Weekly Round-Up for March 23rd

Some of the best and most interesting stories from the last week:

Emily Bazelon writes about the end of the Dharun Ravi/Tyler Clementi tragedy at Rutgers. 

Becky Supiano at the Chronicle of Higher Ed gives her take on the same case. 

At Salon, Amy Benfer reviews Jeannette Winterson's new book that touches on the social assumptions we make about male and female authors. 

At The Atlantic, a critique of Kenneth Arrow's famous critique of free-market healthcare. 

In Northern California, the Yurok tribe tries to maintain and rebuild it's own society (in a space created by our laws, but there's bound to be conflict, sadly).

Brian Palmer on neighborhood watches, crime rates and Trayvon Martin.

The New York Times on Trayvon Martin and the national response. 

More New York Times: "Stand Your Ground" and the Trayvon Martin killing. 

Salon on society, sexuality, and female power in Twilight and The Hunger Games, 

A lawsuit against law schools for inflating employment rates has been dismissed, reports the Chronicle of Higher Ed.

The Root argues that the Trayvon Martin tragedy ought to spur debate - and action - on stricter gun control.

About this Blog

Law All Over is a place to voice opinions about the fingerprints the law leaves, well, all over the place. I'm after the ways in which it shapes our lives outside of the formal institutions in which it is normally examined. Sure, occasionally I'll post - or have someone else post - about things that happen in courts or congress, but mostly I want us to talk about what happens when the law gets away from lawmakers, from lawyers, from judges, and from police officers, and gets dirty. Law is all over. Let's talk about it.
