Odd debate. It is true that serious court reform has only approached being mainstream in the left legal academy in the last 5 years or so, but it’s been discussed there for much longer and as far as I can tell it is *more* popular in the academy than outside it.

2/ Like I barely have the heart to argue about it. Because it just barely STARTING to happen. And to the extent the small minority of reform voices want to speak louder that's precisely what i support. And if they want to claim a lot of support within the academy, well great...

Families in Gaza are starving while the food they need is sitting at the border. But @WFP hasn't been able to get new aid in since 2 March.
If we wait for famine to be officially confirmed, it will be TOO LATE.
We need access.
We need a ceasefire.
We need to move NOW.

Further evidence that we should not casually conflate the personal politics of professors with “indoctrination.” Good teachers expose their students to a wide range of perspectives.

When I took Reva Siegel’s antidiscrimination law class at Yale, she assigned the best readings on “both sides,” including an article by @erikabachiochi rebutting equality arguments for Roe. Here’s a second important piece on that theme!
