Top Ten Spookiest Law Reviews

Posted on Posted in Library News and Events Tagged with

It’s Halloween! Which means it’s time for the fourth installment of spookiest law reviews. We started this tradition back in 2008, and did revisions in 2011 and 2013. So we’re about due for a research update.

As always, we’ve combed the legal literature, collecting all that’s scary, spooky, or spine tingling to emerge from the law school and bar journal presses. You never know what zombies, ghosts, or monsters might turn up.

In the spirit of Halloween fun, we present the top ten spookiest law review and journal articles from fall 2013 to the present, selected by title alone —
