[IntLawProfessors] CITING HITLER?

[Mary Durfee]

Bill,

I think I would prefer you did not use it in the textbook. I think I'd feel
stuck with having to spend time on it that I really don't have in order to
use it thoughtfully.  I have undergrads for just 14 weeks.  Trust me, with
your book they get to these questions on their own by doing the work and
seeing the discrepancies between legal rules, legal decisions, legal
aspirations, and other forms of reality.

That said, I think it would work fine as a teaching strategy on the website
you have for the professors.  Then you could have the quote, more context,
and perhaps more on how to use it.

I just read a quite amazing book: Edmund De Waal, The Hare with Amber
Eyes.  Check out pp. 237-289 in the Vintage paperback. It offers quite a
view of "legalistic" forms of injustice just before and certainly after the
Austrian Anschluss.  I was, upon reading it, surprised at the sheer speed
of what happened.
