Professors Howarth and Merritt are asking the right questions and no court should move forward with the NextGen UBE until we have satisfactory answers. Lest we forget the blunders of 2020 and 2025, "trust us," and "we promise we'll be ready," are simply not enough. www.abajournal.com/web/article/...

Teaching is an honor and a privilege, and a role that comes with a great deal of responsibility and people placing their trust in you. That he somehow thinks that stepping back from "public roles" but doesn't consider teaching as being one of those is absurd.

🚨One of the most terrifying elements of the Trump budget bill is NOT getting enough attention. The Bill will make ICE the biggest policing and incarceration agency in the US. Bigger than the FBI, with more jail space than the Federal Prison Bureau. It’s a budget for a police state.

The NCBE's role is not to tell law professors what to teach, according to the NCBE. But adaptations will be required. I really hope a lot of doctrinal professors are paying attention.

The decision a lot of universities face now is whether to: -- have their federal funding pulled because they stood on principle to protect their students and the integrity of their research, or -- have their funding pulled anyway just because they exist, regardless of how cravenly they submit.
