This is why there's never been a popular show called Law & Order: Appeals Unit.

Same for us appellate judges (and our teams), except on court day. They are welcome to come join us all the same, but they usually opt to wait for argument day.

***MY COUSIN VINNY LIVE-TWEET: THE RULES*** This lecture explores the cinematic classic 'My Cousin Vinny' through the lens of English and Welsh law. Contributions and observations are welcome, but I'm perfectly prepared to tweet the entire film to a wall of embarrassed silence.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

An excellent #Appellatejob has opened up, at the Georgetown Law's @immersionclinic.bsky.social. Really a great job for someone wanting to work in an appellate clinic, it seems to me. perma.cc/CX9E-NSEJ

Corporate and business law people: Come work with me! We're especially taking a look at laterals this year.

An appellate lawyer about to roast the opposing counsel: "My friend on the other side, however . . ."

I was thinking of client red flags: the things that, if a potential client does them, I start out suspicious and on my guard. Some of these are about honesty, some are about narcissism and personality, some are about capacity to take legal advice. Here we go: /1

Something really cool from TikTok I’ve never seen before: Joan Jett in full Orioles dress practicing with the team. Does anyone have context on when this is from? My guess would be like the late 70s?

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

Always bittersweet: The last day for this year’s team They will do great things!

The second best part about this play (aside from Ceddy making the catch at all) is the way he steals it from the fan who wanted to Jeffrey Maier it from him.

Five days, three web gems. Cedric Mullins made a diving catch in the gap Saturday. He robbed a home run Monday. He robbed another home run Wednesday.

Well, if this is Cedric Mullins' final game with #Orioles, he is also going out with a bang. Yet again ... an unbelievable catch to rob a home run! Add it to the highlight reel:

One of my former law clerks (now a public defender, in fact) was a Prettyman Fellow and LOVED it.

The key to good legal writing is clarity. Exceptional clarity persuades. Unclarity sows doubt. Not key? Originality. Humor. Cleverness. A distinctive voice. Torrents of peripheral legal authority. Demonstrations of opposing counsel’s stupidity and bad faith. Edit for clarity.
