One reason to do your shopping in little Italy: if you’re lucky, two elderly Italians will lecture you about the right way to make pasta sauce 🥺

I’m lucky enough to have a job with stable hours, but that is uncommon for junior attorneys, law clerks, and paralegals right now. Great report.
COVID-19 has left many of the paralegals, legal assistants and clerks who churn away in the background of the legal industry stretched thin, overworked, cash-strapped and struggling with their mental health, a study by @athennian has found

Florida has just under 270,000 confirmed COVID cases. The population of the state is 20 million. More than one in every 100 Floridians has COVID. orlandosentinel.com/coronavi…

Very strange example of judicial restraint from @DouthatNYT. The Taney Court’s support for slavery was a cause of the civil war. The Court famously went out of its way to uphold the constitutionality of slavery in Dred Scott. Hardly a model of judicial restraint.
Got bored and took some graduation pics. HMU if u or a loved one have been exposed to mesothelioma

I’m genuinely going to miss my fellow editors! Working with them and with our authors has been one of the biggest privileges of my time at @GeorgetownLaw.
Congratulations to our wonderful Vol. 108 Editors graduating from @GeorgetownLaw today! We have been so lucky to work with such an incredible, talented, and fun group. Although we are unable to celebrate with you in person, we will always be GLJ family. Best wishes and Hoya Saxa!

By ducking the obvious 1A problems, the Court will allow the DOJ to continue prosecuting immigration attorneys under a statute that potentially makes it a federal crime to simply provide legal services to undocumented persons.
#SCOTUS's opinion in Sineneng-Smith chastises the Ninth Circuit for something the Justices do *all the time*—focus on issues not raised in the parties' briefs. Indeed, the Court just asked *last week* for the parties in the Trump tax cases to brief an issue they hadn't addressed.

Am I petty for being delighted to find a blue booking error in @YaleLJournal? Yes. But am I extremely frustrated to discover that none of the cases cited in that fn support the proposition? Also yes.

Correctional officers announce they are taking industrial action to protect themselves from the rapid spread of COVID-19 amongst the jail population. They agree w/ public defenders that DC Gov is hiding the scale of the outbreak.

If this is true, Twitter is going to be hilarious for a while
There is a rumor rapidly circulating in legal conservative circles that Gorsuch is going to side with the liberals and read transgenderism into Title VII.
I’m a longtime Gorsuch skeptic, but this would certainly be an unprecedented betrayal.
Let’s hope it’s not true.
