I'd love to read the paper. I'm a retired court reporter who worked in VA courts 32 years and at the Center for Legal and Court Technology in Williamsburg, Virginia, at the Law School of the College of William and Mary--the oldest law school in North America--for 10 years.

Subject: Madison on VA Declaration of Rights
I write again to thank all those who responded to my query on the above subject.
I mentioned in one of my posts yesterday that I'd written a paper on the introduction of jury sentencing in VA and that it had been that paper that had led to my query.
Perhaps I should also mention that I'm a retired Australian federal judge with no systematic training in writing history and that I wrote that paper and many others that I've posted on the SSRN primarily in an attempt to keep my brain active in retirement.
I realise that people may consider me a foolhardy interloper to have tackled such a subject as the introduction of jury sentencing in VA, probably boring in any event to anyone not a lawyer.
Nevertheless, I'd like the paper, written without the benefit of consultation with experts in VA history except for yesterday's exchanges, to be as good as it can be.
For that reason, I'd be extremely grateful if anyone were prepared to read the paper and offer me their suggestions for improvement of it.
If you think that you might be prepared to do that, please write to me and I'll immediately forward to you a copy of the paper in its current form.
Thank you again,
Leslie Katz

Judge Katz, I'm an amateur in Virginia regularly benefiting from the wisdom and knowledge of the professionals in this forum. If they consider me a foolhardy interloper, they're kind enough to conceal it. I was an onlooker to the discussion you recently inspired, and I enjoyed it. What a great thing that so many smart, learned people work so hard to build understanding of the past. Good luck with your scholarship.
