This is a long shot, but any #academics or #lawprofs have a textbook on public law (statutes, regulations, and interpretation) they like?

Even more of a long shot, one they think could be used for an undergraduate class?

FWIW I'm currently looking at this: https://www.westacademic.com/Eskridge-Gluck-and-Nourses-Statutes-Regulation-and-Interpretation-Legislation-and-Adm-9780314273567

Seemed like this day would never come... https://blog.law.tamu.edu/blog/texas-am-law-confirms-newest-full-professors

Maybe #LawProfs can chime in. How do I find US court cases in which a media outlet was sued for defamation for reporting "A driver struck X" instead of "A car struck X"?

We have gotten the collection Classical Rhetoric & Contemporary Law: A Critical Reader over the finish line. An accessible text for scholars and students (#LawProfs, #argumentation, #LegalWriting, #TeamRhetoric)—and curious lawyers in #LawFedi. Introduces the complex relationship between ancient western thought and contemporary law and the long history of some rhetorical concepts and practices that advocates and judges are still using today (not always for the better). https://www.uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/classical-rhetoric-and-contemporary-law/

"Classes teach you all about advanced topics within CS, from operating systems to machine learning, but there’s one critical subject that’s rarely covered, and is instead left to students to figure out on their own: proficiency with their tools."

Does any one know if there's an equivalent for #lawyers? #LawFedi #lawprofs #inhouse

We pulled some themes out of the first season of SideBar, all of them connected to democracy. We had the privilege to interview some wise guests, all of them doing amazing work. I learned something from each of them. I hope you will too.

Plus, we end with great advice from a number of our guests, ending with Joel Rogers - live, love, and laugh your asses off - or something close to that.

Northeastern Law Professor Wendy Parmet's book, Constitutional Contagion: COVID, the Courts, & Public Health was eye opening. There was a time when the public good trumped individual liberty in the public health arena. No more. The courts have essentially abandon legislating for the "general Welfare" laid out in Article I, s. 8.

Question for #lawprofs-- do you all submit articles during the off-season (like now), or do you only send out during the fall and spring submission seasons? #lrsubmissions #lawreview #law #legalscholars #academia

I need to go on a small rant. Excuse me in advance.

One of the critiques of the proposed California alternative pathway to licensure is that it will create a "two-tiered" system in which attorneys who become licensed without taking the traditional bar exam will face discrimination.

I hate to break it to the critics but the legal profession is already a tiered system rife with discrimination. Let me count the ways. 1/

I struggle with the balance between free speech and the flood of disinformation. I had the opportunity to read Jeff Kosseff's new book Liar in a Crowded Theater. He offers a persuasive argument about why false speech should be protected. As you can hear during the interview--I am still struggling with it. I understand his argument logically but emotionally I struggle.

Berkeley Law and the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology will be hosting an event to honor the career and impact (so far!) of our dear colleague @pamelasamuelson. The event will be held at Berkeley’s beautiful University Club at the California Memorial Stadium on Friday, November 3, 2023. https://www.law.berkeley.edu/research/bclt/bcltevents/symposium-celebrating-pamela-samuelson/ #lawfedi #lawprofs #LawSchool

#Immigration - I can't imagine a more timely or challenging topic. Cesar Garcia Hernandez joins SideBar to discuss the intersection of #criminal #law and #immigrationlaw. What can we do when it is a political positive to demonize immigration and those seeking to enter the United States.

It was wonderful to speak to Lisa Kloppenberg, the author of The Most Beloved Thing is Justice, about her friend & mentor Judge Dorothy Wright Nelson.

Judge Nelson barreled through glass ceilings. (She was on the short list for #SCOTUS in 1973!) It is a story of hope in the #law, something often missing today. It also describes how Judge Nelson's Bahá’í faith influenced her approach to the law & conflict resolution.

Lawyer Ex Machina tackles AI regulation week: several public hearings, an "inaugural" closed-door meeting with tech titans, CA's Delete Act moves forward, and a blogpost on GenAI and legal research by @thefordon #lawfedi #lawprofs #lawlibrarians #legaltech

I don't believe that the two-day bar exam measures competence to practice law. I think it is a measure of who is good at standardized exams. Based on a arbitrary score, an individual can open a practice and represent clients in areas never even tested on the exam.

The CA State Bar BoT will consider a proposal for an alternative pathway to licensure.

I hope you will read the full proposal. It's time we measured what matters.

When I had the chance to interview Dr. Peniel Joseph, a history professor at UTAustin, I asked him if SB17, the law banning #DEI initiatives, made him consider leaving Texas. He said, he wasn’t leaving. “Texas is ground zero for these fights.” I respect that answer and I wonder if I would give the same one.

I had the opportunity to speak with Nina Totenberg, @npr legal correspondent. After 50 years of reporting, she has a unique perspective on #SCOTUS.

We talked about #Dobbs, the lack of an ideological center, whether journalists needed to cover the court differently, institutional legitimacy, the Alabama redistricting case, and of course, the Court's #ethics issues.
