@ProfRobAnderson Professor: Student A, what was the main issue the court faced in Smith v. Jones?
Student A: I'm sorry, can you repeat the question?
Professor: My question was, "Shouldn't that black nine go on the red ten?"

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@ProfRobAnderson I find that asking the students to prove a few conjectures in complex analysis really improves the quality of answers.

@chrishampsonlaw Amen to that from a fellow evangelical!

@jesqa_ Because these kinds of endorsements let people traditionally served by the Democrats know that the Democrats are no longer their party. So they stay home or vote for Trump in the hope that something will change.

@OrinKerr In tension with the moon-aliens are voting for Kamala in droves meme . . . .

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@ProfRobAnderson I'm pretty sure @scottjshapiro is keeping close tabs on this.

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@jesqa_ Me too!

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@ProfRobAnderson I like "I will be out of the office until [insert date 3 months ago] and not responding to emails until my return."

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@scottjshapiro Wait. Isn't that an analytic statement?

@chrishampsonlaw Congratulations!

@OrinKerr @ProfRobAnderson Erie v. Baxendale.

@scottjshapiro Especially now with Zoom, traveling to the actual site is even more important.

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@scottjshapiro So prescient given what's happening with global warming.

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@scottjshapiro I was at one once where someone had a comment *and* a question.

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@ProfRobAnderson I think demand of publicly-traded corporations for legal services from Biglaw firms is pretty inelastic to price. I would bet it is more elastic among high-net worth clients where ownership and control are more tightly yoked.

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@ProfRobAnderson It's hard to believe that principal-agent problems do not infect the corporation-counsel relationship. Corporate managers play with a lot of "free" money and I suspect a lot of it is siphoned off by law firms.

[David Hasen @david_hasen]

@thompsonb2569 Amen.
