It was so nice to co-present with Prof. Jon Sheffield today at the Central States Legal Writing Conference hosted by Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. I'm fortunate to have him as my friend & colleague! @loyolachicago.bsky.social @northwesternlaw.bsky.social #legalwriting

Lawyers/law students: Would love your insights! • What kinds of feedback (quizzes, writing, exams, graded or not) actually helped you learn/improve? • Was any feedback confusing or unclear? • How did it make you feel? • Any advice for law profs on giving feedback that supports learning/motivation?

Grateful for the opportunity to co-present with Prof. Maureen Van Neste from Boston College Law School at the LWI One-Day Workshop today, hosted by the University of Florida - Fredric G. Levin College of Law & LWI’s Research & Scholarship Committee! @loyolachicago.bsky.social #LWI #legalwriting

Even after several yrs of teaching under my belt, some moments still feel new in the best way. This AY marked my 1st time teaching 1Ls @loyolachicago.bsky.social & my first time guiding them through their oral arguments. Special thx to our guest judges! Our #1L oralists did an amazing job!

I look forward to presenting with Prof. Maureen Van Neste from Boston College Law School @LWI's One-Day-Workshops hosted by Univ of Florida, Levin College of Law on 5/2. We'll be talking about Teaching Process-Oriented Legal Writing. www.lwionline.org/one-day-work... @loyolachicago.bsky.social

TBH, sometimes I completely doubt myself (hello, imposter syndrome) after countless hrs of class prep. Then a student tells me a 7th Cir. judge was impressed with her memo & she got the job. By golly, those long hrs are worth it. Cheers to law educators. I’m Big Bird. Every day.

I'm pleased to share that I've been elected to serve on the Editorial Board of The Second Draft (a peer-reviewed publication of the Legal Writing Institute) for the 2025–27 term. I look forward collaborating with an esteemed group of legal educators & scholars! @loyolachicago.bsky.social

Did a Google search on my dad while preparing for my legal writing class. I wanted to chat about discipline & how to approach this spring. Look what I found! He doesn’t share much with me but I’m proud of what he’s accomplished since coming to the U.S. 50 yrs+ ago: chicagoreader.com/city-life/fe...

This is Skye, my dog. Cute, right?
