Here is the abstract.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Law professors enjoy marking up drafts of papers with &#8220;Do Not Cite or Circulate&#8221; notifications-hoping that doing so will manage reader expectations, preserve their reputations, and prevent misuse of works-in-progress. But mere warnings against citing and circulating fail to accomplish these goals. I propose a better way: legal scholars can affix &#8220;Do Not Read&#8221; labels to their work. &#8220;Do Not Read&#8221; labels align with numerous structural incentives and norms that shape legal scholarship and academia-norms that are better embraced than reformed. &#8220;Do Not Read&#8221; labels promise preservation of reputations, efficient hiring procedures and academic workshops, insights into the practice of law, the fulfillment of legal scholarship&#8217;s true purposes, and, perhaps, the salvation of humanity as we know it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Download the essay from SSRN at the link.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=HedgehogsFoxes\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael L.
