Relevantly, @elizabethlane.bsky.social and I have a JOP coming out on this very topic, where we examine 34 years of citation data to address attorney targeting of justices. TLDR: yes, they do it and yes, it works. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Excellent visitation day here at @uga-spia.bsky.social!

HOLY SHIT

USA! USA! USA!!!!!!!! ...THAT GOAL THOUGH. THAT GAME WINNING GOAL THOUGH.

Not now Elliotte, we’re having a meltdown.

If you are interested in the U.S. Supreme Court, but have never seen the justices in action, onthedocket.org provides a step in the right direction. We combine authentic audio with AI-generated video to show you the justices announcing opinions in some of the highest profile cases they decide!

It is always amazing to chat with @ninatotenberg.bsky.social. My group (Jerry Goldman, @spoolerfm.bsky.social, and Francesco d'Alcontres) are thrilled to open up SCOTUS just a bit more to a world wide audience.

Three 8 AM MPSA panels. Whatever gods I pissed off, I'm really sorry...but you couldn't have found a better way to tell me I'm cosmically cursed?!

Friendly reminder the deadline for applications to be the next editor of JLC is coming! (It's 2/1) I'll be at SPSA if you want to chat about it!

These folks stand on their own but can’t help but note they are all MSU PhDs. So proud.

Kinda cool that we originally submitted this from three different institutions and now we’re all at UGA ❤️

📣 Out on #FirstView 📣 In "'You Reached Out to Me to Help'", @jonathanmking.bsky.social, @jessicaann87.bsky.social & @kstauffer.bsky.social use a survey experiment to test how views on courts and anti-woman outcomes are shaped by attorney gender. 🌟Available #OpenAccess🌟 buff.ly/dibwmO3

New today at Science Advances from @kshoub.bsky.social and me. We revisit the question of whether a local tragedy (mass shooting) influences voter behavior. They do, at least at the local level, with some important caveats and implications for policy. Short thread... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New article out in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social with @jonathanmking.bsky.social and @kstauffer.bsky.social! We look at harassers' decisions to employ female attorneys to fortify their arguments. Fun fact: people do not respond positively to these strategic moves. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

My article "The Partisan Foundations of Attitudes Towards State Supreme Courts," co-authored with Eugenia Artabe and Lucia Lopez, is now available online at Political Research Quarterly. doi.org/10.1177/1065...

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I’m claiming this win.

Does Janet Reno mean nothing to you, WaPo?!

Been a busy couple of weeks! Thanks to CESR at USC and the Arlin M. Adams Center at Susquehanna for the invites and letting me talk about the fun project Cody Drolc, Alison Merrill, and I are working on! Added bonus that I actually got to *see* Alison!!!

Run, don’t walk. 100% would not have made it this far without the writing groups!

IT'S WRITING GROUP SEASON!!!! L&C Women Writing Group has everything: erudite commentary, vast experience, bonding. Evidence of success: Pick up the JOP. JLC. PRQ. P&G. SPPQ. Papers that went through our group are everywhere! Deadline is tomorrow (10/3)! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today in CJ Admin… Student: can they search the trunk? Me: Not without a warrant or probable cause. Please see JayZ’s hit song 99 Problems for helpful rules. My glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back, and I know my rights, so you’re going to need a warrant for that. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's a little difficult to overstate how important having information like this is, particularly in our weird (and lovely) subfield...thank you for your incredible work here, @abbymatthews.bsky.social, @alyxmark.bsky.social, and Monica! (and it's open access!) www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Are you telling me that more women in positions of power leads to more women in positions of support? YES. YES WE ARE.

Time for the #JuniorsWhoJudicial to shine!

My article, "Judicial Ambition and the Crafting of Law: How Promotion Potential Shapes Appellate Opinions," is now published in Political Research Quarterly. doi.org/10.1177/1065...

Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Using our database, you can search for organizations and people that have paid the justices, reimbursed them for travel, given them gifts and more.

It is that time of year where the handout I made about how to read a social science article comes in useful for faculty and students. In case it is helpful for you: mjnelson.org/Teaching/How....

Really pleased to announce that my paper "The Path of Law: Legal Uncertainty and Cases of First Impression in the U.S. Courts of Appeals" has been accepted at the APSR. The paper can be found here: anthonytaboni.com/wp-content/u...

100% the best art you can ask for!

Can embarrassment of one's party dampen partisanship and polarization? One would think. In a forthcoming paper at @poqjournal.bsky.social, Taylor Carlson, @stevenwwebster.bsky.social, and I examine what we call "partisan embarrassment," including looking at the ramifications of these feelings...
