Really enjoyed APSA2026 in Boston. Great panel on Public Opinion and Courts, quality time with coauthors and, of course, we got the "Boyd Boyz" band back together!

While we were gone on our two week Yellowstone Road trip, my job market paper was finally published in PRQ! I collected data on all federal criminal jury trials from 2015-2019 in 22 districts to examine jury instructions practices. doi.org/10.1177/1065...

Dooley and I have had our moments in the past (dismissing my Research Design class twice in the same semester) but it was great to have him at the @emorypolisci.bsky.social senior reception yesterday.

Teaching freshmen about Zenger's Trial (among other things) and Andrew Hamilton's closing argument feels rather timely... constitutioncenter.org/the-constitu...

In today’s “One First,” I wrote about #SCOTUS’s 1866 decision in Ex parte Milligan—and the limits on martial law and military rule for which it still stands. (It’s also a good excuse to talk about the first “class photo” of the justices—from February 1867): www.stevevladeck.com/p/111-ex-par...

111. Ex parte Milligan and the Limits of Martial Law
Although it was later narrowed, the Supreme Court's 1866 repudiation of Civil War-era military commissions remains a bulwark against military authority wherever civilian courts are functioning
