⚖️ Looking forward to speaking with UChicagoLaw students today during lunchtime about @thelap.bsky.social judicial accountability + #clerkship transparency work! Honest info about clerking is notoriously difficult to find at law schools. 🤔 Fortunately, LAP built a solution! 🧑‍💻👩‍💻

“Auntie says her To Do List 📋 is 12 pages ‼️ long. If I eat some of the pages 📃, she doesn’t have to do it, right?” Happy Furry Friends Friday 🐕, everypawdy! 🐾

The government shutdown ended without a clear resolution for the Affordable Care Act. Local physician @drdaveforphilly.bsky.social argues why Democrats need to champion a national health insurance plan for all. 

The title speaks for itself. Law schools should NOT be the only source of #clerkship info. Fortunately, they don’t have to be! @thelap.bsky.social Clerkships Database provides an *honest* picture of clerking. Shame on law schools that say otherwise. abovethelaw.com/2025/11/law-...

As a legal educator, I am shocked by how badly the law school I attended handled clerkships: routing students to famously abusive judges, pressuring students to apply to judges that made them uncomfortable, berating students who turned down clerkships with judges who expressed bias during interviews

While much of @thelap.bsky.social work focuses on clerkships, the issue goes way beyond that. There’s a disturbing lack of accountability + pervasive misconduct in the judiciary perpetuated by, among other stakeholders, law schools.

“I can’t think of a more important time to have a fully functioning seven-person Supreme Court than now, heading into the 2026 midterms,” LAP’s President + Founder @alizashatzman.bsky.social told @boltsmag.org @burness.bsky.social about the significance of PA’s Supreme Court retention victories.

As of last October, total spending in last week’s Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention election had topped $14 million, making it one of the nation’s most expensive retention elections ever.

Gerrymandering Virginia will be “one of the 1st orders of business” for the legislature in January, the state’s senate majority leader tells @boltsmag.org. That was only made possible by Tuesday’s results. This + other democracy-related election effects explained here: boltsmag.org/five-ways-20...

“I can’t think of a more important time to have a fully functioning seven-person Supreme Court than now, heading into the 2026 midterms,” says Aliza Shatzman of Legal Accountability Project. 

“I can’t think of a more important time to have a fully functioning seven-person Supreme Court than now, heading into the 2026 midterms,” I told @boltsmag.org . “The Democratic majority on the court can be a bulwark against autocracy and federal overreach.” @thelap.bsky.social

The end of an era

I can’t think of a more important time to have a fully-functioning PA Supreme Court. Thanks @boltsmag.org for including my perspective. Glad to offer my judiciary expertise through @thelap.bsky.social .

Democrats have successfully defended three seats on the all-important Pennsylvania Supreme Court. This means the court will be controlled by Ds through the midterms, and almost definitely through 2028 as well. My story on the result: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...
