Legal Commentary

Hi everybody. As Dan mentioned a couple of days ago, I'll be guest-blogging here for the next month or so. Having never done this before, I find myself experiencing a mix of curious eagerness and stomach-churning anxiety. Though I told Dan months ago that I'd do this in December, it more recently has struck me that "four months before my tenure vote" might not be the ideal time to start posting my half-baked thoughts online for the world to see. But anyway, I suppose the die is now cast, and I look forward to several weeks of trumpeting my own work, killing time when I should be grading exams, boring Brian Leiter, and engaging in all the other proud traditions that have made Prawfsblawg the stimulating and profitable (I get royalty checks, right?) venture it is today.
