Idea for Law Review Article

posted by Curt Bentley, on November 12, 2007 08:20 pm

I have a great new idea for a law review article: The Misapplication of the "Indisputable Evidence" Standard of Review on Instant Replay Challenges in College Football. It seems to me that most replays are reviewed under a de novo standard, when it should be abuse of discretion or clear error. Maybe I'll work on this one over the summer I'm thinking that the solution might be to have college referees take first-year civil procedure.

This sounds cool. I was just researching, unsucessfuly, the origins of how NFL came up with this standard. Did you ever write this?

No, I haven't. I'm pretty sure that, were it to be done, it would have to be done as a legal humor piece. I've been surprised at the number of legal humor pieces that have been published in major law journals.
