Wow, I don't even teach defamation and the privacy torts (largely because Next Gen won't test on them, at least not on defamation. I do plan to offer a defamation law seminar soon.) We have 5 credits of torts over two semesters, and we meet for 2 hours per week in the Fall, so I move pretty slowly.

Duty already? I'm still slogging through the intentional torts.

Only on this site can you get away with maligning someone like this without explanation or consequence. We all vote with our feet.

Haven't read the opinion, but it sounds like Alito is trying to assert something like the unclean hands doctrine. I agree it's awkward (at best) for a Supreme Court Justice to imply that a lower Court has been so incompetent as to be manipulable in that way. Doesn't necessarily mean he's wrong . . .

I went to law school in the 80s and have been teaching for almost 30 years. Literally yesterday, I finally threw away the old "Nutshells" that I used in law school.

I've never understood why the popular media fawns over Trump so. You'd think he owns MSNBC.

Supreme Court's Alabama redistricting decision could encourage more chaos, experts warn
The court's repudiation of a lower court decision was only the latest case in which it has played a role in changing the congressional maps for Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, and California.

I don't know him personally, but I think he should be ok -- I don't think race or gender ideology is his field. I'm confident he thought through that before signing on.
