Guess what all these women have in common? They are all Chief Justices (or soon will be).

[Dan Epps @danepps]

Entry-level Law prof job seekers: AALS FAR submissions are due in 10 days. As my procrastination today, I thought I'd provide some tips as I come off of two years as hiring chair here at @WashULaw. Here, in no particular order, some advice and thoughts, big picture + small bore:

#NLRB: "We accordingly overrule Baylor and IGT and, upon careful analysis of the terms of the #nondisparagement and #confidentiality
provisions at issue here, we find them to be unlawful,
and thus find the #severance agreement proffered to #employees unlawful." #employmentlaw

[NLRB @NLRB_Board]

Today, the Board issued a decision in McLaren Macomb, returning to longstanding precedent holding that employers may not offer employees severance agreements that require employees to broadly waive their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.

An editor looks at the work as the ultimate reader will. She can see where arguments aren’t as understandable as the original writer thought. She can suggest ways to make language clearer and arguments more persuasive. 2/

"The approach required a lot of careful focus on the #AI output, which also made it very useful for #student #learning. As we discussed in our whitepaper, #teaching an AI to improve an essay is a #pedagogical method that can produce new insights." #education #writing

Happy #LawyerCat day for all who celebrate!! Today is the 2nd anniversary of Lawyercat. To celebrate, here is the full and complete hearing from start to finish, with a few seconds at the end that you haven't seen! For the next year, may you all be here live and #NotaCat.

It is often harder to respond to a poorly written brief. The opponent has to figure out what arguments he’s responding to without accidentally suggesting better arguments than the original brief’s writer actually intended. 1/

At a time when it seems like our entire industry is shrinking and doing more with less, we’re making a big bet on robust journalism and substantially increasing the size of the newsroom. Come and join us. Shoot me a note if you want to chat.

[John Hudson @John_Hudson]

big news for font freaks: Times New Roman is being phased out at the State Department & replaced by Calibri. Secretary Blinken sent a cable to all embassies today directing staff not to send him any more papers with Times New Roman. Subject: "The Times (New Roman) are a-Changin"
