Abstract

I ran into one of my academic lords and masters in Connecticut last week, who hoped I would be at a meeting of some dull sort on Monday. I told him I would be detained elsewhere. He said, "Where?" I said, "Hong Kong." He said, "Why?" I told him, "Conference, comparative legal theory." "Why are you doing that?," he asked. I replied, "Well, it's an idea that some of us cooked up scribbling on a napkin at the Regent Bar in Hong Kong a little over a year ago. It seemed sort of fun so we thought we would do it." That answer had several virtues. It is true, it is short, and it is set at so primitive a level that even an academic administrator could grasp its essence and move on.
