Not a real doctor; real worm.

I do radio (sparetherock.com) and stuff. Now Saint Paul; formerly Austin and western Mass, among other places.

Not your lawyer, but I might be your adjunct law professor. In-house lawyer by day. What I say here doesn’t necessarily reflect any employer’s views. Duh.

At about 130,000 words, it is by a lot the longest thing I’ve written (granted, it’s a casebook so a lot of it is stuff other people wrote). I think it’s good, and probably of interest not just to people teaching or taking the class?

It’ll be available for ordering next summer sometime.

Finished the draft of Recreation & Risk, coming out on Carolina Academic Press next year for fall adoption. It’s a casebook based on my course of the same name, addressing law related to amusement parks, haunts, water parks, etc. You can see more about it at the site I created for it!

For anyone who thinks about such things: Why would a (almost certainly) predatory journal publish a very stupid (possibly AI-drafted) article under the name of someone who did not write it, and misidentifying that person's department (but not their university)? What is the angle?

#Introduction

Hi everyone!

I teach at Suffolk Law in Boston. My interests include Civ Pro, Trusts & Estates & PR. (I’m also covering Family Law as a new prep in Spring ‘24). I teach remotely via Zoom so I’m always interested in teaching tips.

When I’m not in law prof mode, I’m baking, gardening or traveling. 😊

I’m old enough to remember TV and print advertisements where new and improved products were compared to the old, tired, less useful “brand X,” so I’m finding all this latest dumbfuckery utterly hilarious.

I would encourage you to spend $55 a year (at least) and subscribe to Dispatch MSP to get Mary Lucia's column. And/or pickup a copy (free, but give them $ anyway) at your local store (check the grocery store vestibule) to get the scan code for Mary's Spotify mix for each column,because it's fantastic. It will also make you mad that there's not a radio station that will just give Mary the keys to the studio and a bunch of money to just come be Mary.,
