Judge Warns Federal Cuts Will 'Strike at the Heart' of Judiciary
Updated 5:53 p.m. Speaking today at the Judicial Conference's biannual meeting in Washington, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Julia Gibbons warned that sequestration – mandatory budget cuts that went into effect March 1 – put the federal judiciary "in uncharted territory," according to a release from...
Oh that is hilarious. I once took a chair-spot while looking for a spot near a Steelers Bar. Once I told someone I had to move a chair to park, she told me to move my car ASAP. Fortunately my tires were not slashed. See http://joshblackman.com/blog/2011/01/30/dont-take-the-chair-spot-private-ordering-of-public-resources/

Empty Chairs of a Different Sort
Here in Pittsburgh, we generally take a pretty easy-going approach to empty chairs, at least when they occupy parking spaces. So much so, in fact, that the customary practice of "reserving" an empty parking space with a lawn chair (or equivalent piece of worn furniture, etc.) has now been forma...
I suppose Carolina is on your mind :)

Couple of Legal History Items
Josh Blackman's got the goods (i.e., a photograph) on FDR's pardon of Charles Hauser, the defendant in Carolene Products. Josh also raises a good idea for research in wills -- how the quality of computer-drafted wills compares to those prepared by lawyers. Also, as I sit here working on edit...
Al, thanks for the link. This is an absolutely fascinating case. I also have photos of the factory Hauser built that straddled the Missouri-Oklahoma border. See all posts here: http://joshblackman.com/blog/category/constitutional-places/carolene-products/

In-Class Student Response System
This is a request for one of my colleagues. She is wondering if anyone has successfully (or not!) used an in-class student response system - clicker technology or something like that. A bit of poking around turned up this information, but she isn't satisfied with what she's found: Someone sug...

Census of Law Professor Twitter Users -- Version 2.0
Here's Version 2.0 of the census of law prof Twitter users. Of the 204 faculty members included on this list, 142 are male; 62 are female. The beta version (here) had counted 93 users, so I've had lots of help in updating the list. All additions and corrections very welcome for future version...
Do you think that future generations of clients, who were also brought up with the self-service style of learning, may wish to interact with similarly-inclined attorneys? That is, clients desirous of legal services may seek to obtain them through alternate channels, with much less face-to-face interaction (for early signs, look no further than products like LegalZoom or Rocket Lawyer).

Self-Service Education
In my last post, I made some observations, drawn from my recent experience as academic dean, about how the current generation of law students differs from their predecessors. I’d like to draw on that experience again to suggest another change in what we’re seeing from our students: the drif...
