The article, which is my first published fiction effort, is to my
understanding unique: a love story written in the form of a law review
article. Law review articles are traditionally stuffy, serious, and
purportedly scholarly (and often long-winded) expositions on frequently
obscure (and deservedly so) aspects of the law, noted (literally) for
their extensive use of footnotes containing specific references to legal
cases, statutes, treatises, and other "authorities," which references are
painstakingly drafted to comport precisely with the rigors of official
legal citation style. Many of the citations are real (selected for their
James Bond movie dialogue-like double entendres in the present context);
some I simply made up (this is fiction, after all).
