholarship can serve as a way of resisting the overbearing dominance of the "scientific" worldview evident in so much modern thought in favor of a perspective more attentive to the value of persons. |
