Bite-Sized Scholarship
The Pocket Part, the The Yale Law Journal's companion website, features op-ed length summaries of articles from each issue of the Journal, critiques from experts, and comments from visitors to the site.
What is a "companion website"? The Pocket Part isn't a blog--the pieces that appear on it are carefully edited and reviewed. But it's not a recapitulation of the print Journal, either--the pieces are tailored specifically for this new forum. "The real thrust of doing this online thing was to make accessible legal scholarship for students and practitioners to be able to read, in the middle of a busy schedule," says Ian Bassin '06, one of the creators of The Pocket Part.
