Blaszczyk on the U.S. Law Teaching Market
Matt Blaszczyk (University of Georgia School of Law) has posted Field Notes from the U.S. Law Teaching Market on SSRN. Here is the abstract: The U.S. law teaching market is highly competitive and traditionally reliant on specific institutional signals. For non-traditional candidates, accessing the unwritten norms of this ecosystem can be challenging. This collection of notes functions as a strategic roadmap to demystify the process.

This paper analyzes 669 entry-level law faculty hires and unpacks the often unwritten rules of the U.S. law teaching market. The goal: make tacit knowledge about legal academic hiring more accessible to aspiring professors. spkl.io/633267Mqjy #LegalEducation #LegalAcademia

Good luck to everyone going on the law teaching market! I wrote up 65 pages of notes with basic information, advice I received, question banks, some rough empirical analysis, and more. It’s a work in progress but hopefully a useful starting point. ssrn.com/abstract=721...

Blaszczyk on AI, Creative Work, and Politics
Matt Blaszczyk (University of Georgia School of Law) has posted Courts Won&#8217;t Settle the Fight Over AI and Creative Work: Politics Will (Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, July 14, 2026) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Currently, more than 100 lawsuits are making their way through United States courts, testing whether AI companies may use copyrighted works to train their models without permission or payment to copyright owners.

Just because something's wrong doesn't make it illegal — and copyright law won't offer appropriate solutions for the problem of AI training on unlicensed creative works, writes Matt Blaszczyk @mmblaszczyk.bsky.social. One way out of the legal quagmire could lie in political action. ⬇️

More than 100 lawsuits are making their way through US courts, testing whether AI companies may use copyrighted works to train their models. Litigation won't yield bright-line answers anytime soon, and courts are unlikely to deem AI training “theft,” explains @mmblaszczyk.bsky.social.

“At every stage of the process—downloading data, storing data, filtering, then with outputs, at every stage there is possible infringement. The question is if they’re doing it for the machine to learn or to generate outputs." —Research Fellow Matt Blaszczyk www.businessinsider.com/grok-workers...

Pointing out illiberal and anti-human rhetoric and myth-busting AI hype is important. But humanist rhetoric around AI is also weaponized, and digging into politicians and corporations that use it to defend the status quo is crucial, writes @mmblaszczyk.bsky.social.
