Populists often claim the legal high ground against "usurping" courts, apparently echoing commonsense positivism. My latest, just out (OA) with CJLJ, uncovers the similarities and differences between such claims and actual Hartian positivism. See: https://t.co/WoMD1lBMal

Very grateful to Benjamin Ruiz and Felipe Jiménez for putting together such a terrific legal philosophy conference at @ITAM_mx this week. It was a treat to present my paper, The Scalar Nature of Law, to this impressive group of scholars, and to learn from their papers as well.

Yesterday, I was giving an intro talk to our dept's new PhD students. Technical things aside, my number 1 suggestion has remained the same over the years: Treat your PhD like a job.
- Avoid 1.5h lunch and three tea breaks.
- Avoid gossiping and loitering at work.
- Lab at 9 am and leave at 6 pm. Being productive till 11 pm in the lab is a lie people till themselves when their day starts at 1 PM.
Everything worth doing can be done with high intensity focus during work hours. And having fun in life is the secret to being productive in a marathon.
