Reference excerpt

Shawn J. Bayern is an American law professor. Before his legal career, he created several widely used computer-software systems and wrote several widely cited books on computer programming.

Biography After graduating from Yale University, Bayern worked as a researcher at Yale University's Technology and Planning group, there developing the Central Authentication Service. As a student, he developed a reputation for becoming critical to the university's information systems and having full access to those systems. He was the reference-implementation lead for JSTL and sat on the specification committees that developed popular languages including JavaServer Pages, JAX-RPC, and JavaServer Faces. He wrote early books on JSTL and JSP. He is also the creator of Time Cave, a "message-scheduling service," and in the early 2000s of a machine-learning system for playing rock-paper-scissors against human opponents. After his computing career, Bayern went to Berkeley Law. There, he was editor-in-chief of the California Law Review and first in his class at graduation. He then worked as a law clerk for Harris Hartz of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. He has also worked in the Office of the Solicitor General, on the Appellate Staff of the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, in the chambers of a United States District Judge in California, and at Covington & Burling, a Washington law firm. In 2017, he was elected to the American Law Institute and serves as advisor to several Restatement projects. Bayern is currently the Larry and Joyce Beltz Professor at Florida State University College of Law and also has served as a visiting professor of law at Duke Law School, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, and Berkeley Law. His books have critiqued law and economics, and he is known for developing new theories for Algorithmic entities.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Shawn Bayern

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Shawn Bayern claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Shawn Bayern before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Shawn Bayern ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Shawn Bayern

In research: Shawn Bayern appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Shawn Bayern in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Shawn Bayern is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century American legal scholars, AI legal scholars, American computer programmers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Shawn Bayern outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
