STEVEN HARTWELL presented “Humor,
Anger, Rules & Ritual,” in November at
the Sixth International Clinical Conference
held in Lake Arrowhead, Calif.
and sponsored jointly by UCLA and the
University of London. It will appear in 13
Clinical Law Review (2007). The article explores
the role of humor and anger as social
cues in regulating values informally,
the role of anger in moving values to formal
status when such values are incorporated
into formal rules and then the role
of ritual as a vehicle for conveying formal
rules with affective power.

YALE KAMISAR and his co-authors
published in summer 2005 the 11th edition
of Modern Criminal Procedure (and its
spin-offs) (West, 2005), the most widely

most editions of a casebook ever pub-
lished by a founding author or co-author
in the history of West Publishing Co.
This May, Kamisar and another set of
co-authors published the 10th edition
of Constitutional Law (West). This will

“How Earl Warren’s Twenty-Two Years in
Law Enforcement Affected His Work as
Chief Justice,” 3 Ohio State Journal of
Criminal Law 11 (2005), an article which
discusses how the seeds of Miranda and
other famous cases may have been from
Warren’s own experiences as a crimebusting
district attorney for Alameda
County. In 2006, Kamisar published
“Dickerson v. United States: The Case
that Disappointed Miranda’s Critics—
and Then Its Supporters.” It appeared in a
collection of essays on the work of the
late chief justice, The Rehnquist Legacy
(Craig Bradley, ed. 2006). He also contributed
a chapter to a new book about
famous criminal procedure cases called
Criminal Procedure Stories (Carol Steiker, ed.
