    Rape remains a delicate subject even in the criminal law classroom.  Many criminal law scholars forgo teaching it.  Others teach it, but tread carefully, aware that few other law school subjects are as personal, or are as loaded with issues of sex, gender, race, and power, like landmines waiting to explode.  Attempts to reform rape law are equally fraught.  This panel asks two questions.  How should we teach rape law?  And how can we reform rape law?  More importantly, this panel begins the process of answering these questions.
