I have mixed feelings. There's a be careful what you wish for and a punching down problem.

But I agree that the extent to which folks blow sugar is linked to the quality issues in the field.

You do what you can to really live the originalist moment.

This is a cocktail napkin under my pink tropical drink

Also I am writing this as a break from grading actual physical bluebooks.

Happy to report student penmanship better than expected.

I've done a cost benefit analysis of AI on the back of this napkin here and it's 100x costs vs 1x benefits.

Math can't be wrong.

I thought we are paid for grading?

"geshtalt" grading on steroids

I'm a little confused but here's my best take: there's a good faith type defense to criminal contempt. And there are civil suits where QI is a defense. Both implicated here?

I love this, Maureen! Thank you for sharing. Plus the Ithaca connection....

Consider it moving professor dressing forward? #team3piecesuit

This was what I missed most about old twitter: following journalist reports of court hearing in real time. Thank you Ms. Bower! And the other journalists doing the same.

He lost me at Yenni

Also thinking about this: no journal in which I have actually published has ever asked me for a review!

I don't find it insulting, just super irritating. But also the "please review this 70 page article in 48 hours thx" is just insane.

Can you explain, I'm confused

In the US it's often a misdemeanor (as I understand it). How is it treated in the UK?

I thought maybe something bigger was at work? But you're prob right

For adlaw or natsec people: what do you think this executive order means?

Very keen to hear why. On the due process grounds I think it is strong. Indeed, I can't see the due process case for warrantless detention without notice, certainly not indefinite detention with no notice & no hearing.

About 1/3 of the way in and so far I think it's fantastic. I love the nuance.

This new paper on the general law and statutory interpretation looks so interesting, looking forward to reading it!

What do you assign as the text for what the common law is (or multiple definitions thereof)?

Read this.

I love my RAs but they are mostly people I am training. I redo it all, but I like to help them learn. In terms of usefulness, I have had great luck with subciting or formatting tasks, they have found errors, corrected pincites, etc.

I will say our research librarian got some really good stuff for me via an AI enabled search, it wasn't a bad starting point at all.
