Private Law Theory

ABSTRACT
This essay reflects upon that career and considers some larger intellectual issues about the vocation of law teaching. Part I reviews three of Professor Emerson’s cases which had an important impact on the law. Part II compares his participation in those cases with analogous public activities of contemporary law teachers. Finally, Part III tentatively explores the connection between the academic and the public roles of law professors.
