Comments on: Tulane Law School Issues Apology for Errors in Study of Louisiana Supreme Court http://jonathanturley.org/2008/09/16/tulane-law-school-issues-apologies-for-errors-in-study-of-louisiana-supreme-court/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:13:45 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: TLS http://jonathanturley.org/2008/09/16/tulane-law-school-issues-apologies-for-errors-in-study-of-louisiana-supreme-court/#comment-26849 TLS Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:43:37 +0000 http://jonathanturley.wordpress.com/?p=3982#comment-26849 As a current student, I'm simply glad that I'm not on law review. This will taint not only the authors and the school, but the students who worked on this issue as well - and that will be the only real tragedy of this as far as I'm concerned. The school and the journal decision-makers took their chances. The students I know who are on Law Review are devastated. To be fair, though, the students I know who are on law review are devastated when a professor corrects them in class. Maybe their views on the situation are a touch histrionic.

Meanwhile it looks like all they need to do is declare "oops" for producing this fish-wrapper of a study - while they cast a shadow of incredulity upon themselves and Tulane. I would insist on Public Service. Perhaps there will be a study to study the study and how contributions may have influenced the editorial propriety of the study.

The odds of a 25% error rate in a "scientific" evenhanded study are 1 out of a million. Perhaps these professors had an agenda???? They should both resign because they are an embarrassment to their schools. Palmer's nickname is "space", i.e., outer space, space cadet, spaced out. They have caused irreparable damage to the state of Louisiana at a time when the state is focused on ethics reform. Their methodology was discredited 30 years ago. The true rascals here are the quacky professors. Not only did Tulane’s dean of law school apologize, but independent reviews found more than 25% of the Palmer/Levindis data was simply wrong.

I would not have wanted to be in the meeting where the Dean was informed of this "minor" error! Ouch! This has got to be a huge embarrassment for the authors of this study.
