Before I think about the consequences of RBG’s passing I want to take time to reflect on her courage, her intellect, her commitment to equal justice, and the example she is for us all. Thank you, Justice Ginsburg.

When Ruth Bader Ginsburg wanted to be Supreme Court clerk in 1960, she was rejected because of her gender. More than 30 years later she made it to the high court bench herself. Here’s a look back Ginsburg’s life and legacy. 👇.

Agree w/ “not perfect substitute.” Disagree with the rest. Right now we have a some good distance learning (DL) and some DL band-aids to save the semester. The midst of COVID-19 is not the time to conclude how either DL or F2F learning can best be used in legal ed.

The option for the balance of spring was move online or cancel the term. Right? Law schools did great work to move online so quickly and so well. If universities stay closed for F2F this fall, schools can do online better & they should. Again, the option is cancellation.

When the crisis passes, we can return to the debates and discussions that were already underway about necessary and appropriate reforms to legal education and the legal profession. I look forward to that day!.

The extended student practice rule, while not providing as much relief to qualifying 2020 grads as the proposed UT rule, avoids these concerns. It allows grads to earn some income and to provide legal assistance pending bar passage.

. The rule would be better if it required the grad to demonstrate completion of certain courses. Even though it’s too late for the grad who hasn't, it's no more no more arbitrary than the 86% bar pass rate cutoff, and better for the public.
