How Justice Scalia’s Writing Style Affected American Jurisprudence
Reflections on the powerful and distinctive writing style of Justice Antonin Scalia.
Non-Sequiturs: 02.18.16
* When Virginia Law Weekly and the Virginia Law Review played their annual football game in 1970, then-Professor Antonin Scalia served as the referee.
