It is difficult to overstate what Texas A&M law has accomplished in just ten years. If this momentum can be continued, even in part and even for a short time, this school will tear apart the longstanding hierarchical order in the legal academy. That would be a good thing.

Remember, unless you’re doing statutory interpretation on a pirate ship, it’s “canons” of construction. Not “cannons.”

Amazing "topping off" ceremony for our new Texas A&M - Fort Worth anchor building. A particular treat was getting to wander the 8th floor with its skyline view!

This SNL sketch has produced some fun legal commentary.
"And we will call the documents filed with our appellate courts: Briefs.” "So, these documents will contain concise arguments outlining the parties’ respective positions?” "If only it were so simple.”
