WHEN LAW PROFESSORS DISAGREE: “Let’s assume that Shugerman is correct, and that Prakash is wrong. What does Shugerman have in mind by way of ‘accountability’ where Prakash remains unmoved and unwilling to voluntarily concede error? What would Shugerman have third parties do? Should third parties convene a tribunal or board of inquiry? Who would be the judges? Would the finders-of-fact be generalists off the street or specialist academics, and if so, in what field(s)?”

If law professors are now to be punished for obvious errors of analysis, well . . . . And it turns out that Professor Shugerman is not above reproach here.
