- Reposted by Jake MazeitisStopping work on the Gateway Tunnel Project is catastrophic for commuters, workers, and our economy. The Trump Admin’s political games are illegal and hurt our bottom line. Proud to stand with Governor Mikie Sherrill, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, and Governor Kathy Hochul to fight for you.
- State supreme court hiring info can be hard to track down, so I’m grateful to the @brennancenter.org and @statecourtreport.org for featuring this post! Thankful as well for the many friends who gave me the inside scoop on their state’s practices,
- NEW: For law students and young attorneys, state supreme court clerkships are among the most exciting jobs available, but the application process can be confusing. @jakemazeitis.bsky.social explains which courts regularly hire term law clerks and roughly how many opportunities might be available.
- and, as always, to @yeargain.bsky.social and @adamsopko.bsky.social for being thought partners and encouraging me to write this up.
- My latest is out in the #GeorgiaLawReview! “A Governor’s Duty to Ask” looks at states where the governor has the power to request advisory opinions from the state supreme court, and argues that a healthy respect for the state’s separation of powers requires governors to exercise that authority.
- Grateful to be featured alongside such brilliant thinkers as @yeargain.bsky.social @msmith750.bsky.social @tiffanycli.bsky.social, and deeply appreciative of the students at UGA for putting together this issue!

- Reposted by Jake MazeitisI’m pleased that my Georgia Law Review article is now out! I did a content analysis of every state constitutional amendment from 1960 to the present that altered any criminal procedure protection—which revealed how few states even *tried* to ratify the Warren Court’s criminal procedure holdings.
- Reposted by Jake MazeitisMy article, "Pluralism in State Constitutional Law," is now published with the Georgia Law Review! It explores different ways state courts interpret state constitutions and variations in how explicit courts are regarding this interpretive pluralism! georgialawreview.org/wp-content/u...
- Reposted by Jake MazeitisThis is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.
- Last year was a blast. The conversation was great, the feedback was generous, and @yeargain.bsky.social was a consummate host.
- I'm very happy to share that I will be hosting the *Second* Annual Democracy and Public Law Works-in-Progress Conference at the Michigan State University College of Law on April 3–4, 2026! Law scholars (current and aspiring), I'd love to host you! Application: msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
- Reposted by Jake MazeitisMy latest scholarship roundup up for @statecourtreport.org covers interesting new work on state constitutions, state courts, federalism, and more. (Sorry to report that it’s the back-to-school edition!) statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...
