Hey all! I hope you come to New Orleans for AALS 2026. I know @brianlfrye.bsky.social and I would love to see you.
If you are going, stay at the Loew’s rather than the Hilton. ICE is currently terrorizing New Orleans’ immigrant communities, and they’re staying at the Hilton Riverside. 1/2

I would complain about Scholastica increasing its already absurd prices for running a glorified mail merge, but who can blame them for taking candy from a baby? As always, we law professors know how to solve every market failure, except the ones in the markets we directly control.
Scholastica is just a fancier version of Mailchimp. Why are we even having to pay $6.60, let alone $7.35?

Attorneys for Jan. 6 defendants face lawsuits for plagiarism
A Texas-based researcher produced a 26-page study for a defense lawyer in a Jan. 6 Oathkeepers case to argue for a change of venue, which she alleges was "pirated" by other attorneys.

I’m really struggling to see the problem here. Unless you’re a therapist, I guess.
I had a 45 year old rideshare driver tell me recently that he uses AI for therapy.
I asked him which one. He said “Grok— I like the voice it uses, the tone doesn’t talk down to me like ChatGPT’s does.”
He bragged that he had a 4 hour “therapy session” talking to Grok.
Chat, are we cooked?
