A very smart friend of mine over the weekend mentioned to me that the link in Larry Solum's post about my new paper last week did not, in fact, take him to my new paper about "Defamation and Treason in the Early Republic" and its implications for prosecuting the New York Times today. Lest other readers be suffering from similar confusion, there is no such paper.

A very smart friend of mine over the weekend mentioned to me that the link in Larry Solum's post about my new paper last week did not, in fact, take him to my new paper about "Defamation and Treason in the Early Republic" and its implications for prosecuting the New York Times today. Lest other readers be suffering from similar confusion, there is no such paper. This was a very clever April Fool's Day parody of my work, part of a larger series of such parodies--a series to which I commend Lawfare readers. The abstract of the paper is, I'm afraid, all there is.

Benjamin Wittes is editor in chief of Lawfare and a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of several books.
