Short articles. In addition, over the many years of his career as a lawyer and ethicist, Bucklin has written short articles on legal and ethics subjects which have appeared in various printed or electrically published magazines (e.g., Second Molar Replacements: Taking It to Court. Part 2: The Defense Lawyer’s Viewpoint. Functional Orthodontist 36 (Jan-Feb, 1986); or e.g., The Expert Failed the Daubert Test – The Consequences, Gatekeeper Quarterly, March, 2003; or e.g., Ethics for a True Leader is More than the Office Running Smoothly, available at www.Corporate-Ethics.US. The largest series of such short articles appeared in eDicta, the electronically published eZine of the ABA Trial, Tort, and Insurance Section, for which Bucklin was the contributing ethics section (Neoethics) editor during the five years of the eZine’s existence. Many of these articles by Bucklin were reprinted electronically elsewhere. (E.g., Bucklin’s Neoethics discussion of morality as something more than legal ethics rules was used as a resource by a number of state bar associations as mentoring or discussion material.

He is also the author of sundry electronically published short articles on the history of colonial New England, with particular emphasis on research and analysis of what occurred during the Americans’ 1772 attack on the Royal Navy ship Gaspee (e.g., How Big Were the Longboats That Attacked the Gaspee? The Gaspee Virtual Archives. (March, 2002), viewable at http://www.gaspee.org/Longboats2.html ).
