    Very grateful and touched to have won a professor of the year award from the @BYULaw students this year. Just wish I could hug my students in person and let them know what a privilege it has been to be part of their legal education.

    If you're an aspiring or junior academic writing about legal philosophy and constitutional theory, I hope you submit a paper (or proposal) for our inaugural Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Theory Junior Scholar conference we're co-hosting next year.

    That moment every constitutional law professor parent has been waiting for: being asked to chaperone your kid’s school field trip to the US Capitol. 🤓

    Excited to be cited by SCOTUS for my first time today, and even more so since I was cited 3 times--in this case, J. Alito's concurring opinion in Fulton v. Phil. Here are the two cited articles. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… @NDLawReview @BCLawReview @NDLaw

    In today’s oral argument for the Little Sisters’ case, SCOTUS discussed religious exemptions and 3rd party harms. Two points: 1. The states haven’t identified a SINGLE woman who was denied coverage due to an exemption 2. The Court must also consider harms to the Sisters A thread
