Judge Langholz explains the origin of (cleaned up) and its rapid adoption, and then explains in plain terms why the parenthetical is useful. /2

Another good review, but this time with bonus state law (??!!) content. I appreciate in particular the succinct explanation of why (citation modified) is 👎🙄.

Ooh! I haven’t tried it yet, but I did love the logic games. I hope Pips can recapture the magic of trying to seat eight people at a dinner party with different entrees and drinks!

I love love love this idea of fruit covered in LWI stickers. This is both hilarious and useful! Imagine the puns.

I got a little branded flashlight in a swag bag this summer and liked that. Sort of like mini umbrellas - can never have too many bc they evaporate somehow.

I also use that bag! It’s a nice size and shape, although admittedly I am mostly putting in my car, which is roomier than Stephen’s bike saddle bags.

Chunks, because they are less messy. But kids seem to prefer wedges. Plus wedges are less work to make.

Thank you for the shout out!

They should replace LAWN with a Junimo Hut to increase efficiency.

I’m also thinking of these signals in the practical usage context and how bringing over the law review complexity to briefs etc often isn’t helpful - different purposes and audiences, different use of sources etc.

And in a footnote! Agree as always with David.

The compare (and now contrast) signals seem like unnecessary complications bc you can write the same sentence without italicizing the signal and it still works. But maybe now invites a bit more explanation for the reader about the sources.

Late to all this, but why must we do this in the citations. Why? WHY? Just compare and contrast in regular sentences.
