Leeloo Dallas multipass!

Rewatching the Fifth Element after decades. This movie is truly a masterpiece.

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

This.

For me, at least, there's a specific degree of disagreement that I usually need to reliably subscribe to a magazine or commentary website. If I agree with the content too often, it's boring. If I agree too rarely, it's likely a one-time exercise just to understand other views.

A, but I also live here, so…

Depends on the time of year. But probably A or E. Love visiting the Keys. And the Panhandle beaches are awesome.

@whignewtons The only type of Chevron deference I support!

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

Some smart lawyer here yesterday said Bari Weiss’ first call after hearing about Pelley’s comment was to David Ellison asking to get Legal’s input on the possible consequences of firing Pelley under his contract.

“For Cause” tells you that guy was right.

I wonder how much money Pelley cost himself?

[Ilya Shapiro @ishapiro]

The Dems want to “reform” a Supreme Court that’s not broken. They don’t like how it rules sometimes—I get it—but the solution to that is what it was in FDR’s day: not packing, but winning elections and tus getting to make more appointments.

Reading a legal opinion when suddenly you're like. https://t.co/EsI3m1eObJ

i’m pretty sure vrabel already made a boutte call

People in Alabama may not live longer than those in Virginia but the cumulative two to three years they save in not scrolling down lists of states to find theirs means they live much better.

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

Steelers fans are ok with this.

MYLES GARRETT TO THE RAMS

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

@KonstantCap Don’t disagree, although there is a trick to the practice of law. 20% of us just have our brains wired that way. For the rest, certainly possible to master it on your own.

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

3rd year of law school is unnecessary.

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

My own proposed reform would be to allow a 2-year law degree—call it an LL.B., like the old-style law degrees—and allow schools to offer students a two-year LL.B. path instead of a 3-year J.D. program, with states allowing grads of either to sit for the bar.

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

@Trink44 Peggy gets it.

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

@DeTahmineh @Judge_Leben Yup

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

@ChiLawTales But the third year is the easiest. And most pointless.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

And extreme poverty is 90% of the population.

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

@nextgenacela Considering how much gets decided career-wise by the end of the first year or beginning of the 2nd, this ain’t exactly wrong.

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

@Judge_Leben @DeTahmineh That’s basically what I did on my win during my third year. I spent most of my time in another city working for a firm and flew back to take exams. But I was paying my school for that third year and making summer associate money when I could have been working full time.

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

@grainregularity Any citation to the Green Bag is to be commended, but also a Sharfman citing/siting! Delicious!

[Clegg Ivey @cleggerama]

Can confirm.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES (2023) had all the ingredients of a forgettable franchise launch. Instead, it understood that the appeal of D&D has never been epic lore. It’s a group of lovable idiots somehow surviving their own terrible plans
