It may be the NYT but the article is definitely worth the click-thru, especially for non-lawyers and those not familiar with the infield fly rule. The law review note written by Mr. Stevens seems to have taken on a unique life of its own within the world of law.

RIP, Mr. Stevens, your humor, insight, and analytical mind will be missed.

I suppose what Stevens did for Common Law, John T. Noonan did for canon law with “Gratian slept here: the changing identity of the father of the systematic study of canon law,” Traditio 35 (1979): 145-172.

Somehow this eluded me. I’ll have to read it now. RIP. He was way too young.
