Next one will be entirely about vampires.

Museum of Blood?

I'm sure a formal announcement is forthcoming, but IMO it is taking too long. So I'm taking it upon myself to announce really exciting news.

Business x health law scholar @laurenroth.bsky.social is joining the faculty at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University next year!

I'm writing a chapter for a book. No big deal.

Except I asked the eds if I could write short fiction rather than another paper about law.

They said yes!

Museum of Joy is my first attempt at fiction, so I could really use some feedback!

My latest paper, Interpreting Congress, is forthcoming in Wisconsin Law Review. I have some time to make additional changes, so please take a look and let me know if you have feedback.

I realize the thumbnail image in the post below is a graphic for the 2023 NDEL conference. I have no idea how to fix that, but if it matters, NDEL 2025 has a nice graphic as well and in a RADICAL departure from the norm, does not have a subtitle. It is just "New Directions in Environmental Law."

Hawai‘i Law Review is currently accepting submissions for its upcoming Volume, which will be published across two issues in the 2024-2025 academic year. Advancing legal scholarship in Hawai‘i, the Pacific, and beyond, the UH Law Review contributes to the national discourse on emerging legal issues.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with the executive team at the University of Hawai’i Law Review. They have been professional, gracious, and a pleasure to work with. They are looking for an article or two for their next issue. See below (1/3).

East just six potato chips and people think you have great restraint. Eat six cookies and they don't.

On the other hand, there is no circumstance where I would ever allow a John Mayer song play for more than two or three seconds.

Been thinking about this for a while now…if I’m scanning through the radio, there is no situation in which I would not stop for a Sheryl Crow song.

I'm still figuring Bluesky out. Is there some way I can just auto-follow everybody on this list?

I gave Bluesky a try about a year ago and it felt very empty. The rumor I'm hearing is that maybe its filling up, so I'm back to give it another try.

Say hello!

With 7-year-old twins, my house is sort of like the set of a horror movie. There are teeth strewn all over the place.

Unlike Biden, who is 81, embryos are negative years old.

"More is better" is not the same as "more is necessary." 🤦🏽

I told myself I wouldn't listen to these arguments. Why am I listening?

In any case, the Fed Courts stuff here seems a lot more interesting than the CAA stuff.

In the Transport Rule args, Kavanaugh keeps saying we have to balance the equities on both sides, but doesn't the CAA explicitly put a finger on the scale in favor of environmental and public health protection rather than protecting industry?

SCOTUS has often done things most ppl dislike (including things I do like, eg Brown). But is that antidemocratic? I *think* saying SCOTUS is empirically, historically, & structurally antidemocratic assumes going against popular will is itself antidemocratic. I genuinely don't know if I agree.

I have nothing good to say about the current court, and I think we're mostly in agreement. But my basic assertion is that being anti or even counter-majoritarian can still be democratic to the extent it provides avenues for different types of engagement in public decisionmaking. (1/2)

#SCOTUS isn't antidemocratic. Its antimajoritarian. Its part of the larger democratic ecosystem insofar as it provides an avenue for individual counter-majoritarian contestation, deliberation, and express reason-giving. See, e.g., papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Everything else you say is correct!

I closed my Twitter account but miss it. I miss the discussions we had there; I miss the connections I build there. I'm resisting reopening out of principle (and because who needs a million social media accounts) but!! It's a loss. Anyone else feel this way?
