This week, we are conferencing with our Legal Methods students to review the last writing assignment they completed. We meet on Zoom, which allows us to share their document on the screen and review it together. It also allows them to record the conference for future reference.

This week we are introducing our students to analogical reasoning. One thing we stress is the importance of explicitly comparing the facts from cases to the facts of their case. If you teach analogical reasoning, what's one thing you highlight for your students?

Law review editors, if you're reviewing article submissions, remember, short is good! People actually read short articles. Don't be discouraged from accepting articles just because they're concise.

New on the Forum: Prof. @djsziff argues that a new Bluebook rule, which requires authors to disclose when a cited case has an enslaved person as a party or the property at issue, belongs in the Bluepages (for practitioners) to fully serve the policy goals behind the rule. 1/2
