Jason Samuel as Judge Poser

June 10 to June 12

My family is taking a road trip to see my sister, who lives outside of Philadelphia.  I plan on returning to New York on Sunday, June 12th.  Monday, June 13th will be my first day at work.

Keep us in your prayers, especially me for my first day with the Judge.

I may post while "away."  Stay tuned.

Federalist Society Cocktail Party

There's a Federalist Society cocktail party tonight in Greenwich Village, which I am attending.  It's for summer associates in New York.  The invitation said "for summer associates in the New York city area."  I am neither a summer associate, nor will I be working in the New York City area, but I'm sure I'll have a lot in common with the other attendees, right?

I wonder though, will there be any other first year law students since summer associates tend to be just finished with their 2L year.

I mean, I'm sure we all have copies of Scalia's A Matter of Interpretation: Federal Courts and the Law.   I am, by the way, steaming through his portion of the  book.  To those unfamiliar with this work, Justice Scalia's portion is only about fifty pages.  The remaining 100 pages or so are comments from Gordon S. Wood, Laurence H. Tribe, Mary Ann Glendon, Ronald Dworkin.  Justice Scalia responds, in the end, to his commentors.
