In 2005, the Texas Wesleyan Law Review (1) held a symposium on the intersection between law and the fictional universe of Harry Potter. (2) A dozen legal scholars contributed essays on topics like “the limitations of law and legal institutions as depicted in the Harry Potter narratives, the legal “failings” of the Ministry of Magic, and the “arbitrariness contrary to the rule of law” inherent in “the operation of the legal system [in the Harry Potter universe] through the lens of the ‘Unforgivable curses’.” (3) This was not the first attempt at incorporating J.K. Rowling's work into the legal scholarship, nor was it the last. (4)
Nor was this blending of literature and legal scholarship unique to Harry Potter. Numerous authors and their works have shown up in law journal articles. These include, for instance, Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Miguel de Cervantes, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Herman Melville, William Shakespeare, Leo Tolstoy, Mark Twain, and Virginia Woolf. (5) To this list we can add the name of Latin America's most influential author, Jorge Luis Borges, who has been cited in hundreds of law review articles, essays, and book reviews. (6) Borges was an Argentine poet and short story writer who died in 1986, and is widely considered one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. (7) But while his influence in the legal scholarship—the topic of this article—has not yet been examined seriously, his influence in other areas like literature, philosophy, and popular culture has been widely recognized, and in some cases studied.
Indeed, Borges is revered by a growing and diverse range of individuals, from academics and literary titans to heads of church and state. (8) Almost four decades after his death, Borges's fiction and poetry continue to be published, and he continues to be praised and discussed, in prestigious literary forums. (9) Indeed, like Kafka, Orwell, and Shakespeare, Borges's surname has become an adjective. According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, “Borgesian” (or “Borgean” (10)) means “of, relating to, or suggestive of Jorge Luis Borges or his writings.” (11) The term's popularity appears to be growing. (12)
To name Borges among the most important writers of the 20th Century is no so much an opinion as a universally-accepted truism, at least among the literary establishment. (13) His eminence in the canon stems not only from the merits of his work, but also from the influence his work has had on art, culture, and society. The influence is significant. (14) One area where his influence is evident is, predictably, modern literature. He is credited as “the father of the Latin American novel” who “created a new literary continent.” (15) His work is widely-acknowledge as having inspired, if not given birth to, the Latin American literary “Boom” and the magical realism movement. (16) Indeed, the Boom, which launched a group of young Latin American novelists onto the world stage, is widely credited with originating in Borges's fiction. Borges, one author noted, was the primary reason “Latin American literature emerged from the academic realm into the realm of generally educated readers.” (17)
This worship of Borges is not merely popular among critics and readers; it is engaged in by many of the twentieth century's leading literary figures, such as Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Isabel Allende, Carlos Fuentes, Julio Cortázar, Roberto Bolaño, and Augusto Monterroso. (18) Borges's literary influence extends far beyond Latin America. (19) His ideas and plots have been used by writers in languages other than Spanish to create two of the most-read books in history. These are The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, which has sold over 150 million copies, and The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, which has sold over 50 million. (20)
Borges has also had a significant impact on film, something studied and discussed in academic papers, doctorate dissertations, blogs, books, and websites. (21) At present, a professor of literature is writing a scholarly book on Borges's influence on Hispanic film. (22) Borges's stories and screenplays have served as the basis for over 30 movies (23) and he is credited as a writer on more than sixty films. (24) Recent Borges-inspired films include Inception (2010), The Matrix movie franchise (1999, 2003, 2021), (25) and the award-winning Argentine film Extraordinary Stories (2008). (26) There are several recent examples of additional movies with scenes or plotlines that draw on Borges and his fiction. For instance, in a scene in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)—which draws heavily on the Borges story “The Aleph”—one character, Miguel O'Hara, shows another, Miles Morales, a pinpoint of light that contains “everything” in all universes of the spiderman multiverse. (27) In the film Interstellar (2014), the main character enters the fifth dimension—by way of a black hole—and finds himself surrounded by seemingly infinitely repeating patters along the walls, many of which are bookshelves, strongly reminiscent of Borges's infinite library in his story “The Library of Babel.” (28) This reference to Borges is not surprising, given that the film's director, Christopher Nolan, reveres Borges and has used Borges's work as inspiration on numerous occasions. (29) Another recent example is a scene in the award-winning film Birdman (2014), which shows one of the leading characters reading Labyrinths, a short story collection by Borges. (30)
