BUFFALO LAW REVIEW

           THE DO CKET


   VOLUME 58            JUNE 2010            PAGES 1-14

               Pedagogy and Critique:
               Values and Assumptions
           in the Law School Classroom

                 RICHARD MICHAEL FIsCHLt

    An old joke has it that a rabbi, a minister, and a priest
were out fishing when the weather took a sudden cooler
turn. Without a word, the minister stepped out of the
rowboat and walked across the water's surface to retrieve
his jacket from shore. A short while later, the rabbi made
the same journey, returning to the boat sweater in tow. The
priest-experiencing chills from the weather as well as from
witnessing his colleagues' seemingly miraculous if not
entirely  unprecedented   feat-offered   a  silent  prayer,
stepped gingerly over the gunnel, and sank straight to the
bottom of the lake. Whereupon the rabbi turned to the
minister and said, I guess we should have told him where
the rocks are.
    Jim Atleson's Values and Assumptions in American
Labor Law'-published just over a quarter century ago-
set out to tell us where the rocks are in American labor law.
Celebrated in a symposium hosted by the Baldy Center and

t Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development,
University of Connecticut. Many thanks to the editors of the Buffalo Law
Review for their extraordinary patience and for providing this virtual platform
for my much-delayed contribution to the symposium discussed in this essay; to
Fred Konefsky and Dianne Avery for their gracious hospitality during the live
event; to Fred and Dianne as well as to Karl Kare, Jeremy Paul, Kerry Rittich,
and Jack Schlegel for thoughtful and encouraging reactions to an earlier draft;
and to Jim Atleson, whose scholarship, teaching, and mentoring have set the
standard for a generation of progressive labor scholars.
