on the scope of engagement in teaching, service, and scholarship.

Justice Harry Blackmun, one to both Justice William Brennan and Justice
Potter Stewart, and one each to Justice Anthony Kennedy, Justice

Members of the faculty have written more than 25 casebooks widely in use
in law schools around the country. The subjects include taxation,

torts, collective bargaining, insurance, comparative law, antitrust,
criminal law and remedies.
