Sad to see that the Shriver Center - known to many legal aid lawyers as the National Clearinghouse - has shut down. www.povertylaw.org

New evidence supporting Hotson's theory of 6 January 1601 as the first night of Twelfth Night (and why that matters). #shakespearesunday www.academia.edu/126533632/Ne...

And I thought there was an ad-free post ad-tech world medium.com/@MarcLaurits...

You could've said "Out, out, brief candle!"

I keep imagining him as Grigori Rasputin

I was going to add that the primary reason adjuncts jump to offer law school courses is to learn and teach, but I'm not sure that's any truer.

Went for my morning walk on a frigid New England day and thought about friends in Ukraine who are suffering without heat or power due to the murderous acts of a vicious dictator who is abetted by a sick US president who should hang his head in shame rather than shake his middle finger at patriots

Wondering if 'mixed metaphor' is itself a mixed metaphor

But presumably not womankind

Not to brag, but I'm a proud constituent of @warren.senate.gov

Even if multiple writers contributed to the plays and poems attributed to Shake(-)speare, it seems likely each sonnet was penned by just one. I'm deeply curious who he or she was.

Some officers also seem to lack the power to resist murderous rage when their fragile ego is threatened

Thoughts from 1991 marclauritsen01.medium.com/throw-away-s...

@jodipicoult.bsky.social Jessie Buckley should play Amelia in the film version of your book

If you love Jodi Picoult and Shake(-)speare, by all means watch this interview - shakyatbest.substack.com/p/jodi-picou...

JSWRAE (Jack Smith Was Right About Everything)

We seem to have a general problem holding 'leaders' to account

This is only irreversible if we think it is.

This is a fun series - tv.apple.com/us/show/dick...

A good response might be "We're a most UnChristian nation, thanks to you and your team."

Some UPL enforcers illustrate an inverse of this formula. (Since people who are not licensed attorneys cannot give legal advice, neither can machines.)

Of course it might just be to announce $2000 bribes to every American

I often use Google Translate to remind myself that I really should have taken more than one semester of Latin

I would've teared up over this even if Monty didn't resemble one of ours. Condolences.

Peak lawyer at a time of peak lawlessness

Now tuning into this

What will happen to the poor souls clinging to the wreckage of the Tr_mp administration?

They must not have read this: marclauritsen01.medium.com/against-rein...

So what are we going to do about it?

We considered engaging Yo-Yo as keynote 'speaker' for the extravagant SubTech 2000 (at Harvard), but ended up with Howard Gardner (theory of multiple intelligences.)

Lots of important ideas and questions here. www.linkedin.com/pulse/shift-...

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Watched this last night. Exhilarating. Keep in mind that non-Stratfordians don't doubt the man was a successful theatrical entrepreneur. Just that he was the main author. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6sW...

Books like these would likely have been banned under Queen Elizabeth I.

In this economy?

Only fitting that an outfit named after the muse of history would make history

It would be traumatizing even if the goons were unmasked

I have vivid memories of the first of these (in 1997, when the internet was young ...)

Many Americans haven't yet deciphered the Rosetta Stone

Good advice!

If you enjoy considering who might actually have written the Works of Shake(-)speare, you might enjoy reading about this new 'candidate' hyddenman.com

He has great empathy for fellow criminals

Trying to attack this rainy morning with the same enthusiasm as our dogs show attacking their first bowls of food

Here's to affirming flames

If you're going to participate in the #NoKings marches I implore you - keep it positive and peaceful, don't get baited into violence or vandalism. The government is looking for any excuse to declare these protests as "riots" or "insurrection" - don't give them that excuse. Be safe.

2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII). An article by its co-founders/directors Mowbray, Chung & Greenleaf in the Australian Law Journals discusses its history: papers.ssrn.com/abstract_id=...

Great suggestions about the cleansing power of screenlessness

My feeble effort to awaken friends on X: "Nominal 'Republicans' are paving the road to serfdom while actual conservatives busily gawk at anti-woke sideshows"

Every time I see another RFP for a "statewide civil legal needs assessment" I wonder if the money might better be spent actually addressing needs that have already endlessly been assessed
