Today is a good day to remind folk about the Declaration on Free Access to Law (https://falm.info/declaration/).
It declares, among other things that: "Public legal information is digital common property and should be accessible to all on a non-profit basis and free of charge"

"Ask yourself: why would society tolerate a legal profession that outsources all its professional obligations to someone else? What value does such a profession provide? Why would anyone need or even want a lawyer if this is all a lawyer is good for?" #lawprofs #LawFedi

This is a long shot, but any #academics or #lawprofs have a textbook on public law (statutes, regulations, and interpretation) they like?
Even more of a long shot, one they think could be used for an undergraduate class?
FWIW I'm currently looking at this: https://www.westacademic.com/Eskridge-Gluck-and-Nourses-Statutes-Regulation-and-Interpretation-Legislation-and-Adm-9780314273567

Question for the law profs on here: What are the best non-Twitter ways to promote your law school center these days? As much as I personally hate using it, I think we're going to have to create an account for the center on LinkedIn. What else, if anything, should we be thinking about? #LawProfs #LawFedi

Fellow profs (especially law profs), I'm curious:
If you wanted to find all the articles a particular scholar had written, how would you go about doing that?

Mine is: Is this a patent paper or a utility patent paper?

Maybe #LawProfs can chime in. How do I find US court cases in which a media outlet was sued for defamation for reporting "A driver struck X" instead of "A car struck X"?

We have gotten the collection Classical Rhetoric & Contemporary Law: A Critical Reader over the finish line. An accessible text for scholars and students (#LawProfs, #argumentation, #LegalWriting, #TeamRhetoric)—and curious lawyers in #LawFedi. Introduces the complex relationship between ancient western thought and contemporary law and the long history of some rhetorical concepts and practices that advocates and judges are still using today (not always for the better). https://www.uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/classical-rhetoric-and-contemporary-law/

Taught Zeran vs. AOL today and set a timer on loop to go off every 2 minutes. It was annoying, which was the point!
Context: Zeran vs. AOL was a landmark Section 230 case. Zeran claimed to receive tons of hate calls, due to an anon user’s AOL posts falsely linking Zeran to offensive merchandise, w/call frequency peaking at 1 call every 2 min.
The big Q the court had to decide was whether S230 protected AOL from liability. Spoiler alert: They said yes!

We need a name for the property-protecting canon the Supreme Court used in Sackett, the recent Clean Water Act case, and I propose calling it the Sagebrush Canon.
The name is inspired, of course, by the Sagebrush Rebellion, which admittedly more involved public lands as opposed to public regulation of private lands. But the vibes line up.

From tort law to cheating, what is ChatGPT’s future in higher education?
It passed the bar exam, first with a mediocre score and then with a ranking among the top tier of newly minted lawyers. It scored better than 90% of SAT takers. It nearly aced the verbal section of the GRE — though it has room for improvement with AP Composition.
What's next? As one Berkeley Law professor summed up the task for his class: Try to “beat it.”

The journal _Argumentation_ has accepted “Reconceiving Argument Schemes as Descriptive and Practically Normative.” This thread summarizes our revision of work of #DouglasWalton et al. I argue here (and elsewhere) that #ArgumentSchemes are essential for making sense of #LegalArguments and #LegalReasoning. 1/6

I cover some important points about #pedagogy, #engagement and #technology in the classroom, as well as demonstrating how fun this can be!
If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below. Thanks to University of Suffolk for giving me the chance to talk about something I am so passionate about.

“Yale Law School students and faculty join[ed] counterparts from the Yale School of #Architecture and the Yale School of Management to create proposals for adding homes to #NewHaven. What helps set the course apart is a commitment from the state of #Connecticut for up to $3 million in funding for projects deemed feasible.”

This was our panel today at #aals2023 for the Associate Dean section. It was an honor to learn from Dr. Nickey Woods, Deepika Sharma, and Chalak Richards. We discussed learning and motivation theory, and I presented strategies for teaching with intrinsic motivations that promote mastery and personal formation (not just extrinsic motivations of grades and competition). I always welcome opportunities to bring clinical moves to the doctrinal crowds.

Back at work this week!
I will be giving a #learning and #teaching seminar next week (11th January 2023) through the University of Suffolk on #creativity #engagement and #technology in the classroom, titled 'Minions and the Makers Movement - Making Complex Learning More Accessible'.
I will be explaining how I have used #3DPrinting and other creative arts to increase understanding of complex areas of the #law - in areas such as #IP, #Trusts and #Wills and #Probate. Come along to hear about the advantages this new tech brings - and how badly I draw things on a whiteboard!

Yesterday I had the privilege of presenting research at a virtual workshop organized by the AALS Legislation section and @jessecross. I discussed an empirical project on #SupremeCourt briefing practices. In particular, I've studied how litigants have changed their approach to arguing statutory cases during the era of the rise of textualism.
We don't have much systematic data on briefs.
A few key findings and figures are in the posts below.

Received this note today from a woman law student who took a demanding seminar with me this just-ended term. Her contributions to class discussion were excellent, and I’m so pleased that I was able to foster her willingness to show and share her intelligence. Feedback like this keeps a prof going. (TLAL = Think Like a Lawyer, title of the seminar.) #lawTeaching #teaching #lawFedi #lawProfs

This case is a good example of why trademark lawyers should know some utility patent law (and vice versa). #LawProfs #LawTeaching
