I've just learned that my partner, a nonlawyer who for some reason has listened to SCOTUS arguments since high school, has been emailing the Oyez help line b/c not all arguments are up from November and December. I find this so charming in the nerdiest of ways.

My partner's work trip aligns perfectly with the phase in argument prep when I start talking to myself while pacing around the house. Great luck because I sound a little bananas.

Told myself I couldn’t leave the office until I resolved all my open tabs but… I’ve got a lot of tabs to resolve.

Based on my Teams messages to colleagues, I'm cutting at a rate of 84 words per hour. Just 16 words to go!

Such a rude awakening to go from the best of long weekends to slashing and burning thousands of words from a reply brief due soon.

In waiting room to see whether I need another hip surgery and this is maybe the funniest thing I’ve seen on Twitter in a long time. Apologies to my fellow ortho compatriots for shrieking with glee.

Despite proudly proclaiming just a few days ago that I had thousands of words to spare, I now am at the phase of brief writing in which I must cut 1,500 words, all of which are precious to me and necessary.

Interested in issues around forced arbitration? Join a slew of fantastic advocates (+me) at the Berkely Journal of Employment Labor Law's symposium Mar. 21! I'll be on a panel about SCOTUS's recent FAA cases & what avenues remain to continue fighting against forced arbitration.

The word limit was a problem from the start in a brief I wrote last month. It's so liberating to be turning to Part II of III in a brief this month and still have (checks count) 7,102 words left.

Proving once again that I can sleep anywhere, I just fell asleep getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist.

I really love my dog but also she stepped in her own poop and then tracked it through the entire apartment, including, somehow, the walls and counters because now apparently she jumps on people and counter surfs. My home has become quite literally a shit show.

I love going to a court of appeals' live stream early (to watch my wonderful colleagues advocate) and seeing that there's 1 other over-enthusiastic person just watching and waiting. Who are you, my waiting-room friend?

One of the main challenges with working remotely is that when I find a good case on Westlaw and want to celebrate, there's no one to tell but my dog. She's enthusiastic but perhaps doesn't understand the significance of binding precedent.

Wrapping up 2023 with one last filing: an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court on the importance of investors big and small being able to have their day in court & hold public companies accountable for securities fraud when they deceive by omission. tinyurl.com/3v548pp2
