@NYPLRecommends Thank you, these sound great!

@alisoneroman What prompted/convinced you to get one?

[Anne Conroy @anneconroy95]

@sconnell410 Would love to #AbolishtheBar, but while the exam exists law students shouldn't put off mastering the skills required to pass until the last minute (it just stinks that those skills are totally unrelated to actually being a lawyer). Kudos for starting this mastery early, Sarah!

@smmarotta At least the comments don’t say “cut bc the judge is too stupid to get the point”?? Just searching for anything to not make this the worst?? Oof.

@michaelkarlik Thanks for writing this story. Have to imagine the 10th Circuit had an easier time writing candidly about a magistrate judge (with a term limit) than they would have in a case involving complaints against a district judge (with life tenure).

@RachelGurvich Maybe a letter / MTC re production of text messages. Commonly, parties agree to produce "documents" (defined to include texts) & one side produces emails that reference relevant texts (e.g., "sent u a text about the deal timeline"), but the texts themselves are not produced.

@natevander100 @EveryVoiceNC This is terrible. In case you haven’t thought of this, maybe you could ask your law school dean to call the bar examiners? Might not sway things, but you never know.

@Kolyin @steve_vladeck @Immanentize "1st Draft" is bolded and highlighted at the very top

@NYPLRecommends Hi - I'm interested in a book about the history of Chinatown / The Five Points in Manhattan that reads like Boys in the Boat or an Edward Rutherford book. Any recs?

[Anne Conroy @anneconroy95]

@NYPLRecommends I've read Ng and Bennett so will try Swann! Thanks so much!!

40 years ago today, Sandra Day O'Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court. #OTD

@sconnell410 I appreciate your commitment to incorporating leather pants into your summer attire.

Is it time? ⏲️

I have been waiting *all day* to tell you the story of Sarah T. Hughes –

1st woman federal judge in Texas, 3rd in the federal judiciary as a whole, and the only woman to have sworn in a U.S. President (as you might recall). 👇

Let the thread commence...

Brilliant at times, but too often the language and dialogue (and cliche inserted poetry stanzas) made caricatures of the characters and read like a wannabe imitation of To Kill a Mockingbird.

[Anne Conroy @anneconroy95]

Inspired by @ccb3 to use a thread to track my 2021 books. Was late to the party reading #TheVanishingHalf. Gave me lots to think about, but I finished it thinking the characters lacked depth.

Love a good, multi-generational family saga.

@LidskyLidsky Any predictions for what the next 20 years of your research will focus on?
