Why Spell-Check Isn’t Enough, Part II

In 2006, at least 12 journals published articles containing citations in which Justice Ginsburg’s name is misspelled.

The offenders include:

Fordham L. Rev.

U. St. Thomas L.J.

U. Rich. L. Rev.

B.U. Pub. Int. L.J.

Fla. J. Int’l L.

U. Mich. J.L. Reform

Law Libr. J.

U.C. Davis L. Rev.

Fordham Int’l L.J.

Rutgers L. Rev.

J.L. & Religion

U. Dayton L. Rev.

Davis and Rutgers deserve special mention because they also have trouble with Professor MacKinnon’s name.   See here.  

But, I throw stones from a glass house.   I misspelled Ginsburg’s name in a footnote today.   Spell-check is not enough.
