Stories are a powerful tool for changing opinions—but they can work both ways, @michaelrulrich.bsky.social reminds us at the SLULaw health law symposium. Have to understand how counterstories may work, bring stories + data to persuade. @busph.bsky.social

#Obergefell // Roe: @profmohapatra.bsky.social reminds us not to think the constitutional backstop will always be there. Diversify strategies: statutory protections anywhere we can get them and in any area of law.

Anyone who thinks this attack on higher ed is going to stop with the humanities or courses on race and gender has another thing coming - Florida is already targeting classes on “Labor and Globalization” and “Introduction to East Asia” for removal from the curriculum
“When the state begins to regulate what we can teach at the level of the university,” said Katie Rainwater, whose class, Sociology of Gender, is marked for removal from the core curriculum, “then we have to question whether the university can serve its social function, which is to be a place of free inquiry.”

I made a Bluesky “law professor starter pack” (plus some historians and law journalists) It’s a bit random - it’s limited to 150, so I picked the first 150 that popped up on my list. It’s a start! go.bsky.app/7tDuy8C

Very exciting to celebrate the 75th anniversary of SMU Law School’s Legal Clinics. Amazing faculty and amazing students serve the community by serving clients who cannot afford legal representation. No better keynote speaker than Deborah Archer.
