Thank you, @lsolum.bsky.social !

Andrew Mitchel, a tax attorney, has used the open-source code from my practice problems website, www.lawskypracticeproblems.org, to create snazzier practice problems for check-the-box - with graphics representing the entity and ownership. Check it out! www.andrewmitchel.com/resources/pr...

In the 1920s the Supreme Court (Justice Holmes!) invented (discovered?) a canon of statutory construction: presumption *against algebraic formulas*. + and - : ok. x = a/(1-r): NO, unless the legislature clearly demands it. Courts justified decisions with this canon through at least the 1970s.

Brief intro - I'm a law prof at Northwestern, through 2028 also visiting at Inria Paris, where I'm working with a team on a DSL for tax law (Catala). Interests outside of tax & functional programming include dogs, musical theater, & cats (mine is a total jerk but I'm obsessed with him anyway).

Added a law prof/academic list to my pin. Just started it, but will continue to add. Happy to add others, or if you know of similar (or better) lists, let me know. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm primarily a lurker and not a poster on social media sites, now lurking primarily on this social media site as opposed to... others.
