A number of colleges, including Harvard, USC and Cornell, are advising their international students to return to campus before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20. nyti.ms/41qkzft

Always a joy to see something you've written in PRINT!

If you'd like to give it a read it digitally it is available here: digitalcommons.law.uw.edu/wlr/vol99/is...

If you'd like an off-print DM me and I'll send you a physical copy. Can't think of a better holiday present for your loved one.

NEW: Twenty-one former federal judges, including multiple former appeals court judges, urge President Biden to clear the federal death row. They include David Tatel (D.C. Cir.) and Diane Wood (7th Cir.), both of whom left the bench earlier this year. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
December 11, 2024 President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Biden: We are former federal judges who are deeply committed to the rule of law. While we may have different views on various issues related to the death penalty, we are united in our view that it is appropriate and important for you to commute all federal death sentences to life in prison without parole. Based on our experience and understanding, the administration of the federal death penalty has been rife with fundamental problems, including race discrimination in trial and sentencing, intellectual disability of defendants, and appallingly poor legal representation. Accordingly, federal executions should not proceed. We urge you to use your constitutional commutation power. We greatly appreciate your attention to this issue.

I listened to my first episode of this podcast today and it was wonderful! Made better by @profemersonwright.bsky.social's guest appearance. I also listened to an episode with @stevevladeck.bsky.social as guest. Lots of good stuff!

Very excited to read the latest volume of @jalwd.bsky.social. Aliza Milner's bibliography on judicial writing and case management could not have come at a better time. Currently up to my eyeballs preparing to teach a new-to-me elective on judicial opinion writing . . . 🤓

Amy J. St. Eve and Michael Y. Scudder: The judiciary just lost the legendary Judge Joel Flaum
Judge Joel Flaum had an outsized influence on so many areas of law, and exhibited respect for everyone who appeared in front of him.
