"the nightmare of citation"
I smiled throughout my reading of "The End Matter" by Louis Menand, published last fall in The New Yorker. Citation has played an oddly large role in my life thus far, and after the last year (which involved several Law Review citation checking assignments and preparation of the draft of my comment), some of Professor Menand's observations elicited both chuckles and moans. If you want a sneak peek at the thoughts that occupy far too much of my time...read the piece.
And if you're really interested...I've also purchased the paperback edition of The Footnote: A Curious History by Anthony Grafton. Perhaps I'm a glutton for punishment.
Review sessions for both Wills & Trusts and Admin Law are today, so having gotten a bit of blogging out of my system I'm going to put myself together and head toward campus. More musings on citation will have to wait...
