We are pleased to introduce Slip Opinions, the new online companion to the University of Illinois Law Review. This new publication is designed to close the gap between traditional law review publications and online news sources.
By publishing short, timely articles, Slip Opinions provides an accessible medium for scholarly discussion, while reaching a broad spectrum of legal readers. Please check out our inaugural Issue, which features an update on actions following the BP oil spill, a discussion of the dangers of overlapping trademark and copyright protection for creative works, a plea for clear rights for lesbian mothers caught in abusive relationships, a primer on teaching corporate finance to law students, and a commentary on Medicaid expansion as the potential realization of the “Great Society” envisioned by Lyndon Johnson.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
