I am so excited to welcome Kate back to University of Michigan for the Simpson Lecture this spring. Can't wait to see you Kate Masur and learn about your new work!

Excited to see this appear on SSRN from one of my students, Grace Vedock, "Public Accommodations Parlance." Forthcoming from Michigan Law Review, it sees "303 Creative as a welcome opportunity to reevaluate basic assumptions about how property law operates..." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

HAPPENING THIS AFTERNOON:

Iowa Law professor Brian Farrell was a guest speaker in the Michigan Law School seminar Law in Rural America taught by Prof. Emily Prifogle, JD/PhD.

I'm so grateful that Brian Farrell was able to zoom into the class session on rural lawyering and access to justice! It's been a really fun semester in the seminar, and this was a real highlight!!

Always exciting to see my students published. I had the pleasure of having Sam Shaw in my #RuralLaw seminar this semester Michigan Law School. Read his JOTWELL, "Localizing Bail Reform: Rural Montana and Beyond," for Jotwell is available here. Take a look! crim.jotwell.com/localizing-bai…..

My good friend Sean Vanatta has his new book out: Plastic Capitalism, Banks, Credit Cards, and the End of Financial Control. I used some plastic to buy my copy. You should get yours! 💳💳💳

The Docket is a publication of American Society for Legal History. Temporarily edited by Gautham Rao and currently accepting pitches for legal history posts, articles, book reviews, review articles, and more! Please contact if interested, lhrdocketeditor @ gmai|.

What do we miss when we rush to fix rural access to justice by simply adding more attorneys? Our latest digest shares @MicheleStatz's findings when approaching the problem through the "felt understanding of the particularities of a place." ruralreconcile.org/ruralreview/ne…
