Heading to @georgetownlaw.bsky.social for a symposium on legal interpretation and data.

I'll be presenting some preliminary empirical results for an early-stage paper, "Is Originalism Common Sense?"

Attend virtually! Program and info here: solid-symposium.github.io/2025/#program

Grateful to @dtdeacon.bsky.social for the generous review of my new article at Yale J. of Reg.'s "Notice & Comment" blog.

"'Standard Textualism' should be of great interest to the administrative law crowd in addition to the legal theory generalist." Indeed!

"Standard Textualism" (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....)
got the coveted "Download it while it's hot!"
--AND Download of the Week!--
on @lsolum.bsky.social's Legal Theory Blog!

Difficult and kind of embarrassing trying to convey to family and friends how excited this made me...

New draft article!

“Standard Textualism”
papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Main claim: Faithful adherence to modern textualism would produce far more standard-like (as opposed to rule-like) law than people have realized.

Important implications for textualists AND critics of textualism!

Excited to comment on Ed Cheng's work at this symposium at Columbia Law next Fri., Nov. 8!

Speakers incl. E. Beerdsen, V. Hans, M. Grossman, D. Faigman, S. Diamond

Comments by me, J. Rakoff, A. Sood, D. Richman, R. Wexler, D. Madigan
