HUMANITY AND LAW
MICHAEL SEROTA!
In response to Christine Stark, Memoir, Run, 158 U. PA. L. REV. 1575
(2010).
Humanity and law-not two, but one.
The University of Pennsylvania Law Review's 2010 symposium issue
on Trafficking in Sex and Labor2 begins with a personal memoir,
entitled Run, by writer and visual artist Christine Stark.' Run is crea-
tive writing at its finest-an engaging and insightful first-person narra-
tive depicting the author's experience as a sex trafficking victim.
Notwithstanding Run's artistic value, however, its placement in a law
review is most unusual. Law reviews are not known for their creativity
or willingness to experiment when it comes to the words they print,
especially when the words are those of an artist. Thus, the University of
Pennsylvania Law Review's decision to publish Run is a noteworthy attempt
to integrate creative writing and legal scholarship in a meaningful way.

to thank Michelle Singer, Ethan Leib, Robert Dolehide, Jennifer Chang, Catherine
Curlet, and Christine Stark for their helpful comments. Thanks also to Haley Bolin
Shellito, Frank Blechschmidt, and the entire PENNumbra Team for their superb edit-
ing. This article is dedicated to my mother, Gail Serota, whose heartfelt commitment
to public service and her community is a model toward which I strive.
