Some Pet Peeves About Legal ScholarshipPart of an occasional series: (1) Articles entitled “[Toward] a [General] Theory of X,” where “X” is some reasonably broad topic: So, “A General Theory of Administrative Law” and maybe “A General Theory of the FDA,” but probably not “A General Theory of the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization Practice.” Why? Because though it might take a theory to beat a theory (I actually don’t think it does – some theories are junk on their own terms), facts almost always defeat general theories (in the domain of law). General theories might point you towards some things to look for in examin... read more

While this is true, it’s important to consider the roles of the aircraft. The F-35B is far closer in capability to the F-35A than the AV-8B was to the F-16C. Oftentimes, the F-35 has been colloquially referred to as one aircraft in the media, or various versions of the F-35 have been conflated with each other. However, despite their shared “p... read more
