Fred's work on generalization was so insightful, emphasizing that equality sometimes requires treating different things the same. His book "Profiles, Probabilities and Stereotypes" had a big impact on my thinking. Such a generous colleague and friend. I miss him already.

Prof. Frederick Schauer — a “giant” in the legal academy who influenced scholarship on freedom of speech, constitutional theory, evidence and jurisprudence — has died. #UVALaw community members remember his life and work. https://t.co/U668xfUhcw

@beidelson and I have posted our new paper on race-conscious admissions after SFFA: https://t.co/bvZfS2xJ29. Below is a series of tweets from Ben that provide an excellent description. We'd love to hear what you think.

@Debbie_Hellman and I have posted a new paper on race-conscious admissions after the Supreme Court's decision in SFFA: https://t.co/tifsvXrn0N. We explore what the decision does and doesn't allow and what it says about the broader state of equal protection law. 1/

Looks super interesting. So glad @VirginiaLawRev is publishing it.

[Danny Wilf-Townsend @drmtown]

Excited to say that my article Deterring Unenforceable Terms will be coming out in the @VirginiaLawRev. It builds on the great empirical work on unenforceable terms in recent years, focusing on the normative case and policy details for affirmative penalties for contract drafters:

I don't know how I missed this. Thanks @lsolum for the "highly recommended, download it while it's hot" recommendation for my article "Diversity by Facially Neutral Means" -- which is here: https://t.co/3Hjnc0B64l and forthcoming from @VirginiaLawRev

[Deborah Hellman @Debbie_Hellman]

And thank you @RisaGoluboff for being such a fabulous dean.

I am also so grateful for the generosity of the family of Theo Danzig. May his memory be a blessing.

[Deborah Hellman @Debbie_Hellman]

I couldn't be prouder. Julianna has wrestled with such an important topic in such a thoughtful way. @BowdoinCollege

[Bowdoin College @BowdoinCollege]

A fellowship fund honoring the legacy of Theo Danzig, a member of the Class of 2022 who died in late October 2021, held its inaugural lecture in February. With Theo’s family in attendance, Julianna Brown ’24, the first recipient, presented her research. https://t.co/qYWCXMSsPh

Congratulations to a great team!

[Virginia Law Review @VirginiaLawRev]

We are thrilled to announce the Managing Board for Volume 110 of the Virginia Law Review! We know you all will do incredible work and cannot wait to see the impact you make!

This piece is just out from @VirginiaLawRev online. Comments welcome: https://t.co/xIS57jB9P9

[Deborah Hellman @Debbie_Hellman]

I fully agree.

[Ben Eidelson @beidelson]

I'm so dismayed by Liz Magill's resignation and I so hope that Claudine Gay @Harvard will not follow. I fear too few of us have said what many of us think: She did nothing wrong, & the real failure of leadership would be surrendering to a campaign so hostile to our values. /1

[Deborah Hellman @Debbie_Hellman]

Nice piece by @NoahRFeldman.
Is a call for genocide allowed under free-speech rules? It really does depend on the context, argues @NoahRFeldman, even if all such calls are repugnant https://t.co/nDUOPdZQE2 via @opinion

Open Letter in Support of Liz Magill "We are friends and faculty colleagues of Elizabeth Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania. We, in our personal capacity, cannot remain silent in light of the vicious assault on her character."

I'll be updating the syllabus for my MA seminar "Discrimination through the lens of philosophy of science" throughout the semester. Reading suggestions welcome!
