Replying to @CanPanicNow
Well if you're worried about debt collection harming your deeply held emotional belief you have standing to bring a claim in federal court. I don't make up the rules. Others do.

- I attended law school with one of the "pro-life" justices. Our school, that sponsored pro-life vigils, also had an actual rule of conduct that any unmarried student who became pregnant had to withdraw from classes. Pregnancy violated the Code of Conduct. Not making this up.🤷🏾♀️
- Replying to @Dr_B_Pearl and @jayctigerfanIf the author is a junior, cc their dean or dept. chair. I also do this after attending a presentation that is particularly excellent.
- Today, I made the controversial decision to teach my students, who are learning about injunctions, how to *actually seek* an injunction. Our casebook devoted one paragraph, of a 90-page chapter to the process. SMH. #PracticeSkillsMatter.
- The Bar Exam.Okay name something that is for profit that shouldn’t be for profit. I’ll start: prisons.
- Replying to @JoshMBlackmanStill mad about the Northwestern hiring decision I see.
- A law student at my school took the #MPRE yesterday and reported that she had to lift up her shirt and turn around to prove she didn't have cheat sheets strapped to her body. Sure, exam security is important but this is invasive and ridiculous! 1/4
- Dear state bar examiners, please announce the format of your February exam while the application period is still open. Applicants deserve to know what type of exam they are signing up for. -An advocate
- 2020 bar takers are not asking examiners to give away law licenses w/out merit. They're asking for emergency licensing measures. They're asking examiners to think outside the box. They're asking for humanity and a chance to earn a living. They are asking the examiners to listen.
- Today, I witnessed my teenager attempt suicide on the interstate. They survived, and I hope I do too. Parenting is the hardest job in the world, it comes with life tenure, but no on-the-job training. I hope we will all be okay soon.
- Reports of tech issues with ExamSoftware cannot be explained away as "minor" or dismissed as affecting "only a few examinees." Testers must be held to higher standards. Enough already!
- It's time to see things as they are. Multistate exams are commercial products, not tests of fitness, talent, or integrity. They are commercial products, bought and sold. When we protect the bar exam status quo, we are protecting a commercial interest, not the public.
- "An entire class of bar takers was held captive to conventional thinking at a time that called for compassion and innovation. Any failures on this bar exam are ours, not theirs." -An Epic Fail
- I just google searched "how to blue book cite the actual BlueBook" and I am certain that this will be my villain origin story if ever I make it out of this vortex.
