Robert Jackson has always been my favorite justice in American history because he understood the dangers of this world and the blessings of our Constitution better than anyone else from firsthand expierence, and so he laid out the stakes of cases in plain terms.

There is no way law firms know how to pick out talent this early. They’re just making mistakes.
This is madness. Today we had to send a message to our 1L students telling them it’s not a great idea to use the first drafts of their first legal writing assignments because the new OCI timeline is so early they are wondering if they should.

This is what every great catch makes you say but I really feel like this is maybe the best catch of this kind that I've ever seen.

Wise words from the first law professor I ever had addressing the graduating class of my alma mater:
At the Commencement for students graduating from University of Maryland School of Law I spent some time talking with law graduates about the significance of the oath they will take when they are admitted to the bar, and its importance to upholding the rule of law. Especially now.

From my experience teaching last semester - which was wonderful - I think there should be a thing where law schools get lawyers to come to campus just to talk about being a lawyer, one on one. You sit in an office, a student comes, and they ask you whatever the heck is bugging them about this job.

Wemby is absolutely going to have a quadruple double this year and Christmas at MSG would be the perfect time imo
Pretty excited to watch Wemby at MSG.
His last 10 games:
27.5 PPG | 9.8 RPG | 5.4 APG | 4.8 BPG | 64% TS
The league tends to put their budding stars up against the Knicks. Did it with Giannis a few years ago. Think there’s a chance we see something special.
