European universities starting their fall semesters now makes me wonder how they can start nearly 2 months after US universities yet manage to finish in spring only a week or two after US schools

Abolish the FCC FCC The Trump Administration Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) recent efforts to intimidate broadcasters into taking anti-Trump comedians off the air…

Trump's abuses lend additional weight to the great economist Ronald Coase's classic 1959 argument for abolishing the FCC. We don't need a govt agency that licenses broadcasters, and such an agency is inherently dangerous to liberty: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Listening to Democratic Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro interviewed on a podcast and thinking he sounded more conservative than I would have guessed.

Then I realized it was Ben Shapiro being interviewed.

I read the first half and have some hopefully constructive suggestions. Bravo for the breadth of your research!

Interesting corporate #arbitration post,

including a Delaware law that makes me wonder about FAA preemption

#USOpen now is a good match, enjoy

Good morning #SEALS2025!

Nice place to present my research on #arbitration agreements in #bankruptcy and other #insolvency cases and to learn about several other areas of law from friends ranging from University of Kansas School of Law colleagues to international visitors

As a daily subway rider, it’s horrifying to see just how indifferent so many people are to forcing their music and videos and calls on other people.

It’s such an obvious thing that the breakdown of that norm really is reflective of the selfish coarsening of our me-focused society.

This view that US has awful elites was I think not widely held on 9/11 but then rapidly gained adherents with the failures of the war in Iraq and then the financial crisis and Great Recession.

Yes, it is typical, but can be a fun distraction for an hour or so that both serves the field and prompts thoughts for one’s own writing
