While I am leaving the @ukcollegeoflaw faculty on July 1 to join the faculty of Tulane Law, I am delighted to see that it has hired Judge Van Tatenhove as its new dean. In my opinion, he is well-qualified for the position. @courierjournal aol.com/articles/uk-faculty-…

UK faculty opposed naming federal judge dean of law school - AOL

The University of Kentucky named U.S. District Judge Greg Van Tatenhove as the dean of its law school, despite objections from law faculty.

I am at the stage of this process where I am considering standing in front of the Wildcat Lodge and holding a picture of Dan Hurley in the air until Mitch personally asks me to stop.

Governor Beshear’s politically-driven veto of SB150 is insanity.

And perhaps successfully. The hammerlock of Faculty's of Education on teacher certification has to go. And the sooner the better. More than enough is more than enough: courier-journal.com/story/ne…

Is Kelly Craft copying another Republican's playbook in the Kentucky governor's race?

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kelly Craft and her running mate, Sen. Max Wise, drew scrutiny for recent moves they made on education policy.

Replying to @CanPanicNow @tx_law @NguyenLuce @ewarren
My first semester, I got a B+ in civil procedure. But my professor liked me "anyway" & asked me to be her RA the following semester. She was the person who helped convince me to become a law professor. Good professors don't care about your grades. You've already proven yourself.

You know, teams that have a 90% chance of winning in the first half by 538’s metric win far fewer than 90% of the time. Which suggests there’s something wrong with the 538 model.

Mike Krzyzewski had the most talented team in America (by a good margin) and almost lost in the second and third rounds and then failed to make the Final Four with them. If you're going to crap on John Calipari for underachieving, rack up K too. – at Kansas City, MO

It’s 2034. The Patriots win Super Bowl LXVIII. The only score is a safety. Tom Brady is 55 years old. He cannot quit or he will die. The hex was clear. He is so tired. So very tired.

“Fortnite” keeps using dances. And it is almost certainly non-infringing & non-tortious. The only viable claim is right of publicity. And the days of Vanna White claims are gone.
