As I was looking to see if Mark Ascher's review of Lawrence Friedman's Dead Hands is up on the net yet (it isn't), I saw that the Texas Law Review is starting an on-line companion, Dicta, which will review books. This is most exciting. Thank you Sandy Levinson!
I'm going to be interested in seeing how other reviews respond and also whether there is a return of the lengthy essay review, which seems to have gone out of fashion of late. The first two reviews up on the TLR's website are rather short -- John Parry's review of Kal Raustial's Does the Constitution Follow the Flag?: The Evolution of Territoriality in American Law and Guha Krishnamurthi's review of Eyal Zamir's andBarak Medina's Law, Economics, and Morality are each about four pages long. I'm intuiting that perhaps the lengthy reviews will continue to appear in the print version of the TLR and that shorter reviews will appear on-line. I think that's a very sensible division.
I've written a little bit about the changing nature of the Michigan Law Review's annual book review issue a couple of times.