In addition to literature and film, Borges has also had a significant impact on philosophy, and is indeed sometimes credited with having greatly “inspired professional philosophers from both the continental and analytic traditions.” (31) Borges has also had a strong influence within academia, and is one of the most widely read and studied writers in literature, creative writing, and Latin American studies programs. (32) There are today Borges collections at several American universities, including Michigan State, Texas, and Virginia, and the University of Pittsburgh houses the Borges Center, a vast repository of Borges manuscripts, criticism, and scholarship, as well as an academic journal dedicated to scholarship on Borges and his work. (33)
The influence Borges has exerted on literature, film, and academia—which has occurred despite an effort to suppress a significant portion of Borges's work (34)—has been widely observed and studied by others. (35) But Borges has also exerted a substantial impact on the law and legal scholarship. Unlike Borges's influence in the other areas discussed above, his impact on the law and legal scholarship has remained, to date, almost totally unexamined. I will leave Borges's influence on law in general for another day. (36) In this article, I aim to catalogue and examine Borges's influence on the legal scholarly literature. I approach this task from two angles. First, I have compiled an index of legal scholarly references to Borges and his work. (37) And second, I analyze and draw conclusions based on the data compiled in the index. (38)
This article was inspired by my repeated encounters with references to Borges in the legal academic literature over the years. (39) Because I am an admirer of the author, these references piqued my interest. They also raised several questions. How many legal scholarly papers cite to Borges? What is the nature of these references? Are they typically mere passing mentions, or are these references more substantive in nature? Are most citations to Borges made in the narrow field of law and literature, or do they occur in other doctrinal areas, such as constitutional law, civil procedure, intellectual property, and torts? Has anyone compiled all such references or analyzed them empirically? What would such an analysis entail? What would it reveal? In short, what influence has Borges had on the legal scholarship to date, and what conclusions can we draw from it?
In this article, I attempt to answer these questions. My method for completing this task is to locate, to the extent possible, all references to Borges in the legal scholarly literature, compile them into one list, review each source, and make observations based on what I find. Part II of this article contains a brief discussion and analysis of my findings. In it, I discuss trends I observed and offer some tentative conclusions. Part III contains the comprehensive index of law journal articles, essays, books, and book reviews that reference Borges or his work. Part IV concludes.
The first citation to Borges in the American legal scholarly literature appeared in Volume 43 of the Indiana Law Journal, in a book review by Gary S. Goodpaster, an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Iowa, in the fall of 1967. (40) Professor Goodpaster wrote this book review at the beginning of what would be a long and distinguished career in the legal academy. (41) Notably, this first citation was not a mere citation, but a detailed discussion of a major Borges story, “The Library of Babel,” in the body text of the review. Goodpaster gives a detailed description of the story in the second paragraph of the book review, and uses it as an interpretative device for demonstrating how the book at issue contains a voluminous “universe” of “encyclopedic” work. (42) Thus, Borges's entrance into American legal scholarship was rather abrupt and, from the outset, consequential. Even in this first scholarly mention, the author did not so much refer to Borges, as he relied on Borges to formulate the thesis he put forth in the book review. (43)
Goodpaster's Borges discussion did not open a floodgate of citations. In fact, more than ten years would pass until another legal scholar cited Borges. (44) The index in Section III of this article, which lists citations to all legal scholarly references to Borges, shows how slowly Borges and his work began to be cited. In the 1960s, there was only the Goodpaster citation. (45) In the 1970s, there was likewise only one citation. (46) It was not until the 1980s that Borges began to be cited regularly. In fact, that decade saw the first two consecutive years in which Borges was cited (1980–1981), first year in which he was cited by multiple authors (1985—three authors), and the first year Borges was cited in more than five separate articles (1988). (47) Moreover, 1984 was the last year in which there was no citation to Borges, and 1989 was the last year in which there was only a single citation to Borges. (48) The number of citations to Borges has ballooned over the past couple decades, growing to more than 120 citations in the 2010s. The following chart shows the growth of citations to Borges over time.
