I read an article about a recent roundtable held at Cardozo Law School, where federal judges and law professors discussed the vertiginous drop over the last few decades of citations to law review articles in published federal court decisions. This quote really floated my boat:
Even when courts do cite law review articles, Judge Robert D. Sack said at Cardozo, their motives are not always pure. "Judges use them like drunks use lampposts," Judge Sack said, "more for support than for illumination."
Nice one, Sack.
