  • THE RHETORICAL POWER of LAW CLERKS, 40 Sw
    THE RHETORICAL POWER OF LAW CLERKS, 40 Sw. L. Rev. 473 40 Sw. L. Rev. 473 Southwestern Law Review 2011 Articles THE RHETORICAL POWER OF LAW CLERKS Parker B. Potter, Jr. a1 Copyright (c) 2011 Southwestern Law School; Parker B. Potter, Jr. I. Introduction “Many believe confession is good for the soul,” 1 so I confess: Bless me, Readers, 2 for I have sinned; the title of this article is a swerve. 3 While a plain-meaning construction of my title might suggest that my topic is the rhetorical power wielded by law clerks when they draft opinions for their judges, 4 my actual topic is not law clerks as masters of rhetoric but, rather, law clerks-- or the idea of law clerks--as rhetorical devices employed by federal judges in their opinions. That is, I examine opinions in which judges have used their understanding of the role of the law clerk to make a point about something else, outside chambers and relevant to the case at hand. *474 The purpose of this article is two-fold. My first goal is to showcase snappy judicial writing. 5 Commentators too numerous to enumerate have criticized judicial writing for being dry, lifeless, and formulaic. 6 While some attempts to counter that trend have drawn criticisms of their own, 7 there is something to be said for a well-turned phrase, an apt metaphor, or a pithy example. The law-clerk references I highlight in this article certainly fall at least somewhat outside the rather small box that holds most judicial writing. My second goal is to turn the rhetoric around, using law-clerk references not to shed light on the world outside chambers--as the writing judge surely intended--but rather, to piece together a composite view of the institution of law clerking.

  • Biodiversity Hot Spots the Florida Everglades
    Biodiversity Hot Spots: The Florida Everglades edited by David L. Alles Western Washington University e-mail: [email protected] Last updated 2012-11-1 Note: In PDF format most of the images in this web paper can be enlarged for greater detail. 1 Introduction "Biodiversity hot spots are areas where endemic species with small ranges are concentrated. Not all are in the tropics, but most are. Hot spots can be extraordinarily concentrated; thousands of species may be found within a relatively small area. Species with small ranges are particularly vulnerable to impacts. Nature has put her eggs in a small number of baskets, and we are in danger of dropping them. On land, worldwide 25 areas are recognized as hotspots which contain concentrations of endemic species that are disproportionately vulnerable to extinction from regional habitat destruction. These areas retain less than 10% of their original habitat and have unusually high human population densities." (Pimm, 2001) The Florida Everglades contains one of the highest concentrations of species vulnerable to extinction in the United States. The 5,000-square-kilometre wetland in southern Florida is home to at least 60 endangered species, including the American crocodile (Mason, 2003). And the area retains less than 10% of its original habitat as the human population density of southern Florida threatens to over-run one of the most unique habitats in North America. 2 The Florida Everglades in the Afternoon Sun Nourished by the rain soaked Kissimmee River Basin and stretching south from 700 square mile Lake Okeechobee (left center), the Everglades are a wide slow moving river of marsh and saw grass covering some 4,500 square miles, flowing slowly towards the mangrove estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico (right below center).
