Hey SSRN, is it normal to schedule a paper for distribution 3.5 YEARS from now? Is this a de facto rejection of this classification? @approvemypaper.bsky.social

So what is this "replication" or "reproducibility" language that JD Vance is coopting? I have a paper for you! New on SSRN. Discusses reproducibility issues & argues that we lawyers still have a lot of work to do to improve the use of science in a litigation context.

This cooptation isn't new and is dangerous.  For an earlier public example, see this, from an amicus brief in gender-affirming care case US v. Skrmetti, filed by an organization whose stated mission is to "align public policy with biblical and constitutional principles." (2/n)

Question from an online platform for providing a recommendation for a student for a scholarship. Never seen this; not sure what to think of this.

This (by Selendy Gay) is how you do it. Davis Polk & Wardwell (not on bsky and neither, apparently, are any of its lawyers?!), are you next?
