The True Crimers, Law as Sport Watchers, and Perfect Moms have united to make the Lindsay Clancy trial YouTube livestream the most grotesque place on the internet. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts should feel infinite shame for creating this spectacle.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Happy to share that Developmental Evidence Rules is forthcoming in the California Law Review! What would it mean to take childhood seriously in evidence law? This article takes up that question.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

The best day-and-a-half of the year is always the Evidence Summer Workshop! We had everything from formal modeling to queer theory to analytic philosophy to doctrinal analysis. Thanks to my co-organizers Ed Cheng, Julia Simon-Kerr, and @alexnunn.bsky.social.
The ESW participants, about 40 beautiful people, lined up on the front steps of Vanderbilt Law School.
