Happy birthday, Ellie!

We have been playing Sagrada. I second recs for Exploding Kittens. Splendor is also a good one.

Congratulations Ellie!

Congratulations on having your paper selected!

You have a community behind you. Sending back a hug.

What Dennis said. Mizzou Law is a great place. Please reach out if you have questions about our chair search.

The brief argues that the statutory text of Title VII should govern the question of whether a plaintiff can prevail on a discrimination claim. Through the McDonnell Douglas framework, some courts have required plaintiffs to prove more than the statutory text demands.

It was a joy to co-author an amicus brief in the case of Ames v. Ohio Dep't of Youth Services with Katie Eyer and Deb Widiss. The brief is available on the Supreme Court's docket here: www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?...
