So, looks like this Mizzou Tiger will be a Red Raider come August.

I will begin my formal legal studies in August at @TexasTech @TTU_Law

@Mizzou will always be my home—and I can’t reiterate how thankful I am that Mizzou Law gave me an offer as well.

With its May 4 issue, @TheManeater said goodbye to its print edition. J-School Tiger @agcolletto wrote the final letter from the editor. @Mizzou's "student voice of MU" will now be digital-only. #MizzouMade https://t.co/Q6AayZSn2D

Greatness isn't always hard to identify. Ben Ferencz carried it with him throughout his life. He'll be missed.

So, the past week and a half was the 1L Board of Barristers Mock Trial competition here at Texas Tech Law.

Out of 40+ teams— Teresa and I slugged it out to the Semifinals (3rd place)!

Couldn’t have asked for a better partner— excited for what is to come!

@DanMikaTweets @CoMissourian @mujschool Disclosure: not a 1A expert, just wrote a story about the topic.

I’m also not condoning what the student said via Snapchat in the slightest.

@DanMikaTweets Former @CoMissourian reporter & @mujschool graduate here (and current law student back in Texas).

There is actually a US Supreme Court case— Papish v. Board of Curators of the University of Missouri, (1973) that answers this question. Past story by me

#Mizzou will not be disciplining student who sent racial slur in Snapchat message, per email sent to students today by the university, becuase it is 1st Amendment-protected speech, among laws which the school is "constrained" by.

On #CharlesErickson's first day out of prison, his mom shared this photo with me.

She says Charlie helped train the dog, Amos, while in prison.

Erickson admitted to killing Kent Heitholt, but later said law enforcement coerced the confession. He claims he's innocent.

[Andy Herman @AndyHermanNFL]

The fact the NFL’s initial reaction was “you have 5 minutes to get ready” says so much. That’s so beyond cruel. Thankfully the teams stepped in because of all the awful decisions the NFL makes, that’s one of the worst and most egregious I’ve seen.
