Years ago I wrote this hilarious article about how Justice Holmes did the makers of Schlitz dirty when he rejected the company's trademark claim against Southern Select beer, but for some reason @thegreenbag.bsky.social rejected it.

Well done JF&HE! In the same spirit, we'd like to think: "Citations should be accurate and unobtrusive. Authors may use any form they like. We do edit to keep footnotes from looking like goulash."

A great judge, a true wordsmith, and an author any editor would enjoy working with.
I **ADORE** this little article from Green Bag by a federal judge explaining how he first coined a word and then worked to use it in an opinion so it could make it into Black's Law Dictionary greenbag.org/v13n2/v13n2_...