Not all citations are equal, of course. There is a significant qualitative difference between an article that contains a single citation to Borges in a footnote, on one hand, and an article that discusses Borges at length throughout the work. (49) For this reason, the index in Section III assigns a numerical “depth” score to each citation, indicating the level of depth with which Borges is discussed in the publication. A “1” indicates Borges is mentioned or cited only in one or more footnotes. A “2” indicates Borges is mentioned or cited in the body or title of the article. A “3” indicates the publication contains at least a full paragraph discussing Borges or his work. And a “4” indicates a lengthy discussion of Borges or his work in at least a substantial portion of the publication, if not throughout the whole of it.
This numbering system has some obvious limitations and flaws, of course. Because there are only four categories, there is a wide range of depth of treatment within each category. For instance, an article might cite Borges only in footnotes, but contain several citations to Borges, while another might mention Borges only once in the body text, merely as a passing and mostly irrelevant reference. Yet, the former would be designated only a “1,” while the latter would receive a “higher” designation of “2.” Nevertheless, these numerical designations generally do reflect the relative depth of treatment the respective authors give to Borges in their work.
One observation that can be made from an overview of the index is that, with few exceptions, there are almost no repeat-citers. (50) That is, the growth in the number and depth of citations to Borges is not a matter of a few Borges fans repeatedly inserting Borges references. Rather, more and more legal scholars are citing Borges and his work. (51) The number of citations rocketed up from the 80s to the 90s, and again from the 90s to the 2000s. (52) The rise was more modest moving from the 2000s to the 2010s. (53)
So, what can be made of these more than 300 citations? There really is an infinite number of interpretations. The aim of this article is not to focus on any particular analysis, which inserts subjective judgement, not only in the selection of the topic but in the interpretation of it, but rather to present the full data and let readers draw their own conclusions. Nevertheless, I will make a few brief remarks on some of the trends I observed while compiling the index.
Borges has been cited in many of the most prestigious law reviews, as determined by current leading rankings, (54) including the Yale Law Journal, Harvard Law Review, Stanford Law Review, and others. (55) To date, Borges has been cited in three Yale Law Journal articles, five Harvard Law Review articles, and five Stanford Law Review articles. (56) Borges has also been cited in numerous specialty journals at top law schools, such as the Yale Journal of Law and the Humanities, the Columbia Journal of Law and the Arts, the Harvard Human Rights Journal, and the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. (57)
Moreover, scholars who have cited to Borges count among their numbers some of the most influential and eminent scholars in the legal academy. These include, for instance, Lawrence Lessig, who cited to Borges in a 1995 Stanford Law Review article. (58) Lessig was called by the New Yorker “the most important thinker on intellectual property in the Internet era,” and has been included on numerous most-cited-legal-scholars lists. (59) His accolades are many, and include authoring the third most cited law review article in 1995, and co-authored the second most cited article in 1994. (60) Another leading legal scholar who has cited Borges is Douglas Kysar. He cited to Borges in his 2003 article in Ecology Law Quarterly. (61) Kysar, like Lessig, has been included on numerous lists as one of the most-cited scholars in the modern era. (62) Yet another eminent legal scholar who has cited to Borges is Mark Lemley. He cited to Borges in a Yale Law Journal article he co-authored in 2023. (63) Lemley was recently acknowledged to be the eighth most-cited legal scholar of all time. (64)
As discussed earlier, not all citations to Borges are equal. While any article that cites to Borges is counted as one on the table above, which tabulates the total number of citations to Borges from the 1960s to present, this includes a diverse range of treatment of Borges and his work. The “depth” numerical score ascribed to each article helps give better context to how much treatment the author gives to Borges. Thus, an article designated a “3” means the article discusses Borges in at least one full paragraph within the work, (65) and a “4” means the article discusses Borges throughout at least a substantial portion of the work, if not throughout all of it. (66)
But while certainly a higher number on this scale indicates a greater importance of Borges to the work in which he is cited, this should not be confused to mean that the greater the number the greater the influence. Paradoxically, a lower number might actually indicate more deference. This is because while the earliest citations—from 1967 and 1979 (67)—were both designated as “3,” an increasing number of later citations received the designation of “1.” (68) This can be interpreted in two ways. It could be seen as later authors giving less treatment to Borges because his ideas or work is of less direct importance to the article in which he is cited. Alternatively, it could be seen as giving greater deference to Borges in later citations because there is no longer any need to explain citing to him by including a discussion in the body text. When authors merely drop in a citation to a source, without addressing that source in the body text, the cited authority is understood to stand for the point made. Early citations to Borges explained why the author was citing to Borges. Increasingly, later authors merely cited to Borges without giving such explanation, taking for granted that readers would understand the weight of Borges's authority.
