Never used Wright/Miller/COOPER on (federal) jurisdiction in 30 years of practice? Interesting ...

Um, Ed Cooper? From the Wright, Miller & Cooper Federal Practice casebook. Serves as Reporter for the United States Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Hello?
Tom Kauper? AAG for the Antitrust Division.
Catherine McKinnon! Are you honestly telling me you've been around for 30 years and haven't heard of her. What rock do you live under?
Jim Krier, of the Dukeminier & Krier property casebook.
Honestly Bob, your comment just shows how isolated & ignorant you are.

You haven't heard of Catharine McKinnon?
And is it really a case of how isolated the academy has "become"? When was any segment of the academy ever not isolated? It's not like the ivory tower's all that new an idea.

It's worth pointing out that Don Herzog's name is "Don Herzog" and not "Daniel J. Herzog."
