I understand I'm alone in my conviction that contractions are perfectly appropriate in law review articles. But, just once, couldn't we make an exception?

Here is the "correction" at issue: "Just as you do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, you do not need a scholar to know that multiple interpretations of a text exist."

Reassure me, LJ. I should fight for my right to Dylan homage, shouldn't I?

I don't know if they got the reference. Which is really funny, since the article is in part about cases in which people understand that you're not an original creator even when you don't give credit (like Superman fanfic without a disclaimer).
