Teaching, Academic Integrity, and AI
I have been doing a lot of reading and thinking as preparation for presenting on the topic of generative AI and legal research instruction at the AALL Annual Meeting. Here are some of my ideas abou…

My latest RIPS Blog Post is on something known as the Zeigarnik effect. I'll also be speaking at a panel on this topic at the AALL Annual meeting. ripslawlibrarian.wordpress.com/2025/04/30/t...
The Zeigarnik Effect
What is the Zeigarnik effect? Bluma Zeigarnik I’ll start with a confession: When I was first asked if I would be interested in participating in a panel on the Zeigarnik effect at the AA…

I'm more center-left than center-right, but I love The Dispatch. I highly recommend their legal podcast, Advisory Opinions. I learn a lot even when I don't agree, which is often. (I am also still shocked by some of the, um, drama at SCOTUSBlog!)
scoop: @thedispatch , the right-of-center media startup, is acquiring @SCOTUSblog, an early-aughts pioneer of Supreme Court coverage.

I teach Regulations.gov not because it is going to come up often in legal research, but because it makes administrative law more interesting and "real" for students. I use chocolate milk standards for school lunches to take it out of the political realm. Interesting for a "populist" administration.

As someone who identifies as center-left and largely votes for Democrats, I admire The Dispatch, even if I do not always agree. This is generally excellent (though I don't think Sarah's referenced takedown of Biden is her best work).

At this point, I'm pretty sure I would give up the Internet for all non-essential work purposes (can't get a phone book these days) rather than voluntarily give my money to Elon Musk.

My cousin died in his early 30s of a rare brain cancer after having been exposed to burn pits in Iraq. If Amy Klobuchar thinks the Republicans are gutting the burn pits program, I believe her. (I don't trust Klobuchar on cloture. She *is* Democratic leadership. I expect her to vote with Schumer.).

I just watched Zelensky in the White House. You should too--even though it is painful. In my 55 years on this planet, I have never been so ashamed to be an American. Not hyperbole. Never.
It is so funny that The Daily today was all about how Trump remains some sort of mystical dealmaker. He never was. He is just a bully in a culture that rewards bullying.

Federal workers choose public service to serve our people, but the Trump administration wants to traumatize them.
We need cancer researchers, forest service firefighters, nuclear safety experts, VA nurses and food safety inspectors.
We don’t need Elon Musk, whatever his job is.

Should For-Credit Legal Research Instruction Have a Place of Its Own in AALL?
Something that has bothered me is the lack of centralized information about for-credit legal research courses. Those of us teaching or acting as administrators for such classes don’t have acc…

The most revealing look at the electorate. In only one election since 1976 has "Did Not Vote" lost.

Pretty sad that almost all of my reading is work-related. Popcorn with the Pope is a fun one--it is based on a list of "best films" that the Vatican put out in the hopes of having something positive to say about culture. Planning to finish out the year with some non-work stuff. #GoodreadsYearInBooks
