	SSRN-The Strange Death of Academic Commercial Law by Larry Garvin
		In this essay, part of a symposium on commercial calamities to be published in the Ohio State Law Journal, I first see whether these signs of decline, generally acknowledged by academic commercial lawyers, are in fact present.

		But rescuing academic commercial law is important enough that some temporary inconvenience is a modest enough cost - at least, if we are willing to bear our share of responsibility for the well-being of the law.
