Goodall slop reporting latest 👇 He fails to point out that nearly 700,000 of this net drop is British and EU citizens leaving the UK - i.e. emigration. 900,000 people still arrived in the UK in the year to June. Brits and Europeans are just leaving.
NEW: Net migration falls sharply to 204,000 in the year to June. That’s a fall from 649,000 in the year to June 2024. It is a drop of nearly 80% from its 2023 peak.

Very insightful analysis by my friend and former trench-mate in the battlefield of Big Law, @ChadSquitieri . I also think he deserves credit for being able to set aside hand-waving and bluster that to me seems common among tariff haters. I think the case presents close issues (a

Looking forward to speaking at @UChicagoLaw this week about my @CreightonLawRev article on religious exemptions ( https://t.co/OL76UkO2VZ). As I note in the piece, SCOTUS has an opportunity to clarify its approach to religious exemptions in Miller v. McDonald (CA2, cert pending).
Dennis Wieboldt (@DennisWieboldt), a third-year Notre Dame Law student and Ph.D. candidate in history, will present at @UChicagoLaw’s Legal Scholarship Workshop this Thursday. He will discuss his forthcoming article in the Creighton Law Review, titled “The Dormant Commerce

With the Supreme Court of Canada doubling down on problematic aspects of its criminal sentencing jurisprudence, the notwithstanding clause may prove to be the most reliable, if not the only, option for lawmakers to restore credibility to the criminal justice system. My latest:

Delighted to welcome tomorrow the renowned @Vermeullarmine for a talk about jurisprudence and legal interpretation in the light of Common Good. The discussion will take place a stone's throw away from the very place where US independence was supported and prepared: Versailles.
