John Hart Ely

  • ... that despite being pro-choice, American legal scholar John Hart Ely penned a law review article castigating the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade? Source: https://reason.com/volokh/2021/10/15/who-is-todays-john-hart-ely/ (among others in the article)

    • Comment: John Hart Ely was among the most prolific and influential legal scholars of the 20th century; I've been working on his article for quite a while now, and it has passed nomination to become a Good Article. Perhaps most interesting about Ely was that he was an intellectual maverick who was willing to contradict his own beliefs (as the above DYK shows). The law review article mentioned was titled "Wages of Crying Wolf" and became one of the most-cited works in the Yale Law Journal.
