“The government should not punish lawyers and law firms for the clients they represent, absent specific findings that such representation was illegal or unethical. Punishing lawyers for their representation and advocacy violates the First Amendment and undermines the Sixth Amendment.”

What a night! Thanks to everyone who came to the Brandeis Medal Dinner. Photos with Justice Sotomayor will come soon. But here’s a pic with very special guests: Governor Beshear; my parents, Susan and Mark, who came in from NYC; Shane; and JB!

Being part of the Louisville legal community is a huge perk of serving as Dean of the Brandeis School of Law. Thank you, Louisville Business First, for this recognition. www.bizjournals.com/louisville/n...

Enjoyed celebrating Justice Brandeis’s birthday yesterday with his great grandson, Paul Rausenbush. Of course we needed a photo with young Louis. 😉

Get your Kleenex out. A group of Chicago area Rabbis attended the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, the six year old Palestinian-American boy who was brutally murdered by his landlord due to his ethnicity and religion. Rabbi Ari Hart explains why the Rabbis attended the funeral in the screenshot below.

Rabbi Ari Hart, the Imam at the boys’s Mosque, and Rabbi Hodi

"The Jerusalem Talmud teaches that the Jewish people are obligated to comfort the mourners of our people and of all people because of darchei shalom - the paths of peace.
Today, a group of rabbis of us went to the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a six year old Muslim boy who was killed in his home by his depraved landlord because he was Palestinian and Muslim.
This picture is with the imam of the mosque where the funeral was held. We met with the Imam, heard from the father, and stood with the boy's community as they mourned this horrific loss. We witnessed the pain. We expressed our shock and condemnation of the attack. We wept.
I can't say that it was simple to be there.
These are not simple times.
But the murder of a six year old because of his faith and his identity is not complicated. It is a heinous crime. And that's why we went today.
These days it really feels like the world has l These days it really feels like the world has lost its way.
But I can't give up on trying, yearning,
