The New York Lawyer (4/16/2008) reports that
University of Chicago Law School Dean Saul Levmore
blocked student "access to the Internet in classrooms last
month to help them concentrate on course instruction."
According to the article, the Dean has received
inquiries "from about 10 other law schools" interested in
implementing similar restrictions.
