It’s gotten so dry here that even the raccoons dragged a sprinkler into my yard to try to water it.

I got to argue at the Texas Supreme Court today. Always a pleasure!

On my way to lunch two people behind me were loudly discussing their strategy for impeaching a witness at an upcoming hearing. Maybe not a loud, outdoor convo topic.

It’s 101 degrees with 20 mph winds. Now I know what it’s like to live in a hair dryer.

Well the flood floated the collection.

I didn’t. But I was there right after the great flood.

Just comparing to the brutalist concrete bunker that was my law school. Which I guess fit the vibe.

In honor of July 4th, looks like my office is revolting against tyranny:

I’ve reached the age where—if I want to read a book by a pool—I have to take both reading and sun glasses.

Another beautiful Spring day where I walk outside and wonder: Is it lightly raining or are birds peeing on my head?

Based on the spam texts I keep getting there are apparently roving gangs of roofers and tree trimmers every week that just wander my neighborhood looking for problems to solve. You’d think by now they’d have fixed it all. 🤔

You think AI invented hallucinated cases? I’ve had lawyers telling me about nonexistent cases for years.

The Anders brief. No, not that one. The kind where I accidentally misspell my name in the signature block.

Jody Sanders @jodyssanders.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

8. The foot fetish brief. Has all the citations in footnotes. They say it’s about readability. But we know what’s up.

7. The Duolingo brief. I should understand what they are talking about. They use words I know. But I need to run it through some kind of translator to understand what they are trying to say.

5. The creme brûlée brief. On the surface it seems supported and crisp. But dig just a little bit and… 6. The alternate reality brief. It seems to be describing a case that took place in a completely different universe than yours.

Jody Sanders @jodyssanders.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

3. The Mr. Potatohead brief. Technically it has all the parts. But they’re in all sorts of weird spots. 4. The Frankenbrief. Clearly someone chopped up pieces of a bunch of other briefs and, unfortunately, brought them back to life in some weird uncomfortable form.

Jody Sanders @jodyssanders.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

2. The dadbod brief. Maybe it could have been an Olympian. But it’s got some extra here there and in the middle. And honestly, with all those other little cases running around, who’s got time and energy for that? The angry dadbod brief has a bunch of weird capitalization, bold, and italics.

Jody Sanders @jodyssanders.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

I’ve been working on a helpful taxonomy to describe the types of briefs I see in cases. Here’s a 🧵 1. The Olympian brief. You see it maybe once every few years. Peak form and performance. Lean, disciplined, top of its game. May involve performance enhancing drugs.

Somehow in January I did twice as much as I expected yet only accomplished half of what I’d planned.
