I do commercial appeals, but I also litigate very basic torts. Yes, even the inevitable slips and falls.

This case is interesting for the new phenomenon of 24/7 store surveillance. Can a judge just sort of watch the video and determine negligence?

Have a wonderful time away! I hope your break is absolutely everything you want and need it to be.

Surely, //surely//, you have enough punches on the card to get this one for free.

When your Russian intelligence handler asks you lean forward and speak into his lapel confirmation that you are a covert agent for Russia . . .

See, when people get administrative positions like this, my reaction is always, "Congr . . . at . . .s?"

(Congratulations!)

That's what I'm calling it from here on out.

"You're one of a kind" in TWO ways now.

The Clerk's Guide to emergent applications really strongly discourages amicus briefs, but no one is going to listen to that anymore, if they ever did.

That's what I love about you, Jaime. You call it down the line; no fear or favor.

This is going to be controversial, but I think the action was warranted here. There simply must be consequences for misusing the word “comprising.”

I would have written an article about phone books if it meant getting to write with Zach Clopton . . .

But luckily for me we wrote about Local Rules instead.

So excited our article is now out with the Virginia Law Review . . . 💙🧡

Having litigated one of the seminal "do you have good cause to skip notice-and-comment rulemaking?" cases in the CADC, the justification for invoking the good-cause exception is really flimsy here.

TIE Fighter is my Roman Empire. I bought Squadrons on release day just to try to re-capture that high.

I heard that Zohran Mamdani asked for utility-patent damages for infringement of a design patent.

(Am I doing this right?)

So this is basically the first ten minutes of every pandemic disaster movie?

I mean, that's the real question, right? Like, do most people do fine and we only see the train wrecks? Or?

"Sir, you can't come into the courthouse in a full Jedi cosplay with a lightsaber."

(Looks at the paper.)

"Well, I guess you do have a court order."

"Costumes optional" means that costumes are permitted.

Counsel has a chance to do something legendary is what I am saying.

Yeah, but the orcas now have like three fighter jets and a helicopter now.

In fairness, at least they are crashing while airborne rather than falling off the deck.

This is progress.

I'm pretty upset that the test views Presidents' Day as a national holday when 5 U.S.C. 6103 recognizes no such thing.

Eh. I don't know. There were random abortion protestors and religious folks outside the Court protesting at all times. It was very odd when I would be going for, like, an ERISA case and the "you will burn in Hell" protestors were out in front.

Isn't there the risk, tho, that the car is a rental? Rental cars often have different-state license plates.

Can confirm that the blurb is Alexandria’s boilerplate “you forgot to flatten PDF” docket entry. Silly mistake, but there but for the grace of gd…

Chris, I have bad news about how long the Administration has been in office.

You two are stunning!

Can I pay more for my Westlaw subscription so I am five generations behind the product my AI-powered adversaries are using?
