"After a month away, we have much to catch up on. Yes, it has been over a month since my last post in November! I wrapped up many writing deadlines during my December break and spoke with a few reporters on different matters including Karen Zraick at the New York Times about the ethics of amicus briefs. You can read more about that below at headline #1."
"If you're attending the Association of American Law Schools Annual Meeting this week in New Orleans, I'd love to say hello. You can find me at the Professional Responsibility Main Program and Awards Ceremony on Thursday from 2:35-3:50PM where I'll be moderating a panel discussion on "The Law Professor's Role in Protecting our Legal System" with Scott Cummings (UCLA), Matthew Diller (Fordham), Rachel Lopez (Temple) & Milan Markovic (Texas A&M)."
"Now, let's get started with the headlines. You get twenty-five(!) this week to make up for the December pause. (Believe it or not, that's narrowed down from more than forty I collected.) Don't forget to keep scrolling down to the very end for all the "First Monday" extra features, including job postings, recommended reading, legal ethics in pop culture, trivia, and more. Enjoy!"
