Interested in the two SCOTUS rulings on the State Secrets Privilege from last term? I explore them both in this paper (written for Harvard Law Review's November '22 SCOTUS volume):

@bmaz @UTexasLaw Really well! I was happy to see a lot of students there, and then the Justices came out afterwards to talk to them about career stuff. I thought that was really cool.

KPMG is poised to become the first of the Big Four accounting firms to open a law firm in the United States, taking advantage of loosened law firm ownership rules in Arizona and accelerating the accounting industry's push into U.S. legal services

So happy for my colleague, friend, and predecessor — Ward Farnsworth— to receive such a lovely review! Alas, he’s not on social media…but I suppose that helps make possible his wonderful writing :)
📣Rave review for Prof. Ward Farnsworth's newest book—all of his books, actually!—in @ClaremontInst's Review of Books, from Joseph Epstein. Read it in its entirety:

And just like that, we pick up the NSA/Cyber Command “dual hat” topic right where it was left in December 2020. If you need a backgrounder, here’s my breakdown from then:
SCOOP: Advisers contributing to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition effort are readying a plan to split up the leadership of U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, potentially soon after he assumes office.

@Ahdieology @TAMULawSchool @UTexasLaw @JoeTGarcias @CityofFortWorth @franklinbbq But of course! So glad this great tradition is resuming. Those games were the highlight of Thanksgiving throughout my childhood!

@heybriandawson Most of the band liked their older stuff, and I may or may not have had a comically oversized Cure t-shirt…. But yeah, I heard an interview with Robert Smith on the new album and it sounded promising!

This is a smart insight. I’ve often changed my intended phrasing mid-sentence when an auto-complete suggestion guesses my original planned words, precisely out of an instinct that I somehow wouldn’t seem authentic—perhaps also a desire to write with a more unique voice, too.
The fact that some people use genAI (e.g. for cover letters) imposes a negative externality on everyone's content, especially if that content "sounds like chatGPT" or is worse than chatGPT. As a result, bystanders carry a *burden of authenticity*—the quality bar goes up for them.
