Heather Cox Richardson: [E]ven as there are four videos circulating that reveal [Trump's] accounts to be lies shows ... they are demanding Americans abandon reality ... Accepting that lie is a loyalty test.

I've got a bit of a hobby of digging up the pleadings in these cases and trying to figure out what went wrong. This piece does a great job of showing how often time pressure contributes (and how often people blame their subordinates). I always wish courts pushed attorneys to give more detail.

I often tell students to hold onto their inspirations for law school and goal practice areas BUT be prepared to pivot where the market demands. Seems like a good time to be a first amendment lawyer.

I was thinking on this yesterday. Riedman offers an excellent substack on school shootings, with very timely posts. k12ssdb.substack.com/p/meme-cultu...

We cannot celebrate political violence toward either side of the spectrum. However, when you propagate hate, indoctrinating kids on campuses to hate, you invite abuse of the second amendment right that you championed. Concealed carry campus. No security. Tragic on so many levels.

I have mixed opinions on this. Any thoughts from my fellow scholars? www.reuters.com/legal/legali...

Be outraged by the wasted tax dollars used to litigate issues long ago resolved. Christian nationalists are like children after Mom says no - can I do it now? How about now? NO. The First Amendment and precedent haven't changed on the Ten Commandments in classrooms. www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/t...

More deplorable actions. As I told students in education law yday, school policy often arises from motives unrelated to education. Here, the Trump admin is using education to make life harder for immigrants - documented or not. voiceofsandiego.org/2025/07/11/t...

At California Western School of Law in San Diego, we seek one or two visiting professors for the upcoming school year to teach Legal Skills I and II (our first-year writing and research courses). Short notice, but please email materials to [email protected]. Message me with questions.

Why does this keep happening? If a lawyer today isn't bothered to double-check AI output, they probably never double-checked anything before AI. I'm thinking the bar exam doesn't do a very good job of testing minimal competency and professional responsibility. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/u...
