There are many ways to measure whether a law faculty is respected; publishing articles in the leading academic journals is a traditional way, as is filing amicus briefs in the Supreme Court of the United States. Increasingly, serving as a “public intellectual” is another, being asked to provide commentary on the issues of the day, and while some of us appear in the traditional media (international, like the Financial Times, nationally, like the New York Times, or locally, like the Providence Journal or Providence Business News), the RWU law faculty is actively engaged in the burgeoning discourse on the internet. 
Here are just two recent examples: Peter Margulies, our Distinguished Research Professor, is blogging on Lawfare Blog in his area of expertise, National Security Law, while Emily Sack, our resident expert on Domestic Violence, is active in the debate in one of her fields of expertise with her comments on Privilege or Punish on PrawfsBlawg.com.
