One of the most rewarding aspects of being a professor is watching that moment when your students realize the importance of proper attire.

Writing my final for next year and got to wondering: do law school finals have long-term psychological impacts? Am I the only one who still remembers the fact patterns from particularly brutal 1L finals almost 20 years later?

I need to take a minute to brag about my incredible Advanced Advocacy students @uidaholaw...

Taught Frigalament and Raffles this week. Cracks me up to realize how poorly I understood these cases in law school.

My favorite question from non-academics is: "how much are they paying you to publish your article?" 🤣

@Dschwarcz I'm assuming this particular affliction will be included in the DSM-IV at some point. Speaking as a fellow sufferer over the last three cycles.

Wishing all those taking the Bar Exam this week the best of luck! You're going to do great!! #uidaho #uidaholaw

Me in class: I know that today's reading [on the Parol Evidence Rule] made some of you want to throw up your hands and give up...
Student in office hours: It's like you were reading my mind.

In a WFH world, sometimes the most thought-provoking activity in my daily routine is watching the Roomba meander through my house, cleaning the same spot 30 times. Maybe this is just an IP professor affliction?

[Professor Murphy's Law @ProfMurphysLaw]

Big thank you to @SLULAW and @MizzouLaw, and particularly @yjl1789, for planning and hosting #WIPIP2022. I learned a lot, ate, drank, and was merry, and played Doctor Who Clue to a draw. Much appreciated!

[Professor Murphy's Law @ProfMurphysLaw]

Learned some nuggets on a variety of topics at #WIPIP2022: cannibalism (@AHGaon); Theseus's Ship (@matthewtbodie); FedEx furniture (@marklemley; @SariMazzurco); and jelly rolls (Elizabeth Townsend Gard).

Great to be back at #WIPIP2022 for another day of IP scholarship!
