Maybe itโ€™s because Iโ€™m fresh out of law school, but we were taught that you cannot use โ€œid.โ€ for a string cite. I would use a full citation for all.

Historical SCOTUS question for @stevevladeck.bsky.social:

Before the Court started taking fewer cases, was it still the practice of the SGโ€™s office to argue all the cases themselves? Or did other parts of DOJ argue cases that the SG either didnโ€™t want to or couldnโ€™t handle?

I have a strange feeling that sign will continue to be useful.

The symmetry on that cite is pleasant, regardless of the typo!

My entire corpus as an attorneyโ€”all of it, apparentlyโ€”is the work of AI.

#appellatesky, who are your go to accounts for circuit-specific updates? When I clerked on the Fifth Circuit, I set alerts for each @rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social
