Volokh in Print

I just spent an hour giving Volokh's Academic Legal Writing a first read, and it was pretty helpful. I think it'd be a bigger resource if I was closer to beginning to write (I'm still in the primordial soup of picking a topic), and if I were writing a more prescriptive paper. My seminar this fall is on legal history, and I'll most likely turn that into my law review note. In addition to being a topic I find fascinating (my conlaw professor is a constitutional historian), it is also one of UVA's strongest fields, and I intend to take advantage of that. The upshot is that my paper will likely lean rather strongly toward the descriptive side, which Volokh doesn't spend quite as much time talking about.
