"Law's Quandary"

Mike S. referenced the "movable feast" that has been the MOJ-and-friends road show in recent days, at St. John's and now at Baylor.  My deep regret about missing both of these events, and the wonderful fellowship and learning that, it appears, was enjoyed by all, was lessened a bit by the roundtable conference yesterday at Notre Dame that was my reason for missing the feast-events.  The Notre Dame Law School hosted a dozen or so guests, from all over the country, for a three-session examination of Steve Smith's new book, "Law's Quandary."  If you have not read the book, you really should; as Michael P. wrote, a while back, it "sings."  We had provocative and helpful discussion papers from Larry Solum, Joe Vining, and Brian Bix, and some very stimulating conversations. 

Here, by the way, is Justice Scalia's review -- a friendly critique, I'd say -- of Smith's book, from First Things.