Moreover, Borges appears to be becoming more ever-present in society and the academic literature, such that citations to him no longer come from literary specialists who happen to appreciate his work, but increasingly from authors who might not be a particular fan of the author but have encountered a quote or point ascribed to Borges that works to support the assertion for which they are citing Borges.
Perhaps the most interesting use of Borges in the legal academic literature, at least from the perspective of Borges scholars, is how authors use Borgesian themes, ideas, and plots to explore legal doctrines and trends. This blending of the fictional world of Borges with real world legal principles and theories has been accomplished in creative ways by numerous scholars.
For example, Professor Pedro Cabán Vales of the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico published an article in which he explored how the criminal law in place at the time Borges wrote the story Emma Zunz (69) might have influenced the story's plot. (70) In the story, which Borges wrote and published in the 1940s, but which took place in Buenos Aires in the 1920s, “the protagonist creates a story aimed at disguising her revenge as an act of self-defense.” (71) Professor Cabán Valdes summarized his thesis as follows: “[t]his paper analyzes Emma Zunz and the applicable Argentine criminal law of the time in order to determine to what extent the legal texts may have influenced the writing of the short story.” (72) Other legal scholars have used the Emma Zunz story to explore legal doctrines and theories. (73)
In a law student comment on the fair use doctrine under copyright law—how a copyrighted work may be used by another in a transformative way—Brockenbrough Lamb used a Borges story (74) as a device for explaining how the doctrine should, or at least could, be interpreted. (75) “In 1939,” Brockenbrough wrote, “decades before . . . the Copyright Act, or the concept of transformative use existed, the Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges wrote the short story Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote, which illustrated the relationship between author, reader, and text by focusing on the transformation that occurs through contextual reading.” (76) The story's plot, and what makes it useful as a scholarly device for Brockenbrough, centers a fictional French writer, Pierre Menard, whose ambition is to rewrite the classic novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes word for word, not by copying it down or channeling Cervantes, but by writing it verbatim in his own original voice. In the story, Menard succeeds. (77) Literary critics are astonished by the new version, even though it is verbatim the old version, judging it vastly superior because of the context in which it was written. (78) Brockenbrough concludes that this story reveals “the surprising relationship between author, reader, and text that appropriation artists . . . seek to expose: that authors lose authority once the texts are on the page.” (79)
In another article, this one published in the Pepperdine Law Review, Professor Marco Jimenez likewise used the Borges story Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote as a lens for scholarly exploration, but Professor Jimenez did so in the realm of constitutional interpretation. (80) According to Jimenez, Borges's story “deals with important issues governing interpretation, the creation of meaning, and the ascertainment of original intent.” (81) In the same way that Borges's fictional scholar, Pierre Menard, rewrote Cervantes's Don Quixote word for word, but purported to produce a version “almost infinitely richer,” Jimenez reworks Borges's story but writes it in the context of the U.S. Constitution. The idea is that, like the words in Don Quixote, the meaning of the words in the Constitution have evolved over time and have taken on deeper context and meaning, producing a new text even if the exact same words are used today. (82) According to Jimenez, the antiquated words and phrases of the Constitution “have themselves remained the same, [but] are now viewed through the lens of historical events (e.g., the Civil War, Reconstruction, and New Deal) and judicial precedents (e.g., the Dred Scott decision, Plessy v. Ferguson, and Brown v. Board of Education) so powerful as to have changed the meaning (though not the spelling) of the words themselves!” (83)
