👀 Not on Twitter much anymore but pleasantly surprised that SSRN posted my forthcoming article on Gen AI and the billable hour!

Four weeks ago I started a free newsletter for summer associates and interns. I think my favorite paragraph so far is in today’s issue:

Just like we did in the days of old I am setting up the Passover…Photo Booth?

The “or more” was doing a lot more work than I realized in this post from five years ago today…

I am ready for my next decade!

How it started (left, 30th birthday, terrible mirror selfie) and how its going (right, 40th birthday, celebrating with my awesome kids and amazing students).

Sometimes when you can't control the world the thing to do is control something you can...I guess. That is why I am spending the evening supervising a sleepover, watching a police procedural, and updating @howilawyer.bsky.social cover art to include guest name and photos.

What do you think?

Such a joy to present today at Stetson law school!

Enjoyed chatting with students about owning their own careers and then leading a live podcast episode featuring Stetson Howard Williams!

Wonderful hospitality and I hope you’ll invite me back!

It’s been a very long time…feels like we are playing with house money given how far we’ve already come. Go Commanders!

Watching my @georgetownlaw.bsky.social colleague share incredible knowledge at #AALS2025 on the press and the law. Tough times but important work.

Just realized I walked 1,662 miles in 2024 so far. Kid asked how far. I guessed about from DC to Denver.

Dear reader, I was within 5 miles with my guess!

Just the way I roll. Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

Always a joy to see something you've written in PRINT!

If you'd like to give it a read it digitally it is available here: digitalcommons.law.uw.edu/wlr/vol99/is...

If you'd like an off-print DM me and I'll send you a physical copy. Can't think of a better holiday present for your loved one.

Kids getting better at the baking. I need to do less and less.

Pantry night! Garlic butter-spinach pasta with roasted cauliflower and roasted tomato (not pictured). Cleaning out the fridge. YUM!

Such a good #legalwriting meme from Ed Walters over on LinkedIn. I feel like I say this to my #1L students every year!

Is anyone else a writing perfectionist? Sometimes when I am writing I know I need to keep working on new material but instead find myself going back and tweaking material I've already drafted.

One method I use to combat this is I highlight the text that I am not working on in black. Other ideas?

Long week but spending some time by a fire 🔥 is always a good thing.
