The last few days have seen tremendous movement on President Trump’s EOs related to DEI work in schools. MDE issued guidance on Thursday and DoED issued an FAQ on Friday. www.ed.gov/media/docume...

How many consecutive minutes of children screaming during the morning routine before it’s considered elder abuse?

Not a bad little snowstorm coming into town.

The number of typos spotted and also created in this process is… high.

On a day like today, the question is whether I won the multi-circuit lottery when I found you!

I love my wife. Sometimes she makes hilarious mistakes. For Christmas, my daughters got Tonies, which (for those that aren’t deep into kids toys) are essentially RFID boomboxes. In the infinite pokemonization that has taken over kids toys, they come with figurines that sing songs.

Revisiting this… Yes, that child stayed up to her normal bed time. Yes, I’m also exhausted.

This tweet is causing me trauma in six minute increments.

Today is the first day back in daycare for my kids where both my wife and I work. God, please grant me the serenity to… yeah, I need the ellipses.

I stole this from Facebook but I don’t care.

Lawyer’s in January after returning to work and opening their inbox. Below the text is a picture of Ross talking to Chandler and Joey from friends with the text “WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!”

This is an excellent resolution. And one I would fail at so horribly. This morning, I listened to “Let it Go” from Frozen on repeat after taking my youngest to the doctor for her three year well visit.

This right here is the immediate risk of over-use of AI. But I do think there is room to use AI narrowly in legal practice today. And future iterations that connect the words to precedent (whether internal, or legal, or other) for review will help lawyers do the background details efficiently.

I’m super interested in the AI space (and speak on it regularly with my K-12 education clients). I think its current format is terrible for legal research. I do think there is tremendous opportunity in contract drafting/distilling long documents. For example, I used Notebook LM for Title IX.

I’m waiting for @dieworkwear.bsky.social to find a picture of me in my pink sport coat and roast me tbh.

Adam Blaylock @adamblaylock.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

… why??? I mean, I have small children so this experience is laughable right now. But occasionally, I can screw up my spouse’s coffee when I bring it to her in bed and we can enjoy 20 minutes without chaos. This sounds magical.

Every time a client and/or court system wants to use teams, I get grumpy.

Wow, some big momentum shifts there at the end. #GoLions

The best of old Twitter was shared experiences like sports. We’ve got a shot. #GoLions

Forfeiture captions are the best.

Today? The answer was more than 5 if you count video-conferencing as a call.

I did it this week. Do not recommend. The major Friday afternoon meeting adrenaline dump afterwards is also a super real thing.

Super proud of my Miller Johnson colleagues that were granted a 1292 motion by the District court yesterday in a case I’m (peripherally) involved in. Now, to get the Sixth Circuit to take the case… #appellateskies

Sean righteously stole a great IDEA version. It makes sense to me that Sean would vibe with the IDEA, because it’s literally all procedure. And pain, because it’s hard and important work, but pain nonetheless.

And another… I have a joke about teacher tenure, but you’ve gotta pay me for six and a half months to hear the punchline.

Adam Blaylock @adamblaylock.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Coming back to this because I have many of them… I have a joke about school newspapers, but this one is a closed forum.

I just had flashbacks to being asked to find the “Jackson” case. Narrator: No party included the name Jackson. In fact, the word Jackson did not appear in the opinion. However, the case did originate in Jackson County, Michigan.

I have a joke about being an education lawyer, but it can only be told in closed session.

Man, the snow squalls in Detroit are pretty wild today.

This reminds me that in Michigan, Court of Appeals decisions from before unification in the 90s. Strange quirk.

I’m reminded of Christmas 2013. My step-father was very sick (he would pass 1/19/24), and I wasn’t traveling to see him for fear I’d make him sicker. I had a Jewish friend come and spend Christmas Day with me. We cooked steaks. Non-traditional, but so memorable.

Reupping this because it’s the hope that kills you.

At 3 am, sitting in my daughter’s room because she wants company when she falls back asleep…

Book entitled “There Are Dads Way Worse Than You: Unimpeachable Evidence of your Excellence as a Father” with a picture of Darth Vader and his son, Luke Skywalker, and Luke’s hand detached from his arm like it was cut off.

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Education Lawyer: You need to conduct an MDR before you decide whether to empty the cup.

Have you ever litigated in Minnesota? I did some research once and my mind was blown.

I just saw a Dan Campbell/Sam Bernstein law firm commercial and I’m ready to bite a knee cap now.
