“Legal scholarship has begun to consider”. I don’t see how anyone can put the two words together. “Legal” and “scholarship” do not exist in the USA anymore. The articles about “legal scholars” being paid to write papers to abstracts proves that point.
Please tell us your source of funds and stop pretending you are doing scholarship.
If this is scholarship and not advocacy, then who do we file a complaint with for unethical conduct on the part of the author?
It’s worse than pure advocacy.
It’s advocacy under the cloak of “objective knowledge” by those who not only should know better, but are the ones that turn around and teach burgeoning lawyers.
