LEARNING

    Ralph Waldo  Emerson  is attributed with saying:
Shall I tell you a secret of a true scholar? It is this: every
man  I meet is my master in some point and in that I
learn from him.1 I have certainly found this maxim to
be true in my life. For example, each semester I look
forward to not  only teaching my  students but also
learning from them. I learn from colleagues, from CLE
presentations, and from reading books and articles. I
have even learned from some unusual masters. Not too
long ago, my six-year-old explained to me the details of
how our Nintendo Switch works so that we could race in
Mario Kart even though my  husband (the usual Mario
Kart master) was out of town.
    Serving as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Appellate
Practice and Process has given me opportunities to learn
from leading scholars in many areas of the law, as well
as share that learning to a broader community. As I
reflect on our current issue, it provides an opportunity to
learn something new  about some familiar topics-like
conclusions and standards of review-as well as a chance
