@chrisbriem Years ago, I met Slim Forsythe, lawyer, school bus driver, and old time country musician, who lived upstairs and who gave me and a friend a quick tour of his apartment. Slim had a fantastic collection of old time country music posters and related paraphernalia.
My new book, The Line: AI & the Future of Personhood, was published today by MIT Press. It is under a CC license so you can read it for free. https://t.co/3xy4QxwY8n
@BrettFrischmann @GKCWorkshop I have turned my account on Bluesky (mostly) into a series of notes about new knowledge commons research. I will add this piece.
@ShaniShisha@nyulawreview@nyulaw@SMULawSchool Provocative abstract. I've written a bunch of things over 20+ years about the troubled character of the copyright work, the "thing" at the center of the law and practice. Difficult to know whether any of them would be useful to you. Happy to chat separately.
@getmejoemiller@HoffProf What Joe said: https://t.co/5spB8K8LlD. [Pitt's law review is published by, and archives are maintained by, the publishing arm of the main university's library system.] "Color figures" could be the next crusade, after victory to abolish et al. when citing multi-authored works.
@thepublicdomain@doctorow Huzzah and thank you. As ever, chunks of it will make it into my Fall Trademark Law syllabus and (later) into my Spring Copyright Law syllabus.
@jess_miers@AkronLaw Congrats and welcome to the broader Three Rivers area! Come visit Pitt and Pittsburgh!😃 Coming in 2025: the next https://t.co/0qfL5UBlzr
@Clevy_Law The deep epistemology of US legal ed is based on "the case." "The law" follows from the products of conflict, not the products of planning (by parties (deals), the government (administrative processes), or communities (governance). The surface payoff is a bias toward litigation.
@OrinKerr As with many careers: as a candidate, you get nowhere by simply celebrating your glorious past. You are selling your glorious future. Many committees rely on poor proxies in predicting a candidate's future. Navigate around that as well as you can. Look forward to move forward.
@OrinKerr At many law schools, tenure-stream hiring follows teaching needs. Learn what those needs/interests are and will be. Law schools may cover courses with adjunct faculty and have little interest in shifting to full-time coverage. Or the adjunct "solution" may be a stopgap.
@CJSprigman @JeanneFromer@DSFrancis1 Nearly five years ago (!), I wrote a series of posts about law school casebooks and what close readings of their origins and uses can tell us about things that can and cannot be changed about legal education, higher education, and more. https://t.co/RVbCNivPbL
