Who’s coming to Boston for SALT?? 🙋🏽‍♀️

On my way to Boston for Society of American Law Teachers’s Teaching Conference and the SALT/LatCrit Faculty Development Workshop. See you soon, my SALTy friends! #SALTLaw24

Very cool: Prof. Shavonnie R. Carthens of University of Kentucky Rosenberg College of Law is involved in a new study that will test current knowledge of law students and nursing students for baseline data about patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) on medication for OUD (MOUD). #UKLawProfResearch

.Dorothy Roberts’ work has influenced my scholarship in so many ways; I am thrilled to see her recognized for her brilliance and impact! Congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

COVID brain is real. 🥴🫠😵‍💫

I need to find an article to review for Jotwell in November. Anyone have a piece on affirmative action post SFFA. Bonus points for anything that talks about the lawsuit against Northwestern Law. Must be academic writing. Need not be heavily doctrinal.

Teaching recrimination in Family Law today. Any bets on how many of my students would correctly guess the artist if I played “A Heart is a House for Love” at the start of class? The Five Heartbeats would be partially correct 😂

I’m 5’10” but yeah; it’s been a “Mama Fannie” kind of week.

Getting ready for a spooky lecture on alimony today! I’ll throw on my Gryffindor robes right before class 🪄⚡️

Talking to my 11yo this morning was hard; the disbelief in his eyes broke my heart.
