The Supreme Court has denied cert in U.S. v. Hay, the 10th Circuit's pole camera surveillance case. No surprise; the split is lopsided, and the Court denies almost everything in 4A law these days. But it's an important issue, and a future circuit ruling the other way may change things cert-wise.

Enjoyed moderating this AALS panel of incredible experts, Dean Angela Onwuachi-Willig (BU) and Brian Leiter (Chicago), to discuss Law Faculty study conducted by AALS and NORC. It was recorded if you missed it.

I’m in DC today for my last regular AALS meeting as Prez. Then, it’s San Fran in January for the Annual Meeting to wrap up my service in this role. Hope to see many of you there.
