Davis, Michael, "On the Intention of Plato's Cleitophon," Metis: Revue d'anthropologie du monde greg ancien 13 (1998), 271-85.

Excerpt:

Perhaps the one thing clear about the Cleitophon is that it belongs together with the Republic. Plato has for some reason invited us to pair what is by far his shortest dialogue with his longest dialogue save one. Each is about justice, but in four pages the one suggests that there may not be much to say about what the other discusses in some three hundred pages. Accordingly, while the fact that they belong together is clear, Plato’s intention in pairing them is not.
