I have a new @nytopinion post saying that President Biden should cap his long career of public service with one more step for the nation's good: Withdrawing from the presidential race and throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention: nytimes.com/2024/06/25/opini…

I wrote my new song "We Hold These Truths" as part of @LincolnCenter & @BKLYNlibrary’s #AnthemToUS project to create anthems from today’s perspective. For July 4, it's my effort to embrace what I Iove about this country while recognizing painful truths. tinyurl.com/WeHoldTheseTruth…

Civil Procedure, 2nd Edition by Howard Erichson and @mariaglover primes students to engage at a high level in the classroom. They chose cases that would best help students understand the core functions and challenges of each aspect of civil procedure. bit.ly/48xIwBy

My coauthor @mariaglover and I enjoyed this conversation with @StMarysLawDean Patty Roberts about the importance of civil procedure and how it is taught.

I always love returning to @nyulaw, and I learned a lot by participating in this @NYUasal panel on the role of state attorneys general in the opioid litigation, with Dean J. Kip Cornwell, NJ DAG Kelly Levy, and the legendary and always-thoughtful Sheila Birnbaum.

Nice to see this article by Ethan Leib and myself published in @NCLRev, exploring what's right and what's wrong about courts' tendency to treat class action settlement agreements as "contracts." northcarolinalawreview.org/w… #classactions #contractlaw

One last song for the year. I wrote this for Sara Ann. She deserves better, but it's all I've got. social.tunecore.com/linkShar…
