I'm sure it's way better than the one I built about 20 years ago for a university course taught by @timchartier.bsky.social .

New York permits LL.M.s to dispense legal advice, unlike most states, which require J.D.s. (Sorry, the pun had to be made.)

United retired its last 747 (which is the highly identifiable aircraft in that photo) in 2017.

Fair enough.

The law was really specific in requiring surrender before the replacement. If you're counsel to the director, do you advise them to break the clear statutory language because it's likely unconstitutional but unsettled or do you advise them to follow the statute until a court says otherwise?

18 pages? What a random page limit.

"The last train is nearly due, the underground is closing soon, and in the dark deserted station, restless in anticipation, a man waits in the shadows..."

Summary coversheet to Weil Gotshal's fee application. Total professional fees $58,795,673.25. Total hours 39,990.60. Average hourly rate $1,470.24.

In biglaw news, Weil Gotshal filed a motion for attorneys' fees in the bankruptcy of First Brands, where the 100% owner and CEO has been criminally charged with fraud for, among other things, double-factoring receivables. They requested $58.8m for 3 months of work at an average rate of $1,470.24/hr.

It has to be one that indicates citizenship. EDLs qualify...but they don't have yellow stars on them.

There's a minor problem—your driver's license with a REAL ID "yellow star" is insufficient because it does not "indicate that [you] are a citizen of the United States." SAVE America Act § 2(a). It indicates that you had legal presence at the time of the ID's issuance. See REAL ID Act § 202(c)(2)(B).

This is inferior to the other Sergei that performed "Scream." #Dora2026

Eurovision medley for no raisin. #dora

We're watching #dora today, right?

And is exactly the kind of thing that Denmark would pick, because the Danes somehow manage to always choose the blandest possible entry.

Do I understand correctly that the administration said they'd detain any refugee who didn't get an adjustment to LPR after one year and then stopped processing refugee applications to adjust to LPR? Leading to inevitable mandatory detention of every refugee who didn't adjust to LPR before 2025?

AAG for Antitrust Gail Slater has abruptly resigned with no reason. Just a few days ago, DAAG Mark Hamer, who led litigation and civil enforcement, resigned abruptly with no reason. The latest nominee for the FTC has no apparent qualifications for the position whatsoever. What even is antitrust law?

I don't know if you're in the US or UK right now, but NBC did a bit on both those things in some of the interval coverage.

Some of whom are shirtless with oiled chests.

Oddly, my wife, who doesn't like country music at all, said that was her favorite from the semi.

A conversation I had with a U.S. lawyer who is learning another country's law:
Them: "Under Dillon's rule for municipalities, the state can't mess with the elections."
Me: "Under Dhillon's rule, though, you're required to mess with the elections."

Well, that was an anticlimactic countdown. #melfest

That was worthy of a Moldovan semi, not a Swedish one. It did not work.

He's...not a good singer? What was SVT thinking? #melfest

The North Carolina appellate courts have been steadfast in refusing to abolish the heartbalm torts and there has been minimal support in the General Assembly for doing so, even after judgments in the millions. The most they could muster was some procedural reform in 2009, codified at Gen Stat 52-13.

Wait, it's incorporated in New Jersey and is arguing that New Jersey isn't a proper venue for an internal corporate governance matter where New Jersey law would apply? What?

Did you notice that on the arrest warrant the magistrate judge struck through the FACE Act count (which could be a misdemeanor) saying no PC and left only the felony conspiracy to deprive rights count? So now the DOJ has to indict, which, good luck.

They do use a 50¢/share "M&A option value" in parts of their analysis "for illustrative purposes" as a "theoretical possibility."

Y'all have written an excellent yet depressing article. Thanks, I hate it.

Wouldn't it just be a repeat of the Bijan Ghaisar situation? Criminal charge, removal to federal court, federal court dismisses on immunity grounds?
