at the Consumer Law Scholars Conference, @[email protected] recommended that we turn out scholarship into a one page policy memo (with bullet points) and then circulate it to policy makers.

The one time I tried that, @[email protected] agreed to change course on #studentloans and #bankruptcy

@qjurecic
Yes. Yes it does.

Me: No serial killer would ever lure me into their murder van. I'm too smart for that.

Murderer:

I have reached the stage in the semester in which I am repeatedly misspelling my own name.
Can't stop thinking of this @scottjshapiro post:
Going through an old bank of multiple choice questions and wondering whether students find it endearing or distracting when various references are school-specific.
Just re-read Montejo v. Louisiana (2009) and wow--it is an incredibly terrible opinion.
5-4 the Supreme Court just eviscerates the distinction between the Sixth Amendment right to counsel and the prophylactic right to counsel under Miranda.
What’s the equivalent of #lawtwitter here? Hey law folks!

Spending some more time lurking here and reading posts by #lawyers and #lawprofs
Seeing a lot of old #lawtwitter and #academictwitter friends.

But it seems like the culture here is different enough from the #birdsite that I’m going to hold off a bit before tooting more regularly so that I don’t accidentally violate the social norms of this platform.

Just logging on for the first time since creating this account, and I am very happy to see so many familiar faces from Twitter!
