               Yabut’s Advice to the Law Lorn


 









                         March 16, 2005

Dear Prof. Yabut:

 

I know you’re retired and would rather be napping, but I really need advice.

Evan Schaeffer has been very busy lately (and he seems to specialize

in advising young associates who have very little common sense), so I

hope you’ll help a gender-neutral person in distress.

 

I’m a law student at UCLA and my problem involves a professor who is really

a big shot on campus and in the blogosphere, Eugene Volokh.  I’m a very big

fan of his, and plan to take all of his courses, so I need help being diplomatic.

You see, Prof. V. made a big mistake at his weblog, the Volokh Conspiracy,

two days ago, and I want to help him correct it, without antagonizing him. On

the other hand, I don’t want to be anonymous, since I’d like to get credit for my

knowledge, research and initiative.

 

The mistake showed up in the following posting (March 14, 2005):

  3. Thank you, Michael!   Of course, that’s contingent on just which “hillary” your adjective refers to.  I hope it’s the explorer from New Zealand and not the politician from New York -via Arkansas – via Illinois.   That’s us: king of the lawyer advice mountain.
