Campos

I didn't have Campos last year, but heard that it was essential to read his books b/c it gives you an insight into how he thinks. Is this still true for his other classes (Legislation)?

On a related note, Campos just wrote an article published in The New Republic trashing the response to Katrina. Pretty interesting read.

The Obesity Myth isn't really handy for understanding the direction of Property with Campos; Jurismania is key, however. That book actually deals with several cases in the Property text. What you need to know about Campos was what he stated today as the thesis of the class: Basically, there are lots of different ways we can interpret the law, and they don't match up but we pretend they do and continue to go about this crazy game. What he'll get into later, I'm sure, is the chaos that results. That's my take, anyway.

At least one person in property last year read "Jurismania" and felt that they were better prepared for the tests. This is just hearsay so you'll have to assign relevance to your situation, and be sure that you don't misuse the evidence. (Too much Mueller)

Thanks.

Nope, plain old utterance used to prove the truth of the matter asserted.

how bout the unspoken internet rule that nothing on a blog has the indicia of reliability? postings here by "professor campos," which don't even roughly approximate his writing style, are proof enough of that.

The myth of "professor campos" posting on this blog was yet again confirmed when I arrived home and saw the date stamp on his post. I know for a fact that the real PC was freeloading with the rest of us off of the SFTP/Blackmun at around 7, and that he was in no condition to use a keyboard when he left.

Anyone else see the dude with the sweet handlebar mustache at the SFTP/Blackmun reception? It was something to behold.
