@danielledonfro You are so much more in touch with what the kids are using. I ban electronic devices, but smart glasses never occurred to me.

Cardozo School of Law, the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, the University of Minnesota Law School, the University of Florida Levin College of Law, the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law, and Cornell Law School.

I'm back after an, um, imposed break due to hacking. Today, @StefanMcDaniel and I and our intrepid crew of highly engaged students wrapped up an excellent semester of the Private Law Workshop @NDLaw with @stewartschwab from @CornellLaw. Professor Schwab's paper, The Public-Private Distinction and Employment Law, was ideal material for the last day, bringing us back to the questions we considered on the first day: what, if anything, is distinctive about private law? What turns on the categorization? Professor Schwab approached the question from a social welfare perspective: "All law is public policy. Humans make law to further human goals ... a utilitarian perspective gives the greatest purchase power in positively explaining why the law is the way it is and normatively suggesting the way the law should become." His paper examined inductively whether employment law illuminates the distinction at all. Conclusions were tentative, so you'll have to wait for the publication or SSRN.

Bravo to @mannyNYT & @HurtesSarah for highlighting Cesar Chavez's sexual abuse and its suppression.

This reflects a larger pattern, which we saw with Epstein, the Catholic Church & Grooming Gangs: when confronted with evidence of sexual abuse, organisations have so often prioritised self-preservation.

Whether he's a civil rights icon, immigrant, priest or politician, violent perpetrators are often protected by those who want to preserve their institution's righteous legitimacy.

Tomorrow's lineup: "The People in Their Intertemporal Dimension" (Ylenia Guerra), "Against Epistemic Deference and Epistemic Reasonableness" (Santiago Carbajal), and "Government by Jury" (Nathaniel Donahue).

Deeply grateful to our senior scholars — Kevin Tobia, Brian Bix, Aileen Kavanagh, Joseph Blocher, Nicholas Barber, Conor Casey, and Renée Lettow Lerner — for their generous and expert commentary. Excited to see where these conversations go.

A new survey by the Institute for Family Studies finds that most young men are single,

Half say that they're reluctant to ask someone out as they fear rejection.

Yet most want to be married in the future.

As I have said for the past 3 years, this is a major aspect of young men's dissatisfaction and resentment.

Yes, I made it to the best dressed list for Women Wear Daily this week as they did a Flashback on the "Best Sneaker Moments" at the Oscars. This is from 2019 when I was nominated for the Oscar for BlacKkKlansman, I wore custom New Orleans Saints Jordans. Of course, my amazing wife @robinburgesspresents did not wear sneakers.

Legal scholarship is a literary genre, it’s just an especially dull one. I like this essay because it shows just how dull the genre really is. https://t.co/hq6nx3TGvg
