Finally finished Harrow the Ninth (delayed by my travels) and Iβm going to start How to Read a Book by Monica Wood. Watching Shrinking.
I'm honored to be publishing this piece with Vanderbilt Psych Prof Sarah Brown-Schmidt in volume 112 of the Virginia Law Review. In this empirical evidence law and cognitive science article, we identify the risks posed by "hear-witnesses" who inaccurately recall and recount statements at trial.
First they came for gender studies . . . and now they are attempting to ban sociology. Florida has written its own sanitized sociology intro book and banned all others that reflect what the discipline knows about gender, race, inequality and the world. truthout.org/articles/flo...

This is how it's supposed to be.
Lawyers who think they're professionally obligated to be assholes to each other are the bane of the profession, and you find them everywhere from sole practitioners in strip malls to the biggest of BigLaw in Manhattan.

How about confirmation bias?
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Yeah, it's real. Just checked it.
Iβm thinking about posting some kind of law professor anti-AI pledge: that any signatory does not use AI to research or write any articles or books.
(I also would like advice about how to disable the ubiquitous invasive AI summaries that search engines push on us)
This writing style is a choice.
Thanks, friend!
We made it to Friday, fam! Which also means itβs time for #FollowFriday. Drop the @ below of a Lady Lawyer account you think others should follow and why.
I really encourage everyone to spend some time with the DHS Flickr page, which in one year posted thousands and thousands of glamour shot propaganda photos of Kristi Noem and little else. Our tax dollars! www.flickr.com/photos/dhsgov/
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
Okay, Iβll start. Before making public appearances for your job, make sure you still have that job. #LifeHacks
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face
Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Next in our tour of "The OTHER Declarations of 1776" we come to Maryland. Man do Marylanders like enumerating their rights! But did they borrow from Delaware or Pennsylvania? The answers, first found by @judgedanfriedman.bsky.social, may surprise you.

WASHINGTON (AP) - More than 20 states sue over new global tariffs Trump imposed after Supreme Court loss.
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of thisβeven after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
THIS!
The perks of this job ain't that great OTHER than the ability to do this -- read, think, write, think some more, write some more. All on topics of your own choosing.
Otherwise, there are lots of other jobs out there that don't come with academic committee work.
