Official release date for Debt's Grip: Risk and Consumer Bankruptcy, from University of California Press!! In it, @boblawless.bsky.social, Deborah Thorne, and I draw on 11 years of court records and surveys from bankruptcy filers to describe what it means to live in financial precarity in the US.

Law Professors! Attending AALS 2026? Are you publishing (in 2025/2026) a book that is based on data you collected via a social science empirical technique? Think about submitting to this call for proposals for the book panel organized by Law and the Social Sciences Section. Email me if you have Qs.

Happy Caturday. Bodhi is that cat -- the one who removes the ornaments from the tree and looks very pleased about it. 😼🎄

Day 3 (for me) of the #bookchallenge. Challenge = choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order (and, for me, it may take more than 20 consecutive days). No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #booksky
