In
January 2008, the authors presented an Open Source program at the National AALS
Conference in which they explored the applicability of cognitive/developmental
theories of play to our work as scholars and teachers. The authors sang,
lectured on theories of play, and involved over 100 law professors in an
exercise in which participant groups employed either visual art or music to
explain the tort concept of "lost chance."
In this article, we build upon that program and present an extensive analysis
of the literature on childhood play, focusing on those aspects of the type of
"play" which enhances development of creative problem-solving and
innovation. We then explore the adult manifestation of this childhood cognitive
activity, what John Dewey called a "playful attitude," assessing its
implications for our scholarship and teaching. As it turns out, these
implications are significant, as we detail in the last two sections of the
article where we focus on the nexus between play theory and our work as
professors of law.

The appreciation is of beauty in irregularity, in lines that suggest rhythm and movement and gesture.
