Coming in '26, the 30th anniversary edition.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a case that’s as big of a mess as this” is something that you don’t want to hear from a judge lmao

We gotta play 'em one game at a time. We're going to give it our best shot, and the good Lord willing, things will work out.

On the issue of state courts allegedly acting as “clerks” for federal courts on state law issues, today the Ohio Supreme Court voted 6-1 to decide a state law issue for S.Dist.Ohio. They also corrected the fed judge’s citation. 😎 State courts can say “no” www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/Clerk/ecms/#...

A #legalwriting citation issue. In its certification, the fed court used Bluebook to cite an Ohio Revised Code Chapter. In its entry accepting the certification, the Ohio Supreme Court Ct switched the cite to its own style manual form w/o noting the change, but it used brackets to show a correction.

This is great advice, and from someone who in fact gives and grades law school exams.

Especially for the 1Ls out there, preparing for their 1st set of law school exams, I wrote this post back in 2007 about how to get a good grade on a law school issue spotter. The post, "Bad Answers, Good Answers, and Terrific Answers," is available here: volokh.com/posts/116838...
