I'm delighted that Steven Lubet of Northwestern University's law school will be sitting with us for a spell. Cribbing now from his website:
Steven Lubet is the Williams Memorial Professor of Law. As Director of the Law School's award winning Bartlit Center on Trial Advocacy, he teaches courses on Legal Ethics, Trial Advocacy, Lawyer Memoirs, and Narrative Structures. The author of fifteen books and over 100 articles on legal ethics, judicial ethics, and litigation, he has also published widely in the areas of legal history, international criminal law, dispute resolution, and legal education.
Though my students all know Lubet through his Modern Trial Advocacy books, I know his work on legal history and trials much better. He is the author of a number of important works in legal history, including Fugitive Justice: Runaways, Rescuers, and Slavery on Trial, John Brown's Spy, and Murder in Tombstone among many other books and articles.
Welcome, Steven. Dan and I are pushing a chair into the lounge for you now. I'm very much looking forward to your posts -- I particularly hope you talk a lot about your recent work on legal history.
