Check out Winning by Default, my contribution to the first @statesforum.bsky.social journal -- about how state civil courts hearing so many debt collection and housing cases can adapt to function without defendants, without lawyers, and ultimately, without courts.

Fascinating study of the many fed ct cases resolved w/out adjudication.
Cf. state courts, where so many cases are resolved by default judgment. (See Default Procedures papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....)
The state and fed ct trends raise similar vexing Qs abt what US cts do and what they should do.

![TODAY. MY STUDENTS TELL ME
Today, my students tell me that I look like someone who never drives a car, that I look like I am someone who takes a train everywhere, and I love that they see me like this, the same way that I love that one day, a student asks me, do you buy your clothes on english teacher dot com?, when the truth is, I would if such a place existed. Another day, a student tells me that I seem like the kind of person who is good at tending plants, that I seem exactly like someone who would care for dying plants and maybe even heal them, only I am the one adding maybe, because they said it with such conviction and another student agreed with them like this was simple and true, and I laughed, told them they were wrong, that I wish I were more like my grandmother, who was in fact a tender of gardens and all green things and what I don't tell my students is that I am so bad at taking care of anything including myself [plz let Tom know if you need the full alt text! out of room]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vcaay2y6qaxmedo6adtgegz/bafkreih5xe3v7rtkfpzymbsdxqay3b6iwohtrbepz2wigwfwaud2rgkrve@jpeg)
