University of Pennsylvania Launches Innovative Web Site that Links Academy and the Public

The University of Pennsylvania Law Review has
launched PENNumbra, an innovative web site
that the editors hope will be "accessible to legal
scholars and to the lay public alike, uniting the
internet and the academy at the nexus of two
different spheres: at the penumbra." (About
PENNumbra).

The web site, which functions like a blog, provides
articles from the print edition of the law review
as well as scholarly responses and online debates
between legal scholars. Visitors can post comments
to the site. The current featured article is Erwin
Chemerinsky's Assessing Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
The featured web debate is Is the United Nations Still Relevant?
