A few years ago I wrote this short article for @thegreenbag.bsky.social which has some fun explanation about the history of Groundhog Day. A sample below but you really need to read the whole thing with the footnotes and everything papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The @thegreenbag.bsky.social Justice Scalia bobblehead, as you probably know, has him stabbing a pencil into a Lemon per his Lamb's Chapel concurrence. (And, of course, "this wolf comes as a wolf," per Morrison v Olson.) greenbag.org/v8n4/v8n4_ex...

Thanks @thegreenbag.bsky.social !

Always a good day when the latest issue of the @thegreenbag.bsky.social arrives. And extra good when there’s a little something extra.

(just me all by myself). babe wake up a new @thegreenbag.bsky.social puzzle just arrived!

Years ago I wrote this hilarious article about how Justice Holmes did the makers of Schlitz dirty when he rejected the company's trademark claim against Southern Select beer, but for some reason @thegreenbag.bsky.social rejected it. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Sooner.

Soon.

Well done JF&HE! In the same spirit, we'd like to think: "Citations should be accurate and unobtrusive. Authors may use any form they like. We do edit to keep footnotes from looking like goulash."

A great judge, a true wordsmith, and an author any editor would enjoy working with.

I **ADORE** this little article from Green Bag by a federal judge explaining how he first coined a word and then worked to use it in an opinion so it could make it into Black's Law Dictionary greenbag.org/v13n2/v13n2_...

@thegreenbag.bsky.social Bobblehead Chief Justice Roberts visited Constitutional Law today. We talked about his opinion in the Affordable Care Act case. He is holding broccoli, which was a key part of the opinion. 🥦

Adam Flaherty and Daniel B. Listwa — on a fascinating instance of a problem in statutory interpretation — in our latest issue: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
