They were short, snappy responses by students to a book and i thought very inciteful. i think with the right pitch, any publication can get alot of responses. for instance, being published is a surprisingly important notch on your resume (i have been published, too, so i know). and alot of students just have something to say. i particularly enjoyed given an asian american classmate the chance to use his book note as a chance to say something about the asian american experience. i could tell it was very cathartic to him. when i was a law student and on a law review (not a super prestigious one, but i liked it) we ran book notes out of our publication.
