– So, from Volokh, I see this announcement of the Law & Aesthetics fiction contest. For those skeptical about the intellectual laugh riot that is the Social Change Workshop, I remember having a somewhat drunken conversation about just this idea with what must surely be one of the Boalt organizers. And now it’s a reality! Don’t you want to come?!

Notes for law and aesthetics….

- Significant formalism
- Could Baumgarten and Blackstone have met? Shared a mistress?
- The Bloomsbury judicial intuitionists
- Legal neutrality and disinterested contemplation
- Penumbras and emanations
- Weimar School of interpretive absurdism
- Cruel, unusual, and sublime punishment
