SORRY POSTING HAS BEEN SO LIGHT. The DSL came back yesterday, but I’ve been busy with lots of real work. I’m an outside reviewer for quite a few people at other universities who are up for tenure or promotion and I’ve had to read a mountain of scholarly articles and write nuanced critiques of them.

I was in the office today, and — as usual — so were quite a few colleagues, including one who was back from serving on the Board of Inquiry in the California port strike. “When they saw my fierce visage,” he reported, “they ran for cover.” Well, not really.

It is astonishing how many people I see at the office on Sundays. Just another way in which my experience of law teaching fails to live up to the fantasies of my friends who practice law.
