This would have immeasurably brightened my time at @UMichLaw.

Hate to see this and glad all are OK. I love flying Cape Air, and they’ve had very few incidents and zero passenger fatalities in 34 years. We’re flying Cape Air out of Provincetown on Saturday. (And on another note, hello @DrewKaredes!)

Provincetown firefighters say some of those on board Cape Air Flight 2072 suffered broken bones, burns from flames that ignited after crash. FAA/NTSB now leading the investigation #Boston25 AT 10/11

It's an exciting day for our appellate group as we welcome leading SCOTUS practitioner @DanGeyser. Looking forward to practicing with you, Dan!

Haynes Boone welcomes @DanGeyser, one of the nation’s leading Supreme Court and appellate lawyers, as the chair of the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court Practice. Dan brings a wealth of experience to our appellate group, having argued 11 Supreme Court cases. bit.ly/2WELq8z

A huge thank you to Harris County’s civil district judges for inviting me to speak at their judicial conference, and for the frank, lively, and fun discussion about mandamus. This job is so much better when we can get together in person!

Saturday night excitement, here in the 200 block of Travis.

Downtown officers are at 200 Travis. Adult female and male both were wounded while fighting over a gun. Officers applied a tourniquet and both are expected to survive. 202

One thing that was clear during our short time in Haiti was that its extraordinary people cannot be reduced to mere victims of corruption, exploitation, disaster, and violence. nytimes.com/2018/01/12/opi…


Thinking of Haiti and the amazing people we met there, five years ago.

Snow and ice disrupted our plan to hear from Judges Donna Roth and @TanyaGarrison5 in Feb, but that shouldn't be a problem for their rescheduled presentation on Wed May 26 at 5:15. To receive the Zoom link, please email Pam (members) or send your email via DM (non-members).

Very sad news. Muffie Moroney was just the best. She will be missed.

Thank you to Judge Beau Miller for moderating such an informative—and fun—discussion with Justices Amparo Guerra and Veronica Rivas-Molloy and Judges Dawn Rogers and Cheryl Elliott Thornton. We appreciated the practice tips, as well as the laughs!

The kitten/lawyer in this video was our opposing counsel on a case until recently. I only wish this had happened to someone who needed to be brought down a peg, rather than this kind and professional gentleman. youtu.be/KxlPGPupdd8

Check out this practical and wise advice on oral argument from women Justices of the Supreme Courts of Ark., Mich., Tex., and W. Va. And it's my first (and last?) turn as a podcast host! Thank you @JusticeGuzman, @bethwalkr, @JudgeRhondaWood, @BridgetMaryMc, & @LadyJusticePodc!
