Carney gets a standing ovation at Davos for what is surely the most consequential address by a world leader in my lifetime. And he wrote it himself. This is one for the history books. This is what leadership looks like. https://t.co/6JnFzkqfnp

Kavanaugh just finished asking questions in Trump v Cook oral argument. Barrett is up now but it’s already clear that Lisa Cook will be keeping her job on the Fed.

Dick Cheney endorses Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. DICK CHENEY.
Dick Cheney: “In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be

Heartbreaking. Not just an intellectual giant but a kind and generous human being. Show me anyone in this building, this entire field, who was not better off for having crossed paths with Fred Schauer.

McLachlin announces she’s leaving the HKCFA the same day that Lord Sumption’s bombshell op-ed appears in the FT explaining his resignation from the HKCFA. Goodbye rule OF law, hello rule BY law

now here's a thread worth watching @QST85 @ZhangTaisu
Evergrande liquidated in Hong Kong is not the same as Evergrande in mainland China; they are two related, but separate legal entities. There have been precedents and rules about how to enforce certain HK legal judgments in mainland China since 2003, if my recollection is correct.

Also on point for law students. In other social sciences, your mileage may vary due to methodological/epistemological differences.

Sad news. This may be an old fashioned thing to say, but it’s true: I had the good fortune of taking Con Law from Charles Fried as a 1L and truly, he was a scholar and a gentleman, a man of decency and integrity. His was a life in which his loved ones can take pride.
In memoriam: Professor Charles Fried (Prague 15 April 1935—Cambridge MA 23 January 2024), my beloved father-in-law. He taught his last class @Harvard_Law not quite two months ago. An enormous loss for his family, his many friends, his colleagues, and indeed the American public
