A friend asked me what I thought, so I respond­ed.  This was on Face­book, so it is a lit­tle infor­mal: Whether McCain is a nat­ur­al-born cit­i­zen has been get­ting press (well, minor press) for years, but it makes sense that… Read morein response to the McCain con­tro­ver­sy

I’ll be attend­ing two con­fer­ences in the next month and a half, and I’m real­ly excit­ed about them.  The one I’m going to this week­end is the Rebel­lious Lawyer­ing con­fer­ence at Yale.  It’s a pub­lic inter­est law con­fer­ence, and there… Read morecon­fer­ences

Today end­ed up being a pret­ty good day.  I was more pro­duc­tive than I usu­al­ly am, though that isn’t say­ing much.  I’ve been read­ing the Econ­o­mist instead of read­ing for my secured trans­ac­tions class.  It’s bet­ter that way. Some­times I… Read moresure

I may have tak­en on more than I can han­dle this year. I feel like I’m not doing a good job with all the things I’m involved in. We’ll see how it goes.

I am so in love.

I did­n’t real­ize the sig­nif­i­cance of this case until I read a blurb about it in the Econ­o­mist this week. The US Supreme Court came down recent­ly with the deci­sion in Stoner­idge Invest­ment Part­ners, LLC v. Sci­en­tif­ic-Atlanta, Inc., — S.… Read morepro­tect­ing the inno­cent… cor­po­ra­tions?
