"In a flurry of filings, Kirkland & Ellis LLP partner Elyse Dorsey and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP counsel Angela Landry accused Wright, a former Federal Trade Commission member, of violating Virginia's anti-SLAPP law with his defamation suit, which the women in their jointly filed counterclaim call a 'transparent attempt to punish' them for their protected speech." - Law360

New SLSA Blog Post: Towards a Subversive Legal Education
Having previously argued why a historical approach to law is necessary, my new SLSA blog post explores how we can achieve this in Law Schools and how my new textbook can help.
Read the blog post at: https://slsablog.co.uk/blog/blog-posts/towards-a-subversive-legal-education/
For more information on the textbook see: https://www.cambridge.org/highereducation/books/a-historical-introduction-to-english-law/B058B16EDA67ED66745DB7EDFF5B96C2#overview

It seems like every law school *tells* faculty candidates that their school is "collegial."
But, uh...that's not always the case.
How can a school that is *actually* collegial effectively convey that fact to faculty candidates?

Just had a conversation with an attorney who is interesting in developing a design patent course they could teach as an adjunct.
I am 100% in favor of more design patent education and would be happy to talk to anyone else who's interested in trying to pitch something like this to a law school.

"The documents show how Scalia Law has offered the justices a safe space in a polarized Washington — an academic cocoon filled with friends and former clerks, where their legal views are celebrated, they are given top pay and treated to teaching trips abroad, and their personal needs are anticipated, from lunch orders to, in Justice Gorsuch’s case, house hunting."

In case your inbox is as nuts as mine as the whole world boots back up today, and ICYMI, #LawSchools #USNews protest evidently having significant effect. Among things, USNews says the 2023-24 rankings will "rely less on surveys of schools’ reputations submitted by academics, lawyers and judges," and "will no longer consider indicators of student debt, or the schools’ spending per student." #LawProfs #LawFedi https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/02/us/after-boycott-from-law-schools-us-news-world-report-changes-ranking-system.html
