- Hey #Teachers, what are some good tools for providing real-time feedback, during class, on students' writing? As in, apps that efficiently compile students' written work in one place & enable me to display it, mark it up, highlight parts we're discussing, etc? Thanks!
- Thanks, Larry, for recommending "Brady's Shadow" -- a work-in-progress now up on ssrn in which I argue that Brady v. Maryland occupies far too much space in the legal consciousness and needs to be knocked down a few pegs to make room for other ideas on criminal discovery...

- New paper alert! My latest - "Brady's Shadow" - is now on SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... Still a work in progress—would love your thoughts. It's about how one spectacularly failed doctrine somehow cannibalized other, more promising avenues for criminal discovery.🧵
- Everyone knows Brady v. Maryland is a disaster & 40+ years of scholarship says as much. The materiality test? Impossible. Protection at plea stage? Next to none. Enforcement? LOL. But here's what we missed: Brady isn't just failing. It's dragging everything else down with it.
- My latest, "Prosecutorial Reform and the Myth of Individualized Enforcement," is out in the Wash. U. Law Review. 🧵🧵 1/10 wustllawreview.org/2025/06/20/p...

- The White South African exception is “being called racist,” but others say something else. And who can truly know what’s in someone’s heart of hearts?? 🧐🤔

- I'm very proud of my alma mater @georgetownlaw.bsky.social and its dean for standing up to flagrantly unconstitutional discrimination against Georgetown's students by Trump acolyte Ed Martin at USAO-DC. Would-be autocrats lose if - only if - enough people refuse to bend the knee.

- The NY bar authorities won’t do anything about Emil Bove since they’re next to useless re holding prosecutors accountable when they abuse their power. But it’s still encouraging to see dems helping to keep this threat to the rule of law in the spotlight. Credit where due.
- Hell yes

- So when do we get to make a new “department” to root out fraud and inefficiency at DOGE?

- So is the idea here that White Afrikaners are the most oppressed social group of any country in the entire world? Or is this just the latest example of Elon Musk hijacking the US government to advance the politics of White grievance?

- My NY’s resolution is nothing. Nothing at all. For awhile now I’ve been striving to let go of control and find pleasure in the here and now—not overinvest in some imagined, speculative future. This non-resolution seems in keeping w/that ongoing aspiration. Happy NY all.
