Best writing tip I ever got (from a judge I clerked for):

Don't use an abbreviation or acronym unless EVERYONE knows what it means. That goes for legal writing, popular writing, social media - everything.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

It is entirely unacceptable for MPs to attack judges on a personal basis, the attorney general said yesterday. Lord Hermer KC was giving evidence to MPs and peers the day after two Conservative MPs had called for senior judges to be disciplined by politicians. rozenberg.substack.com/p/attorney-d...

Unbelievable
Had missed this story in the Miami Herald about a man that already been granted refugee status being removed under the Alien Enemies Act declaration to CECOT. The other identified removals I'd heard of were undocumented or asylum seekers, first I'm hearing of approved refugees being targeted
Despite refugee status in the U.S., young Venezuelan was deported to Salvadoran prison
E.M. and his girlfriend fled persecution in their native Venezuela in 2021 and dreamed of making a new life in the United States.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

This is actually a great legal writing tip, too. Nothing will inspire you more to be a good legal writer than bad legal writing. youtu.be/rCOmkrwQdFc?...

I've said this before, but the fact that legal academia (especially at top schools) has significantly turned away from concern with doctrine—in helping judges figure out how to resolve hard cases—creates an opportunity for those lawprofs who want to have actual influence on how law develops.
