The Supreme Court must not shirk its obligation to ensure that presidents cannot conscript the military in an effort to undermine democracy.

With both Typepad and Twitter having imploded, there is now a lack of information about scholarly events, CFPs, etc. Since we maintain this site, which has a blog feature, for the Markelloquium, please feel free to email any relevant announcements

AALS FAR update #2: *Regional* in person meet markets! Another great idea!

AALS announces it is recreating the Marriott Wardman Park, but on Zoom. A great decision: benefits of coordinating market timeline without hassle/expense of travel!

My latest: "Localizing Public Order," forthcoming in Vanderbilt Law Review.

The takeaway: criminal regulation of public order has largely been delegated to cities, but public order should be treated as a statewide concern.
