As a #FirstAmendment scholar/teacher, I'm so happy the new Pres is prioritizing "pluralism, curiosity, viewpoint diversity, open debate, & intellectual rigor for students and faculty, such that graduates will be prepared to live and work with people of many points of view."

I sat everything out for a while. It was probably a mistake not to prioritize a select few.

Academics w young kids, how did you deal w travel? Did you sit everything out for a few years? Did you prioritize a few impt conferences or invited talks per year (if so, how did you choose)? Did you ever take a baby? When does it get easier?

Fascinating panel on intersection of racial equality, disability law, and reproductive liberty symposium, illuminating ahistorical aspects of Dobbs reasoning, and statistics on impacts of overruling Roe.
My takeaway from Dean Chemerinsky’s keynote symposium: The goal of the Roberts court has been to move the Overton window to make unthinkable doctrinal changes thinkable. Now the Court is ticking off all the desired doctrinal changes on its wishlist.

This. I was just thinking about how hard publishing was when I had young children. It’s still hard, but nothing remotely compared to what it was.

A note of #solidarity to all the #parents and other care-takers out there during @scholasticaLR law review submission season. This feels hard because it is hard. You are doing a good job. It will be ok. Pic of me waking up early to write.

I’m at the airport ready to fly to DC for the American University Law Review symposium, and I just realized I brought no coat! Florida problems!
