Seriously, Tigers are rallying in 9th with no outs and no fans in stands. Admittedly they have a steep hill to climb, but come on fans.

Supreme Court likely to strike down Colorado's conversion therapy ban A lesson in how defining the case often resolves the case.

The first Law Dork oral argument report of the new Supreme Court term is a doozy: Chiles v. Salazar, over Colorado’s conversion therapy ban.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Rules that Parents Cannot Bind their Minor Children to Arbitration Agreements It astonishes me how many cases I come across involving children injured at trampoline parks or similar amusements. In March of this year, a court granted

Pennsylvania takes a bold stand against the regime of β€œarbitration for all,” refusing to allow parents to sign arbitration agreements on behalf of their minor children because arbitration cannot protect the rights of minors the way courts do.

In the spring, the Trump administration abruptly cut $500 million in deliveries from a program that sends U.S.-produced meat, dairy, eggs and produce to food banks and other organizations across the country - about a quarter of the funding the program received in 2024. The items that were delivered through The Emergency Food Assistance Program were some of the healthiest, most expensive items that organizations distribute.

It is an incredible twofer here: Trump is hurting farmers and increasing hunger. Literal lose-lose policy choice

Can Judicial Resistance Last? The law can protect democracyβ€”but only up to a certain point. After that, it’s up to the people. And there’s the challenge.

My new essay (with Bojan Bugaric): β€œHow long can judicial resistance last when it is to come from unelected lower court judges, if it comes at all? We believe that the momentary flurry of judicial activity is fool’s gold.”

The rule of law means that civilians who commit crimes are prosecuted in courts of law with benefit of due process. Extrajudicial executions in international waters are an affront to our Constitution and the law of nations. It isn’t national defense. It’s murder.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use β€œreasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Yes, New College is incredibly inefficient but it also dropped 60(!) spots on the US News & World Report rankings. Not easy!
