I've been thinking about how to connect legal scholars with practitioners. So, I'm starting a monthly digest for law-firm/bar-association CLE/training managers to identify profs who're available to speak on practice-relevant topics. More info at PracticalScholarship.com. Feel free to share/repost!

I recently ran into Louisiana appellate lawyer Bradley Guin in the airport, and he asked me if I minded doing a little appellate lawyer interview. I thought the questions he posed were really good. He's just posted my answers in case anyone is interested. bradguin.substack.com/p/an-intervi...

When you pick up a cold record and an adverse judgment, what’s your process for finding the one or two issues worth fighting for, and how do you resist the urge to argue everything?

One thing I do at the beginning of a case is to sit with trial counsel and listen to all the issues the trial lawyer identified as problematic at trial. I call this process the “airing of grievances” after a joke in the TV show Seinfeld about a made-up holiday called “Festivus.”

Not all of those are worthy of appeal, and it might be that I find an issue that the trial lawyer didn’t really think about, but most of the time the person who was there at trial knows the couple of things that made the difference. Listening to them talk about the case helps me focus in on what really want wrong. Plus, I’ve heard from my co-counsel that it is cathartic to get to complain about the trial to a sympathetic ear after a tough result (I’m usually hired when we don’t like the result at trial!).

July 1, 1776: (Midday): John Adams takes to the floor of Congress to sum up the case for independence. His remarks constitute an extended rebuttal of John Dickinson's argument that the measure is too hasty and will tend to divide the colonies and invite more brutal British warmaking. 1/9

i don't have time to skim, did they rule broadly or narrowly under EQP? is the door shut for good or are they still slow dripping it?

Today illustrates why I am on the side of what I think is an obviously correct point: court reform that declaws these 6 justices is just a starting point in necessary reforms to fix our country, but it is an immediate reform that has to be carried out ASAP for any other to be possible and durable.

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

“I believe you may be thinking about the ‘Agatean Wall,’” said Mr. Slant smoothly. “This carefully and successfully ensures that there will be no breach of confidentiality should, for example, one part of an organization come into possession of privileged information which could conceivably be used by another department for unethical gain.”
“This is fascinating! How does it work, exactly?” said Vetinari.
“People agree not to do it,” said Mr. Slant.
“I’m sorry? I thought you said there is a wall—” said Vetinari.
“That’s just a name, my lord. For agreeing not to do it.”
“Ah? And they do? How wonderful. Even though in this case the invisible wall must pass through the middle of their brains?”

It's unclear to me whether SCOTUS wrote Hunter v. US as a matter of constitutional law or as a function of being the apex court for federal criminal matters. the distinction matters bc if it's the former, it'll bind the states; the latter, not so.
