If anyone knows a lawyer in the Boston area who might be looking for work, is willing to try litigation, and doesn’t mind the absolute lack of prestige and barely adequate compensation of what I do, please send them my way.

1Ls are often disappointed that Criminal Law is about the elements of crimes rather than police investigations, although this could be helped by having more cop shows about the Model Penal Code.

You know what always make appellate briefs better? Adding more and more words into each sentence, like an orange in a mulled wine studded with cloves. #OldManGrumblings

I wrote the first reported Maryland opinion that had emoji in it. But they appeared in the block quote of the text messages that formed an important part of the record--they weren't part of our analysis. I agree with Judge Dillard that we want opinions to be accessible, but most of all professional.

Every soccer match should be followed by appeals of each foul. That is the only way soccer can become more like appellate litigation, which I understand to be the goal of all.