In another law review article, The Other Death of International Law, Professor Ed Morgan of the University of Toronto analyzes the demise of Yugoslavia and the subsequent recognition of newly self-determining sovereign entities “through the lens of the fantasy stories of Jorge Luis Borges.” (84) But not only does Morgan utilize Borges as a device, he also analyzes why Borges and his work are so useful to legal scholars for exploring legal doctrines. “The writings of Borges suggest themselves as a vehicle through which to examine legal developments for a number of reasons,” Morgan writes. (85) These include that fact “his stories have the close texture of argument,” (86) and that Borges's world “is a closed one, with its own internal logic and a fundamental detachment from the author's actual surroundings.” (87) According to Mortan, this helpful vehicle for scholarly exploration applies with particular force to the area of international law. “In other words,” he added, “the Borgesian perspective helps bring into focus international law's relationship to the world of politics which it purports to govern.” (88)
Although this Borges-as-a-lens method of using the author's work to analyze an area of law has been used in numerous doctrinal areas, it appears to be particularly prevalent in the area of intellectual property. A significant number of legal scholarly papers discussing IP topics cite to Borges. (89) On the other hand, Borges has been cited in a diverse range of other doctrines, ranging from evidence and civil procedure to free speech and artificial intelligence. (90) Perhaps the most helpful and accurate summary of the citations to Borges is the list itself, as any summary or simplification of it arguably amounts to interpretation, if not misrepresentation.
The index below contains the full list of scholarly references to Borges I have located in the legal academic literature. This search involved using digital databases available through Hein Online, Westlaw, LexisNexis, and the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). (91) The index is simple. It contains two columns. In column one is a citation to each legal article, essay, book review, or book. Column two contains the numerical “depth” score discussed above. It indicates the level of depth with which Borges is discussed in the cited paper in that row. Here is a key to the usage of the numerical “depth” score (92):
1—the paper cites to Borges only in footnotes
2—the paper mentions or cites Borges in the body text or title of the article
3—the paper discusses Borges throughout at least a full paragraph
4—the paper discusses Borges throughout at least a substantial portion of the paper

Legal scholars have cited Borges with increasing frequency over the past few decades. Indeed, citations to Borges and his work have increased every decade since the author's death in 1986. Others have noted that Borges has grown in popularity, and perhaps even in relevancy, since his death (93)—though he certainly was a literary giant even in his own time—and it should be no surprise his impact in the legal scholarship mirrors this trend. My aim here has been to make a record of this growing scholarly impact, while at the same time giving it context and trying to explain why it is relevant.
The time and effort required to compile the index above almost certainly outweighs its scholarly value or significance. This is not to say that academics will not find it useful—no doubt, some will—but the task of building the index has required months of work, and it is speculative, at best, to predict that others will make significant use of it. One consolation is that the nature of the index is such that it can be updated and revised as needed moving forward. This task will be lighter work now that the foundation has been laid.
The current index focuses almost exclusively on American law journals, although certainly law journals from other jurisdictions belong on the list just as much as those from the United States. Accordingly, I anticipate supplementing the index in the future not only with future American law journal articles, but also with current and future international law journal articles. In this task, I invite readers to send me any legal scholarly article, essay, book review, book, or book chapter I have left out of the index, but which belongs on it because the author references Borges. With such contributions, the index will become more complete, and therefore better. Accordingly, although the index can and hopefully will continue to grow, (94) it will never, God willing, ever be finished.

After graduating from law school in 1965, Professor Goodpaster clerked for an appellate judge and then joined the law faculty at the University of Iowa. He published the book review in which he cited Borges less than a year later. In 1971, he joined the law faculty at the University of California, Davis, where he worked until his death in 2012.

Searches of these digital databases were performed using the search term “Jorge Luis Borges” in quotation marks. All results were analyzed to determine whether the result is appropriate to include in this index and, if so, what depth score should apply to it. The index contains search results in these databases up through August 2024.
Some limitations of this numerical “depth” scoring system are discussed supra in Section II.
