  7. 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). uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/c

  9. Question for #lawprofs-- do you all submit articles during the off-season (like now), or do you only send out during the fall and spring submission seasons? #lrsubmissions #lawreview #law #legalscholars #academia

  10. Anyway, there might be a #LawStudentNote about how the MPEP needs to change after Tam/Brunetti, if anyone is interested.

  12. Question for everyone out there who is interested in the law:

    What types of content makes a social-media platform useful or valuable for you?

    What types of law-related content would you like to see more of in the fedi?

  14. Okay, so I know that everyone is still tired after finals and is not even ready to think about this stuff yet. But, if you're interested, I've started tagging ideas for law student notes/comments with #LawStudentNote.

    Others in the #LawFedi, feel free to join me.

    I always blank when students ask me if there are any good areas they could write about, so I figure I'll make notes as I go.

  15. Help me out, #LawFedi?

    I'm trying to put together a list of IP journals that accept submissions from students who are currently enrolled in other schools.

    E.g., the The University of Illinois Journal of Law, Technology & Policy (JLTP), which @jsherkow mentioned here before: illinoisjltp.com/submissions

    What other journals can I direct my students to?

    Thanks in advance!

  16. To all the #LawStudents

    This is a great example of how your graduation writing requirement doesn't have to just be a box that you check.

    You can make a difference.

  18. 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

  20. Thanks in part to great suggestions I've had over the last couple days about making my Mastodon experience even better, I'm following a bunch of folks from #lawfedi #philosophy and #CommStudies. Just sayin in case I look like some kinda crazy follow-bot. I use hashtags to post on and track topics I'm interested in. Follow back if any of these are your gigs:

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.”

  25. 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

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

  29. 'Tis the season for student course evaluations.

    Seems like a good time to share this video of the "Validity and Equity Problems in Law School Teaching Evaluations" panel that was organized by @irinamanta: youtube.com/watch?v=paoeE5D2Ui

  31. I long to give as an exam question: write an exam question that you think would elicit answers worth reading. [I'd hear from the powers that be so fast it would make my head spin, but it would be a great exam question.] #teaching #lawTeaching #lawProfs

  33. #Appellate Nibs

    Today kicks off what will be a weekly series of short appellate practice tips offered for fun and conversation, mostly aimed at the newer #lawyer and #lawstudent crowd, as well as practice-oriented #lawprofs. Many will concern #legalwriting or #oralargument. Some will be more general thoughts on #law practice.

    Quick Notes:

    (1) My work is chiefly in the Oregon state appellate courts and in the 9th Circuit. Rules of practice vary. So will your experience, so please chime in!
