Dear friends—

When I first joined the legal academy more than 25 years ago, figuring out where and how to publish one’s scholarship was largely a choice among three alternatives. Something the length of a book became a book. Most significant pieces became articles. Short pieces that were not especially complex or, alas, completely thought through became book reviews. Sure, you could make the decision to go with a student-run law review or one of the very few peer-reviewed journals, but that was the extent of the variety that was out there. Today, our faculty shares their ideas in so many venues that it sometimes makes my head spin. On any given day I might read something by faculty members in the traditional venues—a book or a law review article. Just as easily I could see their names and ideas in op-eds, blog posts, weekly online columns, or web-only academic journals. I might listen to my colleagues in podcasts or watch them in videos. Even their traditional journal articles are now published in a significantly wider variety of legal and nonlegal journals than ever before. All of this allows our faculty to do what they do best—formulate and share ideas— better and faster and farther than they ever have before. In the pages of this issue of the Record, you’ll read about how our faculty decide how best to get their ideas out into the world and how lucky they feel to be working at a time when they can directly connect with and get feedback from readers—nearly in real time. You’ll follow along with one of our professors as he writes his first book (after dozens of articles), and I do hope that you’ll take the time to read the book when it is published in a few months. You’ll also get to see how our faculty deal with getting their works read in other parts of our ever-shrinking world and how they work to get faithful translations of their work into languages they can’t themselves read. I always enjoy using the Record to help you better get to know our faculty, and so in this issue you’ll also get a taste of the myriad pieces of scholarship that have inspired them along the way in their impressive careers. And because (despite public opinion) we’re not all-work-and-no-play around here, this issue includes some of our faculty and staff talking about what they read for fun. I was particularly interested to see who reads on e-readers these days and who clings to their printed books! You’ve heard, probably for your entire association with the Law School, about how prolific our faculty is, and that is as true now as it ever was. (Just take a look at the annual publication list on page 46!) But what matters to me more is that the quality of their scholarship exceeds even its quantity. Our faculty continue to innovate in every part of the legal academy and, increasingly, in other parts of the academy as well. I hope you’ll look at that list and pick out a few pieces to read over the next few months—perhaps one by a faculty member who came to the Law School after you left our physical halls. There is no better way to see just how extraordinary this faculty is than by reading what they have to say.

Sincerely,

Michael H. Schill

The Paperwork Paradigm In his new book, More than You Wanted to Know: The Failure of Mandated Disclosure, Ben-Shahar and coauthor By Robin I. Mordfin Carl E. Schneider of the University of Michigan Law These days, shopping comes with a lot of paperwork. For School argue that mandated disclosure is a panacea the decades we have expected to receive piles of documents government is using to solve every consumer problem. Each when purchasing a house or even a car, but today even year, more and more regulations are passed that require small buys such as phones and computers are accompanied businesses—including healthcare providers, mortgage by reams of paper filled with tiny print. Verizon iPhone brokers, phone companies, and automobile dealerships— users receive a 5,000- to provide consumers word agreement with with more and more their new gadgets, information in the hope along with another that this will allow them 2,000-word license to make good decisions on agreement from Apple. their own. But mandated These long-winded disclosure does not work, disclosures are supposed and because it is too often to give shoppers all the applied by lawmakers as information they need the only potential response, to make an informed no better protections decision about whether for consumers are being or not to go through developed. with their purchase and “Sometimes a hard about whether their Professor Omri Ben-Shahar solution is the right rights or needs will be solution.

This portion of the act was intended to nudge borrowers to pay off more of their loans more quickly. The second portion of the bill enacted a reform with more bite: it established hard-line prohibitions against different kinds of interest-rate increases and against exorbitant

The CARD Act capped the fees and controlled costs and prices. “This is something we don’t do very often in America, because we are not usually interested in regulating prices,” Ben-Shahar said. “But research by economists and by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau shows that it worked. It has been four, five years since the act was passed, and published estimates show that there has been an enormous annual decrease, of roughly $20 billion in fees, that are paid by low- and middle-income borrowers. This is a huge redistribution away from creditors that were making profits that are relatively high, toward poor people.” And what about the disclosure element of the CARD act? Like other disclosures, it has had a miniscule effect. It is now estimated that it prompted borrowers to pay early only in a small number cases, aggregately saving them about $70 million per year, “probably less than the cost of printing all these disclosures and mailing them to people,” said Ben-Shahar. “This is an example of what the government can do Ben-Shahar with the iTunes terms and conditions agreement taped other than disclosure.

Dear University of Chicago Alumni, It is my distinct pleasure to serve as your new Associate Dean for External Affairs. I returned last May to the school where I started my career in higher education under the deanships of Geof Stone and Douglas Baird. In the intervening years, as Assistant Dean first at Northwestern Law and most recently for six years at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, I have deepened my knowledge of legal education and the many essential ways in which alumni strengthen their schools by sharing their career expertise, peer networks, volunteer leadership, and financial support. It has been a thrill to see that our Chicago Law intellectual environment is as stimulating as ever, the academic offerings enriched and expanded, and our students achieving in astounding measure. More than 55 percent of our alumni were involved over the academic year ending June 30, either as event attendees, donors, or volunteers. Record reunion-year giving (see article below), a strong Firm Challenge, and enthusiastic student Class Gift donations fueled our Annual Fund result of $4.4 million, while overall giving totaled an impressive $34 million. In these pages, you will read about several new philanthropic gifts that will have lasting impact for our students in the areas of entrepreneurship, public interest, and business law. Under the dynamic leadership of Dean Michael Schill, we are poised to join the university in launching the public phase of our campaign on October 29. I hope you will be as inspired as I am by these alumni and consider your own way of participating. My colleagues in External Affairs are constantly on the move to visit with you on campus, in Chicago, around the nation, and even internationally. We appreciate your advice, support, and tremendous good will in partnering with us, and I look forward to meeting many of you in person over the coming year. Warmest regards, Annina Fabbioli Associate Dean

Reunion The Law School welcomed nearly 900 alumni and friends back to campus for Reunion Weekend 2014. More than $4.5 million was raised by the Reunion Classes to support the Law School Annual Fund, student scholarship aid, faculty research, Public Interest Fellowships, and the clinics. None of this success would have been possible without the hard work and efforts of the Reunion Chairs and several hundred Committee Members who worked tirelessly over the course of the year. Thank you so much to everyone who made Reunion 2014 such an incredible success!
