Law folks: If you’re not using Claude Code or ChatGPT’s Codex, you have no idea what you’re missing. So I’m distributing my research tools that provide a huge boost to legal scholarship. Research assistance, cite-checking, proofreading, and more (thread):

Jeremy Christiansen @TradVat2 with a third take on substantive canons
Substantive canons are all the rage.@joeljohnson13 says they are "legality" canons. @charlesfcapps says they aren't real.
For a classical defense of substantive canons, read my forthcoming article in the @SMULawReview. Long live the substantive canons!

Speaking of substantive canons, @joeljohnson13 has proposed a new theory--check it out!
Vanderbilt Law Review (@VandLRev) will be publishing my latest, “Legality Canons.”
It argues for a new way to understand many of the so-called substantive canons that the Supreme Court now employs.
