By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel

I'm not sure whether I should be pleased or chagrined, but I've found in recent years that when I meet new people at AALS, they are more likely to recognize my name from Prawfs than from my law review scholarship. I'm trying hard to believe this is more of a positive comment on Dan and the rest of the Prawfs team than a negative comment on my scholarship!
On to more substantive matters, like the Supreme Court's unanimous decision today in a death penalty case, Bobby v. Bies.
