Health insurance companies routinely discriminate against hair loss conditions, denying coverage on the basis they're "cosmetic." @staceytovino.bsky.social and I have written a paper arguing this decision is wrong and unfairly burdens women and racial minorities. Check it out: shorturl.at/ufZzL.

Our OU Law 2025 Oxford Program had an amazing first week! We had a beautiful opening gala dinner at Trinity College and a fun and engaging tour of Legal London. (Our bus even had a freakishly on point license plate). I'm so grateful to be here with our awesome students and faculty.

I have a new op-ed about AI and law practice out in the ABA Journal today in which I take a matter-of-fact (albeit mildly cynical) view on what the next few years will look like. As I note in the piece, I think hang-wringing philosophical debates about AI are no longer useful. Check it out.

Horse of a Different Color: In the age of AI, lawyers must set aside resistance to change
At the turn of the 20th century, citizens were confronted with a terrifying new technology that threatened to upend society and transform a multitude of industries. Automobiles—originally known as “horseless carriages”—had appeared on the consumer market and threatened to replace horses as the dominant method of transportation. It was not a welcome innovation for large segments of the population.
