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?

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/

First class of the semester done! ✅ Did I talk about how much I love science fiction? Yes. Did I complain about my own apartment building? Yes. Did I impart any wisdom about the law? Debatable.

Welcome to the fedi, @ScholasticaLawReviews!
https://mastodon.social/@ScholasticaLawReviews/111371856346312829
Scholastica's feed of journal openings was one of the most useful feeds (at least for me) on Twitter. Glad to see them here.

Still annoyed by the person who summarized (and seemingly dismissed) all concerns about #ScheduleA litigation as being about "bypassing procedural safeguards."
More like trampling on the defendants' constitutional rights.
Steamrolling the due process clause.
How do I capture this in a way that will convince non-proceduralists to care?

What advice would you give to someone writing their first law review article?
I agreed to be on a panel on this topic and I'm curious about what others think.

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!

Okay, fellow #LawProfs: Let's say you're looking back at your first article on a topic and you think about 90% of it is still right, but you've changed your mind on one issue. How do you address it in future work? Do you use the first person?
Like, do you say "in my previous article...." above the line? Only in footnotes? Approach it a totally different way?
Examples of this being done successfully would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
