Social Science Research Network

Matt Bodie at PrawfsBlog has a wonderful post on SSRN, which is playing such a vital role in distributing developing scholarship in the 21st Century. Their motto is, "Tomorrow’s Research Today." LINK

One of the most important developments in legal academia in the last ten years has been the rise of working paper repositiories. Social Science Research Network (SSRN) has been at the forefront of this movement, championing the easy and free accessibility of working drafts for scholars around the globe. SSRN has changed the debate on a number of issues, from measures of scholarly productivity to the quality of working drafts that become publicly accessible. I recently had a chance to catch up on a number of these issues with Gregory J. Gordon, President and CEO of SSRN.

The StandDown Texas Project

The StandDown Texas Project was organized in 2000 to advocate a moratorium on executions and a state-sponsored review of Texas' application of the death penalty. To stand down is to go off duty temporarily, especially to review safety procedures.
