Yale Law School and the Sixties: Revolt and Reverberations, by Laura Kalman.
Though Yale law students during the sixties often spoke the language of communitarian subjectivism, most of them were reformers, rather than revolutionaries—radical only in the eyes of their professors.
The contours of the modern law school that began to appear in the late 1970s may have reflected a desire to avoid the kind of conflict that had earlier beset the institution; they certainly indicated a desire to rebuild sixties-style liberalism after its local and national vicissitudes.

This explains why, in a school where the party line requires that everyone be relaxed, the law journal admission test has always made students nervous.
The issue of Black exclusion from the Law Journal has always represented a simmering controversy at YLS, but the release of the 1995 numbers during my first year at law school brought student agitation to a full boil.
Black Law Journal applicants, it was argued, approached the writing component of the law journal test with a special "Black" style which was unfairly marked down by the test administrators.

Contract law has neither a complete descriptive theory, explaining what the law is, nor a complete normative theory, explaining what the law should be.
Even a theory of contract law that focuses only on the enforcement of bargains must still consider the entire continuum from standard form contracts between firms and consumers to commercial contracts between business firms.

 Amazon.com: Yale Law School and the Sixties: Revolt and Reverberations (Studies in Legal History): Books: Laura Kalman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The development of the modern Yale Law School is deeply intertwined with the story of a group of students in the 1960s who worked to unlock democratic visions of law and social change that they associated with Yale's past and with the social climate in which they lived.
Senior law professors decided against retaining six junior scholars who had witnessed their conflict with the students in the early 1970s, shifted the school's academic focus from sociology to economics, and steered clear of critical legal studies.
Kalman examines the crucial period of 1967-1970 at Yale Law School, when the mainstream liberal faculty was challenged by left-liberal students who aimed to unlock the democratic visions of law and social change they associated with Yale's legal realists of the 1930s.

Or, in the words of Thomas Sowell, "if you send a second-quintile student who is fl to a first-quintile school, he will see racism everywhere; if you send him to a second-quintile school, things will be fine." As Professor Rothman's study shows, right now things are not fine.

I was walking out of the Law School building a little before five o'clock in the afternoon with Jim Ryan to get some coffee when we both heard a big explosion from the Yale Law School buliding.
I was in the law school at the time, but I didn't hear anything as I wasn't that close to the auditorium; the alarms didn't even go off where I was, so I didn't leave until my friend saw people across the street waving at us to get out.
Thank goodness the law school was pretty empty: if this had occurred at some earlier point (e.g., during the teaching awards ceremony in the alumni reading room a few weeks earlier), a lot more people would have been hurt.

Other histories can be mundane and so narrowly focused upon the school itself that they are of little general interest.
