This is a must-listen: @DavidLat’s wonderful interview with @KannonShanmugam. substack.com/@davidlat/note/… Kannon is gracious, kind, humble, brilliant, and one of the most successful appellate lawyers on the planet. If you don’t know him well, I think you’ll really enjoy listening to this interview and learning more about him.

Also, our summer intern engagement program officially kicked off last week with @justicepinson speaking on federal clerkships (but no photo), and continued this week with a panel I moderated with Presiding Judges @JudgeSaraDoyle and Chris McFadden from their journeys to the bench to tips for new lawyers.
