You know them. There are enough of these folks in law school, too many in my opinion. What the legal academy sorely needs, among other things, is real intellectual diversity, from all sides of the philosophical divide. The deconstructive life may well be worth living if it prompts us to take risks, to risk our all in the name of some undefinable longing. Such a life also stands to humble us, and thereby make us more open to ways of others and to the errors of our own ways.
Uncertainty surprises all.
Still, a willingness to accept uncertainty is wonderful antidote to mindless dogmatism. All I can say, for the moment anyway, is that justice is . . . I cannot, I will not, capture it for you. Law may not be a Kafkaesque trial but neither is it the predictable happy ending portrayed in the classic movie Twelve Angry Men. You see, pursuing justice, worthy as it can be, is risky because there are so many unknowns in life and law.
